Title: Breathe Fire

Author: angeltrap

Series: Supernatural

Genre: gen, hurt-comfort

Characters: Dean, Sam, OFC (child)

Warnings: Asthma, broken bones, completely unprofessional medical vocabulary

Word count: 3000

Summary: “I don't have asthma.” He just got like this when he spent too much time around massive amounts of dust, or cats, or when he was sick, or every spring when there was pollen everywhere, but that was just allergies, not asthma.

Comments: I WROTE A THING. I haven't written anything for almost TWO YEARS, and not for the lack of trying – I had all the ideas and couldn't get anything out! I can't tell you how excited I am to have finished something!

Also, would you believe I wrote half of this on my cell-phone? On. My. Cell-phone. In the bus. My fanfic-fu has reached new levels.

And then the important bit: I do have asthma, but I'm not all that familiar with related vocabulary (especially in English) or how it actually works. Then again, the Dean in this story knows even less, so... :D I don't know how widely asthma was recognized and treated in the US around Dean's childhood, but I imagine it wasn't very widely, and I also imagine that John's nomadic lifestyle, lack of money and insurances and general johnwinchesterness would have kept Dean from ever being diagnosed in his youth in any case. Dean, I supposed, would have just thought it was somehow his fault and worked all the more harder to keep up with his father. (Which is only possible because I gave him a relatively mild version of asthma, mind you. An untreated asthma can be really dangerous, so if you have asthma, don't be a Winchester. See a doctor.)

Title: The Winchester Guide to Fine Dining for the Gastronomically Challenged

Author: angeltrap

Series: Supernatural

Genre: gen, hurt-comfort, family, I guess?

Characters: Dean, Sam and supporting OMCs

Warnings: Allergic reaction, anaphylactic shock, completely unprofessional medical vocabulary, and some language

Word count: ~5000

Summary: For this prompt by rbmi_fan on hoodie_time's Summer-themed comment meme: Sam and Dean clear out a ghost for a rich business guy, who rewards them very generously. They go out for supper at this fancy coastal seafood restaurant (because it's summer), and Dean is so distracted by the unusually upscale environment that he accidentally eats something with shrimp in it and goes into anaphylactic shock. Cue freaking out customers and frantic Sam trying to find the epipen. And maybe afterwards Dean is all woozy and clingy from oxygen deprivation <3

Comments: First off, please ignore the monster that is the lame-ass last-minute title...

As for the the story itself, well, frantic!Sam turned into fiercely protective!Sam somewhere along the lines, and Dean wanted to cling during rather than after the fact, but... all in all, I'm relatively happy with this, especially considering that I managed to write it despite the huge writer's block I've been struggling with for months. :D

Everything about Dean's allergic reaction was written from personal experience, and I'd just like to say that if I were allergic to shrimp, I would never ever in a million years eat at a seafood restaurant, and if I did, I'd practically follow the waiter to the kitchen to nag about how they shouldn't even glance at shrimp while preparing my meal... but then, I've made my fair share of ridiculous mistakes, like not realizing that a certain food could include nuts and thus not bothering to ask about it. (Of course, it did include nuts. Which is why I'm such a paranoid bastard now.)

In short, if you're allergic to something, always mention it when you eat out.

The epipen, in case you don't know, is an adrenaline auto-injector you should always carry with you if you're severely allergic to something. Basically – this is what the doctors tell me – it gives your body the extra kick it needs to stay alive until you can get to a hospital.

//edit: I was kindly informed that it should be "shrimp" both in singular and plural. My Oxford Dictionary and Merriam-Webster fu tell me that both "shrimp" and "shrimps" are fine for the plural form, but I decided to change them all to "shrimp" to avoid confusion. :)

Title: Hold the Fort

Series: Supernatural

Genre: gen; family, hurt/comfort; slightly angsty because hey, SPN canon.

Rating: PG-13

Characters: Jo & Ellen + Bobby, Sam, Dean, John and Bill Harvelle

Warnings: some language, canon character death (not detailed)

Summary: “Because I'm not a hunter, sweetheart,” Mom finally said, “and if you go down that road, how can I protect you?”

Comments: So... I wanted to write something for Mother's Day. I originally meant to write something much sunnier for spn_bigpretzel, and chose Ellen over Mary so I could include spn_bigpretzel's spotlight character of the week, Jo. As soon as I started writing, I realized that this would be too sad to fit that comm's bill, but I figured I'd write it anyway, because Ellen totally kicks ass and Jo's awesome by association.

Partly based on Jo's blog, though I deliberately left some things out to keep this short and the focus on Jo and Ellen's relationship.

Title: Dean the Laundromat Slayer

Author: angeltrap

Series: Supernatural

Rating/genre: Pg-13, humor, family

Characters/Pairings: Dean, Sam and Castiel, no pairings excluding Castiel's epic mancrush on Dean or, if you like, pre-slash Cas/Dean.

Warnings: language & Dean

Word count: ~2000

Disclaimer: SPN characters belong to Eric Kripke. All Buffy the Vampire Slayer references belong to Joss Whedon.

Summary: Dean gets stuck with doing the laundry. Laundromat disagrees.

Comments: I was supposed to do some laundry today. Laundromat disagreed. :D I was incredibly pissed off at automated things that don't freaking work and can't be overruled and decided to write it out. It took maybe 30 minutes and I feel so much better now – hopefully you'll enjoy it, too. XD

Title: Hear Me Now (2/2)

Author: angeltrap

Rating: Pg-13/T

Genre: Hurt/comfort with a side dish of fluff, humor, and a drop of angst and horror.

Pairings/characters: Cas/Dean + Sam

Word count: (Ch 2) ~4500

Warnings: Language, Dean, my sense of humor. :_D Spoilers up to 7x03. Wincesty jokes, though I'm not sure if this needs a warning – the actual show has way more of this and no warning at all...

Disclaimers: Since you probably already know that I don't own Supernatural, let me just point out that I don't own H. C. Andersen's Little Mermaid or M. G. Lewis's The Monk either, and have shamelessly borrowed and edited parts of them.

Summary: Dean had never been good at letting go of people he cared about. Castiel was no exception.

A/N: Can I consider this a finished multi-chaptered fic? Because I'm really bad at finishing multi-chaptered fics. XD

Seriously, though, I was so happy and thrilled about your encouraging comments on the first part, so thank you once more. ;_; Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be off to chew on my nails and be terrified that chapter 2 won't be as good...

Summary: Dean had never been good at letting go of people he cared about. Castiel was no exception.

A/N: I was so happy and encouraged by the response to my first SPN fic, Boredom, that I finally managed to finish one of my older projects. Yay! I'm still desperately shy and insecure about my work (this one particularly confused the hell outta me because I decided to alternate between present tense and past tense – I kept getting them mixed up, so please tell me if I failed to fix any of the slip-ups!), but I really wanted to do something with Cas, preferably with some Cas/Dean, and if I could label it a fix-it fic, even better!

The 'Now' parts take place during the 2-week gap in 7x03 – the rest are scattered all over seasons 5 and 6, I guess.
