Cabinet of Curiosities - Master Post
Summary: Sam Winchester has four problems when he runs into an old friend from high school.
1. Vanessa thinks he’s just a perfectly normal guy. Dean knows better. And balancing the past and present is going to be tricky, especially since . . .
2. Dean won’t stop flirting with her. Except when he’s busy dealing with the fact that . . .
3. Vanessa lives in what just might be the weirdest and creepiest house Sam has ever seen. Oh, and then there’s . . .
4. The ghost.
Details: 22,400 words. R (for language). Gen. Set after "Playthings" and before "Nightshifter." Attitudes, opinions, actions, and violence comparable to what is seen on the show.
Disclaimer: I don't own Sam, Dean, or the Supernatural universe. No profit, etc.
Author's Note: This story is set in the same continuity as, includes a character from, and references the story Things They Would Not Teach Me of in College. You don't need to have read that story to read this one, but this one will give away a couple of its plot points.
Thanks: To wendy and thehighwaywoman, for giving so much time and energy and effort to this event.
To gramarye1971, because it's not often a fic needs a research assistant, but I could not have done this without your help.
To varadia, you're a sounding board, a sanity check, and a beta extraordinaire, and in addition to all that, you're the one who got me to watch Supernatural in the first place.
To mountain_born, you helped me brainstorm, listened to me babble for months, beta'ed the whole thing twice, and generally supported every stage of getting this thing from idea to finished story.
And to 1orelei, it has just been an utter privilege and complete pleasure to work with you on this. I cannot say enough about how much I love your art! It's been amazing to see what you come up with, and you've been an awesome collaborator.
You ladies all rock.
