This is Andrew Hill’s Compulsion!!!!! which is one of my favorite albums. It’s a lot

one interesting thing about it for nerds is that John Gilmore plays sax on it. Gilmore was basically Sun Ra’s right hand man—-if you’ve heard ‘Saturn’ he plays the solo on that one and on almost everything else—-to the point of almost never recording with anyone else. He was such an incredible player that he’s one of Coltrane’s only contemporaries who he mentioned as a strong influence (and you can hear it!) It’s amazing hearing him in a different context (Hill is an amazing composer but he’s very different than Sun Ra)

John Gilmore: The Sonic Architect of Avant-Garde Jazz

Introduction: In the pantheon of jazz, where the names of saxophonists like John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, and Charlie Parker loom large, one figure remains shrouded in mystery yet revered among musicians and aficionados: John Gilmore. A central figure in the avant-garde movement, Gilmore spent most of his career as the tenor saxophonist for Sun Ra’s Arkestra, playing a key role in shaping the…

Family Love Snippet from the Unbreakable Series (Book 2, The Rescue)

Hi!!! Y'all have voted, and the poll showed Family Love, which is great. Euwenn's family is so important to him. He loves his siblings (Tara and Ryan) and has always been close with his mother (Maeve) and father (John). When Alabaster cursed him to never return to his family, and simultaneously made everyone he loved believe that he was dead, it tore into Euwenn and left him broken and frightened at only 17 years old. The Curse follows Euwenn as he works to un-do the curse -- or at least, find a life worth living. The Rescue follows Euwenn's friends (Rowan, Mirabel, Bek and others) as they struggle to find him when he is kidnapped, and cope with his erratic behavior once he returns.

This snippet is a TEENSY bit spoiler-y, though ... given that there's a 5 (going on 6) book series ... eh, you could probably guess the "spoilers" that are revealed. BUT if you'd rather avoid all spoilers, then this snippet is unfortunately not for you. Feel free to request other snippets -- whump, angst, and romantic love are still on the table (it's ... light romance, no spice) -- because I just love sharing Words. :) You could even request from specific books (The Curse, The Rescue, Alabaster's Revenge, Escapades, Empire of Dirt, and [in the writing phase] Good Bones).

Anyhow, rambled enough. Words beneath the cut. :)

John Gilmore knows what others see when they look at the pale young man before him. They see soon-to-be Captain Euwenn Gilmore. They see immense power, restrained behind a veneer of inexplicable kindness and gentleness. They see intelligence, a man who is more than just a source of power and might. They see a man who is good at his job – exceptionally so. They see someone who can never crumble, never break, never succumb to evil. They see someone who is wise beyond his years, kind despite the world’s unkindness, and stronger than most.

That isn’t what John sees before him now.

In many ways, those who see the soon-to-be Captain Gilmore were right. Euwenn is all of that – and far more. But John sees none of that now, here, in this hospital room. He sees none of those battles, none of that magic. He just sees his son – his first born child, lying there on that hospital bed, pale and unmoving. Memories surround him, memories long buried beneath that malicious spell and shimmer that had claimed Euwenn for six years. Memories of many vigils sat like this, watching over Euwenn as he slept off fevers, broken bones, and nightmares. Memories of laying cool cloths over Euwenn's forehead, smoothing back sweat-curled hair, murmuring soothing words when he woke, panicked and confused. John had never been as comfortable nor as capable as Maeve when it came to nursing their children, but he refused to leave them when they needed him.

A sharp pang of regret slices through him as he wonders who had nursed Euwenn during those six long years. Had anyone? Had there been anyone he could turn to, to help him when he was sick or injured? He hopes that Mirabel and Rowan had been there, had been there to take care of him, to keep him going, to comfort him when he was struggling.

John smooths back Euwenn's curls, wishing desperately he could have those six missing years back. Maybe then they wouldn’t be here, hoping and praying that somehow, Euwenn could hold on through this horrific pain and terror that he had been handed.

He is sleeping naturally now, at least, and they had let Maeve bring in a few blankets from home to replace those scratchy white hospital blankets. It would help calm him and re-orient him when he awoke, so Monica had said. John was just grateful he didn’t have to look at the way his son blended into the dead white of the room.

(hope that was good ... a lot of the other family interactions are SUPER spoilery unfortunately) Let me know what you think!! :D

Summary:

 John leaves Sam and Dean at a motel to go on a hunt. After spending a week alone, the owner calls CPS and the boys are taken into custody. The last thing Dean tells 8-year-old Sam is to ‘be good’, and once separated Sam does his best to do just that. But once Sam realizes that he won’t be going back to either John or Dean ever again, his stubborn streak kicks in and he will only answer to the name Dean. Sam gets adopted by the Foresters, who move to Chicago and then Stars Hollow. Where he meets Rory Gilmore.

Dean is left to rot in the system, after being deemed too violent, and eventually ages out. He tries to find Sam but fails as Sam Winchester no longer exists. Dean seeks out Bobby, and ends up moving in with the hunter, working as a mechanic in between searching for Sam.

A lucky break results in Dean finding a small-town newspaper that features the MVP of the Stars Hollow High School hockey team, who bears a striking resemblance to Sam. Dean heads out to Connecticut and finds Sam, safe and sound, but thoroughly humiliated by his crush. Before they leave, they seek the revenge that soothes Sam’s soul. And leaves Dean wondering what the hell happened to the innocent little boy he used to know.
