all my keysmash are belong to you

Here's the thing about the following fic: if it were a successory, it would be this one, except with Castiel instead of ninjas.

A thousand hugs and smooches to zempasuchil for betareading; this would've been a poorer fic without her. Z was also the one who pointed me to the song I yoinked the title from, because I guess U2 preemptively made a song based on my fic. Thanks, U2! Dean is totally standing with the sons of Cain and burned by the fire of love. Sleep def comes like a drug, and there are sad eyes and crooked crosses everywhere, so preach it, Bono! Thanks also to vikki for listening to me babble to my heart's content, and to Ezekiel 1:1-28 because what would fandom do without it?

<333 xaara, my sweet! I took your prompt and kinda ran fast and loose with it. I hope it still hits on what you wanted. And if you wanted Dean/Incandescent Light shenanigans with a bit of desert!Cas, then you are especially in luck.


In God's Country
Supernatural. Dean, Castiel, Sam, John. PG13. Spoilers for 1x06, 4x01, S3, and 5x16.
Written for Xaara at castielfest, based on her "Castiel is Dean's imaginary friend" AU prompt. Set during Stanford era and pre-series, with bits of other seasons. ~5600 words

( Dad used to say Dean had a lucky streak a mile wide. )

I signed up for Racebending Revenge at dark_agenda because do you know how long I've been threatening to write Indonesian!Winchesters? Since March, apparently. And then I missed the July 2 posting deadline because I was off celebrating someone else's independence day. LOL. Better late than never! ALSO, the icon for my Dreamwidth post is pretty much the appropriatest in many ways. Someone randomly made a map of Indonesia the background for a Winchesters icon, and hey! Now it's time for Indochesters.

I have grand plans to write more in this 'verse, but here are two ficlets for now. 'Verse summary: They follow the trail of the thing that killed their mother from West Java, Indonesia to the USA. This is Satrio. This is Dimas. Handy-dandy Indonesian/Sundanese translations are here.

North for the Winter
Pre-series. One of the few times their father took them north in the wintertime. "Do we even have a word for snow?" 590 words.

Jejak Kaki
Early S1. Brothers on the road, rediscovering. The title means 'footprints'. "It's not that Satrio has anything against his mothertongue, but Dimas speaks it like he's making a point." Also 590 words.

And now for some cultural identity soapboxing! ( tl;dr re: multilingualism and the monolingual bias )

I've also been wanting to write Indonesian!Pevensies since a year ago. That's still on the to-do list, as is Muslim Indonesian Jimmy Novak. I also just signed up for mundane_bingo and spnsupporting because I am a crazy person. I've yet to get my bingo card, but my spnsupporting characters are pretty predictable.
