The idea for this story came to me after a comment my good friend Windyfontaine made regarding demonic eyes. She mentioned that we'd seen black, yellow and red - perhaps it was time for a different colour - what about fuchsia eyes? And of course, my freaky mind filed it away for future reference. Alisa, thanks - and here's your fuchsia-eyed demon.

Thanks also goes to Alisa for letting me borrow her for the story. I wrote in a big Sammy-hug for her for the privilege.

And oh, gosh, how embarrassing....this  tied with another story for Best Humour in the SN.TV 2008 Awards – Concussed And Loving It, written by....*blush*....me...

Sheesh.....

Original dedication: For Alex, with love.

Heh...bet you were beginning to think I’d never come back.....geez, I was beginning to worry about that myself.....*looks chagrined*

Welcome to That’s What Big Brothers are For.

I got the idea for this story around the time that Born Under a Bad Sign screened in the US. From the ads, some comments on the SN.TV website and my own over-active imagination, I wrote a few lines down and contacted a fellow Aussie SPN fan – Aussiemel – to ask her about the episode. I wanted to use a few lines from Dean and Sam’s phone call at the beginning of the episode in the fic. The one-shot was written almost in its entirety when I realised, after talking to Mel, that I could actually flesh it out into a full multi-chapter story.

However it sat in the folder for months, incomplete and neglected, while my fickle muse herded me into other projects. Finally she pointed her spindly little finger back at it, and so I dusted off the cobwebs and finished it. At last.

So here is the result. The original one-shot is still in the story, with only a few minor tweaks to make it fit, but it’s ended up way down in the epilogue instead of being the main thrust of the whole fic.

Thanks goes to Mel, though, for helping me out way back then. I’m sure she thought the damned thing would never get finished.

I’d also like to give a shout-out to Cindy123, a friend and fellow fanfic writer. At the time I started working on Big Brothers in earnest, Cindy had her second story – Combustible – going. And as it got towards the ending, I saw elements in her fic which were the same or very, very similar to what I had in mine. So I did the only courteous thing and PM’d her, telling her what I was working on and asking her permission to continue. And she very kindly gave it. So thanks, Cindy, once again.

Oh, and it won Best Horror/Demon in the 2008 SN.TV Fanfiction Awards. I’m pretty well chuffed about that.

And one final bit of trivia....this was the story that started my auntie Chris, whom a number of you know better as Chasidern, on her path to creating SPN artwork. The one she did for this story was her first ever Supernatural story banner.

Right, I’ve burbled on enough, apart from thanking my usual support crew of Ziggy and Chasidern for beta and banner. Go, girls!

Enjoy!

Title: A Christmas Prayer
Season: Pre-series
Category: General, Action, One Shots
Warnings: Possible schmoop.
Tagline: What do you pray for? I pray for you...
Total Word Count: 4354
Total Chapters: 1
Beta: ziggyuk
Story Banner: Chasidern

This was inspired by a couple of things. One of which was the line in the pilot episode that Dean hadn’t spoken to Sam in two years, which meant that at some stage during Sam’s Stanford years, they had broken contact. Another was the fight between Sam and John which led to Sam leaving for college. I was intrigued as to what it was about, and so I decided to play around with it a bit myself.

Don’t know if I’m entirely happy with the result – I think it probably could have been a bit meatier, given the volatile personalities of the two Winchesters concerned, i.e. John and Sam.

The third thing that inspired me for this one-shot was Sam’s comment in the season two episode Houses Of The Holy, when he told Dean he prayed every day. The little wheels in my freaky brain started turning, wondering where and when he began to pray, since the rest of his family weren’t that way inclined. So I ran with the Stanford years as Sam’s greatest change, and possibly where he started his prayer life. And I’m damned sure Dean would be at or very near the top of the list for Sam’s prayers.

Anyway, hope you enjoy this, my first Christmas fic. Which was inspired by my friend and fellow fanfic writer, Windyfontaine, who put the thought into my head that I should do a Christmas fic....and which kicked off the whole tradition of me doing one every year from then on. Darn plot bunnies....

This was an experiment. Ages ago, I’d read a Star Trek fan-written story in a published collection, set during the original series. Two main characters were trapped in a cave, and the whole story was just dialogue. You had to guess who was speaking, but it was pretty easy, as it was Spock and McCoy, and they have very distinctive speech patterns.

The novelty of the idea stuck with me, and years later, when Supernatural came along and I started writing fanfiction of my own, I wondered whether I could try a story based on the same concept. An analysis of the boys’ speech patterns and phrases told me that I just might be able to pull it off, so I tried it...and here is the result. Hope you enjoy.

Disclaimer: As usual, don't own them, not making any profit, yadda-yadda-yadda. And of course the usual effusive thanks to my awesome backup team - Chasidern for the banner, and Ziggy for the beta. Thanks, auntie and sis!
