    Summary

    “So, what’re you actually proposing here, Dean?” Bobby asked, greying eyebrows raised.

    “I’m suggesting we watch the preview before we buy the movie,” Dean snarked.

    Castiel’s look of confusion only deepened and, for once, Sam was right there with him. “…You know, skip a few chapters in the book. Check out the dessert menu before ordering dinner. I mean, if Zachariah can show us where the future’s heading, why not Cas?”


    Dean's not thrilled about Sam's plan to say, "Yes," to the Devil and spend an eternity in the pit, so he proposes taking a road trip 15 years in the future to see how it all works out in the aftermath of the Apocalypse.

    Sam had thought he was prepared for what awaited him in the future, but a pregnant fiancé, a human Castiel, and a married Dean were more than he'd been expecting.

    Summary

    And Stefon is still giving Seth that look. He’s seen it a million times before on the show, outside of the show, really anywhere and anytime they’re together Stefon gives Seth this look. And every time Seth just rolls his eyes, pushes it aside. Marks it off as just Stefon trying to get a rouse out of him. But tonight that look felt like it was eating him from the inside out.

    What starts as a simple conversation about the darkness of ones soul quickly turns into the best game of Chicken Seth has played since high school.

    Summary

    "We can't date each other," Stefon protests. "We just spent the entire night talking about how fucked up we both are and how neither of us has ever had a healthy relationship."

    "So we'll be friends," Seth offers.

    Stefon gives him a disbelieving look. "You really think we can just be friends?"

    "There's no 'just' about it. Being friends is good - great, even."

    Stefon still looks hesitant, but after a moment, he nods. "Fine. We'll be friends."

    Summary

    Dean sees a lot of people come and go. He and Charlie are running a soup kitchen / shelter after all. He always feels compassion but he also always respects the boundaries he and Charlie have set for their private lives. Always, that is, until one winter night, a quiet man with dark hair and blue eyes comes in, wearing nothing warmer than a hoodie and obviously intent on going back out into the cold.

    Summary

    With the promise to meet up again in the morning, Dean once again has to watch Cas leave to handle a separate case. If only he knew the words to ask Cas to stay. But he doesn't. Instead, he'll enjoy a little teasing banter and food stealing leaning against Baby's hood before Cas leaves, and then he'll kiss Cas goodbye and drive away to meet up with Sam and.... wait, wait, wait a second. Oh God. Did he just kiss his best friend goodbye?

    Summary

    Written for the ficwip February challenge 'hey, sweetheart' and combined with a Tumblr ask prompt!

     

    “You’ll be here all week? Terrible that you’re workin’ on Valentine’s Day,” Doris tuts disapprovingly, “you ought to be spendin’ it with your special someone.”

     

    “I ain’t got a special someone right now,” Dean assures her kindly, leaning back in his chair, tapping the table that separates him from Doris and her husband, “and I don’t mind working.”

     

    “Well, of course you do!” Doris exclaims.

     

    “I work most holidays, I really don’t mind –”

     

    “No, you’ve got a special someone,” Doris corrects, eyeing him critically, smirking in a way that crinkles all of her many wrinkles, “a woman like me can tell.”

    Summary

    As Picard trudged a path through the heaps of flowers to his desk, he knew only one entity in the universe who would do something so showy, so shamelessly ostentatious, that as he lay a hand on the flower-coated surface of his desk he had to take a moment to draw a deep breath in through his nose and let it out slowly before addressing the room.

    "Q." Only ringing silence answered him. "Q, I know it's you. Come out immediately."

    Summary

    Sometimes it feels impossible to compare the Q described in Starfleet records to the one that pops on and off the ship at his own leisure. It really shouldn’t be, especially given that Jean-Luc has provided almost all the information, but reading Q’s description on paper is vastly different to enduring his presence.

    For example, Q’s file now states that he is averse to touch with physical beings. Words that Jean-Luc himself wrote stare back at him from the screen, but he cannot bring himself to believe them.

    Jean-Luc can recall a hundred casual touches: a mouth next to his temple, an arm around his shoulder, a finger tracing his ear, a hand reaching for his across his desk. These were not the behaviours of a touch-averse creature.
