FIC: A Midsummer's Snow (Supernatural)

Title: A Midsummer's Snow
Author: wizefics
Fandom: Supernatural
Characters: Dean, Sam
Rating: PG
State: Nebraska
Warnings: Spoilers through Season 2. Some mild language. Unbetad.
A/N: Written for spn_50states challenge. I choose to write about Nebraska and the barely recognizable source of the story I wrote can be found here. The details of what I wrote about come from my mother's description and memories of the place. She hales from Nebraska and when I asked her for a good urban legend or ghost story, she jumped to this one right away.

This is my first attempt at a Supernatural fic. Writing a ghost story is a lot harder than I thought it would be! As always, feedback is welcome and appreciated.

Why this must be read:

Brutal, violent, terrifying and so damn good that I'm really astonished this hasn't been recced before - Tessellation is the story of what happens when you come face to face with the ghosts of your past and realize that they are all too solid. Worse, you are doomed to repeat the same cycle time and again until death or madness finally releases you from your self-built prison.

Season 3 opens with an occupied New Caprica and an imprisoned Kara. This tells her piece of that untold story. Even more so, mercurial_wit shows us Leoben in a way that leaves the reader undecided if he is monstrous or strangely, horribly, and humanly recognizable.

If you haven't read this one yet, you've been missing out. Go, read, and be duly impressed!

Author's Note: I have been immensely enamoured of Kara and Leoben's relationship ever since 'Flesh and Bone' in S1, and the writers left a canonical gap in the flow of the S3 premiere that I found far, far too tempting not to fill in. So I scribbled a little last night and a little tonight, and this fell out. Spoilers up to 3x01 'Occupation'.
