Swanseajill's Fan Fiction
I've finally gathered all my fan fiction in one place - or at least, links to all the stories! Here you'll find stories from a number of different fandoms. I've always been a sucker for buddy shows, starting with shows like Alias Smith and Jones and Starsky and Hutch. My fic is always gen (I don't do slash) and I don't think there's much over a PG13 and that's usually for a degree of violence and a few cuss words!
Supernatural
Supernatural is my current obsession. I totally love the show, more for the relationship between Dean and Sam than for the actual supernatural storylines. My stories feature both boys, but tend to be more Deancentric. Jensen Ackles rocks.

Dark Angel
I didn't get into this show when it originally aired and have only recently caught up with it. I love the ideas and the concept behind the show, although I admit I found some of the episodes a bit boring! However, I enjoyed Jensen Ackles' portryal of Alec enough to be tempted to write some fic.
Without a Trace
I love this show, and Eric Close in particular! So far only one short story completed, but several in outline form that may get written eventually.

Stargate SG-1
I loved this show until Ben Browder replaced Richard Dean Anderson. No offense to Mr. Browder, but it just wasn't the same after that.

The Magnificent Seven
I missed the show when it first aired and discovered it through a Vin Tanner fan fiction link from another fandom. I totally adore the show now and I love all the boys. It was a tragedy that such a quality show was cancelled after only two seasons. Vin is by far my favourite, with Chris and Ezra close behind. My fan fic is always Vin-centric, usually revolving around the friendship between Chris and Vin.
McKenna
A show most people have never heard of, it starred Eric Close and told the story of a family of Outfitters in the Orgeon Wilderness. It only lasted for one season and wasn't the best show ever broadcast, but I was interested in the dynamic between the father (played by Chad Everett) and son (played by Eric Close). So I wrote what I thought would be a short story that ended up at around 31,000 words.

Author: Swanseajill
Rating: Gen, PG-13
Characters: Sam, Dean, Bobby
Pairing: None
Spoilers: Set straight after the events of No Rest for the Wicked.
Disclaimer: Don’t own them, making no money from them.
Summary: Sam stands at the window of the dimly lit room staring into the night, composing himself inwardly, preparing himself mentally for the task ahead. It’s important that he’s ready. It’s vital that he’s strong enough. If he fails, he may lose himself. If he fails, he’ll lose Dean.
Author's Notes: I started this straight after Season Three because I couldn’t handle the idea that Dean really had gone to hell, but never finished it – until now! It was inspired by one of the final shots in No Rest, where the camera zooms through Dean’s eye to show him being tortured. I took a few liberties with the extent of Dean’s injuries to make it work!
Grateful thanks to Dotfic who kindly agreed to beta for me – this is a vastly improved fic as a result of her ruthlessness and eye for detail!

Rating: Gen, PG-13
Characters: Sam, Dean
Pairing: None
Spoilers: Set in Season One, between Faith and Shadow
Disclaimer: Don’t own them, making no money from them.
Author's Notes: This is a straightforward casefic with some sick!Dean and hurt!Dean thrown in for good measure. It’s set in Season One because I’m a little worn out with all the current angst of deals and hell and stuff. It was written specially for Sylia91 who was kind enough to bid on me as an author in an auction last year – Sylia, I’m sorry it took so long and I hope it was worth the wait.
Grateful thanks as always to iamstealthyone for her fantastic beta job and for her encouragement to see this fic through to the bitter end.

Spoilers: No rest for the Wicked, Yellow Fever
Disclaimer: Don’t own them, making no money from them.
Summary: A missing scene from Yellow Fever. It takes place at the motel, just before Sam leaves to meet Bobby. “Sam wasn’t sure how much longer he could keep up the façade. Deep down, he was beginning to feel more and more out of his depth.”
Author’s Note: I had some issues with this episode, and this is my attempt to fix some of them – a form of self-therapy I’ve decided to inflict on unsuspecting readers. Many thanks to my beta, iamstealthyone, who made some very insightful suggestions and helped me gain some perspective after reading the first draft. Any mistakes or inconsistencies of character portrayal in the end result are, however, 100% mine!

Disclaimer: Don’t own them, making no money from them.
Summary: A question has been circling Sam’s mind since Dean’s deal came violently due. What am I going to do now? It’s only at this moment, as he sits beside his brother’s grave, that he realizes he already knows the answer. Dean gave it to him, in his final words.
Author's Notes: Grateful thanks as always to imstealthyone for her fantastic beta job and for her continued encouragement.

Summary: After days of keeping one eye fixed surreptitiously on the door, Caitlin almost missed the moment the
Author's Notes: This is the second in a planned series about Dean’s relationship with an original character, Caitlin Connor. It’s a sequel to Uncharted Waters so some references won’t make sense if you haven’t read the first story.
Massive thanks to my beta iamstealthyone who has patiently nursed me and this story through several traumatic drafts.
Title: Uncharted Waters
Author: Swanseajill
Characters: Dean, Sam, OFC
Pairing: Mild Dean/OFC
Warning/Spoilers: Set between Hunted and Playthings
Disclaimer: Don’t own them, making no money from them.
Summary: “It should have been me! The parnock attacked me. But Dean deliberately got in the way, and it took him down instead. Stupid, overprotective jerk! He doesn’t deserve this, Caitlin. He doesn’t deserve to die.”
Author's Notes: This is the first time I’ve attempted a fic that could be categorized ‘het’. I love writing about the boys and the dymanic between them, but I wanted to try something different and introduce a female character who may, if this series continues, become romantically involved with one of the boys. Your feedback on this venture would be appreciated!
Ginormous thanks to my beta, iamstealthyone, who’s sweated over this and put up with my whining and insecurities.

Summary: ‘Dean had his bases covered, a plan in case his words weren’t enough to bring Sam back. A plan he couldn’t share with Bobby. If Bobby knew what he intended, he’d try to stop him, and that couldn’t happen. He was was prepared to risk everything rather than lose his brother again.’
Author's Notes: Grateful thanks as always to iamstealthyone for her fantastic beta job and for pointing out scenes that needed to be written to make this a far better story. You rock.

By: Swanseajill
Rating: Gen, PG-13
Pairing: No pairing
Characters: Dean, Sam
Spoilers: Born Under a Bad Sign
Disclaimer: I don't own these characters nor am I making any money from them
Summary: Dean looked battered, exhausted and on the verge of collapse. The left side of his face was swollen and bruised and Sam flinched at the sight. He’d done that, with his own fist. He had no memory of it, but the evidence was right there in front of him.
Author’s notes: I know there have already been lots of excellent missing scenes and codas written for BUABS, but I still wanted to write my own. I really wish we could have seen what happened immediately after Dean hit Sam, and that’s where this missing scene starts. Thanks to iamstealthyone for her usual helpful beta.
