paranormal, preternatural, and just plain weird. 

Sam and Dean are trying to keep their extended family under the radar and off the map.  But infighting between the transgenics and demonborne is threatening to rip the Clan apart from the inside...and who knows who is behind it. Sequel to Just Another Reason to Hate the Government.

This story follows the lives of Max and Alec during the siege and the development of their relationship. It is slightly AU as I have ignored the runes.

Spoilers: Takes place after Freak Nation. Some situations loosely based on events in book "Before the Dawn".

WARNING:  Please be advised that this story does deal with issues involving rape (due to heat) in Max's past. I do not go into graphic detail about everything that happened but certain sections of this story may still be triggery for those with sensitivities to this.

Takes place right after Love Among The Runes.  This is kind of AU since it doesn't match back up with FN, but ask me if I care.

A/N:  I had to take a brief break from 'In the Heat of Battle' to write this piece.  The bullet hole challenge just wouldn't leave me alone, so here's my answer.  Okay, so it's not really humour, but how about some smut instead?

This is a plot bunny that came from our loving admin Shay. It is posted on the E2RH forum under "Plot Bunnies". This one intrigued me, so I thought I'd give it a shot.

"Details: The challenge - Max wakes up in hospital and is told that the past ten years of her life were all just a figment of her twisted imagination. Will she learn to cope or will the pressure and uncertainty of what is real and what is not be too much for her fragile mind to handle and end up shattering her completely?"

I haven't fully decided if there is going to be an actual pairing or ship. However, I am certain there will be at least one rape scene between White and Max (later in the story). Only because it's part of the story. I'm not terribly fond of writing scenes of that nature, but once in a while, an author must stretch beyond their comfort zone.

Anyway, thank you Shay for the idea and encouragement. This is technically non-betaed, but I have re-read it several times and edited myself as best I could. If there are any errors, it's all my fault.

Continuation of my story "Collateral Damage" but can be read independently.
