( After Mama’s death, Kurt started dreaming of a wolf. )

a) You know what I just got a craving for? Some good old-fashioned overprotective big brother Dean Winchester fics. How odd is that? I kinda wanna rewatch seasons 1&2 now.

b) Remember that job I got fired from last year? Yeah, I'll be going back, in a different section, doing something different, the week after next. If all goes well, I'll be there till the end of June/start of July.

c) Last week (on Mardi Gras!) the temp agency I signed on with sent me to a call center. The four days I was there, I hated it more than the movie theater/department store combined. I actually called

tigremerein tears. It was bad.

d) I've been working on the Highlander/Avengers movieverse crossover ( 'a taste of lightning' ) recently. It's at ff.net and Ao3 at the moment. I'm really not sure when I'll move it here. Anyway, the research I've conducted into Norse mythology has made me like Loki even more. Fuck, but he and his kids got a raw deal. The Norse gods were a bunch of douchebags.

e) I'm waiting to recieve the final go-ahead on the Klaine Princess Diaries fic from the beta. Then I've got to figure out how to put navigation bars and the header into it in HTML. It's the longest thing I've ever set out to write, and I really do love it.

f) What kind of jobs involve mythology?

g) I'm twenty-four now.

previous ideas:   I II III IV V

Okay, so let's say the Greek Fates(Clotho, Lachesis, Atropos) exist in the SN world. And let's say The Demon(yellow-eyed bastard) knows them from somewhere.

Now, Dean's bleeding-out because of something and there's this woman talking to him. She asks him, "Tell me the truth, Dean. If it all hinged on one choice, all came down to the one decision--Sam or the world. Which would you pick to survive?"

And Dean, blood dripping from his mouth, says, "To live... I'd pick Sam."

The woman smiles and pats his cheek, says, "You'd light the world afire to save Sam. Now, give me what I want and I can keep him free, away from your enemy."

Dean isn't sure what she means(he's dying, after all, all his blood pooling on the ground) but keeping Sam safe? Sounds like a mighty fine idea. So he whispers, "Sure" and his head falls back and no more blood in his body equals dead Dean.

The woman stands up and looks around, calls, "Well, you got what you wanted. So now give me what I want."

A shadow filters in. "Very well, Lachesis. If you keep that arrogant pup out of the game, he's yours."

Lachesis smiles and tells the shadow, "Nice doing business with you, Croatoan," and kneels by Dean's side, touches his forehead. "Dean is dead to you, to Sam, to the world--so now you must leave Sam alone." She looks up at him, eyes hard and cold. "Understood, demon?"

"Yes."
