Comfort Crowd Δ SPN [ 1 ]

070. BOOK SERIES

After figuring out the whole thing with Anna, the brothers left the girls at Bobby's for their next few cases. Libby was reluctant to stay there without Sam, but he promised that him and Dean would be back soon. Dean promised her that if Sam didn't return she could have all the ice cream in the world.

They got together for Pamela's funeral after she died helping the brothers with a case. Ophelia was the most effected, Dean doing his best to comfort the grieving girl.

The girls stayed with the brothers after the funeral, but had to stay in the motel after Uriel and Castiel basically kidnapped Dean so he could interrogate Alastair. Ruby and Sam were able to find where they were and the girls had to stay in the car while everything was dealt with.

Now, they're in town for a case and the brothers visited a comic book store earlier, only to find books based on them.

The four are in the motel room, one book covered in all of the books about them. Dean is on the free bed, resting his back against the headboard as he reads one of the books. Sam is sitting at the table by the window and on his laptop with Libby on his lap. Ophelia is lying on the bed with her feet on Dean's lap as she reads a Magic Treehouse book, Dean not letting her read the Supernatural books.

"This is freakin' insane. How's this guy know all this stuff?" Dean asks.

"You got me." Sam mutters.

"Everything is in here. I mean everything. From the racist truck to-- to me having--" Dean cuts himself off as he glances between the two girls. "Spending time with Cassie." He says. "How come we haven't heard of them before?"

Dean gently takes Ophelia's legs off of him and puts the book down before getting up. Ophelia, seeing him not looking, grabs the book he just had. She opens it, but Dean quickly snatches the book from her.

"Nope. No. Hell no. Do not touch any of these." Dean orders.

"But I wanna read about us." Ophelia whines.

"No. No, you do not." Dean states. "You lived it, just focus on your memories."

"Can I read them? I don't remember everything that's happened." Libby says.

"No." Sam tells her.

"You guys are no fun." Ophelia pouts.

"Baby girl, trust me, I'm saving you a lifetime of trauma." Dean tells her.

"I already lived through it, though." Ophelia counters.

"Yes, but there's just some things that you should not read. And these books are one of them." Dean says. "You read one, you're grounded."

"These books are pretty obscure. I mean, almost zero circulation. Uh, started in '05. The publisher put out a couple dozen before going bankrupt. And, uh, the last one -- "No Rest for the Wicked" -- ends with you going to Hell." Sam informs, turning the computer to Dean who sits next to him.

"I reiterate. Freaking insane." Dean says, browsing the website. "Check it out. There's actually fans. There's not many of them, but still. Did you read this?"

"Yeah." Sam nods.

"Although for fans, they sure do complain a lot. Listen to this -- Simpatico says "the demon storyline is trite, cliched, and overall craptastic." Yeah, well, screw you, Simpatico. We lived it."

"Yeah. Well, keep on reading. It gets better." Sam says.

"There are Sam girls and Dean girls and-- what's a slash fan?" Dean asks.

"As in... Sam-slash-Dean. Together." Sam says.

"Like, together together?" Dean asks.

"Yeah." Sam nods.
