Rating: Teen; language
Category: Timeshifter AU (see The Shadow out of Time)
Characters: Sam, Dean, John (& Mary) (credits at the end)
Spoilers: anything before Hell House is fair game; The Shadow out of Time (not necessary to read first, but suggested, as it was written first)
Timeline: the first day of an April in which Dean and Sam are on the road hunting supernatural evil, and their dad is still missing.
Notable Credits: Beta-read by acostilow and follow_midnight; Sam’s scene in the warehouse was written by acostilow. Thanks to diamondback158 for spotting the plothole, and bandcqulsj for the idea with which to pave it. Sam and Dean are not mine, although goddess knows I wish Dean was.
Tagline: If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Conversely, if at first you don’t succeed, hide all the evidence you’ve tried.

We are the innocent,
We are the damned...
We were caught in the middle of the madness
Hunted by the lion and the lamb.
We bring you fantasy,
We bring you pain...
It's your one great chance for a miracle –
Or we will disappear,
Never to be seen again...
~ Dio, ©1987
