Author’s Notes: Not my characters, only my words. Written for

spn_j2_bigbang 2015, thank you to the wonderful

wendy who's kept us all writing and arting together all these years. Title and opening lyric quote from a song titled “Lion’s Mane,” by Iron & Wine, which you should absolutely listen to. Great thanks and choruses of adulation go to my splendid beta,

amypond45 for her efforts in helping corral my love of excess commas. Please go check out the wonderful art that

uh_tiramisu created to accompany the story.
