Thank you very much! I'm such a fan of steampunk in general, and I think the juxtaposition of watching Supernatural, thinking about steampunk and reading On The Road all at roughly the same time led me directly to this story. :D I actually started out using more season one canonical events when I started writing it, but realised quickly that if I didn't want a 300,000 word story, I needed to create a more direct route to the ending!

(And Jess's laser gun was totally one of my favourite things to work in too. XD)
