Hi - I am looking for a specific two-part cross-over with American Gods inspired by Dean's Amulet. I have checked the recs and stories found on this site so far and I don't see this story listed. I vaguely remember that it was at the time I read it' 3 years ago some sort of contest submission and the only Supernatural story the author had written. Things I remember about the story:
1) The Trickster (as played by Richard Speight) was manipulating events to test out a theory,
2) the Trickster is talking to Mr Nancy.
3) The Trickster had absorbed into himself so many Trickster Gods that he was not any one in particular but was becoming an Archetype and Mr Nancy was cautious of him possibly absorbing Anansi as well
4)the theory that the Trickster was testing was whether or not Dean was an Avatar
5)Though I think never directly stated the god that Dean might be an Avatar of was Mithras
6)The story revolved around a Pan's pipes.
7)when Dean/Mithras let loose it was scary cool
