dean and cas take toddler jack to the beach and jack is tugging on cas' hand and chanting 'daddy, ocean ocean' and cas leads jack to the water and they walk through the soft lapping waves. together, they all build sandcastles and jack collects a whole box full of seashells. they point out little starfish and jack points out "look, dad, crabs" so dean teaches jack about all the crabs and sea turtles they see. by the end of the day, jack is tired and dean hoists jack onto his shoulders and they watch the sunset with jack falling asleep with his head pressed against dean's hair and cas' hand wrapped warmly around dean's forearm.

Day six/last day of the @transbearbenny 200 follower count celebration. It’s been fun, y’all.

Free Space: Prophet!Benny

It’s the middle of the afternoon and Dean’s been out all week. Benny thinks Sam went with him, out on some hunt for a Vitala. “No, you can’t come. Just watch the kid. Maybe some tv.” Sounds nasty.

Kevin’s passed out on the kitchen table, God-rock sitting pretty next to him

Benny knows he’s not supposed to touch it or look it or think about it. Every time he even comes into the kitchen Dean ushers him out and promises to make whatever he wants most. Dean refuses to go to the nearest blood bank and steal a few pints of A positive for him. What typa friend…

So, yeah. Benny touches it anyway. He holds it up and his big old fingers and sets his eyes on the symbols. They swim in front of his face for a second before sharpening into clarity.

Who said this was hard? It’s like a slight pressure on his temples. Like the pre-pre-cursor to a migraine. Benny fills a glass of water and gulps it down and the feeling fades. Benny imagined more drama. Maybe his eyes would burn out, which would suck, or, he doesn’t know, wounds would suddenly open on his skin. But no, he looks at the symbols and they look back at him. There’s a symbol with a twist at the end like a pogo stick- that’s lamb’s blood.

He thought this would be harder. Isn’t Kevin supposedly the only one that can translate this thing? The only prophet around?

Benny grabs a big piece of paper and a pencil from Sam’s room. He spends the next twenty minutes translating to the symbols from what they mean in his mind to the words in English. By the end he’s got a recipe for a spell with the annoying sort of foreword Dean complains about while he cooks.

It’s only when he’s putting the notebook down next to Kevin’s practically comatose body that he remembers why he came here in the first place.

The video thingy is broken. VCR. See had what happened was that Benny put the tape in like Dean instructed, some sort of movie about a man dying and meetin’ his maker. When the time came that the video was over Benny wanted to switch it out for a new one, Some Like It Hot, but the damn tape wouldn’t come out! In all his hee-ing and haw-ing the whole thing crashed onto the concrete ground and broke into a million pieces.

Fuck him.

Alright. Guess that means he’s going to the store. How much can a new VCR cost? Two dollars? He does in fact know how to drive even if he doesn’t know how to get gasoline. He asks the pretty sounding lady in the car machine on how to get to a tv store. She points him Northwest.

He arrives at an asymmetrical monstrosity of a building. Best Buy a great big tag reads on the store front. Even Benny in his old ways knows that combination of yellow and blue makes for sore eyes.

He walks through the magic sliding doors and is met by a teenager with a sparse mustache and similarly disconcerting blue shirt.

“Hi, sir! How can I help you?” The kid’s voice is squeaky and grates Benny’s already frayed nerves. He takes a deep breath and plants his feet.

“I- uh- I need a VCR. Mine had an accident.” Practically killed itself, via Benny of course.

The teenager tilts his head at Benny, “We don’t sell VCRs anymore. But we can get you a DVD player.”

“Dee-vee-dee?”

The boy, Benny shoots a look to his name tag, Mason exhales hard through his nose.

“It’s like a VCR but instead of VHS tapes you buy in DVDs.”

All the acronyms are starting to be too confusing. “I just need a VCR.”

Mason puts his hands on his hips, “You’ll have to buy one online then. We don’t sell them here.”

“Fine.” Benny turns to make his way back to the car.

“Fine!” says Mason behind him. Benny shoots him a glare and he shrinks down.

How’s he gonna explain this to the Winchesters?

Turns out that’s not even his first problem when he gets back to the bunker. Sam and Dean and Kevin are all gathered in the kitchen facing the table. Sam is gripping his head, Dean’s frozen in place, and Kevin is furiously pointing at the piece of paper Benny left next to his head.

“That was not me! I woke up and there it was, completed, right next to my sleeping head,” Kevin starts pacing, “Oh, God. What if this is threat? What if someone is saying they could have killed me? Why would they even leave the Demon tablet? What if they took Benny for ransom?”

“Well that wouldn’t make any sense considering I’m right here.” All three boys turn to look at him.

“Benny! You’re alive!” Kevin throws his arms around Benny’s neck.

Benny pats his back for a while, “Yeah just went out to buy something.” Kevin lets go.

“So you don’t know who did this?”

“I do,” Benny takes a deep breath, “I translated it.”

He’s immediately hit with a face full o’ holy water.

“Thanks for that,” he swipes a hand down his face. “‘M not a demon.”

Dean pushes him up against the wall, forearm to his chest, “So what are you, then? And what have you done with Benny?”

“It’s me! I’m just Benny.”

“Yeah, right.” Dean pushes away from him and picks up the paper to examine it.

Sam speaks up from next to him, “Benny, how did you translate this?”

“I don’t know,” Benny shoves his hands in his pockets, “I just looked at the rock and suddenly the words popped in my head. Figured it’d be a waste if I didn’t write them down for y’all.”

“I thought there could only be a single prophet at once?” Dean pipes up.

Sam shifts on his feet, “Maybe Benny doesn’t really count as alive. I mean aside from being undead he also literally died and went to the afterlife.”

“But he came back.”

Sam shrugs, “Maybe it doesn’t matter in the eyes of God.”

Everyone’s staring at Benny now, the preassure’s rising- “I broke the video player thing!” He blurts out, slapping a hand over his mouth.

“You What?!” Dean storms past him to get to the machine.

Benny turns to Sam, “I was trying to take the tape out and the whole thing just crashed on the floor.”

Sam claps him on the shoulder, “It’s alright. Probably time to upgrade to DVD anyway.”

“That’s what the guy at the store said too.”

Kevin’s sunk to the floor by this point, head in hands, he’s rocking back and forth.

“Am I a fraud? Is my life a lie? Am I even real?” He looks at Benny and Sam, “Can you guys see me?”

“Yeah we can see you just fine.”

Sam crouches down to sit next to Kevin on the floor, “Just means you get to take a break now.”

Kevin nods his head and gets up, he walks to Benny’s side, “Thanks, for helping me out.”

“‘Course.”

Kevin nods his head and leaves the kitchen, presumably for his room.

Sam turns to Benny, “How are you holding up with all of this?”

“I feel bad about breaking Dean’s VH- whatever.”

“No, I meant like- the demon tablet.”

“Oh.” Benny thinks, he doesn’t feel any different, “I don’t feel anything new.”

Sam sweeps him up and down with his eyes like he’s checking for a physical change. “Don’t feel too bad about Dean’s VHS. If he really wants another one he can find it online.”

“I have money if that’ll help,” Benny holds out his crinkled $10 bill.

“Yeah,” the word moves out Sam’s mouth slowly, “thanks.”

Benny feels strangely accomplished.

They all take a break to go to the beach. Kevin’s so pale from having been underground for months that he gets tanlines on the tops of his feet.

Benny enjoys the feeling of swim shorts against his leg hair and catches Dean looking once or twice at how the stretch waist digs into his belly. He’s got a fruity drink in hand with a bright pink parasol to boot.

When the new VHS finally comes, Dean bans Benny from operating it.

That’s all good by him, the damn thing is impossible to use anyway.

When a new word-o’-God comes by Benny’ll take a look. Take a load off the kid.

Life on top isn’t so bad when he’s got a family.

alternatively. dean stubbornly refuses to wear sunscreen because 1. he's a Man he doesn't get sunburnt, and 2. reason mentioned above.

but he does end up getting badly sunburnt and then cas has to rub aloe on his back while dean whines and complains that it huuuuurts and cas rolls his eyes and he tries to be more gentle and dean ends up relaxing into it and.... yeah they couldn't show that either

i think I’ve said this before but they couldn’t have a beach episode because someone would have to put sunscreen on dean’s back and it definitely wasn’t going to be sam

Spn poetry month - Day 24 + 25 : Touch + Joy

@spnpoetryrenaissance​​

kind of inspired by my beachnatural truthing au and also i just want them to be happy idk

Transcription under the cut

i think it was a thursday

we sat at the beach and we ate pizza rolls you didn't go in the water, but you dug a hole in the sand, and buried your feet in it. i tried it, too, but didn't like it. i much preferred to have my feet on top of your feet, sand between us and sun and cool air on my skin.

i read you some chapters from a book, and you pointed out the passages you liked. i circled them in pencil which made a nice sound on the page. you fell asleep on your back, your hand still inside the packet of pizza rolls, and got a sunburn—your nose and cheeks were red all week.

this is the day i think about most, when we are lying on top of each other, legs around legs, skin against skin, when you're at your most vulnerable and trusting i remember you at the beach. your feet in the sand, safe enough to not have an escape plan, shooing away seagulls and laughing at their insistence.

when we are lying together like this, i do not picture you angry (though you often are); i do not picture you swinging a weapon or muttering incantations (though you often do); i picture you and me near the sea, no plans, suspended in time, no duty but to be happy.
