Take Me Home (Master Post)

So I was having a little conversation in the comment section of my last story with [livejournal.com profile] elsewhere_kels, in which I lamented that I'd forgotten to add in a "Lassie" reference when I tossed Dean down a well (yes, I'm really mean to Dean, I think we all get that now).

The original plan was to have a snippet of dialogue that would go a bit like this:

Sam: "Hey, Timmy, did you fall down the well?"

Dean: "You realize that makes you Lassie, right?"

Sam: *bitchface*

To which [livejournal.com profile] elsewhere_kels replied: Aw, no! A Lassie reference would have been epic! It's no wonder, the only way it could have been improved and you've already thought of it.

Then the conversation went like this:

[livejournal.com profile] elsewhere_kels: Do iiiit. =D The Power of Collie-Sam compels you!

Me: Lassie!Sam makes me giggle like a mad giggling thing. ;)

[livejournal.com profile] elsewhere_kels: ...You know there has to be Trickster!Gabriel-turns-Sam-into-a-Collie fic where he's kind of woobie over him now, right? x3

Me: Oh my God, that would be cracktastic.

And thus, a crack!fic was born. I make no apologies for this, because it's total and utter crack, and it ATE MY BRAIN and wouldn't leave me alone until I wrote it. It's not finished yet, but it's nearly done, and I've been writing almost non-stop since early on Monday, when I first decided to start typing. So I'm going to start posting, maybe one or two chapters a day. They're short, so I think it's okay.

:::ETA:::

Okay, it's done. It's longer than I thought it would be, and it sort of moved away from crack into more serious territory about halfway through the fic, and especially in the final third of the story.

:::/ETA:::

It's utterly unbeta'd. This is the master post: links to all chapters will go here.

Title: Take Me Home
Summary: The Trickster decides to have some fun with Sam. Wackiness ensues, with a healthy helping of whump, because it's me and I can't leave the boys intact.
Spoilers: All aired episodes up to 5.10
Word Count: 54,776 (COMPLETE! Thank God!)
Disclaimer: Luckily for them, I own nothing. Otherwise they'd be in for a world of hurt.
Warning: Utter crack. A little bit of non-explicit het (there will be warnings in the appropriate chapter), swearing, violence. Also, dogs. Lots of dogs.
Neurotic Authorial Disclaimer: No beta, written in such a hurry I'm amazed my fingers managed to connect with the keyboard.
Neurotic Authorial Disclaimer #2:I take NO responsibility for this, because it's cracktastic and weird and I can't believe it came out of of my brain. If you are scarred for life after reading it, it's NOT my fault!
Neurotic Authorial Disclaimer #3: It's basically "Lassie Come-Home," Winchester-style. I dunno. STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT!

Aww! *blushes*

1- I'm so glad you liked it!

2- I never denied it! I just saw it more as "Lassie Come-Home," because that's what I modeled it on. But it definitely has Littlest Hobo vibes. I loved that show! :D

3- *blushes more*

4- *continues to blush*

5- Yes! SPN night! We'll recruit [livejournal.com profile] le_maistre_e and maybe a couple of others, pop some popcorn, and have a grand old time. :D

2) I kept hearing the theme song every time he ran into someone.

5) If you don't mind having a wee one wandering around early in the evening, we can do it over at my place in NDG. I don't get out all that often as weekends are pretty much my time to look after Hunter. (That sounds worse than it actually is, but makes sense in my head)

POP CORN AND FOOD AND MUNCHIES AND GOOD FOOD AND LAUGHING AND TRYING NOT TO PEE FROM THE SNARK FLYING AROUND THE ROOM!!!!!

OK.. done with the flaily and screamy.

I don't mind in the slightest. Most of my friends have ankle biters, so I am reasonably well-versed in having wee people running around. :)

I have a weird schedule, but I'm generally free either two or three evenings out of the week. We'll have to figure out what works for both of us.

WHEEE!

Flaily and screamy is perfectly welcome in this LJ.

(Hmm. Login fail. Sorry.)

Well I do believe that B gave you my number. Give me a call over the weekend, when you have a chance and we'll try to work something out for maybe a week or 2 from now. Give everyone a chance to schedule and pencil us in. (I feel all important now)

Actually, she didn't.

I'll ping you with a PM in a moment. I'm working this weekend, but I can call in the evening, if that's okay.

What time is dinner/bath/bed in your household? Or, more specifically, when is a good time to call?

Or I can call on my lunch break. That works too. ;)

after 7 minutes shy of 3 hours on the phone, you actually got me to post something on my page. it's a whole lot of sleepy flailing.

I actually think I'll start posting more. I'm getting more snarky with each fic I read. (it's PROSTATE people.. the other thing doesn't mean what you think it means!! spellCHECK does what it says on the tin! use it!

ok.. gonna go back to hiding now.

I saw! You should totally post more. :D

(What word could possibly be used instead of "prostate?" Is it "prostrate?" That's not even a noun!)
