The Road So Far…
?
?
Forty years ago one grief filled night led to a deal being made that would change a family’s destiny in ways no one could have foreseen. A decade later the yellow-eyed man came for a midnight visit to the nursery of a six month old Sam Winchester whose mother would breathe her last agonized breath pinned to the ceiling above his crib. The loss of whom transformed a once doting father into a drill sergeant obsessed with finding the?‘迟丑颈苍驳’?that killed the love of his life.
?
From that night on his two sons were raised like warriors without ever having a place to call home as they were dragged from one town to the next as he relentlessly searched for what killed their mother. While the eldest of his two sons embraced the life of a hunter, the younger brother craved a normal life something which led to his running off to Stanford University where for a short time he had that with a young woman named Jessica Moore who he planned to propose to. But someone had other plans for Sam, ones that involved him returning to the life of a hunter, and so, her life came to a tragic end one that mirrored the death of his mother more than twenty years ago.
?
However, the Winchesters weren’t the only ones with?‘the family business’?as she had come from a similar background?(one that would provide a grief-stricken mother with the means of bringing an end to the heartache). Within days of the funeral, Amelia Moore paid a midnight visit to the crossroads…this decision quickly became a source of some conflict among family and friends though not quite as much as uncovering the truth about her daughter’s death had.
?
It took some time for the Moore family to return to life as it once was though obviously it took serious convincing to persuade Jessica that reuniting with her former love would be a bad idea under the circumstances. Meanwhile out of a desperation for revenge her ex-boyfriend went back to life on the road with his older brother on a quest to find their missing father who both believed held the key to finding the one responsible for the deaths of two loved ones.
?
However, the hunt for?‘old yellow eyes’?took a tragic turn once they finally managed to catch up with him as the confrontation ended with one life hanging in the balance. It was this precarious situation that pushed a desperate father to give up the only weapon which could be used against the very one whose actions sent him down this path. Without a word to his youngest son, John Winchester went down into the basement of the hospital where he summoned?‘the yellow eyed son of a bitch’?with whom he struck a deal to save the life of his eldest son.?
?
His sacrifice one that allowed his boys to continue the?‘family business’?finishing what he started, though no one could have predicted the twists and turns their journey would take. Just when things were starting to seem even more hopeless when it came to finding and killing?‘old yellow eyes’?the brothers began receiving help from a mysterious woman whose weapon of choice was a strange knife capable of killing demons.
?
But until the night when Azazel sent one of his ‘special children’ into an old cemetery, the Winchesters hadn’t known about her being a demon to them she had simply been another hunter whom they added to their short list of allies. She was forced into revealing that part of her identity when she couldn’t accompany the small band of hunters thanks to a rather large devil’s trap formed by the iron railroad tracks which crossed property, but that would hardly be their biggest problem as they soon discovered why the dual nature of The Colt as it also served as a key which opened the devil’s gate found at the heart of the old cemetery. A couple hundred demons escaped from hell during the brief amount of time it took to close the gate and during the commotion?‘old yellow eyes’?managed to give them the slip.
?
The events of that night set things in motion, starting with who was among those given a?‘get out of jail free’?card, Eve, the?*very*?first demon in existence. For the next five years finding a way of keeping his brother from going to hell would become something of an obsession for Sam despite Dean’s insistence that they focus all their energy on finding the?‘yellow eyed son of a bitch’?who killed their parents and Jessica and doing the same to him.?
?
On the night his bill came due things could have played out a bit differently had the Winchesters done as Ruby suggested instead of stubbornly insisting on doing things as their father would have done. His grisly demise might very well have been avoided had Dean allowed his?‘little brother’?to learn how to use his?‘god given’?powers to put an end to Eve once and for all.
?
During the months that followed, Sam must have tried a couple dozen times to strike a deal at the crossroads, though not a single demon was willing to accept his offer. One even going so far as to inform him they had everything exactly where they wanted it. Which, of course, lead to a good old fashioned?‘kill the messenger’?moment. When his last attempt failed he went back on the road, reluctantly agreeing to allow Jo Harvelle to accompany him on his single-minded mission of revenge. But he would later admit that if hadn’t been for her and a certain?‘fallen angel’?who continued offering her assistance knocking some sense into him that self-destruction would have been his downfall.
?
Though a few months down the road the two hunters lost a certain?‘ace up their sleeve’?when Gordon Walker return to a newly reconstructed roadhouse and discovered a demon in their midst. He along with a few of his buddies set a trap, one that resulted in her death though it would not be quick considering the previously mentioned hunter’s desire to get in a few hours of torture first. During which he’d called Sam, who was none too pleased to hear what was going on, but unfortunately he and Jo arrived too late.
?
Soon after a fight broke out, one that ended with the recovery of Ruby’s knife and phone call being placed to the local authorities who arrived on the scene to discover what appeared to be the death of an innocent young woman at the hands of some?‘satanic cult’. Upon further examination of the crime scene they found evidence left behind to steer them towards her killers.
?
Almost six months later the hunters were at the roadhouse when a young woman named Jenica Dracul came walking through the door. Thanks to one long conversation had in the first few months following the death of his brother, Sam remembered that having been the name mentioned when Ruby had talked about who she was before going to hell.

Our story picks up with two years having gone by since the death of Dean Winchester, on the day of his resurrection. We will be using each series as a reference guide, picking and choosing which events we wish to play out here in ‘At The Crossroads’. Some aspects from The Vampire Diaries will be incorporated?(not its characters though)?given I prefer their take on vampires, witches, and werewolves to that of Supernatural.?
?
Essentially our game is the beginning of Sleepy Hollow?(first episode)?and a rather?AU?season nine of Supernatural.
