It's pretty amazing how you took a wide assortment of off-hand fangirl comments -- Sam's lack of a room, how would Dean decorate it, what do we really know about Sam's likes/dislikes, Dean's a nester! -- and turned it into a really lovely, intuitive slice of Batcave life.

Dean? IN A TUX? Okay, that's nothing short of delicious. And you hit on how task-driven Dean is.

But more movingly (to me, anyways) is the fact Sam doesn't even know himself sometimes. I don't know what I like, either, Sam thinks. And how he has to sidle apologies up to Dean, sneakily, or the guy won't accept them. I've noted throughout the course of Show that Dean almost never apologizes. There are a gazillion different meta-theories for this, I'm sure.

Anywho, brilliant as usual, Carol! "The Lincoln Bedroom", ha!

Dean was so tickled by Bela ogling him in the "Red Sky" tux, and by the new suit Ezra put him in, that I thought it would be great fun to have him discover an old tux and use it to make an "event" out of unveiling Sam's room. I just love having Dean play!

It was a real puzzle, trying to figure out what Sam likes! Most of the things we've seen him enjoying, he's done in conjunction with Dean. That leaves just his music, and his food choices. Oh, and the dogs - but it's not time for a dog in the Batcave, yet.

Glad you liked the fic - I bribed the Muse with chocolate, and she caved to all the requests. :)

My muse needs some serious bribery today, to be frank! Time to break out the Girlscout cookies...

You got your Girl Scout cookies already???

Hmmm. Now the Muse sees Dean showing up at the Great Bend Walmart to discover a troop of Scouts out front. With boxes and boxes and boxes of COOOOOOOKIIIIIIES.

OMG, YES. And he would say "Are they made from real Girlscouts?" like they've never heard that line before, just to amuse himself... :D

That may be our next project, if I can steal a little time tomorrow. :)

Hee! \0/!

I got up this morning thinking, how GENEROUS it is of Show to give us a springboard where we can be thinking of Girl Scout cookies and giant aquariums!

(Unfortunately, that was one of the many giant faults of 8.15 - no Batcave scene! DUDES. WTH.)
