“empire of dirt”

Prompt: you deify me, from raise_the_knife for salt_burn_porn

A/N: Sam/Ruby; character study of Ruby. Title from the song “Hurt” by Johnny Cash. Hearts to kalliel for the read-through. Set post-5.01, in vague early S5.

Summary: Ruby doesn't die. She just doesn't quite live, either.

( Ruby wakes up a goddess. )

oh lord. the sensory descriptions of how Ruby feels in this new body are bone-chilling, especially the Ed Gein shoutout. eesh.

the obnoxious one with the Empire State Building on his shoulder

so many good lines! that one's probably my favorite. you write the best Ruby, hands down.

You make me blush! Thank you so much. Ruby (if you couldn't tell) is my favorite character, and her headspace is so delicious to work in. :)

(Also, I was super proud of the Ed Gein line and the Empire State Building one, so props for mentioning those!)

I can't think of the words right now, but this fic is so atmospheric, always slightly off-kilter, and definitely left an impression. Great job!

Thank you so much! I'm really glad that the tone of this fic worked for you- since it was written on a time constraint, I went for atmosphere over plot, and I was definitely happy with the result. :)

Oh man, wrong in all the right ways. I LOVE your Ruby!

vie_dangerouse November 4 2011, 03:26:33 UTC

Best compliment ever! Thank you! <3

RUBY IS MY FAVORITE.

Also, I want Ruby, Sam, and Dean in the car together like nothing else. guhh, yes to all of this.

vie_dangerouse November 5 2011, 02:59:00 UTC

MINE TOO.

Meeee too. I need a Ruby/Sam/Dean roadtrip. And also a threesome. These things could coincide. XD

Thank you for reading, lovely! <3

You're welcome :-*
