Author's Notes: I've been nervous about posting this story here, wondering whether it'd fit the community profile. But in the latest chapter I had Sam badly hurt again—second or third time so far, and that's without all the angst—and in light of the fact that this won't be the last time, either, I decided that some of you might enjoy reading this after all. It's already become a monster of a fic, with some ten chapters left until it's completed. It starts from after 8.09 'Citizen Fang' and goes AU from there. I'm writing it so that as long as you're familiar with one of the shows you should be able to follow. Thank you to those of you who give it a go and I hope you enjoy!
