Pesky rabbits keep sneaking into the office. Not to worry. We called the exterminator.

Hi everyone! :) (For half of the world), spring is in the air, or soon-to-be! And if you're in the southern hemisphere, well... A changing season is a changing

This snippet is stupid long, I'm sorry. It's also from 2010, so I didn't initially even recognize what the context for this scene was, or wtf Dean's problem was. XD But apparently it was supposed to be a 6x11 tag, where adjusting back to living with real!Sam after soulless!Sam was harder than it would later turn out to be in canon.

Tropes: alcoholism, abandonment issues, emotional damage, [warning: other hurt characters]

[Sam comes home in time for Christmas. 6x11 tag. Angst, fluff, platonic bed sharing, 191 proof.]If he can pull himself together before Dean comes back this time, it'll be a freaking godsend. Near as they can figure, it's his soul gracelessly making up for lost time. Part of that whole acclimation thing, from cold turkey soullessness to bona fide Sammy, as Dean put it; all the same Sam's pretty sure going Splendor in the Grass every time the local grocery doesn't stock WinterFresh is pretty far and above--anything. Nothing like a little waterworks to help Dean rediscover his controlling streak. He's getting better, though.

Sam is getting better. Dean is

[Same snippet, Part II]Sam closes his eyes, and tries very hard not to ask Dean why he hadn't been privy to his sooner. He knows why. Does he ever. But if your brother gets his soul back, and the least you could do is let him in on the top secret Winchester finances. It'd make him feel less pathetically pre-pubescent

[kalliel]

[SAME SNIPPET, GDI LIVEJOURNAL Part III]New tactic. "If you need space, Dean, you don't need to make up some excuse. You can just say so; hell, you can just go. I'm not gonna...wiretap you every time you do something without handing me an itinerary. Remember when we said were gonna try that trust thing again? We can try that again. Let's try that again."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Good to know. But...main desk, refund. Store. That's all she wrote. The end. Coda time. We're fine."

Sam looks at Dean, and he sees drawn skin, tinged shower-pink under the exhaustion, and he sees crow's feet, lines he doesn't remember. He sees guilt, and fear, and confusion, and (please don't let it be) resentment. And all of Sam's thoughts and wavering inferences funnel down and all he's left with is the feeling that he's just been living one big mistake. Again. Now they're just running out the meter.

Because Dean doesn't know what he wants anymore. And Sam's just the mistake--he shouldn't want anything.

"I'm coming with."

"You wh"This isn't about space? Good. 'Cause I want

Baba yaga tends to Dean's head cold, Russian-style

[kalliel]

Shamelessly reposting this from the examples in the post. I'd originally written it for instructional purposes only, but really now:

I [don't actually] have a Russian babushka, and whenever I'm [hypothetically] sick and I'm over visiting, she'll whip out two home remedies: holding my head over a pot of just-boiled potatoes so I can inhale all the steam, and drinking warm beer. Both are kind of gross tbh but THEY SO WORK. So I had this idea of like, Sam and Dean working some kind of case, however peripherally, that involved Russian mythology, and having Dean be subjected to these cures. I feel like the warm beer one is just so SPN. Plus if you're going to start a series with a house fire clearly you also need to include a house with a chicken foot, right?

I actually half started a Babi Yaga case fic about three years ago that's been sitting in a folder untouched all this time. You could give it new life with your Russian-ness! LOL

Wheelchair!Dean snippet, 1/3

[sinnerforhire]

This snippet is ridiculously long too. It's a flashback scene from a fic where Dean has used a wheelchair since early childhood.

”Daaaaaad! Dean's being mean to me!”

Dad looks up from the table full of books and papers and glares at Sam. “What did he say?”

“He said he wouldn't let me use his markers if I didn't shut the 'h' up,” Sam replies, crossing his arms.

“Were you being loud?”

“No, I wasn't, honest!” Sam straightens up and moves his hands to his pockets. “I was humming the bullfrog song, but I wasn't even as loud as Dean's radio.”

Dad frowns and stands up. “Is Dean in your room?”

“Yeah.”

Sam follows Dad into the small bedroom that he and Dean have been sharing for the last six weeks. This apartment is nicer than their last one, which kind of smelled like cat pee. It's on the first floor and there's a special bathroom just for Dean that already has bars and the high toilet seat and the bench in the shower. Dean's squinting at Huckleberry Finn, which he's been trying to read all morning, but he's still in the

Dad scowls at him. “I don't have time for this crap right now.” He turns back to Dean, who's now lying on a gurney. He's not shaking anymore, but he's still

By the time Dean gets out of surgery, it's dark outside. They only get to see Dean for a few minutes and he's really out of it. There's a big bandage over his ear and some of his hair is shaved off. “Hey, pipsqueak,” says Dean when Sam steps up to the side of the bed. His voice sounds funny. “Sorry you couldn't do the... whatever thing

Re: Wheelchair!Dean snippet, 2/3

[kalliel]

I know I said that snippets could very well feel like full fics to readers, and I think this is one of those! There's surely more story that could be told, but this snippet also has such a strong, full arc to it as it is. There's something extremely affecting about being told this through Sam's point of view--the vantage point of a young child who knows both too much about his brother, his family, but also not nearly enough to understand why things are the way they are for them, for instance, or whether they'll be okay in the end, or even what differences "without Dean" would really mean. Because he says in that final line that things would be a lot different, without further specificity--where perhaps an adult narrative would be quite clear about the undebated negativity of said differences. But then that makes me think that perhaps it's not about age, not really, but honesty. Because to be in that kind of situation as an adult--obviously, it's not a good or a pleasant thing. But it can feel like any number of things across any

New, don't mind me: an idea

[anonymous]

I saw this, so I hope I'm doing this right, since I'm a long time lurker, but this idea has been stuck in my head forever

[catnthecradle]

I've had this stuck in my head for a while now, but I can't write and even if I could I wouldn't know how to resolve it so I'm hoping someone will adopt this orphan bunny.

In 'Changing Channels' Gabriel said that all the Angels knew that Sam & Dean were born to be Lucifers & Michaels meatsuits, and we all know how much Gabe wanted to stop his brothers from fighting so my plot bunny is.

Gabriel sneaks into the hospital and arranges for Sam Winchester to be switched at birth, so that Lucifer won't have his perfect meatsuit but only a boy who's been primed with demon blood and one with the right bloodline who can't hold him, so the apocalypse fizzles. I'd love to see Sam & Dean's reaction to discovering they're not blood, and them tracking down the real Sam. (In my headcannon it's Xander Harris and Sam Winchester that are switched-but that's just 'cos I luv x-overs)

[juppschmitz]

My God, what I wouldn't give to have Xander travel the United States as Dean's (supposed) little brother, slaying monsters.

Can you imagine??

:D
