Title: The Black Queen
Author: Gil Grissom
Summary: Hotchner and his team go to Seattle to recruit a hacker and Aaron gets far more than he bargained for.
*Note: Make sure to let the author’s know that you appreciate the story – even if it’s a simple ‘I liked it’
Demons & Angels is considered one of the nexus stories in the Sylum Universe, outside the Main Arcs.
This story is one of the biggest and most influential turning points in the series. It sets up: new characters, relationships, and future storyline.
It’s also takes place within 12 hours, and introduces two major characters who have, and will continue, to influence Sylum.
Patrick McKenna
Ernesto Olivetti
Ernesto’s story continues in Roads Untraveled …. leading to the introduction of Andrew Kiernan and Pius XVII, further characters who have become beloved over time.
Due to the recent Sylum headcanon changes concerning Sam Winchester now being Theo … no longer Meridia … both these stories needed to be looked at. They were already on the ‘need to look at’ list considering changes in Canon from the 10th Anniversary Clan War Edition.
We were going to wait until Clan War was finished, but the latest chapter has been a pain in the ass for a while so we took a break and focused on these two.
And we all know how Ernesto gets when he wants attention!
There weren’t a lot of changes, subtle moments that enhanced an already amazing story and small threads of things to come. For those who’ve read this story more than once – see if you can find the differences.
I can’t say how much I love this story, enough.
No seriously.
It’s one of those stories you catch yourself while reading, going – what happens next? Even though you know what happens next. It’s beautifully written, the characters are engaging, and it makes you want to just curl up with a cup of tea and keep reading.
I can’t even watch the movie anymore … well I can but I stop at Fire … cause I just refuse to watch the WTF ending. Dan Brown should be shot for the ‘oh my god lets shock you with the most shocking of shocking endings cause you didn’t see that shocking conclusion’. We didn’t see it coming because it was STUPID!
Sorry – small rant there.
I thank the movie for two things: Ewan McGregor in a cassock, and introducing me to Pierefrancesco Favino.
So back to the the reason for this post.
The Re-Posting of Demons & Angels! Yes it’s been updated, edited, and uploaded to the Sylum Archive!
If you haven’t read it – you should.
If you’ve already read it – read it again.
Special Note to Timothy Quinn
Thanks for the work you do with Sylum, for helping corral the Bobs, for your insight, talent, 50,000 word vocabulary, editing skills, and just the fact you chose me to be with. *sappy moment is sappy*
Thank you for this.
Thank you for one of my favorite stories of all time, one that surpasses All Quiet on the Western Front and Tom Sawyer.
Now Everyone Go Read!!

Recently I was on the phone talking with a friend, and in mist of the conversation, old opportunities came up. It brought up how different life would be if these opportunities were taken.
The one that stuck in my mind the most was an opportunity for me to take a job across the country. This would’ve changed my life drastically. I would’ve been away from family and anything I knew. They didn’t want to pay my asking price or relocation, so I turned it down. I ended up joining a Yahoo Group soon after that, and started writing some of my first fanfic – which will never see the light of day EVER! *shifty look* Six months later I met the Ex, who introduced me to CSI … a year and half later – Lost Son was aired.
The say the rest is history.
Because of Sylum I’ve met some of the most amazing people. Made some awesome friends. Had grand gathering adventures. But the most important thing Sylum brought me was my soulmate, who I married.
Sylum has given me the opportunity to write in ways I never felt possible, to the now wonderful adventure of being published, something I never would’ve thought possible all those years ago.
I look at my life and despite the drama, the trauma, and the what the actual fucks – I wouldn’t change it for anything.
So thinking back onto that moment fifteen years ago … I’m thankful I didn’t take that road. Because I really don’t want to think about the what if – Sylum had never been born.
And with that. I send my thanks to all those that have followed this road with me. I send my love to those who have touched my life – you know who you are. And most importantly I can never thank God enough for bringing my spouse into my life.

As this bunny has decided to be front and center *kicks the POI to the side – You’ve done enough damage!* – figured be good Throwback Thursday to the original series. Not that a lot of it will change, it’s just getting upgraded and added story elements that we now have for that time period. *cough* Kenway *cough*

Author’s Note: The third Westen story will be coming out during Advent, it would be a very good idea to read The Death of Michael Westen and this one, to catch up. There were slight adjustments in each to bring up to date with some storyline.

Title: The Death of Michael Westen
Author: Bj Jones
Summary: My name is Michael Westen. I used to be a spy.
Author’s Note: This was the first story in the Westen Series. As Seven Days is coming up, the third chapter to the series will be published. It would be good to take a second look at this one. There have been subtle changes to fit the expanding storyline.

It’s been a while since we’ve done a Throwback Thursday. You’re going to see a few of these pop up in the next few weeks to prep you for stories coming out during Seven Days of Summer.
For today’s Throwback Thursday – we’re honoring those who have died serving their country.

Figured since the Sylum Inspiration has been Caesars and we haven’t done a Throwback Thursday in a while – we’ll take a look at when the hotel was being built and when it opened.
I’ve always loved Zorro. So when Sylum was being built he was one of the first ones add. He was also one of the first ones killed. There are people who still haven’t forgiven me for that.
Ahh but do not worry – there will be more from Zorro.
I’ve loved McCoy since he appeared on Law & Order a long time ago …. And knew when building Sylum that he had to be their lawyer. He excels at giving people ‘seriously I have no fucks to give you so stop lying to me’
Gabriel Van HelsingNico’s Lead Hunter and all around bad ass. He was one of the original guys I picked from the beginning of Sylum to be a Hunter. His back history grew and changed over the years, but he’s still a bad ass.
