Pre-Series Recs
Title: The Dumbest Thing Dean Ever Did
Author/Artist: hiyacynth
Rating: PG-13
Length/Word Count: 1,700 words
Warnings/Spoilers: Spoiler free but taken from a line in 2x09 (Croatoan).
Summary: "This is the dumbest thing you’ve ever done."
"I dunno about that. 'Member that waitress in Tampa?"
--"Croatoan"
Reccer's Comments: This is a prime example of how a fanfic author can take one little line from an episode and create a hilarious, spot-on story that immediately becomes canon in my head. Watch out for those waitresses in Tampa, they'll get you in trouble every time.
