    Summary

    These are the stories that made up the thesis for my PhD in Creative Writing which I achieved in December of 2009. The idea was to tell (or retell) the stories of (sometimes) famous women. Some of these stories are more successful than others, I think, but all of them are true.

    The title is taken from this poem by Adrienne Rich:

    Our story isn't a file of photographs
    faces laughing under green leaves
    or snowlit doorways, on the verge of driving
    away, our story is not about women
    victoriously perched on the one
    sunny day of the conference,
    nor lovers displaying love:

    Our story is of moments
    when even slow motion moved too fast
    for the shutter of the camera:
    words blew our lives apart, like so…

    And that's it, really. I never did anything with it and that's a shame, really, because some of these stories want to be read.

    That's all.
    I think that someone will remember us in another time.

    Summary

    In which Gabriel hexes Dean to speak in Shakespeare quotes in an attempt to make him 'fess up about his eternal and epic love for Castiel. Unfortunately for Gabriel's very cunning plan, it isn't actually Castiel that Dean's interested in...

    Summary

    "Indeed, my lord, he lent it me awhile; and I gave him use for it, a double heart for his single one: marry, once before he won it of me with false dice, therefore your grace may well say I have lost it."

    Summary

    The advantage of Gabriel having downloaded all of Shakespeare's plays into Dean's head is that Dean quoting Shakespeare is really hot. The disadvantage is that it makes an excellent excuse for them to actually talk even less.
    In which Sam goes "..." a lot, and Castiel sneaks.

     

    “Cas,” Sam hissed at the ceiling. “You gotta help me, man. I think the Apocalypse might be back on the rails.”
    Castiel whooshed into existence, blinking owlishly. “Sam. Why are you wearing cupcake footie pyjamas?”
    “Forget the pyjamas! Dean’s quoting Shakespeare. Willingly. I’m pretty sure that’s bigger than any Horseman.”
