Summary: Sam and Dean are Onmyouji in Heian Era Japan, Castiel their friend who can See the supernatural. When an earthquake strikes the ancient capital, Dean rushes to the palace only to become trapped along with the rest of its inhabitants by Yamato no Orochi, an eight-headed serpent that should be long slain. It's a race against time for Sam and Cas to find a solution before Dean and the Emperor are devoured by the monster, but these are dangerous times, and even the gods aren't very inclined to help.
I attempted to write this as if it were an English translation of a period piece, and The Tale of the Heike was an amazing piece of stylistic inspiration. I hope I mostly succeeded and that you will enjoy this story.
