Warnings: Temporary character death, angst
A/N: Written for spn_reversebang's 2012 round. Massive kudos and thank yous to the lovely and talented becc_j with whom I had the pleasure and honour to collaborate this round. I loved her prompt from the moment I saw/heard it; it was gorgeous and intriguing and gave me the opportunity to work with three things I love: J2, Greek mythology and Spirited Away. A million thank yous, my dear - it's been an absolute delight working with you! Go check out her fantastic art post and tell her how amazing she is! This story is influenced by both the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice and the Studio Ghibli film Spirited Away. It is not necessary to have knowledge of either to read this.


Summary:“Great,” Jensen muttered. “I’m going into the Underworld to get my best friend's soul back armed with the power of song. How could that possibly go wrong?” A modern myth.

becc_j and I considered having a bittersweet ending, but I'm a big schmoop and happy endings are always better. Luckily, the joy of artistic license is that we didn't need to follow the myth that closely. ^_^

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed!
