This is a bit from that "Cody's accidental vacation" fic that I posted ages ago... don't know if I'll wind up actually using it, but it's been so long since I managed any sort of fiction, it's definitely worth a small celebration!Cody's better than some--many, most--of his brothers at minimizing the time he's had to spend in med bays, but he's ( Read more... )

Trying to remember how this whole 'writing fiction' thing works.... 107 words for the 1_million_words daily alphabet challenge: S. Don't know if this will wind up fitting anywhere into the main Laugh, Said the Rabbit fic, if it ever gets written, but hey: words! that I wrote spontaneously! whoo!

Six feet of awkward, jagged climbing down, the cave floor smoothed ( Read more... )

Expedition 5 (July 6 & 7) - Supply dump and confirming measurements

• James is pretty sure there’s rope somewhere in his dad’s “shop”, except that’s basically a terrifying pile of boxes in the garage, back behind the car inherited from his grandmother, so it’s going to take some doing to locate it. In the meantime, they get film and batteries for the ( Read more... )

First attempt at a fill for the prompt for the previous fic, set in the Evil that Walks Invisible AU. I like it, but another one of those that just refused to go any further.
There's a woolly bear crawling across the playing field, bringing the game to an absolute halt ( Read more... )

Expedition 4 (July 1) - Bone Cave A, Gum Wrappers

• One thing not mentioned so far is that it is *hot*. There’s a sticky heatwave going on, and the caves are pleasantly cool, even chilly in comparison
• .George brings the rabbit bundled inside the hoodie he’s planning to wear once inside; there are rabbit pellets when he shakes it out before putting it ( Read more... )

This was originally intended to be a bit more substantial, but I got this far and then never managed to get it moving again. However, I quite like it, so here 'tis (and here's the fic it was supposed to be a coda for):
Dean's still sweet, even after his time downstairs--sweeter, perhaps, for having been so bruised. She'd expected him to shy from ( Read more... )

This entry got away from me a bit, and as you can tell, I'm still figuring what order things actually happen in.
Expedition 3 (June 30) - Caves 2-3: Empty, Geometric Paintings

• On the 29th, their parents are home and also it rains, so they instead put together packing lists and the basics of “The Rules” as seen in the other document file.
• The empty ( Read more... )

So, I want to turn these into proper prose at some point, but right now wordy outlining is all I can manage. But I might as well stick it up here as anywhere, see if anyone else thinks it might be interesting.

Expedition 1 (June 27) - Rabbit and Cave Entrance, Undocumented Wanderings

• George finds the cave entrance chasing what he thinks is ( Read more... )

The thing about angel-healing is that sometimes the mind and body remember that the injury should be there. Dean’s never seemed quite as affected by that as Sam, but this time it appears to be sticking to him - and to be fair, Sam’s also still a little stuck on the image of Dean drained paper-white, surrounded by the rust and crimson of his own ( Read more... )

They sleep in the tent head-to-toe, like when they bed down in the car; at some point while Sam was hiking, Dean turned his pile of tangled bedding into an actual bedroll. It’ll be a mess again long before Sam wakes up, but the effort is appreciated. He doesn’t say so, though - at least not in so many words. But he laughs at Dean’s jokes about the ( Read more... )
