    Summary

    No one ever came to know dear-old John Doe. The fact of the matter was, the man who killed him didn’t even know the body had been discovered. He had high-tailed it out of Illinois days ago and hoped that snow or rain or falling leaves would cover the body for him and that, come time for the summer months to roll on in, the kudzu would overflow from the forest and envelop the man.

    He had bigger monsters to worry about, anyway.

    Back in the motel room, the TV buzzed, the air conditioning whirred, the eternal glass plate in the microwave spun up into the sky, and Dean was full of secrets. Both of himself, and of his father.

    John Doe gets buried in an unmarked grave at a small cemetery in one of rural Illinois’ many villages. They don’t know that he died ordering one son to kill the other, that he died with a gun in his mouth and a foot to the stomach and his oldest child telling him that he loves him. And hates him. And hates him. And loves him.

    And that the killer had had tear tracks cutting through the blood and grime on his cheeks, spider-webbing while he shoveled and cried, and that it had been the hottest October on record, ever. As if Hell was rising, cracking up through the asphalt, dream-like. And he couldn’t dig deep enough to put his father there.

    clenching my fist. I love a good exploration of sam and dean's relationship with their father. gorgeously written

    Summary

    "There, naked in the back of Julian’s truck, with his hands in Julian’s long hair (both a little dizzy and sick with the taste of each other underneath the stolen whisky and cigarettes) it was easy to forget about the class they were blowing off, about Julian’s grandma and her secret whisky, his mom and the gun under her bed. Easy to forget about John and his absent presence, Sam and his sun burn, the gun under Dean’s bed and the things he’d killed with it, Oregon, Wyoming, the smoke, the nuns and everything else that had led to them; and everything else that was coming."

    it's 1996, it's the arizona desert and it's hot. The Winchesters are leaving town tomorrow, and everyone in this shitty motel knows about it. Dean shares cigarettes that aren't his, Sam shares some secrets that aren't his either. John doesn't share his whisky. Overall, they've probably all had better nights.

    Summary

    Hannibal Lecter has been hunting the legendary treasure of the Knights Templar ever since his sister died pursuing it. But when their business partner betrays them to keep the riches for himself, Hannibal and Chiyoh are forced to steal one of the most important documents in American history in order to uncover the hidden map to the treasure, and then find it before their nemesis — or the FBI — finds them.

    There's only two problems. The first is the sarcastic, yet compellingly perceptive curator in their way.

    The second is they're stealing the Declaration of Independence.

    A Hannibal/National Treasure crossover written for the 2017 Murder Husbands Big Bang, with art by carrioncrowned.

    Summary

    Fleeing from the closing net of the FBI, Hannibal Lecter finds his chosen retreat borders the territory of a vicious new serial killer preying on Oxford University professors. As he nurses Will and himself back to health, Hannibal works to help Will come to terms with the new layer of intimacy in their relationship and to negotiate Will's compulsion to deliver justice without putting them at risk for discovery.

     

    He can't recall the fall, or which of them broke the choppy waves first, but he can remember Will's hand on the back of his neck, hot as a brand in contrast with the icy water that swallows them. The ocean has a hungry, cold vastness that unsettles even Hannibal, washing them against the rocks like flotsam – and with as little regard for their autonomy.
