Title: The Things We Carry With Us
Author: lovesrain44
Story Rating: PG
Genre: Slash
Word Count: 47, 654
Pairing: Sam/Dean
Warnings: Angst, emo, h/c, incest, terrible weather, touristy local tidbits, and far too many descriptions about food.
Summary: Sam and Dean are on the road, saving people and hunting things, like they always do. Dean discovers that Sam is attempting to turn himself into a monk, and so he does his best to get Sam laid. Sam resists because, of course, who needs to have sex with a girl when Dean’s around? It's about going on a roadtrip with your brother. It's about the food you eat, and the maps you follow. It's about the things you carry with you. (Takes place some time after Heart.)

The Art:

My artist was radishface , however, there is no master art post. I put the art in my story to use as illustrations.

Then, I got a wild hair and created my own story banner:



And then I created this one, too, because one is never enough.

thank you, i enjoyed the story...any chance though for a pdf? i cant really work with the above formats...anyway, Thanks for sharing :)

I'm a bit curious as to why HTML and RTF won't work on your computer? I've never heard this before. Normally PDFs are the format that give people trouble when viewing.

i dont read in html because frankly i dont know how to safe it. it is probably quite simple but i havent figured it out. and rtf is a different format when it comes to WORD or something like that. i've had it before that i cannot open it on every computer because the format wont get recognized. the only format i use and dont have any problems with is pdf because it works ever where :)

[amalthia]

You read the HTML via your browser so I guess it's as safe as your browser is safe. I made the HTML file myself and I use Firefox. If there was something wrong with the file my browser would have alerted me. I don't insert ads or spam into the single file html websites I make. If that's what you meant by safe.

RTF is the default format Wordpad on Windows operating system reads. The reason it's so popular is because it's an open format that every word processing program can read.

I'm not sure what operating system you're using but if you can't double click an RTF file and it opens automatically in Open Office, Microsoft Word, Atlantis, or Wordpad. I think there is something wrong with your computer. Not sure what comes with Macs thought...I'm now kind of thinking maybe you're using a Mac computer.

For PDFs to open you actually have to have Adobe Reader installed on your computer or Foxit Reader. There is no built in pdf view on every operating system. (at least not that I've heard of)

thanks for explaining. like i said, i am not ruling out technical stupidity on my part. i only ever use pdfs because they are the things that work for sure... thanks again :)

p.s. just re-read

I'm wondering now if when you wrote, "i dont know how to safe it" you meant you don't know how safe it is, or you don't know how to save the file.

To save HTML files that are open in a browser you need to go to the top of the browser where it says File and if you use Firefox select the option Save Page As and it'll open a save box where you select where you'd like to save the story. In Explorer it's similar. I'm not sure how Opera, Safari, or the google browser works though...But it should be in the same location.

thanks. i still dont use html...but it is good to know, just in case.

Sorry to butt in months later, but I thought you might like to know another method. What I do with a fic in html format is just open it and then press Ctrl + A, which highlights all the text on the page. Then I Copy what I've highlighted and Paste it into a word processor (usually Notepad, but you can use anything) and then save it to read later. Hopefully that's helpful for the future ^^

Good to know! Thank you :)

The amazing Amothea has created a pdf version, which I've now included. Let us know if you have any problems with it, okay?

[kuhekabir.livejournal.com]
