publish all three chapters on 7/9?

publish the every few days with last chapter on 7/9 as a prelude to spntriangleweek?

publish first chapter on 7/9 and then each additional chapter day by day?

It's not terribly long but works best (i think) as chapters.

pairing: Castiel/Dean Winchester

THIS IS MY VOICEMAIL. MAKE YOUR VOICE… A MAIL.

Ruby|Amelia gets Sam hooked on demon blood again, dripping it into the (red) Gatorade she gives him while he fixes things around her apartment, and later, into the food she makes when they start living together.

That dog Sam hit? Hellhound.

Ruby’s goal is the Purgatory souls — she needs them to get Lucifer out of the cage, but she convinces Sam it’s to rescue Dean. He can handle all that power! Cas? Weak, but not Sam!

It works, and Dean and Cas get out along with a whole bunch of Leviathans. (Chuck was right about one thing: Leviathans are cool!)

Cas and Dean spend season 8 getting Sam out of her clutches, and eventually TFW gets back together to take down Ruby before she can release Lucifer from the cage.

And of course they foil her plans, but she becomes a series regular with a seven season long redemption arc.

(Critically, she get her old vessel back, and with Gen on the show, Jared doesn’t phone it in for the last few seasons and everybody wins.)
