Prompt meme!

Shamelessly stolen from de_nugis.

Tell me about a story I haven't written, and I will give you 1-3 sentences (or more) from or about it.

I haven't been writing much (apart from my summergen, which keeps getting longer on me and is giving me terrible trouble and I am worried my recipient will hate it and oh God... anyway), so this feels like a fun way to get back into the swing of things.

All my fandoms are fair game. That's Supernatural, H50, Leverage, White Collar, Avengers (and all related Marvel movies that I've seen), and if you know I watch a TV show but haven't written anything for it yet and feel like taking a chance, you should go for it. (Ones that spring to mind are Person of Interest and Teen Wolf, among others.)

*peeks in*

It's so nice to see you here, I miss your fic very much--I understand RL, etc.--just wanted you to know you're missed. :-)

I'll try this?

A story you haven't written--something in your Fusion 'verse, which I love so very much.

Something appropriate for our 4th of July. The time Dean and Cas had to help Peri and Sam deal with an overenthusiastic 4th of July celebration of fireworks...

Thank you. If you write for this, I'll just squee myself to death. :-)

Dean honestly thought that it would be Sam who'd have trouble today. All the crowds combined with weird smells and getting jostled from all sides, combined with the bright lights and loud noises... it should have been a recipe for disaster.

Except that Sam is coping just fine, sitting cross-legged on the floor playing a game of Go Fish! with Cas and laughingly accusing him of cheating while Cas points out that, as there are no actual fish present, the game is something of a misnomer.

Instead, Dean has found himself with an armful of very distraught dog. Perry is whining and wriggling and licking at his face because, as it turns out, no matter how well you train your service dog, it turns out that nothing you do will prepare you for finding out that your dog is terrified of fireworks.

Next year, Dean vows, they'll go on a trip somewhere there aren't any fireworks at all. It'll be better for his nerves.

You haven't written the Fusion 'verse fic where they first get the cat!

[killabeez.livejournal.com]

What about the time Sam overheard someone(s) trash-talking Dean, and couldn't stop himself from setting them straight? I can't recall if this was when they were teenagers, or maybe it was a lot more recent than that—say, out at a bar one night.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Actually, that one is half written. Oops?

+++


Of all the things Dean considered Sam might be hiding from him, this hadn't even made it on the list. Cas is sitting on the first step at the top of the cellar stairs, looking smug, damn him, because of course he was the one to tell Dean that Sam being all shifty wasn't anything to worry about. The thing is, Dean is a worrier, always has been, and he wasn't about to take Cas' word for it that everything was fine, not with Sam acting all cagey and skulking around without telling Dean what he was up to.

Sam is looking at him expectantly now, all big blue eyes and trembly lower lip, clutching the tiny grey bundle to his chest as though Dean might just snatch it away and toss it outside into the nearest snow drift. Because of course Dean is just the sort of guy to go around murdering kittens.

The one where Dean suddenly and inexplicably starts to crave licorice...

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

"You don't know what you're talking about," Sam informs the biggest guy, and he's amazed at how calm he sounds, given that his heart is threatening to come right through his ribcage.

The guy sneers. "Aw, if it isn't baby brother, coming to the rescue. What are you going to do about it?"

"I don't have to do anything." The guy bigger than Sam, but Sam isn't exactly a shrimp anymore, not since last summer. He smiles, enjoying how it unsettles the other guy. "The fact that your girlfriend picked my brother over you speaks for itself. If I were you, I wouldn't go announcing the fact that you've got a small dick all over school."

There's a burst of laughter from their audience, and when the guy takes a swing at him, Sam is ready and waiting.

Steve really isn't sure what to make of this. "Danny... don't you think it's a little much?"

Danny glares up at him from a desk piled high with licorice packets of every colour and every brand he could get his hands on. "Look, just because I can't seem to eat anything else doesn't mean I shouldn't be allowed to have a little variety in my life!"

Steve tilts his head in acquiescence. "Point taken."

[de-nugis.livejournal.com]

Eee, thank you! Yes, Sam would be secretive and cagey about a kitten. They will never break that pattern, no matter how furry and harmless the occasion.

♥ ♥ ♥!

I love baby brother coming to the rescue!

Why the Avengers/SHIELD should be incredibly grateful that Pepper Potts never considered a life of crime.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Phil has a cramp in his hand, but Pepper is undeterred and hands him another stack of papers. "Here you will find all the documentation pertaining to what is considered proprietary to Stark Industries, and what Mr. Stark is willing to share with S.H.I.E.L.D on condition that all involved employees and agents sign a standard non-disclosure agreement. If you'd care to sign where it's marked, since you're here as Director Fury's proxy..."

He's beginning to think that Nick knew exactly what he was in for, which is why he sent Phil instead. He tries to count all the Post-It notes and gives up after he hits thirteen.

"I don't have to use my blood to sign any of this, do I? Because that's where I draw the line."

Pepper smiles brightly at him, and he sighs and sets about putting pen to paper.

I haven't caught Hawaii 5-0 yet, but the notion of the Winchesters in the islands (for whatever reason) is delicious. So, some sort of crossover? Surfing? Ancient god? Flirtation of your choice? :D

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Dean is flirting with Agent Kalakaua, who is flirting right back and earning herself a dirty look from Sergeant Kelly. Sam is pretty sure they're either dating or related, probably the latter. Only family can scowl at you in that exactly way.

The little guy—Detective Williams—reaches up and pokes Sam in the chest with unnecessary vigor. He's probably annoyed that the top of his head barely reaches Sam's pectorals, but that's hardly Sam's fault.

"You two," he says, slowly and deliberately, "are the worst excuses I have ever seen for fake cops. You're just lucky that Steve and Kono appear to have taken a shine to you, so you get one chance—just one, mind you—to come clean with me before I slap a pair of cuffs on you."

It's laughable that this guy, who is definitely at least two feet shorter than Sam, thinks that he's going to take the two of them down. And yet, looking into Danny William's bright blue eyes, Sam suddenly isn't so sure anymore.

"Okay, I can explain..."

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

The boys will never break the pattern of keeping secrets because they're afraid of the other's reaction. That would just be silly! :P

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Don't mess with Sam, is all I'm saying. Or his brother.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Pepper is the queen of paperwork.

*squees self to death*


That's wonderful, thank you so much! Not the typical route you'd think about Sam and fireworks--very cool choices. Poor Perry. (And my apologies for spelling her name wrong, I was thinking of another companion named Peri (for Doctor Who ;-)

Thanks again!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

My dog freaks the hell out during thunderstorms and fireworks, so it seemed fitting. Glad you liked it! :D

[ferrous-wheeler.livejournal.com]

I adore the fusion verse as well! I am really terrible at prompts, so here goes nothing: Sam overhears Dean talking to someone about money worries, and blames himself, Dean has to calm him down. I know, not the most uplifting, but I figure that that would be something that they'd have to face at some time or other. (If you don't like, please change or ignore as you like!!! :) )

The one where they go to visit Bobby one summer and bb!Sammy really wants to keep Bobby's dog, so Dean tries to think up elaborate ways to steal it (even though he thinks dogs suck).

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

"Sam, so help me I will come over there and unplug that computer if you don't turn it off yourself."

"Laptop."

Dean grits his teeth, because it's nearly eleven o'clock and Sam's off-schedule by at least an hour without showing any signs of coming away from whatever it is he's obsessing over on the internet. He stalks over to the computer table, intent on slamming the laptop shut and throwing it out the nearest window if he has to, and stops short when he sees what's on the screen.

"I thought you worked on your translation stuff in the morning?"

Sam shakes his head. "I took on an extra contract, short deadline."

"Why the hell would you do that?" His brother doesn't look up, fingers flying over the keyboard, shoulders hunched in the way he gets only when he's feeling guilty about something. "Sam."

"We need the money. I heard you tell Cas... I couldn't make it work otherwise, I'm sorry. I tried, but there wasn't any other way." Sam still hasn't looked up, but his hands are shaking.

Dean reaches over and closes the laptop, and Sam lets him, dropping his gaze to his lap. "Okay, enough," he says gently. "Here's what's going to happen. You're going to take your meds, and we're going to go to bed. When we've both slept, we're going to have a long talk about money, and why you need to come talk to me before you freak out about conversations you eavesdropped on. Got it?"

"Wasn't eavesdropping," Sam mutters, but he lets Dean lead him away without protest, thank God.

They'll sleep on it, and in the morning it'll all look better.

No matter which way he cuts it, there's no way to hide it from Dad in the long-term. Except that Sam is looking up at him with that mixture of pleading and confidence in his big brother that Dean hasn't figured out how to resist, his arms around the dog's neck, and so Dean sets his mind to it again.

"Maybe Dad wouldn't notice if we drilled air holes in the bottom of the trunk..."

The Impala was mad at him for a whole month. XD
