Spoilers: Up to Jus In Bello. I shouldn't even mention how much this chapter was "Jossed" by the season finale. Actually, I was surprised by how close I got. After watching the finale, I was tempted to make a few changes to this chapter, just small things to bring it more into line with the canon. But, no. This is my vision of how it might have gone down; I'm gonna let it stand.

Title: Restrain, Release
Fandom: Supernatural
Rating: Adults Only
Pairing: Sam/Dean
Summary: Uh...kinky porn. And Sam orders pizza.
Warnings: Uh...kinky porn. Possibly dub-con if you're very sensitive to consent issues, but it's not intended that way.
Notes: Written for Maryliz who bought me in the Sweet Charity Writers Guild Foundation Industry Support Fund auction. She asked me for a BDSM fic with Dean as the sub. I responded with a long shopping list of elements I could include in such a fic - I think I scared her with some of them! If you enjoy the result, thank her, because I wouldn't have written this story otherwise :-)

Title: Nolens Volens
Fandom: Supernatural
Rating: Adults Only
Pairing: Dean/OMC, one reference to Dean/John
Summary: Dean has a secret; Sammy is determined to find out what it is. But the answer may be more than he bargained for.
Warnings: Under-age sex (consent open to interpretation).
Notes: Sequel to In Vino Veritas and Lucem Vocare, but this story can be read as a stand-alone. Dean is sixteen in this story. The title Nolens Volens means "willing or unwilling".
