To Matty Winchester, there are three perfect things in the world. Cowboys, cheese sandwiches, and his big brothers. Other than that, everything kinda sucks.
The thing that sucks the most, in his opinion, is this stupid demon business he's caught up...

DISCLAIMERS:
1. i obviously do not own any of the characters in this fic, apart from matty.
2. matty is autistic. while i am also autistic, i have never been an autistic eight-year-old boy, on account of the fact that i am a teenage girl. i'm going to try to write matty as best i can, but if i've represented him in a way that you feel isn't right or is feeding into stereotypes or smth, please let me know!!! i don't want to make anyone uncomfortable and i'm always happy and willing to receive constructive criticism 🫶🏻
3. also! matty's dad is not always the nicest to him, and a big part of that is because of his autism and the traits he displays because of it. he picks at him for stimming and stuff like that, so just a warning in advance for ableism
