    Summary

    It's 2028 and Jensen has just turned 50. Jared and him are still doing some conventions, still finishing each other's sentences, and still single. And, sometimes, it takes a couple of decades and an incredible birthday present in the shape of a motorcycle to realize your person has been alongside you all along.

    Summary

    But that’s when he notices them: the rings.

    The shining knickknacks on the table to Sam’s left aren’t just pieces of bargain-bin estate fluff. It’s jewelry. Now that Dean’s moved away, a shaft of light falls right onto the table, reflecting light directly into Sam’s vision.  He blinks away the bright spots, and there they are. Sitting innocuously on the edge of the table closest to him.

    Later, it will feel like fate. Right now, the feeling is inexplicable, as Sam’s burgeoning sentence dies on his tongue.

    Or: After Chuck has been defeated and life is as good as it's ever been, Sam impulsively buys a pair of rings at an estate sale. Dean starts acting strangely.

    Summary

    “Oh, what now?” Dustin snaps, and Steve can just hear the eye-roll. He pointedly does not see it, because if he looks at the kid’s face with its fucking split lip and black eye, he’s just going to get pissed all over again, and that hasn’t exactly been helping with anything so far.

    Steve grits his teeth, continues to stare at the ground as they walk, pretending it’s to make sure he doesn’t trip. “Nothing, we’re good.”

    “Right,” Dustin says, so dryly that Steve wonders if he’ll ever hear any other tone besides that and anger from him. “We’re so good you won’t even look at me.”

    Something snaps in Steve’s gut, that red-hot rage that’s been sitting there since Dustin showed up hours ago looking like a punching bag. “Oh, I’m surprised you care,” he said. “You’ve made it pretty clear you don’t give a shit about what I have to say.”

    Souls are just math. Everything is just math if you’re smart enough to break it down, and Ash is a freaking genius.
