Fic: Cry Wolf (Adult)

TITLE: Cry Wolf
SERIES: Cry Wolf can be considered a sequel to my SPN fic Family Values but it's not necessary to read that first.
RATING: Adults Only
FANDOM: The Sentinel/Supernatural Crossover
CATEGORY: Crossover, Horror...see story notes.
PAIRINGS: Jim/Blair, Dean/Sam, Dean/OFC
SUMMARY: In a small town in the Cascade Mountains, people are dying, bodies found mauled by some kind of beast. The Winchesters think it's a werewolf and plan to hunt it. Ex-cop Jim Ellison and his partner Blair are also hunting the creature. The four are uneasy allies, but Jim's suspicions of the brothers uncover the secrets of their past.
WARNINGS: Some horror scenes. There's also one scene that I'd class as dubious consent rather than as rape, but it's down to interpretation. If such things bother you and you want to know more before reading, feel free to ask me.
STORY NOTES: The story is a crossover between The Sentinel and Supernatural. Unlike my last crossover fic I'm trying hard to make this one about half-and-half. I believe you should be able to follow the story if you only know one of the two shows.

Why? Because at first sight these two shows don't have enough in common for a crossover, but I wanted to see how it would work. I wanted to see how the by-the-book cop Jim Ellison would deal with Dean's casual impersonations and fake ID's. Because I wanted to see Sam and Blair geek-out together. Because it's fun. Because I wondered how Sam and Dean would interpret Jim's apparently psychic ability. And lots of other maybes, too. There was a lot I wanted to do with this crossover but I did have to pick-and-choose. I hope you'll think I've done a good job of merging the two worlds.

Timeline: The story is set in the present, at the end of Winter 2005/6. In terms of Sentinel canon, this is several years after the final episode so the timing isn't too important, except in that it's post-TSbBS (obviously). In terms of Supernatural canon, I am aware that the time of year doesn't fit. The story is set during season one, after Nightmare but before Shadow, which ought to place it during the Summer of 2006. I didn't realise that when I started writing this story (the snow in Route 666 kinda threw me off), and the Winter setting is integral to my story, so I'm stuck with the anomoly. If it helps, consider the fic AU in the SPN universe.

Credits: The title and opening quote come from the song Cry Wolf, by A-ha. The song doesn't really have anything to do with the story, I just mention it for anyone interested. Panther Creek is a genuine location in the Cascade Mountains, north Washington. Whether there's really a town with that name, I don't know, but the name was too damn perfect for me not to use it, as I'm sure any Sentinel fan will agree! The song lyrics quoted in Part One are from Building A Mystery by Sarah McLaughan.

DISCLAIMER: Does anyone seriously believe I might own Sentinel or Supernatural? Thought not.
