#my heaven dean jr fic ended up turning into a worldbuilding dump about the afterlife in the spn universe

DOUBLE TIME TRAVEL FICS? we readers are truly getting spoiled.

Haha yeah. I've been chipping away at mine in the background here since probably like... Late 2019? Or early 2020. I sort of thought I'd just leave it as a "forever in the drafts folder" because it's uh, it's something, and tbh I've never been sure if others will like it at all or if it's one or those pieces that's really just for me.

buuuut I keep returning to it every few months for the last 3 years I guess, and it's grown both on the page and in my head so much and I have so many fresh pieces for it that I'm excited to draft, so I'm talking about it more. It's still self-indulgently "for me" in that it's a miserable plot-heavy slog with a deeply messed up and traumatized version of Sam and all sorts of messy interactions with his fam. And flashbacks. Because I'm a sucker for a flashback and love writing them (or otherwise interrupting the flow of linear time in a story).

But anyway!

Roni @applecrumbledore has also been an inspiration and has cheered me on a bit, which has helped :) it means I may get around to actually finishing this fic (it's over 50k words already but I'm expecting it to tap out over 80) and posting for the niche audience who might enjoy.
