Dragon_fall's Giant Fic List
This is the master posting for all the fics I've written to date, and will be updated (hopefully) regularly enough to keep my head from blowing up.

My first new post in years and it is, of course, Harry Potter related
If you didn't know, I'm a Potter fan. Saw the first movie and fell in love. So, after years of ignoring it, I finally signed up for Pottermore, which was kinda cool. Got to get a wand (dogwood with phoenix feather core, 11 3/4 inches, hard), walk around Diagon for a bit, then off to Hogwarts.
Then I got Sorted.

Fic: Jumping On The Crazy Train 4/4 (Supernatural / Sandman Xover)
Title: Jumping On The Crazy Train
Author: Dragon_fall
Word Count: 7,513
Fandom: Supernatural / Sandman (Neil Gaiman)
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Spoilers for all seasons, but if you've seen at least through Season 4 you should be all right
Summary: It was supposed to be a normal hunt: just a few werewolves kicking up dust in southern Illinois. Instead he had to deal with... well, when Dean figured that out he'd get back to you. One thing was certain, though: this was the last time he let Sam play Captain Save-A-Ho. The absolute last time.

Why can't I cook red meat?
Beef is my enemy.
I have tried, for years, to cook beef. I've tried steaks, roasts, london broil, sirloin, ribs, you name it. Everything, no matter what, comes out dry and tough. I have followed recipes to the letter, even down to getting the exact same poundage of meat, and it is always the same.
I don't have problems with any other meat. Hell, I can even make a juicy turkey, and that seems like something most people can't do. Pork, no problems. Chicken is a breeze. I even had an unusual amount of luck with more exotic meats like bison (which is heavenly). But plain old beef from a cow? No luck.
Ever.
I've tried basting and not basting. Fat side up and down, covering with bacon or fatback. Dry, wet, grilling...nothing works. I've braised a ten pound pork shoulder before, and that came out perfect, but the ability to cook beef eludes me.
The only time I have been able to make beef fall apart tender is when I make stew, and it's hard for the meat to get tough when it's been slow cooked for six hours in liquid. Is there some great lesson to be learned from this? Is there somethng I'm just missing here? My mother could cook a steak so tender you could cut it with a butter knife, but me... no. Just no.
