If you’ve been listening to the podcast lately, you have heard snippets about Kasey, Dreamer, and Sandra’s collective experience participating in this year’s Wincest Big Bang. Now that the Bang is over, it’s time to reflect on their experiences. So, Dreamer is along for the ride. Find Dreamer on tumblr, Discord (runawaydr3amerao3), and AO3 (runawaydr3amer).

Second to be taken to task is Kasey, with their Sam/Dean story “Scents of Home.”

You can read the fic on AO3 here. The glorious artwork by malefantasy has its own LiveJournal post here.
