    Summary

    Cas shows up in the bunker one day in a female body for no apparent reason, but is unbothered by this development. Dean is bothered by Cas being unbothered. They still can’t get their shit together.

    ---

    Or: people be like “if Castiel were in a female vessel (s)he and Dean would have been in bed within one episode” and I’m like, would they though? I mean on the CW, probably yes. But given they’re still self-sacrificing idiots who think they don’t deserve nice things, maybe not?

    Summary

    Dean wakes up in 2003 in a motel room, overcome with grief at what he lived through and fearful that he'll have to do it again.

    –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

    A large warm hand was holding Dean’s shoulder, shaking him lightly.

    “Dean.”

    Dean swatted at the hand, mildly surprised when it didn’t let go. People usually gave him a wide berth when he was asleep now, unsure what reaction he'd have from being woken up suddenly. The hand dug in harder, could feel the blunt fingertips push in under his collar bone.

    “Dean, come on.”

    Dean opened his eyes, ready to tell off Cas or Sam— whoever it was— for waking him so soon after he lay down. John Winchester stared down at him, brows knotted together with a grim look. Dean nearly launched himself backwards off the bed, banging his head sharply on the motel headboard and pressing himself bodily against it— far away as possible from the spectre in front of him.

    Summary

    Robby has gone from barely being able to watch to not wanting to even blink. He can’t keep his eyes from darting down to where Whitaker’s thighs grip the saddle, how he slides forwards on it with every downward bow of the bull and back as it pushes up. Again and again and again, he rolls with the mechanical bull with a single circular fluid motion.

    It crosses his mind that this might be one of the hottest things he’s ever seen. He doesn’t even try to unpack that thought, it doesn’t even feel like an opinion he can change. It’s just a fact. Whitaker on the mechanical bull is one of the hottest things he’s ever seen.

    -

    It’s Javadi’s twenty-first birthday party and the Pitt team hit the cowboy themed bar downtown. Whitaker gets on the mechanical bull.

    One thing leads to another.

    Summary

    “Best of three, then,” Silver says, clapping and rubbing his hands together. “When you lose, you–”

    “When?”
     
    “If,” Silver corrects, immediately, but with a tone like he’s indulging the idea of Flint winning rather than actually entertaining it. “If you lose, you’ll have to remove an article of clothing.”

    Flint stares at him. Silver smiles back, mouth like a scythe.

    “What?"

    If Silver’s got the nerve to organize a rum soaked nudist arm-wrestling ring on Flint’s fucking ship, in the middle of the fucking night, in the middle of the fucking ocean, he’d better stand up and take the credit for it - and whatever else may be coming his way.

    Summary

    Silver is in the room when it happens. He’s not sure if he’s glad for it, in retrospect.
