Private-filtered post full of grumbling aside, I forgot to link this here last week:

Written for a prompt on comment_fic: Yami no Matsuei/Supernatural, Tsuzuki & Hisoka/Dean & Sam, "So let me get this straight. You're not a Reaper, you're a what exactly?"

NOTE: Contains some internal snarking about certain proclivities (I don't see Dean as a flat out homophobe, but per his tendency to be a jerk, I can see him being a little critical towards GLBT folks, so same would apply to his reaction to a pair of Dead Bi Detectives). Set during Season 3, when Dean was trying to dodge going to hell (and likely set during the winter hiatus due to the Writer's Strike; not that said hiatus caused a lacunae in the continuity, but it would be neat to know what happened to the Winchester Brothers during that gap of two months).

( "So you're like some kind of undead homicide detectives?" Sam asked. )
