Masterpost - Silver Bullet Blues

title: Silver Bullet Blues
author:  [livejournal.com profile] glasslogic
artist:  [livejournal.com profile] yanyann
wordcount: 68k
fandom: SPN
pairing: Sam/Dean
rating: NC-17
warning: Non-con, dub-con, wincest, language. Posted for the SPN J2 BB
disclaimer: I have no rights to any of the copyrighted materials within this fic, and make no profit from it.
summary: Sam's life at Stanford is falling apart. One day it's clear skies ahead, the next his fiancée is dead in an apartment fire and he doesn't know how to even start picking up the pieces. The tragedy brings his estranged father back into his life, only for John to vanish again weeks later, gunned down on a street corner halfway across the country. Security footage shows the crime, but Sam doesn't understand how it happened and the search for answers will take him far from the California coast as he uncovers family secrets and buried lies -- learning the hard way that some doors you open really should have stayed shut.



author's notes: The first thing I must do is offer my profound apologies to anyone who has been waiting for this story. It's been a comedy of errors (I hear some of them might actually be funny in about a decade) since about mid-June, and every time something seemed to be going right, guaranteed on its heels something was about to go disastrously wrong. The most recent were LJ eating my formatting for 11 sections of the story twice, and then a 200 gallon salt water aquarium... I think the correct term is "failed." I don't know. Did you know you can buy wet dry vacs at 3 am at Walmart? They needed a new floor anyway. Not sure they needed new drywall though. I wasn't ignoring those of you who have been gently poking, I was just doing everything I could to get the damn thing up.

In honor of my having no idea what was going on with LJ, this fic is being hosted at A03 instead. If you have trouble with the site (it always locked my computer up for a minute) let me know and I'll see what I can do. 

I also need to thank [livejournal.com profile] yanyann for the great art! She's had her own RL stuff going on lately, but I think we're finally all well acquitted of our duties *wryly* You guys should stop by and give her love!

This fic might never have happened except for the generous help of the people below who gave me hours of advice and support. There's just a point where you can't track your own writing anymore. I think I hit that wall around page 2 *grins* As always, all errors are squarely on me. These guys made a lot of suggestions, and I appreciated every one! 

[livejournal.com profile] saraid[livejournal.com profile] elumir_calemmir[livejournal.com profile] ruby_jelly[livejournal.com profile] summerholt, and [livejournal.com profile] acollapsngdream were all absolutely amazing to work with on this project. I,uh, actually forgot about this fic entirely for about 6 weeks (see above note) and so missed the window I promised to hand it out for betaing in. It's a little lengthy, and all of these guys just jumped in to help. I honestly don't have words to really express how grateful I am, but I am more than happy to return the favor if they need it. Or art. I do that too *HUGS* 

[livejournal.com profile] elusive_life_77 My dear friend, co-mod on the Undead Big Bang, and zombie-killing buddy helped prop me up when I realized exactly what I'd signed myself up for again. Of course, then she immediately snuck out through a window, abandoning me with my misery! She said something about getting married, but I think it was just an excuse *loftily*

[livejournal.com profile] vodou_blue Vodou gets honorable mention! She's helped with the grammar on every long fic I've done and agreed to help out with this one too. Sadly, her schedule usually precludes last minute stuff so I just ran out of time *winces* 

This has been somewhat long winded, but I just want to close by mentioning my gratitude to Wendy, one of the SPN J2 BB mods. She has been generously patient with the scheduling errors and I was very grateful for her support and head pats. There was enough yelling going on in the real world *wryly*

Anyone who helped me out and I haven't mentioned, feel free to remind me so I can add you to the list!

YAY! *does happy dance* It's finally here! I just wanna apologize for having been so...persistent about it (aka annoying?!). But yeah...when I saw 'Glasslogic' and 'werewolves'...I kinda got loony! I LOVED The Cause Sanguine, so yep...can't wait for this! It sounds SOOO interesting!

Anyhoo, already downloaded it (thank goodness for AO3, eh?!) and I promise I'll comment when I've read it! But it might take a while - I wanna savour it! ;)

Awww *grins* No problems, you were fine, I would have been poking around going "fic?" "fic?" too! This was, uh, really different from The Cause Sanguine, but I hope you enjoyed the story <3

Well...I'm up to chapter 15...and loving it! You're right about it being different from The Cause Sanguine. But that's what I love about your writing so much - your fics are always so diverse, and yet they're all great! I don't know how you manage to think up the plots you come up with...but dude, you're a genius! A writing genius!

*grins* I clearly need to talk to you more, you're good for my ego. Also, that is a fantastic icon!

I shall be your ego booster...or something like that, lol! And yes, the icon - what can I say, I've got a thing for bunnies. It's mostly 'cause me and my best friend started thinking what each of our plot bunnies would look like...and we came up with some pretty insane and hilarious stuff. I found the pic I made this icon from somewhere on Google Images. Wish I knew where it came from - it's totally awesome! Fits most of my 'bunnies' pretty damn well!
