I'm not quite *plotting* on the 'Four Vessels in a Car' fic, but more like in the pre-planning stages. I know that the story is post-Apocalypse, and at least one of the subplots is Sam and Dean trying to figure out just *what* happened, since they don't really remember much -- but another subplot is the two of them trying to figure out what the heck they do *after* the End of the World, because really, 'can kill monsters' and 'spent three months possessed by the Devil' are hardly entries you want on your CV unless you're actually trying to get hired by the Ghostbusters...
On the other hand, I've found an interesting site called Hurstwic which has some really nice photos of reconstructed Norse longhouses, both interiors and exteriors, so the subplot/prologue about how Gabriel came to be walking around in a 10th century hay-farmer is proceeding apace. It's got trolls, curses, a witch or two, and a very snarky protagonist -- oh, and a runaway archangel trying to be persuasive and not quite succeeding because he hasn't actually paid attention to humans that much before...
Since I started plotting this in the hiatus after episode 5.14 ( My Bloody Valentine )Also, I'm thinking that all the Vessels come out of this with some degree of psychic perception -- Sam, who started the series with precognitive dreams, would be the worst effected, and Dean would be in denial over whatever he did wind up with, with Jimmy and Hrafn somewhere inbetween the two with how accepting they are of the newly ripped open abilities and how well they manage them. Maybe a lot of people get 'inklings' in the post-Apocalypse, since divine/demonic power kind of splattered around randomly, and its not that big a thing? Or, not a big a thing as it could be, considering most humans weren't psychic before the End of World that Wasn't...
