The Other Side of the Tracks
Introduction
Hello avid readers and slash-fic fans everywhere! I normally don't do introductions to my stories but I feel it is justified in this case. I genuinely love and enjoy Supernatural, the show of course. I don't own it, its characters, or its plot. Having said that, I truly think it's interesting and the characters I love to death. The relationships developed in Supernatural are intrinsically interesting to me primarily because they represent bonds that everyone the world over wishes they could share. The mythologies are awesome, the different methods shown throughout the show of dispatching the supernatural creatures, and the fact that the characters aren't invincible and actually take a beating from time to time (And they all die a lot. I mean, seriously! Dean has kicked it about 100 times, Sam about 5-8, Bobby even has his fair share!).
Having said the above, I hope these readers will understand that the development of my character, Emily, did not take place lightly. It's difficult to insert my character into the plot because the plot is generally very tight knit. I attempt to change very little of the storyline in respect to the brother but this is her story, not theirs. Otherwise it would be 'The Same Side of the Tracks'. The development of the character went through many phases as the seasons developed. In the way John was always a few steps ahead of the game, as is Emily. With more knowledge, insight, and experience, Emily represents a character that is primarily solitary, only existing in the brother's world for sporadic moments until later seasons.
I won't give any background to the character, since I sincerely hope that, despite how convoluted the history is, I can convey it all in a time-appropriate manner. However, it is pretty important that I mention that her name isn't ONLY Emily. Having lived for as long as she has, she has had a multitude of names, all of which she can recite and state their origin. If she is identified by a different name, it could only mean that she is under an alias, as she changes her names between human life spans.
Also crucial to this story, I want readers to enter with the knowledge that she is NOT a romantic partner for either of the brothers, acting as the kind of sister they never wanted. Following the episode layout, her separate hunts will still be described under the title of the episode. So long as there are Supernatural episodes, so will there be chapters about Emily. In later seasons, the end of season two particularly, she slowly becomes more involved, becoming a full-fledged member of the Winchester squad by season four. Until then, it will be a bit slow but, if you don't mind, bear with me. There simply aren't enough smartass, badass females out there.
Finally, I would like to say that I will take artistic liberties. Inserting new scenes and episodes as well as chronicling her activities in episodes where she isn't with the brothers. Welcome to the Emily Show! Pleasant readings!
