            She punishes those who feel guilt for a death no one else knows about. After she is freed from her mirror, given a phantom body, her power is unleashed and she lashes at the men within reach. 

            In the eyes of one she sees that beautiful blonde, dead from warnings that went unheeded. In the other—

            He holds up a mirror and Mary sees herself, sees everyone she’s ever destroyed.  The guilt swells and breaks over her head, swamping her with decades of memories.  She wishes she could still cry, but all she can do is groan and sink inward.

I think reading that fic would break _me_.

No way. You don't cry. You told me so yourself.

And how dare you inspire me while I'm so close to the end of "White Ladder?"

On another note, you wouldn't mind if I wrote that, though, would ya, Oh Tickler of Musical Muse?

[tigriswolf]

Mind? Are you loony? I'd love it!

And I do cry. It just takes a lot to get to me.

Hmm, is that a challenge, then?

I think I saw a challenge comm somewhere where all the fics had to be inspired by song lyrics? D'ya know what i'm talking about? Maybe I could join that and give myself a kick in the pants to get this fic finished so I can make you cry, LOL.

spn_boc? Or the evil!Sam thing? Those are the only two I know of.

Take that as a challenge, if you want. *hee*

Hmm, I dunno. I think the one I was thinking of was one of those table thingies, which is why I didn't sign up to begin with. Those things confuse the hell outta me. Yeah, blonde moments abound, LOL. But I'm still gonna write that anyway, cuz my gut is clenching around the damned thing.

Might be a multi-chap or a really, really, long oneshot, LOL. Ought to map that thing out, methinks.

Dude! I think that song may have just rerouted my whole novel project. LOL. I was having my two brother go on a road trip...yeah, yeah, not very original, blah, blah, but I was really lacking a motivation for them to go. I had this cheesy villain dude that I really, really didn't buy myself.

I can totally use the dream thing without turning it into Supernatural. Because well, one of the brothers, he be dead, ya know? But it's the living one who really needs saving. Hmmmm. I need to mull over this a bit more, but I think you fixeded my novel. Dork!

Glad I could help!
