Prompt: Dean + Sam, explanation
"There is totally a good explanation for this," Dean says as Sam walks in the door.
Sam looks around, taking in the soapsuds covering the floor, every piece of furniture, the walls, and... parts of the ceiling?
"I'm sure," he replies, raising an eyebrow, and crosses his arms across his chest as he waits to hear it.

Prompt: Tony/Tim, past relationships
Tim had three fairly serious girlfriends and one boyfriend he thought he'd spend his life with, before Tony.
Tony had a series of flings, one very serious boyfriend, and Jeanne, before Tim.
None of those others ever knew either of them so well, and Tony knows he'll die before he ever leaves Tim; Tim knows, too, that Tony's what he's always dreamed of and never really expected to get.

Prompt: Peter, why is it always Neal's undercover ops that go wrong like this?
There were never so many calamities before Neal Caffrey joined the team. Peter chose the white collar division for a reason, and that was to avoid the violence inherent in crime.
Neal seems to draw out the explosive reactions from criminals, and Peter's not sure exactly why, but… he'll keep saving the kid, and not just because he's the good guy and that's what good guys do.

Prompt: the sisters, a world without magic
There are no demons, there is less blood, no screaming in terror, and only fear of accidents but not truly of death.
There is no orbing, no premonitions, no ghosts and not a single demon to be found.
There is no Power of Three, and no Heir of Magic, no time travel or end of the world, and Piper wonders if it was worth it.

Prompt: any, it's always winter in hell
Dean comes back in autumn, before the chill sets in and the world freezes again. For awhile there, he doesn't even notice the weather, too shocked at being alive.
(He dreams of fire, at first, since he can't remember. He dreams of fire, and in his sleep, he's warm.)
He doesn't flinch from matches or lighters, doesn't jerk back from the flames in graves. He's not afraid of fire, and Sam wants to ask, he can see it in the kid's eyes. But Sam holds his tongue, and holds his brother, and Dean stands beneath the sky, eyes toward the sun.
(He dreams of fire, until the fire turns to ice, and then he's cold all the way down to his gutter soul.)
Winter sets in with a roar while they're in Maine. It starts to snow and Dean—flinches at the first snowflake that settles on him, and goes somewhere else. Sam can't rouse him, no matter how loud he shouts, until he has a stroke of genius and flicks the lighter a few inches from Dean's face.
Dean focuses on the fire and breathes. Sam bundles him back into the Impala, finishes the hunt—glad beyond all measure it's only a simple salt-and-burn-and heads south fast as he can.
Soon enough, Dean readjusts to the cold, to snow and blizzards and icy wind. He never talks about it, but Sam knows.
