What about kids in a cannon?

What about kids in a cannon?

If you'd asked me at 3am today...

Nah. Against that, too. Even if the stinkers sometimes decide it's great good fun to wake you up so they can go pretend to take naps on the floor while you're trying to figure out if you can even stand or if you're so tired, you have to collapse.

I've kind of liked when they had the wee little Winchesters on the show. wee!Dean making wee!Sammy dinner was all kinds of cute. And added so much character insight because he was so capable. Poor John, I know his heart was in the right place. Poor boys, for all the other reasons.

eta: I'm saving the links to the stories because they sound good.

see, that was great, and part of that was because it was a one-shot.

Maybe Dean could be investigating a haunting involving an old girlfriend of his (maybe his first from his sporadic highschool days), or he sees the obit for said girlfriend and finds out some hinky supernatural stuff going on, spirits and stuff. And he finds out that not only did she die, but so did her husband and kid, and something is lingering. There's an evil spirit or demon that killed them and has trapped the spirit of the kid in the house. In the process of hunting the spirit/demon, Dean and Sam discover that the kid was Dean's, and Dean is devestated. Dean kicks the spirit/demon's ass and his kid is free to go off to kiddy heaven. And there is angst.

Angst, damnit!

they're good, but also unsatisfying in that there is so much more to be explored.

That is a wonderful plot bunny, Juliebird.

I was trying to figure out a way for the kid to be evil, and Dean sending the kid's spirit to hell, and whether he should know then or find out after that the spirit-kid was his. But that's just too much.

Too much ANGST!

*ahem*

But seriously, how has Dean not left a wake of babies behind him, ripe for some vengeful demon *coughMegcough* to mess with out of spite? That .99% window starts adding up.

You know, they talk a big game about Dean being a giant horndog. Now, not that I can imagine a world where a man that pretty doesn't get one hell of a lot of tail... I wonder how much is talk and how much is walk.

(And by walk, I of course mean hardcore sex.)

I think Dean gets as much as he wants, really. I mean, look at him.

That said, I'm also pretty sure that, absent extreme circumstances, he's been really careful about not leaving little Winchesters around the country. I am damn sure John had that talk with him. Multiple times, just to be sure. Plus there were probably a few scares.

I'm generally of the opinion that Dean gets laid more often than a lot of guys (because, come on, would *you* say no?) but Dean is also a survivalist. He would use a condom, not only to prevent Dean Juniors, but to prevent an inconvenient case of crabs or the clap.

That said, you're right, Juliebird -- condoms aren't 100 percent effective, and they break, or rip almost unnoticeably. In my fanon, there's at least one girl out there who has fond memories of a certain smirk, big green eyes, an illegal mouth, and decided to keep her unexpected baby.

I don't know that they would ever explore this, but my thought was that because Dean had been older brother/substitute father (Nightmare) for Sam, he has an exagerated sense of responsibility. I don't want to go into detail, but I can definitely buy into Dean being really, really, really careful.

Yep, I bet he doesn't rely only on a condom.

Maybe that's the secret of the amulet. :snerk:
