This is from "The Apotheosis of Sam Winchester" (working title) -- aka 'the six months Sam Winchester spent in Jotunheim in the hall of the werewolf king playing security blanket to a traumatized archangel'. It's going to have a lot of Norse culture and some Indo-European magic in it -- I've been reading The Horse, The Wheel, and Language which really makes you notice the commonalities across European and Indo-Iranian religion, like the importance of *chariots* as a metaphor for godly power.
( Sam awoke the next day covered to the neck in feathers again. Gabriel tended to cling asleep, and had entirely too many limbs to lay over Sam when he was. )
I'm a little surprised that Fenrir has apparently turned out to be a *Huffelpuff* of all things. And while I had planned to have Kali be the one who freed him from his imprisonment, I think now it might have been Sigyn freeing her step-son. As an Ásynjur, she could get to the island that he was trapped on, where a mortal or a Jotun couldn't. And she certainly has a reason -- in the form of two dead sons -- to want to make things difficult for her extended kin.
