So a while back I sat down and watched Kate & Leopold because I needed to see an English accent coming out of Hugh Jackman's face--for reasons--and I was so incensed about the failed promise of the way the movie set up Leopold and STUART that I was practically liveblogging it--but for days--

And then a few days ago for Christmas @satinsolace and @handsliketruth handed me a printed booklet of this fic that they wrote for me 😭❤🎄

IT'S THE CUTEST I LOVE IT I LOVE YOU BOTH

Stuart Besser's theory about time travel might be the first thing he's gotten right in his entire life.

--Or is it the last thing? It's kind of a pretzel, but if he doesn't get it right with His Grace Leopold Mountbatten, third Duke of Albany, too, Stuart--and the modern world--may never recover.

....

Dean’s dead asleep before they even reach the opening credits. 

Stock Halloween-themed interstitials roll with a cartoonish wolf howl as Dean’s head lolls against the back of the couch. Turned fully towards Dean in the dim, blinking orange light as Dean’s breathing evens out, Chuck doesn’t even bother to hide his surprise. 

Dean doesn’t just… fall asleep in front of him.

Or most anyone, really. Just Sam. John. Bobby, in some universes. And this Dean’s always some variation of tired; masking yawns all night at the bar, shadows long under his eyes. Maybe he’s finally just worn himself out, falling asleep in a puddle of empties, candy wrappers and old Halloween flicks just like half the pint-size trick-or-treaters in Cibola tonight (well, maybe minus the booze).

It takes Chuck aback in a way that a few handjobs couldn’t begin to. Sex is one thing; Deans are pretty easy lays, as a rule. Chuck considers this a feature. But letting his guard down? The pale smudge of his neck exposed for the ripping, mere feet from Chuck— Deans usually knew better than that. 

Deans should know better than that.

It’s fascinating.

As Chuck observes him, Dean’s eyes start to flit lazily behind his eyelids. The edges crumble off him, slow and then quick, like sandcastles after the tide. He looks younger than when he showed up on Chuck's doorstep that afternoon. Trusting, Chuck says to himself without a sound.

Chuck carefully notches down the TV volume with a twitch of his finger; the sudden silence of turning it off entirely would wake Dean as easily as turning it up. He takes this rare opportunity to study him, here and now, lit in the beatific glow of the CRT screen.

A moment of silence. No Pope has derived a title from one of the virtues for generations. Then applause of approval builds again. Holding the table for support, Lawrence sinks to his knees before the new Holy Father. Benitez stares down at him, smiling, thinking...
