LOL, "Well, he didn't have a head. No ears." Oh my god. That is perfect. XD

I love that this piece takes us through the "not quite a case" and other sloppy moments of hunting, what with the crashing through bushes and ending up unexpectedly soggy. Frankly, it's probably these moments that give the Winchesters their mettle when it comes to surmounting insurmountable odds. They've trained well in the art of pursuing something JUST IN CASE it's not futile after all. <3

And I can see why the groom might have wanted to make a bouquet of oleander--it actually does bloom very beautifully. My mother has some in her yard, and the flowers are a gorgeous bright pink or pure white. A great wedding bouquet! Except for the murderousness of it all, heh. ;)

Thank you for this! And I love the Winchesters lingering in the hazy background of the title card image.

I'm glad you like it!

I've had my own experience with the beauty of white oleander - the sap made my hands break out in a nasty rash. This of course started me thinking of people who might have a worse allergic reaction than I did.

Repeating kalliel's comment here and saying - LOL, "Well, he didn't have a head. No ears." Oh my god. That is perfect. XD

So nice! I could very easily picture S1 or S2 Sam and Dean in this story. The little tricks and smartassy comments and the bickering...that's our boys! Thanks for sharing this!!

I love a good slice of life where they're not bogged down by demon blood, of Marks of Cain etc. Every bit of it was very 'them'!

Some of my favorite episodes were before all the Heaven and Hell business.

I'm glad you liked it.
