When life hands you lemons, slash them with limes

OKAY, THEN! Who wants angsty pre-S6 Dean POV gen fic?

Internets: *crickets*

WELL, I WROTE SOME ANYWAY! IDEK, of all the things I could write, this is what happened yesterday at work.

aggybird's first comment when she sent it back was, "I thought you said this was GEN." To which I say, it IS. As gen as Sam and Dean ever get, anyway. /o\

Header info:

Title: The Bitter Taste of Smoke
Genre: Gen
Rating: R
Warnings: Some disturbing fire-related imagery.
Wordcount: 2,100
Summary: Civilian life is an adjustment. Dean is doing the best he can.

Notes: Thanks to aggybird and laulan for the speedy betas.

Takes place pre-S6. I wanted to get this out before it was Jossed completely. I am spoiler-free, don't tell me how wrong I am (please, thank you, smiley face)!

Tired like a tired thing. So what I decided to do was write fic. It made sense at the time.

Title: In These Losing Fights
Genre: Gen
Rating: PG-13
Spoilers: For 5x04
Notes: In the same universe as this story, though you don't have to read that for this to make sense.
Summary: Dean's goodbye to Sam is meant to be final and without regret.

( In These Losing Fights )

I feel like people either don't believe me when I say I should not be encouraged, or they just don't care.

I think this is another one of those things that I don't title because I feel like that would give it a validity it doesn't deserve. I'm pretty sure I get to blame rhythmsextion for this? I wrote it to make up for my last angstypants story. ANYWAY, utterly ridiculous, spoilers through 5x02.

( Just when you thought all of my fic was going to be srs bznz... )

I hate headers. Am far too braindead at the moment. Here is some Dean-centric genfic. It is spoilery through the end of S4. Exactly 1,000 words, which I find absurdly pleasing for some reason.

ETA: Header
Title: You Stood Witness To Yourself
Genre: Gen
Spoilers: "Lucifer Rising"
Warnings: None
Summary: Die young and leave a pretty corpse.

So, I had to write Castiel fic in order to feel like the day hadn't been entirely wasted. This is totally to justify the crackfic I've been writing.

Anywhoo, fic under the cut.

***

( As far as he can tell, Castiel made at least one grave miscalculation regarding Dean Winchester. )

"When the Levee Breaks" Coda that was jossed almost immediately. Ah, well.

(  Castiel was assigned to Dean Winchester for a reason. )

Works as an "On the Head of a Pin" coda. Vaguely slashy overtones if you're so inclined. Otherwise it's gen.


( Castiel likes to watch Dean Winchester sleep. )
