Hehe ya’ll won’t believe what I did! My family and I just got back from our holiday to Canada and America! We are from Australia for reference. While in America we went to Branson, Missouri to the Celebrity Car museum. It was so amazing. There we had the opportunity to take a photo in (almost) any car in the museum and you just know I had to take my photos in the Impala and the Lincoln from Supernatural! I almost cried I swear. They even had the giant Supernatural Funkos! But yeah here are some of my favourite photos from that experience (and my beautiful face lol). I would 100% recommend to go to the museum. The people there are lovely and are very knowledgeable about all the vehicles on their showroom floor. *whispers* someone there is a destiel shipper too. In Castiel’s Lincoln was Deans amulet hanging from the rear vision mirror. 😉

Sam Winchester 🤝 Tom Branson
Characters that are usually covered up in so many clothes that the fans end up going completely barmy for them whenever they show off their wrists and/or neck.

"Harry had more friends than this but their names aren’t well-known."
As he moved into his late 20s and 30s, Harold had a hardcore group of dudes bros. This is the group he hang out with more than the Van Cutsems or even the Van Strawberries and even Guy Pelly. Only Skippy and Charlie van Strawberry survived the semi-cull. 
You saw some of that new group in Vegas, while the press wasn't interested in showing them except for Skippy and Adam. Ps: Most people assumed Adam was one of the RPOs. 
These were:
Jake Warren - his daughter, Zalie,  was one of Harold's flower girls and is Harold's goddaughter. Jake's father is The Queen's racing manager Johnny Warren. 
Adam Bidwell - started out as a Sentabale ambassador and quickly became tight with Harold. He was the only one of Harold's friends who spoke to Meghan at that infamous polo match where She showed up with newborn Archie
Tom 'Skippy' Inskip - nuff said
Authur Landon - organised the Vegas trip. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2193095/What-Prince-Harry-did-BEFORE-Vegas-pal-took-gas-mask-costume-Bransons-Necker-Island.html Authur lives in Los Angeles part-time and is engaged to the owner of Chateau Marmont. Given how tight he was with Harold + being worth £200M + access of Chateau Marmont via his fiancee + filmaker, i assumed that the Sussexes would keep in with him. Also, Meghan used his dog on IG ( image of dog wearing union Jack) when she was leaking about the relationship with Harold)
Charlie Gilkes - Charlie and his wife are in one of the most notorious pics from that Meghan + Archie polo match looking at her with expressions of incredulity, worry, WTH ......
Sam Branson - this friendship lasted as long as the Cressida relationship because Sam is married to Cressida's sister Isabella. 
The interesting thing is that i don't think Arthur and Charlie G cut off Harold immediately because they were accidentally in the background of a photo Harold took with a fan whilst in a pub in Holland for Invictus 2022. Ditto Charlie Van Strawberry showing up in Montecito for a brief visit that ended up in an obviously staged papstroll with Harold. 
Once The Queen died, all of them distanced themselves from Harold. 
Ps: I think The Queen's death was a gamechanger for the Sussexes in a way that is best described as death by 1000cuts. Sure, some changes were huge and immediate and we can probably guess those, but the little, many tiny cuts that reveal themselves later also happened. Those will continue to reveal themselves forever ie into future Sussex generational descendants.

The Traveler - Chapter 19 - Mechoria Pt. 2
You're from a specific dimension, Solaris Eclipse. It was a dimension of magic. When your kind, the Eldrathiren, turned fifteen, your unique power would awaken within you. Most times, it was something small, levitation, teleportation, creation, elemental manipulation, and things like that. Once in a while, a fifteen-year-old would just disappear, and those were called Travelers. None of them had ever returned. Your parents had told you stories about them, and you hoped that wouldn't happen to you.
Please don't take my work. I'll post warnings for each chapter. Will probably be 18+ I haven't decided yet!
Word Count: 5815
Pairing Eventually Dean Winchester x OC Reader/You & Sam Winchester x OC Reader/You
Warnings: Navigating the inhabitants and how things work, missing the Earth. A/N: Don't think there's anything else in this one. It's fairly relaxed.
----------------------------------------- Chapter 19 - Mechoria Pt. 2
The sounds of morning pulled you from the comforts of sleep: birds chirping nearby, the horses in their fields, and the soft hum of steam going through pipes as gears turned somewhere. With a yawn and a nice big stretch, you sighed and opened your eyes. The bed had been surprisingly comfortable and at the moment, you weren’t ready to join the morning. Rolling onto your side, you reached your hand across the bed, wishing he was there, missing him again. 
How long before I can stay with them?
Giggling children outside pulled you from your thoughts, and you climbed out of bed. You dressed in something simple yet comfortable, returning your pouch and weapons to their usual places. Before sliding your bag over your shoulder, you made the bed as a small token of gratitude. Then, you headed outside to greet the day and the kind family.
Lily and Branson insisted you stay for breakfast, which you tried to decline, but the delicious smells convinced you otherwise. Afterward, Branson paid you, and Lily gave you a pouch to keep your Steamcoins in. The pouch had compartments for the different colors, and Lily kindly explained their values, blue being the most valuable. This job had only been worth a small amount, which Nix, at the Information Center, would pay you for later. What this family gave you was far more.
Blue, being the most valuable, was worth one hundred yellow coins.
Purple was worth fifty yellow coins.
Red was worth thirty yellow coins.
Orange was worth ten yellow coins.
Yellow, being the least valuable, was worth just one.
It was a system you’d need to get used to, but at least you had a pouch now to keep everything organized. Branson signed the paper from the bulletin board so you could get paid back to the city. After leaving the ranch, with both Branson and Lily hugging and thanking you again, you counted the Steamcoins they’d given you—twenty-five in total.
I’m going to need to pick up more of those jobs if I’m going to get a place to stay while I’m in this world. Then there’s food and perhaps other items I might need.
In your mind, you began making a list of things you’d need to look into, deciding to stay out of the more expensive area of the city for now. You’d also decided you weren’t going to look at any of the trinket stores either. Right now, those things weren’t important for just getting by. The city was bustling like it had been the day before. Today, a different guard stood at the gate, but he was just as friendly as the other one. You gave him a friendly smile as you looked around, mainly for an inn of sorts to stay in. There were definitely options scattered around the cheaper portions of the city. After about an hour of looking around, you settled on the one near a part of the town that wasn’t close to one of the bars in hopes that it wouldn’t get rowdy at night. They also offered three meals a day for the cost of two Steamcoins per meal, with the room being two Steamcoins per night. 
The innkeeper was a hog, not in his demeanor but in his appearance. However, he was actually rather nice. You’d decided to keep your age a secret, not sure what sort of rules this world had when it came to minors, and you weren’t eighteen yet. “Welcome to Kragthor Inn. How long will you be staying?” he asked with a friendly smile.
“I’d like to pay for a week. I don’t know yet how long I’ll be here,” you replied, pulling out enough coins to pay him.
“That’s okay. If you’d like one of the meals, just let one of the staff know, and they’ll make sure it’s brought to your room. Breakfast is at seven, lunch is at noon, and dinner is at six,” he explained, retrieving a room key from a cabinet where other keys hung.
“Thank you,” you replied, taking the key as he logged your information and collected your coins.
Heading up the wooden staircase, you found your room near the back of the hallway. Inside was a simple layout: a single bed, a desk, a dresser, a nightstand with a lamp, and a clock hung on the wall near the door. There was also a window that looked out into the city. You weren’t quite sure you trusted leaving your belongings in the room, never knowing when the scent would call you to move on from this world. 
Your next stop was the Information Center to collect your fifteen-coin payment and see what else was available. Nix was there again, almost surprised to see you back so soon. She instantly smiled, her tail twitching happily behind her.
“You’re back. How’d your first job go?” she asked quizzically.
Chuckling a little, you pulled the paper out of your pocket, “All taken care of.”
That really surprised her, “Really?” She then found Branson’s signature and almost wanted to ask what the creature was but restrained herself. Nix put the paper into one of the file boxes and got your payment. “Here ya go. If you have any fighting skills, there are some better-paying jobs listed today,” she offered.
“Thanks. I’ll have to take a look at those,” you replied with a smile, putting your coins in your pouch.
Although you had a room for a week, you needed to keep yourself fed, and some of your clothing needed either repairing or replacing. Reading over the available jobs on the board, you grabbed three of them. They were located in relatively the same area and seemed simple enough: killing a monster that had ventured out of the forest. Nix just watched you from behind the counter before she spoke up again.
“Hey, take this map if you’re heading out there for those,” she hollered, holding up a folded piece of paper.
“Oh, thanks,” you replied, returning to her and taking it. It was a fairly thick chunk of paper, but you just slid it into your bag for now.
Before heading out to find the monsters, you stopped by the library. You knew they had books that would give you more information on the monsters you had decided to take on. If you had more time, you would have relaxed and taken in the overall beauty of the place. You weren’t quite sure how, but you knew where the books were that you were seeking.
There was an entire section on monsters, with a vast collection of books ranging in thickness from simple pamphlets to books that would take days to read. You didn’t pay attention to the people there who were watching you, though you hadn’t really considered you’d be that much of an oddity. After finding the books you needed, you read through them, learning the little details about the monsters you’d chosen to take care of. It seemed simple enough: a well-placed attack in the right place, and it would be over. Your knife from Auqualumina could handle it easily, even if you’d have to get close. You missed your spear but knew that Bobby would take care of it for you.
The three monsters you were looking for were on the other side of the farms and in the forest you had passed when you had initially come to the city. You didn’t mind the walk as it was a beautiful day. The birds were chirping and fluttering about, and the bugs busied themselves among the flowers on either side of the road. The farmers were also out, tending to their fields. Some waved, while others just stared.
That made your mind wander. You remembered how Nix looked. She did have humanish features, but she also had short fur covering her body. She looked more cat-like in that regard. The longer your mind pondered it, the more you realized you probably looked similar to a hairless cat, like what you’d seen on the TV on Earth. You turned down a side road toward the forest, where the first monster was mentioned to have been harassing the farmers. The walk was peaceful, with the sounds of the farms capturing your attention. Strange creatures were in different pens, and you decided to get yourself acquainted better with the animal life of this world when your tasks were over. 
As you approached the forest, a strange sensation washed over you. The air felt charged as if filled with whispers you couldn’t quite make out. You took a deep breath, feeling the connection with this world tickle along your nerves. In a way, it reminded you of the night before, and at the same time, it felt vastly different.
Entering the forest, you reached a small clearing where the first monster was reported to be. Instead of an aggressive beast, you found a creature that looked more frightened than dangerous. It had the body of a wolf but with scales instead of fur and glowing green eyes that seemed to peer into your soul. Dean…
Your mind always went to him when you saw green eyes, and for a moment, you felt that ache in your soul again. Shaking the thought from your mind, you slipped your bag off your shoulder, then held your hands up with your palms facing the monster. You didn’t want to scare it; something within you told you it wouldn’t attack you.
“It’s okay,” you whispered, though you knew it couldn’t understand your words.
The creature looked at you, and you could practically see the confused look in its eyes when a soft hum filled your mind, like tuning into a distant frequency. Blurred images and confusing emotions drifted through your mind, and you knew they weren’t yours. You knelt down, maintaining eye contact.
Why are you here? you thought, hoping it would understand, as no words had played through your mind as they had with Lysara.
The creature’s eyes widened slightly, and a series of images and emotions flashed through your mind. You saw flashes of farmers attacking it, trying to drive it away from their fields. It wasn’t trying to harm them; it was just lost and hungry.
I understand. I won’t hurt you.
It seemed to relax a bit, and its stance was less defensive. You reached into your pouch and pulled out some dried meat, offering it in your hand. Hesitantly, it approached and took the food, its thoughts a little calmer now. You took a moment to study it now. It seemed young, at least from the reading you’d done at the library. Typically this creature ran in packs, deeper in the forest.
You pulled the map out of your bag, the creature just watching you curiously, and proceeded to unfold it. Your finger moved along the paper, tracing the path you’d taken to where you were now. Things were marked on the map of places where specific creatures lived, and you noticed where these creatures typically roamed.
I can point you in the direction, so you can get back to your pack.
With that thought, you looked up at the creature, and it tilted its head curiously at you. That made you giggle a little. It was kind of cute like that.
Your pack is that way, you told it, pointing toward your left, further into the forest, about half a day’s run.
The creature looked where you were pointing, then back at you, and nodded.
May I have one of your scales? I have to take something back to the city, so they know that I took care of you.
It was the nicest way you could put it. You didn’t want to tell it that you were supposed to kill it and just take one of its scales. The creature sat down and used its hind leg to scratch behind its ear, reminding you of a dog. Several of its scales flaked off in the process, and it used its nose to nudge them over to you. It licked you on the cheek, then took off into the forest before you even had a chance to thank it.
Well, that was different. I wonder how the next two will go.
You folded up the map, returning it to your bag, put the scales into your pouch from Lysara, and then slipped your bag back over your shoulder. With a sense of curiosity, you continued to where the next monster was said to be located. It wasn’t further into the forest, but to your right, still far too close to the farms nearby.
At first, you didn’t notice it, even with its size, as it blended well into its surroundings of the forest which towered above you. Once it moved, though, you nearly jumped, as it began sizing you up for a quick snack. The creature stood on all fours, resembling the cross between a bear and a lizard, with thick scales and sharp claws. You steadied yourself, slowing your breathing as you held your hands up, palms facing it.
I mean you no harm.
Its entire demeanor changed instantly, looking as surprised as you had when it had moved, and then it took a step back.
I want to help. Why are you here?
Images flooded your mind of destroyed habitat, encroaching farmers, and a desperate search for a new home. You felt instant sympathy for it and sat down, pulling out the map again. The creature watched you, slowly getting closer as it looked down at what you were doing. Occasionally, its tongue would flick out and taste the air.
There’s a place to the west. It looks similar to the images you showed me of where you used to live.
You pointed to where you were on the map and then to where you suggested it could go.
Do you understand? Can you find that place? It even has a stream there.
The creature tilted its head a bit as it looked down at the map, then it looked at you. You smiled a little, then pointed in the direction of the area, and its gaze followed your hand before it looked back at you. The creature growled softly, or perhaps it was similar to a type of purr; you weren’t sure. Then, in the blink of an eye, it was moving in that direction, far faster than you had thought it could move, given its size. You hadn’t even gotten a chance to ask it for a scale.
Sighing, you put the map away, and as you slipped your bag over your shoulder, you noticed that the light shimmered off of something in the grass. You reached down and picked it up, smiling; a scale that had fallen off. You slipped that into your pouch as you continued along to the next location.
These monsters aren’t monsters at all. They’re just scared, or their homes have been torn down and clear-cut for more farmland. They just want to live like the other inhabitants of this world.
You felt a new sense of purpose for being in this world. Perhaps the scent you’d been following pulled you here to help these creatures. You still hadn’t forgotten about the clock tower either. Something was going on in this world, and you were determined to find out what.
The third creature was a bit further into the forest but still close to the farms. When you came upon it, it nearly took your breath away as it stared down at you from a high branch in one of the trees. In a way, it reminded you of a monkey, but far larger, crossed with the armor of an armadillo and the eyes of a hawk. It had long, sharp claws on each of its four arms and two legs, and it was all white.
As with the last two, you held your hands up, palms facing it, slowly slipping your bag from your shoulder. I’m not here to hurt you. It looked at you just as puzzled and curiously as the prior two had. I want to help. Why are you here? 
Images flooded your mind of a smaller one that looked similar to this one. It had wandered off, and this one had been searching for it, daring to venture into the farmers' lands as its search in the forest had been empty. You also saw images of the farmers attempting to attack it when it went to search a barn.
I want to help. Let me go look for the little one, and I’ll bring it back to you. Will you trust me?
It looked skeptical but also curious, and then it nodded its head. At least you knew what you were looking for and a general area. You slipped your bag back over your shoulder and headed toward the area you’d seen in the images the creature had shared with you. Luckily, it wasn’t a far walk. 
There were four different barn-type buildings on the other side of a fence, similar to the one at the ranch. You hopped the fence, heading for the closest one when what you figured was a guard “dog” sort of creature came bounding at you. It wasn’t barking, though; it was bellowing, similar to the one at Branson’s ranch.
I’m not here to make trouble. I’m trying to find a frightened creature.
The “dog” instantly stopped in its tracks while you continued to the barn. For a moment, it watched you, then ran over to one of the other barns and bellowed at you again. An image of small, yellow eyes hiding in the hay played through your mind. You smiled a little and headed over to that barn instead.
Thanks, you thought to the “dog” as you pat it on the head before entering the barn. It stayed outside while you looked around. This looked to be used as hay storage with miscellaneous farm tools. Your ears twitched, carefully listening for any sort of movement as you walked toward one of the stacks of hay. Well, it reminded you of hay anyway.
You finally heard something scurrying along the rafters, and when you looked up, you saw those two little yellow eyes from the image the “dog” showed you. The last thing you wanted to do was scare the poor thing further. You slipped your bag off your shoulder and held your hands up, palms facing it, as that had seemed to work with the other creatures.
I’m here to help. I found the other one like you, and it’s worried about you. I’d like to take you back to it. Will you trust me?
For a while, it stared at you like you had two heads, but you could tell it was curious. It slowly got closer, climbing down from the rafters to the second floor of the barn, and sat on the ledge, still staring at you. The “dog” watched from just outside the barn door. The little creature's eyes went from you to the “dog” and then back to you, tilting its head.
I promise, I just want to help you.
It seemed to take a while longer, but it finally climbed down. You crouched down so you were more on its level. It gingerly approached you, but all you did was hold out your hand and give it a soft smile. It sniffed your hand before getting close enough to touch your hand, almost as if it was inspecting it and perhaps even curious as to why you had no fur. Eventually, it looked up at you and an image of the larger one getting chased off by the farmers went through your mind. You sympathized with the small creature for what it had been through, then slowly held out both your hands. It climbed into your arms, and you scooped it up, grabbed your bag, and then stood.
Time to get you back to your friend.
It almost made a purring sound, which made you smile. You were so focused on helping the small creature that you didn’t notice the farmer watching you the entire time. You made your way back to the fence and hopped back over it, then made your way back to the other creature in the forest. The farmer decided to follow you just to see what was going on, as this was something completely new to their world.
I found it, you thought as you reached the area where the other creature had been. It came down from the tree and approached you. That’s when you realized just how large it was, nearly as tall as you when it stood on its hind legs. You also realized now that it was, in fact, a she, and this was her child. You gently handed her the child, May I have a clipping of one of your claws? I need to take it back so that no one else comes looking for you.
She then nodded and bit one of her claws, handing you the piece before taking off into the forest and back to wherever her home was. You still hadn’t noticed the farmer watching you from behind a nearby tree as you watched the two leave.
“Well, that should take care of that,” you said out loud to no one but felt happy you were able to help them and hadn’t had to actually kill any of them.

“You’re seriously done with all three of those?!” Nix exclaimed when you set the papers and items down on the counter.
“Yeah. Why do you look so surprised?” you asked her, a little puzzled.
She stared at you blankly for a moment, having to pull herself out of her shock. “Normally, someone only takes one, and it takes all day for them to complete it. Plus, they typically come back looking like they got into a fight. You—you’re clean!” she told you, still in a mild state of shock.
“Uh, I did my research before I headed out?” you replied with a nervous chuckle, scratching the back of your head. You didn’t want to tell her that you’d saved the creatures, as that didn’t seem to be how things were done here.
Nix wasn’t sure what to say. You were new to the city, so there was a sense of mystery around you. Plus, it was clear you were feline, but you also lacked the fur of the species. She wanted to ask you so many more questions, but it wasn’t allowed due to the restrictions of her job. She sighed and pulled out your payment, sixty Steamcoins.
“Have you thought about joining one of the guilds? With how talented you clearly are, there are several of the high-class ones that would be interested in you,” she explained as she filed the papers into the correct places in the filling cubbies.
“That’s an offer I’ll have to decline. I’m not sure how long I’ll be staying. I’ll see you tomorrow, though,” you replied, waving to her as you headed outside and back to the room you’d rented.
Before you went upstairs, you paid for a meal, knowing the little you had left in your pouch would only hold you over until then. Sitting on your bed, you unpacked your bag, inspecting your items as you ate one of the sweets from the Hatter. At least half of your articles of clothing would need replacing unless you wanted to repair them, again. 
The flannel Dean had given you, along with two pairs of pants, three shirts, and three pairs of socks, went back into your bag. The rest of the items, which were wearing more than thin and couldn’t be used for anything, went into the trash. You only kept one of the shirts to use as emergency rags or bandages. 
Since you still had nearly three hours before dinner would be served, you slipped your bag over your shoulder and headed downstairs. You found the innkeeper behind the desk. “Excuse me, where is the best place to get some clothes that aren’t expensive?” you asked him.
“That would be Fluff N’ Stuff a few blocks away. She’s got the best prices in the area for quality clothes,” he replied with a friendly smile, which you were still getting used to. It wasn’t every day you saw a hog smile.
“Thanks.” was all you said as you headed out and to the shop. 
You glanced at the merchants and shops as you walked down the busy street. There were so many interesting things you wanted to look at, but you reminded yourself that you had to take care of the essential things first. Sometimes, you hated having to be responsible.
Fluff N’ Stuff was a larger shop than the others in the area. When you went inside, you weren’t quite sure what you were expecting, but it was not what you saw. It was extremely spacious, with several racks of clothes in all sorts of styles and colors. Along the walls were cubbies containing more articles of clothing, shoes, hats, and other miscellaneous accessories. 
What threw you for a loop was when you saw the shop owner, or at least hoped that was who you were now staring at. From her waist down, she looked like a spider with eight legs, and from the waist up, she looked completely human. You hadn’t even realized you were staring or that your mouth had fallen open in utter surprise and awe until she approached you.
“Good afternoon. What can I help you with?” she asked in the softest voice you’d ever heard, snapping you out of your state of shock.
She was a vision of elegance, her appearance striking yet inviting. Her upper half was distinctly human, adorned in a simple yet elegant blouse that complemented her soft features. She had long, flowing brown hair that cascaded down her back in gentle waves, framing a face that exuded warmth and kindness. Her eyes were a deep, calming brown, full of wisdom and a hint of curiosity. Her skin was smooth and fair, with a natural glow that added to her ethereal beauty. 
Tumblr media
From the waist down, her body transformed into that of a spider, but not in a way that evoked fear. Her spider legs were slender and graceful, each movement smooth and fluid. The exoskeleton was muted, soft brown, matching her hair and blending seamlessly with her overall appearance. There was no trace of the usual creepiness associated with spiders. Instead, her lower half had a certain elegance and sophistication, enhancing her unique charm.
She moved with a quiet grace, her eight legs making no sound on the wooden floor. Despite her unusual form, there was a softness to her demeanor and a gentleness in her expression that immediately put you at ease. Her presence was soothing, and her smile was warm and genuine, making you feel welcome and comfortable in her shop.
You took a moment to compose yourself and did your best not to stare at her lower half. “I, uh, was told this was the nicest place to get some clothes,” you finally explained, still in a mild state of awe.
“I’m Arina,” she replied with a quiet giggle as she covered her mouth, finding you rather adorable. “I’m going to guess you’ve never seen a Silkith before, have you?”
“Uh, no, I haven’t. It’s… nice to meet you,” you stammered, still trying to process her appearance.
“Don’t worry, I get that reaction a lot. Silkith typically don’t live in cities. Now, let’s see what we can find for you,” she said warmly, her spider legs moving gracefully as she led you deeper into the store. “What are you looking for specifically?”
You glanced around the racks of clothes. “I need some sturdy pants and shirts, preferably something that can handle a bit of rough travel. Also, some socks and maybe a spare jacket.” Arina nodded, her eyes twinkling with understanding. “Got it. Follow me.” She moved gracefully, leading you toward one of the racks near the far wall. She pulled out a few pairs of pants and a few shirts from the rack across from it. They all looked quite durable. “These should do the trick. They’re made from a blend of cotton and a local plant fiber. Very resilient.”
You took the clothes from her, letting your fingers slide across the fabric. Not only did it feel comfortable, but it also felt far more durable than what you already owned. “These are perfect. Thank you.”
She smiled, clearly pleased. “Let’s find you some socks and a jacket next. Any particular color you’re fond of?”
Her question made your heart almost sink, Dean…
“Emerald or forest green,” you replied, far quieter than before.
Arina looked down at you, concern finding its way into her soft features, “You’re missing someone,�� she remarked softly. “I have just the color. Come with me.” She moved to another rack, but you weren’t looking at her. You were remembering how sad Dean had looked on the day you ended up in Wonderland, how his emerald green eyes had almost seemed to dim with the dampness of tears he refused to shed.
Arina grabbed half a dozen pairs of plain socks out of one of the cubbies before sifting through the rack of jackets, finding one that was a forest green and very sturdy. “This jacket is water-resistant and has plenty of pockets. It should be handy for your travels.”
It was the same color as his eyes, and you almost debated getting a different color. “Thanks,” you replied, taking the jacket from her. A tear slipped down your cheek.
“Everything okay?” she asked with growing concern.
“I just miss them, that’s all,” you replied, taking a slow, deep breath and looking up at her. 
“Want to talk about it? I know I’m a stranger, but sometimes it helps talking to a stranger instead of someone you know well,” she offered with a sincere smile.
Her kindness made you smile a little. “I appreciate that, and I might take you up on that, just… not today. Thank you for your help with all this. What do I owe-”  Before you could finish your question, something dark blue caught your eye on a rack not far from where you were standing.
You tilted your head a bit as you walked over to it, Arina following you, “See something else?” she asked.
Even with the articles of clothing draped over your arm, you pulled the thing off its rack to look at it—a beautiful dark blue dress. It wasn’t fancy or anything, but it had the most beautiful design of flowers and vines in black from the waist down. The sleeves were short but loose, with a little extra fabric like the skirt of the dress.
“I could modify it for you,” Arina offered, seeing how your eyes almost sparkled as you examined the dress’ simple elegance.
“Oh, I couldn’t… it’s not practical,” you stammered, then went to put it back on the rack, but Arina plucked it from your hand.
“Nonsense. Every girl should have at least one nice dress,” she insisted kindly, then headed to the counter with the other items she was still holding.
With a sigh, you followed her and set the items down on the counter, “I can’t afford things like that right now,” you told her, seeing it as a frivolous expense, wishing she’d understand.
“Alright. Then it’ll be on trade. You can share your story with me in exchange for the dress. In three days, we’ll go to the tavern just up the block, around eight. I’ll buy if need be, and you can tell me your story,” she told you with a soft yet stern tone, and you knew there was no way you were getting out of this.
You looked back down at the dress on the counter, then back up at her, “Alright. It seems like a fair trade,” you replied with a thoughtful smile, beginning to wonder what she’d think of all you would end up sharing with her. “What do I owe you?”
Arina looked at the items, then folded each one neatly before looking up at you, “Thirty Steamcoins. I’ll bring the dress when I see you again. It will be modified for your tail.”
Once you paid her, you put everything in your bag, told her you’d see her in three days, then went back to the inn. Your mind was on the brothers again, as that had been the only reason you had even looked at the dress. At least in your room at the inn, it was quiet. You guessed that perhaps it was magic that kept the sounds of the bustling city streets at a dull roar outside your closed window while you sat on the bed. 
I still have so much to learn about this world. Why do I feel like I need to go to the Clock Tower, and why can I communicate with the creatures and no one else can? I doubt that I’ll be able to keep a low profile here for very long.
The last thought made you sigh as you leaned against the headboard when there was a knock on your door. “Come in.”
A male hog, who looked like he was in his teens, opened your door with a plate of food in hand. “You ordered dinner,” he told you with a friendly tone, bringing it in and setting it on your desk.
“Thank you,” you replied as he was leaving.
He nodded and closed your door, leaving you alone with your dinner and thoughts. Of course, those didn’t stop, even as you sat at your desk and began eating, finding the meal delicious.
There is definitly something strange going on here, and I have to figure out what it is and why I feel like I’m the only one who notices or can do anything about it. Will I be stuck here until I figure it out? I miss them…
After you ate, you clicked off the light and crawled into the bed. You felt homesick, but not for your home world, for Earth, the brothers, and even John. After your last visit to Earth, you felt lonelier these days than you had before that. You knew that it was because of how close you and the brothers had been with each other. Going to sleep in Dean’s arms and waking up to him in the mornings was a feeling you were missing, especially now. You missed the comfort and safety being in his arms brought and the peace that had come from his and Sam’s scent always being around you.

“The impala, of course, Has all the things other cars have...and a few things they don't. But none of that stuff's important. This is the stuff that's important. The army man that Sam crammed in the ashtray --it's still stuck there. The legos that Dean shoved into the vents --to this day, heat comes on and they can hear 'em rattle. These are the things that make the car theirs --really theirs. Even when Dean rebuilt her from the ground up, he made sure all these little things stayed, 'cause it's the blemishes that make her beautiful”
Here she is folks in all her glory! I loved every second of drawing The Impala and I hope you love her too. Drawing is based off a photograph I took of her at the Celebrity Car Museum in Branson Missouri.

Title: Be Told WC: 900 
��Why you gotta ruin the dream?”
—Richard Castle, One Man’s Treasure (2 x 10)
It really does sound dirtier than he meant it. He only meant to needle her with a backhanded compliment and wag of the eyebrows, but he really didn’t mean for it to sound that dirty. That’s . . . rather a shock to the system, how the truth slips right out of his mouth. He tells himself she hasn’t noticed—or that she takes the admission as a lie, which is just as good as her not noticing, isn’t it? Either way, his charmingly caddish, pleasantly salacious image is intact, so no harm done. 
He’s not really convinced. He’s about as convinced as she was, judging from the what the hell? look she’d given him before  the next element of the case had mercifully swooped in to save him—possibly to save both of them—from this version of himself, the one who does not intend to double every possible entendre. 
He has the sinking feeling that there’s no saving anyone from this . . . outbreak of sincerity. But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t try to explain it away. He starts by invoking Coco Chanel. This case has had him hitting the cad button hard as he celebrates every clichéd aspect of Sam Parker/Jake Holland’s scam. Even he can admit that his performative glee at the eleventh hour possibility that the man had been juggling a third relationship before his death had been a bit over the top. So perhaps the unexpected truth was simply the equivalent of removing one accessory before he left the house, as it were. 
But he can put himself down as “not particularly convinced” on that front, too. For one thing, the way he’d gone after Sarah Reed/Laura Branson in the interrogation—the way he’d delighted in letting her know she’d been made and played—had marked him as clearly, enthusiastically, and maybe even a little bit pathetically team Sam/Jake. 
And why, exactly, is that, he wonders? On the surface, their crimes are equivalent. He never loved her, she never loved him, et cetera, et cetera. Theoretically, there’s some relevant aphorism about geese and ganders that should map on to James Bond and Mata Hari or something. 
There’s a desperate moment when he tries to convince himself that he’s reacting to the fact of Sarah/Laura’s surprise six-year-old—that he’s whipsawed from lamely trying to reassure the woman that Sam/Jake might have loved her to wanting to strip her of every illusion regarding her professional bad-assery. He tries to conjure the most Dickensian image he can of the presumably fatherless inconvenience Sarah/Laura had to tuck away somewhere fairly frequently. But he doesn’t know any of that for certain—she might be a perfectly successful coparent and a professional liar. And it’s not as though Sam/Jake wasn’t all but abandoning his two kids so he could go play corporate spy. 
There’s the dismal possibility that he’s not just a cad, he’s a cad with double standards, and that’s not exactly charming. There’s nothing pleasant about it, is there? 
Even this late in the game, he’d like to think it’s something like the anti-Coco principle. Going for their Mata Hari’s throat comes after his brush with sincerity, so perhaps he’s just compensating. Or perhaps it’s even simpler than that. This might be a case of another missed mark, as his mother would say, and today is simply not going to go down in history as one of his better performances. 
But he finds himself right back in Unconvinced, population him, once again. There’s something else going on with him—something this case is bringing uncomfortably to the surface. 
He has a flailing, unclear sense that it has something to do with Alexis being on the fringes of of all this, diligently working, unsurprisingly taking on a compassionate mission along the way. 
He is aware on some level that he is less okay with the sudden overlap between his two worlds than he would like to be. He would like to be purely proud and pleased that his daughter is interested in the work he is doing here. He would like to be able to tell her outright that he’s proud of both her and this work in which he’s found unexpected meaning He would like to be grateful, without complications, that Beckett has been so generous with not just her time, but such warm approval. He’d like to thank her—truthfully, sincerely—for making his daughter light up like that.  
But he’s nervous, truth be told. He’s in unknown territory with this young woman who, he feels certain, was a little girl just yesterday. The rules of engagement on the home front are changing minute-by-minute, and he counts on things being just so at the precinct. He counts on hitting his marks, knowing his lines, and never missing a beat. And now he seems to be losing the thread of who he actually is and who it is he pretends to be, because this is their dynamic—his and Beckett’s: He is the cad, she is the long-suffering straight arrow, cursed to have him tagging along, breaking into applause for his fellow rogues and running a cottage industry in innuendo. 
Truth be told, he’s more than nervous, he’s afraid. He strongly suspects his cover has been  blown. He’s the one who blew it in a moment of unexpected truth: That sounded dirtier than I meant it. 
A/N: Wut? What a weird one, Brain Poneh; but I was struck by Castle's nerves about Alexis and the way he's a bit too hung ho about some of the scam elements, both in terms of admiring Sam/Jake and going after Sarah/Laura
