Fusion (Master Post)
Title: Fusion (Master Post)
Prompt/Summary: This is a 'verse that started out as a single comment-fic, prompted by roque_clasique at a Dean-focused h/c comment-fic meme over at hoodie_time. The original prompt is here, and went thusly: Dean fucks up his knee one too many times and either has to amputate or fuse it, so he chooses to have it fused.
So the prompt kind of grew in my head, and turned into a Sam-comes-back-from-hell story, and then it kind of became a curtain!fic, and then it became a 'verse. Each story can mostly stand alone, although it helps if you read the first one, so you know the basic premise.
Characters: mainly Sam 'n' Dean, a bunch of OCs, and quite possibly some canon characters might pop up later.
Rating: Will vary from fic to fic, please check out individual headers
Disclaimer: I'm holding out hope that I might get them for Christmas this year. Until then, none of 'em are mine.
Warnings: Will vary from fic to fic, please check out individual headers

STORIES IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER
Author's Note: The first story I ever wrote in this 'verse was Fusion, although there have been many "prequels" since. I suggest you start with that one, if only to get an idea of why I wrote things the way I did subsequently. Starting at the "beginning" might actually be a little confusing for some.
BONUS FIC!
The lovely an talented lavinialavender has written a ficlet set in the same 'verse (though I will not be taking it into account when writing my own stuff -much simpler for me that way). Simple Gifts, in which Bobby pays the boys a visit. It's a very sweet look at the boys through Bobby's eyes. :)
ART
The lovely and talented kamidiox, has drawn a beautiful comic of the end of Home to My Heart, which you can see here.
Yet more artwork by the lovely and talented and kamidiox has made more art! This time for The Only Easy Day.
And now the spectacularly talented quickreaver has illustrated Making It Work

How much do I love that Fusion is inspiring people to do so many awesome things? running_hot wrote a song for the 'verse! Follow this link to get to the post. :)
