#yes - long ago - the same night those men died at the Alamo - Samuel Colt made a gun #but do you think it was the only gun he ever made? #do you think he was the only one who knew how to beat spellwork into metal how to mix cleansing into gunpowder? #there’s a gun without a name #less storied than the Colt; perhaps because it’s less powerful; perhaps because its master knows how to keep a silence #its builder is forgotten (though the name of her husband might be familiar still) #but it was she who made it not the man whose name she took #and she made it for a friend in a long lace skirt and sturdy boots #and this gun cannot kill anything #and it cannot even kill anything but archangels #but this gun? this gun will never fail you #this gun will manage what you need or close enough #this gun has saved more people than Samuel Colt’s masterpiece ever did #and this gun has been handed down mother to daughter with very few sons in the interim #and many of those sons have been true bastards and every single one their mother’s boy #in another world Jo Harvelle might have used this nameless gun to soothe her mother’s nightmares #in another world Dean Winchester might have held this gun as his mother taught him #in another world Jessica Moore might have dug this gun out of a grave and stood beside the man who should have been her brother-in-law #and she might have used this gun to avenge a loose-haired lawyer burned to ash (for failures are always thrown away) #and in another world Anna Milton might have traced this gun down rather than search for her grace #and in another world Bela Talbot might have sold every scrap of gold in reach to find this gun and fight a hellhound off #and in another world Tamara might have hid this gun in her boot and never told her husband of it until she saved him with a shot #and in another world and in another world and in another world (via saltgunandsparks)
