Ridiculous - Additional Author's Notes
For some reason, I went to great amounts of detail when I was plotting out this minibang and how it would proceed. I figured, maybe, my notes may be interesting to some. So, under the cut, you have my notes, including the various people the Winchesters dated, a timeline for prior to the minibang's time, and little notes on the main foursome's day to day lives.
Enjoy!
In Ridiculous, multiple mentions are made to the identity of old flames, exes and such that Both Dean and Sam had. While Gabriel is fairly confined to Kali and Crowley, Sam and Dean have fairly extensive lists.
In the interest of filling in anyone who wondered how that had worked out for the boys, I compiled two lists for both of them. All these characters are taken from original appearances in the episodes across the first six seasons.
Dean
Sam
Of course, both these lists end in Castiel and Gabriel respectively.
____________
The little nuances of this fic plagued me from the beginning, such as figuring out how it was that the boys worked their shifts at their jobs every day, how they all got to work, what their work schedules were like, et cetera, so on and so forth.
The following is a little compilation of these little factoids about the ‘verse.

The following is a little compilation of these little factoids about the ‘verse.
- Dean works 8am-5pm, Monday to Friday, at Singer’s Garage, 9am-12pm on Saturdays
- Sam works 830am-6pm Monday to Friday at York General Hospital, alternating Saturdays OR Sundays 10am-4pm or 12pm-6pm
- Gabriel works 8am-530pm Monday to Friday in Pediatrics at York General Hospital, And alternates 11am-4pm OR 12pm-6pm on Saturdays
- Castiel works 8am-5pm Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, 12pm-830pm Wednesday and Friday. He’s got a yuppie job, that one.
- Every morning Sam rides with Dean to Singer’s Garage for 745am, says good morning to Bobby, stops at Starbucks in the nearby subway station, then rides the subway for 15 minutes and arrives at the Hospital
- Every morning Gabriel rides the subway right from nearby his house half an hour to the hospital, after a quick stop at Starbucks, arriving at work around 745am
- Every morning Castiel walks (or bikes, depending) twenty minutes to York Regional Main Library. Thursday nights he meets up with Dean for dinner, either at one of their homes, or out.
- Every night Sam and Gabriel meet on the first floor in Pedatrics reception, walk down to the subway station, and ride together for half an hour before Gabriel’s stop comes up. Sam rides another fifteen minutes, disembarks, and walks five minutes to his and Dean’s apartment.

The final thing that I toyed with in this ‘verse was the age difference between Sam and Gabriel, when they met, and what their timelines were prior to the time that the story takes place in. Tabling it out, the following is how that all works out:
NOTE: The table is blocked in terms of Sam’s different blocks of school. Also note, this is based on Canadian legal studies times.
