Becomes a Monster by runedgirl

Summary: Sam's “normal” life dissolves when his brother mysteriously returns from the dead. But when Dean came back, Benny the vampire wasn’t the only thing that came back with him. Now Sam is in a race against time to save his brother. This is one race that Sam refuses to lose.

Here's my(edited) comment to the story: What a fantastic spin on season eight--a season I loved, by the way, so this just makes everything better. I have an insane love of messed up Dean and protective Sam. You have a wonderful way with Sam, the way you write him makes me feel like I'm inside his head, looking out at Dean through his eyes and just really getting what it is that drives the both of them.

This story is clever and twisty and once you start reading it, you won;t be able to stop. runedgirl is one of my favorite authors, one of those writers that when you see her name, you jump on it because that's all you need.

I couldn't agree with you more. This was an amzing story. I especially liked her use of Benny, but you know how much I loved Benny in canon. I also liked her use of Amelia. This was a woman I could actually see Sam with.

Have you read "the beat of our Noisy Hearts" by cleflink?

OMG, YES!

That was my next rec--it was AMAZING!!

I loved that story so much and the artwork! What a perfect matchup, right?

By the end of that story, I was convinced heart menders were real. It was the perfect fairytale. Oh,and can we talk about petite-madame. How are people that talented. I am a huge fan of hers. Her comic the Winchester Atomicae is breath taking.

I know! She made it seem so possible, like when you were a little kid and you just knew that if you wished hard enough, really tried, you'd be able to float, if not fly.

Petite-madame is a dang *genius*!! Art so good it is mind-boggling and she kicked it in the ass for this fic!

I loved this story so much I can't even say (as I do all her work). I so wish season eight had gone just this way!

Right? I adore her work! Fanfiction--we can go where the writers can't and beautiful stories are born! :)
