Title: Indiana For Now

Author: emmademarais

Recipient: cedarlibrarian

Rating: PG

Notes: Pre-series, wee!chesters circa 1988-1989. Thanks to my betas!

Summary: For a while, John tries to create a quiet, normal life for Sam and Dean

( There's a rusty old swing set in the sunbaked crabgrass, its once bright colors faded with age, that creaks and squeaks - more vehemently so when Sammy pumps his little legs, forcing the swing to go higher and higher. )

Aw, boys. It's lovely to see them have a slice of domesticity. Especially knowing what's coming in Wisconsin.

Yay! I'm so glad the Wisconsin reference was clear. I shouldn't have been worried about people getting it, given this fandom, but it made me very happy to see your comment first up. /cheers/

Thanks so much for reading!

Very sweet. So many moments reminded me of my own Indiana childhood. Loved the enormous sundae, and Dean's little posse, Sam's fierce enjoyment of reading, John fixing cars in the afternoon. Beautiful little slice of life.

What a wonderful thing to hear! I drove through Indiana not long ago, but past that I can't claim any real knowledge of the area. I had to pull out my atlas to figure out which roads were in the area save the 80 which I knew already. I did have a part of the state in mind so that helped.

Ironically, there's a town called Cedar Lake right in the area I had in my mind for the fic so it was perfect for a recipient named cedarlibrarian! (Amusingly St. John is close and there's a blue line running through the U in nearby Munster so it looked like Monster at first glance. LOL)

The sundae is based on the Pig Trough at Farrell's Ice Cream Parlor if you know of them at all. They gave you a ribbon or something if you ate the whole thing by yourself. /grins/

Thanks so much for reading and for your lovely comment!
