  • Ramble On Podfic - 9/10ths of the Law
    Jan 16 2026

    Podfic Narration Time – “9/10ths of the Law” by jinkieswouldyoulookatthis

    Jackie (jinkieswouldyoulookatthis) found two moments to parallel in the entangled lives of Sam and Dean and showcased them brilliantly in this fic. It’s DemonDean at his best, and worst, all at once?

    I hope she and other listeners enjoy my take on her tale. And don’t forget to visit the fic and kudos and comment away!

    Dean Winchester/Sam Winchester | Gencest

    Summary:

    Sam was dying… fast.

    Dean was surprised by how much guilt he was actually feeling about that. He didn’t want Sam dead, even now. He just wanted Sam to let him go and for Sam to go live his actual life, away from Dean and all of his ish. But now Sam was bleeding out on the dirty pavement of some stinking back alley behind a no name dive bar that only had shitty beer on tap.

    What's a demon supposed to do?
