Author: peanutbutterandbananasandwichs Artist: winchesterchola Title: Steps Toward the Water Rating:  G Relationship:  mentions of Sam/Jess Wordcount: 16,199

Summary: Winter has come early bringing with it the biting chill of the years first frost, there is the hum of electricity in the air and people are going missing. Sam dreams of Jess and faces in the ice. When a young woman named Liz disappears Sam is certain there’s more to the case than first appears, whilst Dean is drawn in by tales of people vanishing on the shores of Coldwater lake, strange wordless songs and a woman standing out on the frozen water. It will take all of Sam’s cleverness, bravery and perhaps just a smidgen of psychic ability for him to be able to piece together the cases and bring a lost soul to rest.
