Give me one of my own stories, and a timestamp sometime in the future after the end of the story, or sometime in the past before the story started, and I'll write you at least a hundred however many words of what happened then, whether it's five minutes before the story started or ten years in the future.

For reference, stuff I've writtenDon't

Since Debbie got to Dictionary for a Dead Language, I'll choose a future timestamp for The King of Imperfections...

[britomart_is]

Do you have a preference on how far in the future?

[callistosh65]

Not really - whatever you feel like writing for them.

They've been living in Elk Plain for long enough to have accumulated junk in the garage and developed opinions on the town council, but it doesn't occur to them to buy into this Halloween nonsense till they're standing in the grocery aisle and Dean is clutching a two-pound bag of mini Reese's cups to his chest. He looks at Sam with great urgency.

"Fine," Sam says. "But if we get them, we're leaving the porch light on for trick-or-treaters. You can have the leftovers." He takes them and puts them in the cart. He stares at them thoughtfully. "They're all so smallAnd that's how, five years in, the Plant-Page household abruptly becomes extremely popular with the kindergarten set

The next morning Sam goes out to get the newspaper and Josh is sitting on their curb. Sam freezes, then cuts the kid a quick wave. He waves back, hand fluttering like a hummingbird

Sam leans in conspiratorially. "Between you and me?" He smiles. "Dean's my favorite, too." Point at which I officially melted. God, this was glorious - from Sam and Dean masks to the salt-shaker, to Sammy making out with a national hero. Utterly fabulous - thank you so much for doing this!

Adorable! (and also- been there, and Dean and Sam are both right about the psychic connection and chance of leftovers)

And then they're busted! Gah!

Dean would love it, yes..
"Between you and me?" He smiles. "Dean's my favorite, too."
oh, Sam.
