Snippet that may never again see the light of day...

So this was how [livejournal.com profile] purenightshade's birthday wing!fic originally started but I kinda closed the file and didn't go back to it... I actually abandon fic quite a lot... just don't like where it's going, can't feasibly see where I'm going to take it or have painted myself into a corner.

I think it's interesting to look at pieces like this and wonder how I drove it into the ground... or maybe I'm just being too hard on the poor little guy. I think probably the warning sign should have been that I actually thought of a title first off... that never ends well.

This piece was going to be called Hunter's Moon.

I'll possibly resurrect this when I start the next piece...

They’d been laughing.

Debating stupid crap like who was hotter, Betty or Wilma. Sam had been circling around and Dean had been calling out. They thought they were alone and Dean could’ve kicked himself for not being more careful, more aware of their surroundings. With Sam up high like that, Dean had felt a kind of awesome invulnerability, like they would see the thing they were hunting way before it saw them.

Other hunters on the other hand, whole different story.

There’d been a kind of whisper-snick that Dean recognised but before he could call out he saw Sam jerk. All the paintball clay pigeon target practice in the world wouldn’t prepare Sam to dodge something he didn’t see. Jerked and fell, wings folded down around his body like a bird who’d hit a window.

Sam disappeared behind a warehouse and Dean ran for it. By the time he circled the building, slowed down by a chain link fence he had to vault, Sam was gone, nothing but the fading screech of tyres to say he was ever there.

Dean cursed long and loud, did a circuit of the clumped together buildings just in case he’d misjudged where Sam had fallen and called Sam’s name until he was hoarse. He dug out his cellphone and called Bobby and then Missouri because Sam was just gone and he needed help.

I have been kind of interested in seeing how people outside of Sanctuary in general, and hunters in specific would respond to Sam.

I'm definitely going there... it's just been hard to give the boys a real excuse to leave the safety of Sanctuary... but with the new arc I'm now over-abunded with ideas... :)

Wow. I really hope you do continue this, but then, I love any installment of wing!fic.

Heheee... :) I will probably make this the beginning of my next piece or the one after... there's a lot of stuff I want to deal with regarding the Guardian-ship and Dean's deal... :)

i like it. i think you could take it many different places. i definately wouldn't mind seeing where you would end up taking it.
