Summary: Written for ladiesbigbang: Jessica loved cheesy horror movies and ghost stories, but she didn't believe in any of it. They were college kids, having fun on a summer vacation. All that talk about the house being haunted was just joking around. When one of her friends had a frightening accident, it didn't seem so funny any more. And just why did Jessica's brand-new boyfriend, Sam, insist on buying so much salt?
Disclaimer: Supernatural belongs to Eric Kripke et. al. But they left Jessica in a refrigerator, so I figure it's only fair I let her out and give her a story of her own.

For anyone interested, I also have a commentary on the story posted in my journal.

Title: Reap The Whirlwind
Author: Morgan Briarwood / briarwood
Fandom: Supernatural
Genre: Het, AU
Pairing: Sam/Jessica, Dean/Jo
Rating: Adult
Warnings: Story features non-graphic references to rape and child abuse.

Summary: Doctor Sam Grey (once Sam Winchester) is a dreamwalker, and the most powerful psychic in the country. Called back to the Psi Project to investigate a mysterious epidemic of night terrors among the students, Sam discovers not a malicious psychic but a malevolent spirit. Sam calls on the one person he knows is an expert in such things: his brother Dean. But Sam has seriously underestimated the danger and when Dean is badly injured it looks like the solution is up to him after all.

Notes: Reap The Whirlwind is set in an alternate universe, and in the future (2019). Sam is not a hunter. He and Jess are both 36, Dean is 40, Jo is 35 and has been hunting for a long time, so she's a rather different character from the Jo of canon. Also in this 'verse the named demons we know in canon don't exist: there are demons but no YED, no Lilith and no Alastair. Dean's had a tough life but he's never been to Hell. Mary Winchester was killed by a (human) pyrokinetic. Other supernatural nasties: ghosts, werewolves, vampires etc. exist as in SPN canon.

This is a stand-alone story, but set in the same 'verse as my earlier fic Dreamwalker. It is not necessary to read Dreamwalker first, but as this is an AU 'verse there's a quick primer under the cut. You don't really need to read it: all the relevant info is in the story. But it's there for those who want it.

Lastly, a huge thank you quiet_rebel for the lovely artwork.
