 Yay, the kamikazeremix fics have been revealed! So I can finally post mine in my archive and point you to it. The story I was assigned hinged heavily on the Sam/Dean slash element, with the actual case only hinted at. There were several directions I could have taken this: work out the case fic elements—either what happened before, or during the original story—, write an epilogue type story from Sam’s POV including hard slash, or re-tell from another POV than the original.

After some debating and toying with those ideas, I started leaning toward an outsider POV story, something I’ve been wanting to do for a while. But what really cinched it was this:

“Father Parelli kept fingering his collar as if it didn’t fit well and chafed him, while Father Jerrod jumped every time someone addressed him by name, giving the speaker a startled, guilty look, like he expected God to strike him down any second over some perceived sin.”

Once I had that, I had my angle. The rest was just juggling timelines and details, and far more researching of Catholic Mass than ever made it into the story.
