What's your favourite headcanon of something that happened in the Impala?

omg anon

it depends on what you mean here...

my favourite regular headcanon? hunts are brutal, and hard, and kids are okay if you train them, but you've still got a thirteen year old with a shotgun and your life in his hands. a child is a child, even if you fill him with piss and vinegar and whisky and shake him like a snow globe. shit hits the wall. it goes bad. john gets fucked up on a hunt, and they have to stay in the car overnight because thirteen-year-old dean can't walk up to the front desk of a motel and ask for a room. sam and dean sleep in the backseat, curled together, and sam's crying because dad's blood is all over dean's hands and dean's stitches are sloppy-bad on dad's shoulder, keeping his neck together. dad's breathing is wheezy and quiet in the front seat and he pretended to fall asleep an hour ago, but everyone's awake. dean keeps whispering in sam's hair dad's okay, he's going to be okay, he's fine sammy, promise, but dean is fucking shaking because it's his fault and it's cold and he might wake up with a dead father in the front seat and a nine-year-old boy in his arms and no way to fix any of it.

my favourite wild-card headcanon? they hook with other people in the impala. a lot. leave the windows up, doors closed, so that the other can smell it as soon as they get in. let it sit. the first time it happens, dean's seventeen and he picks sam up at school after and sam's whole body goes rigid w the betrayal of it--kinda like someone else having sex in your bed. it's a competition after stanford--pre any kind of wincest, just a pavlovian fucked-up dare, almost, and the first person to roll down the windows and get the smell of your brother's come out of your nose is a loser.
