Author's Summary:
Somebody-or something-is terrorising convents. Is it a religious loony, or is it a job for the Winchesters? Worse, Dean is convinced that somebody has put a chastity curse on him. And who is this mysterious woman who can bitchface (TM) Sam into submission, or throw Dean across a desk without breaking a sweat? (Not that he minds, usually, but hello, chastity curse...) COMPLETE

Review:
This fic is AMAZING! It's hilarious and clever and wonderfully well-written. I love the OC, Sister Felicity - she's just fantastic and really compelling and as a cop-turned-nun, she's very, very interesting. Also, while I guess some people would find her particular expressions of faith blasphemous, I actually really like and respect her kind of devotion in the sense that she's a work in progress but stronger in her faith for the struggle (even though, I have to admit, there are times when I caught myself thinking she's such a fantastic character that she's wasted as a nun - awful of me, I know). This really is a must read, especially since Supernatural canon has such a dearth of decent female characters. The first chapter is a bit slow (its more of a prologue, imo), but the story really takes off from the start of Chapter 2, so stick with it. This story seems to be written between Seasons 4 and 5 or possibly during Season 5 so no spoilers or canon knowledge required from canon after that point.

Author's Summary:
After surviving the demon attack in Colorado, Victor Henriksen has to learn to cope with the new realities of his life. When a case involving monsters ends up on his desk, he has to decide how to deal with it.

Review:
This is a really powerful fic that I'd love to see continued in a series. It's Henricksen, if he hadn't died in the massive demon attack just after finding out the truth about hunters and the supernatural. What I really like though, is that in contrast to Supernatural canon which is very big on non-humans being Always Chaotic Evil, this fic is very much about the shades of grey because Henricksen is still a law enforcement officer and definitely comes at hunting from the point of view that he can't just kill someone because they happen to be the wrong species in the general vicinity of a crime. So when Henricksen meets Lenore, who is always awesome btw, he's ready to accept her help and even defend her from the other hunter on the case on just his gut feeling and Dean's endorsement of her. It's nice to see Supernatural 'verse written that way.
