Fic: Like Luggage of Some Departed Traveller; Master Post

[britomart_is]

Title: Like Luggage of Some Departed Traveller
Author: britomart_is
Artist: marciaelena
Pairings: Sam/Dean, Sam/Jess, Dean/Jess, Sam/Dean/Jess
Rating: NC-17
Words: 54,000
Warnings: horror themes and imagery, diseases and disasters, mild gore, angst.
Summary: AU from Season One.

Rogue wildlife attacks? Check. Virulent, incurable pandemic? Double check. Relentless string of natural disasters? Check, check, check. Dean's got it hard enough dealing with the collapse of modern society, so imagine his dismay when he goes to Stanford Law to fetch the brother he's been painfully in love with for most of his life and finds that brother happily married. When Sam, Dean, and Jess set off across the country to find their dad, it's all they can do just to stay alive, much less stay true to each other.

[dev-earl.livejournal.com]

spoilsport.

[britomart-is.livejournal.com]

I am, I'm cruel.

[peggy-lane.livejournal.com]

OMG! I can't wait to read this (that's okay, I didn't need to get anything else done today anyway).

[britomart-is.livejournal.com]

♥!

[who-favor-fire.livejournal.com]

I HAVE AN EXAM IN TWO HOURS! NO. NONONONONONO.


*reads*

[britomart-is.livejournal.com]

Oh dear! Hope I didn't sabotage you!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I wasn't going to read this - no sirree. Then I thought I'd just dip into the prologue to see how it was shaping up and now I have to read the rest, dammit. Just wondering - is there going to be a PDF? Before I create my own.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I'm reading online now - I'll wait for the art to make a PDF I think. I like pretty pictures!

[britomart-is.livejournal.com]

Halloo! I was in fact intending to make a PDF and completely forgot - happy to put one together and link it now (er, now-ish, it'll be later this evening). Art is now up, so it'll be complete!
Don't know if you're particularly schooled in the art of PDFing fic - sounds like maybe? - but if there's some particular etiquette of where people upload them (i.e., sites accessible in all countries), I have no idea what it is!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Oh on the etiquette clearly I have no idea as I've only done them for myself before (I have done one for this now because I didn't read my emails in order...)

[britomart-is.livejournal.com]

Thanks for making it, it looks great! Is it all right with you if I link it above?

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Of course! Now I've worked out Mediafire I might as well post the ones I keep making on there, saves duplication of effort, eh?

[jen-chan13.livejournal.com]

THANK YOU!!!! for making the pdf. i just dloaded it.

<3

[cordelia-gray.livejournal.com]

Sam/Dean/Jess, oh yes! Why does work have to interfere with my fic-reading?

[britomart-is.livejournal.com]

Damn that work.

[britomart-is.livejournal.com]

O HAI. I KNOW YOU. <3

[obeetaybee.livejournal.com]

OMG!! So excited!!

[britomart-is.livejournal.com]

Ehehehe, this is kind of redundant since I already replied to your other comment but dude, dude. Our old comment thread was a work of art in itself, I've gotta say.

[nubeinchild.livejournal.com]

This was beautiful and heartbreaking and satisfying and full of all those crazy things that make a person like me smile forever.

Thank you for writing and sharing this.

Ps. Sex scenes ruined my panties. I would like to be compensated for that. They were nice panties.

[britomart-is.livejournal.com]

It's cool, Show actually had to take out catastrophic-sexiness insurance for all the panties Sam Winchester ruins. We can get them to reimburse.

Thanks for reading. ;)

[nubeinchild.livejournal.com]

Dude. I don't think my previous comment conveyed the sheer joy I feel about this story. I have reread and reread again and again because this fic is 100% pure love. And I'm all like... this should be in book form so I could put in in my purse and read it EVERYWHERE

Jesus on a biscuit.

And also I will be contacting Show about replacing my panties. I'm sure they get calls like that all the time, what with Sammy ruining panties all across the globe.

PS I made a PDF and put it on Mediafire (I hope, first one I've tried loading there!) if anyone wants it.

[nubeinchild.livejournal.com]

Snagging that! Thanks!

[elbomac.livejournal.com]

I really, really, really loved this story! You did an amazing job! First, it was so scary! I read it over several sittings, including on my commute, and when I got to my destination and the subway station was weirdly empty, I found myself getting really anxious. :)

I loved the way you portrayed each character, their dilemmas and their relationships. I loved the way you wove the different pieces of canon together. I loved Jess's Oregon Trail reference!

What an amazing read! Well done!

[britomart-is.livejournal.com]

Oooooh man, I would've been freaked out by the empty subway station, too.

Thank you very much! re: Oregon Trail, couldn't help myself.

[big-heart-june.livejournal.com]

Hi there, just letting you know I reccd this here (http://spnroundtable.livejournal.com/285493.html) at the spnroundtable this morning. :))

[britomart-is.livejournal.com]

A belated thank you!

[xela-fic.livejournal.com]

Tis was totally and completely fabulous. I loved everyone-but particularly Jess. So strong and well developed. Perfect for they boys :). Great fic, start to finish.

[britomart-is.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! Writing Jess was somewhat nerve-wracking and I'm really pleased that she clicked for you.

[on-verra.livejournal.com]

Holy Cra. HO.LY.CRAP. That was so good. Like crazy good. I cannot stop thinking about it. SO MUCH LOVE. Especially for your Jess.

Also the first "multiple POV" kinda fic I've read in a while that didn't throw me out of the story. So, well done for that :)

[britomart-is.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

[ambrosia4all.livejournal.com]

Congrats! ☆ Your fic is recced here (http://sawedoff-recs.livejournal.com/132930.html) at sawedoff_recs.

[britomart-is.livejournal.com]

\o/ Thanks for the heads up!

[summerfly.livejournal.com]

Just wanted to say I have really been enjoying your fic list. This piece in particular was incredibly well written and paced. Thanks so much for sharing your talents.

[moonyju.livejournal.com]

i really don't know what to say. perfect. that's all it comes to mind. the characterizations were so perfect. and I loved that Dean and Jess didn't start with the right foot. and i loved everything. thanks for sharing this amazing piece of art with us!

[morrezela.livejournal.com]

I was recced this today, and I spent my whole afternoon reading it.

I really loved it, but mostly the way that Dean and Jess's mutual grief went. I loved how Dean didn't have long strings of words sharing his feelings, but she knew anyway. And I started crying around the, 'I thought we'd be together forever' part.

I also enjoyed the placement of us finally finding out how Sam left right at the end of the story. How Dean just kept trying to make him stay and all the desperate pleas that didn't work.

<3 Thanks so much for writing and sharing.
