Movie Prompt: El Dorado
Pairing: Gen (brief background John/Ellen)
Rating: PG
Word Count: ~23,000
Summary: The only thing standing between carpetbagger Dick Roman and the water rights owned by widowed rancher Jody Mills is the law, in the persons of Sheriff Bobby Singer and Deputy Rufus Turner. Gunslinger John Winchester's already refused to fight his old friends for Roman once. Now, six months later, Roman's used a honey trap to push Bobby into alcoholic despair, and one of the deadliest gunmen in Texas is on his way to El Dorado to help Roman force Jody to capitulate before Bobby sobers up.
At least, that's how the situation looks from the outside.
But in El Dorado, nothing is as it seems. And when a chance meeting on the border reunites John with his sons and brings him news of Roman's plan, the race is on to free Bobby from a hellish curse and to stop demons and Leviathans from taking over the town... to say nothing of the secrets Sam and John are carrying that could be their undoing.
Notes: Inspired bycassiopeia7's entry for the last genre challenge. Warning for Hollywood physics and do-NOT-try-this-at-home Hollywood medicine, both of which were too integral to the plot to leave out.
( Ride, boldly ride, / To the end of the rainbow.... )
