Why this must be read: Because sometimes a sentinel deserves to have some fun with his senses, and a demon chaser deserves a day off.

It’s several years past the show’s end and Blair’s a cop. He and Jim have settled in a comfortable relationship on and off the job. Just before the holiday season, Jim’s aunt calls to ask if they would like to attend an apple festival held in her small town. She’s hoping to persuade Jim to be one of the judges for the apple pie contest.

In the meantime, Dean Winchester is on the hunt. It’s two years after Sam has given up the family business and gone to Stanford, so Dean is alone in his quest. After completing his graveyard task, he’s on the road again but stops to help a young woman with car trouble. It turns out she’s from the same little town as Jim’s Aunt Helen. They hit it off and she, coincidentally, asks Dean if he’d be willing to be an apple pie judge at the festival.


This was written for the Moonridge Auction and also for the 2011 Big Bang challenge, so it has some lovely artwork as a bonus for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy.

Hmmmm, interesting! I've never watched SPN but this was a fun story. And I can easily visualise Jim in his judging role. A nice day off for the sense, as you say!

I've only seen an episode or two, but I had no trouble understanding the story or the character, which is always a plus for me in a crossover. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting.

Hi magician;-)
I've had a few kudos for Apple Pie on AO3 in the last couple of weeks, and your crackvan listing explains why.
Thank you so much for the recommendation!

You are so welcome. I'm a sucker for a good slice-of-life story and this definitely fits the bill. Since I've spent the last two weeks picking apples and making pies, it was especially entertaining.

Thank you for reading and reviewing Apple Pie and Chevrolet. Glad you liked it! I got a few friends of mine hooked on Supernatural after describing it as the best partnership show since The Sentinel. There are DVDs of the first seven(!) seasons available and the 8th season is currently on CW, if you're interested;-)

Thanks for the info on SPN. Not sure if I can manage to embrace yet another fandom :0 but it's good to know that if I feel able, I know that people whose views I respect already recommend it. :))
Thanks for the tips!
