Summary: Blow out the candles and cut your cake, happy birthday sang the wraiths.
Dean and Sam stop in a small town for the night and find out January 24 in Flickerston isn't a day to celebrate birthdays. In a town full of vengeance centered around that particular day, Sam finds himself alone when wraiths come for Dean. Wraiths are vengeance, Dean died on Sam's birthday, Sam wants vengeance. On a hunt to save his brother's soul Sam is again confronted with knowing reality from illusion and desperately hangs onto his own sanity.
Tricksters don't care about wraiths and one in particular doesn't even believe they are out and about. Tricksters want chaos and mayhem for entertainment. This Trickster has a shiny new toy, a young man with a power he doesn't understand and can't control. A young man by the name of Sam Winchester. What Sam does have is his brother who is constantly and annoyingly between the Trickster and his prize. The Trickster finds keeping control of Sam and getting Dean out of the way is more of a challenge than he first thought.

Betas: Many, many thanks to Vanessa,
Terry did the most amazing job with the art. Not only did she create specacular posters for each and every part, but she managed to capture not only the overall story, but theme of each part. When I lined the posters up in order, I saw my story come alive and retold in her posters. I don't have enough words to express my gratitude for her hard work and tremendous talent. Thank you! Even if you don't read the story, please, please go look at her art.
This was my Big Bang 09 fic entry.
