Title: Sentence Ficlets

Author: Arisprite

Summary & A/N: The challenge, to take a random prompt list(found and then lost on the internet, sorry if it belongs to you!) , and write only one sentence for each, with each one telling a story or a moment as evocatively as possible. I got this idea from the Sherlock Holmes fandom (namely KCS, if she ever happens on this) years ago, and I thought I'd try it here. It was rather fun! Beware bad grammar, run on sentences, and very very vague language.

16: Strawberries
To Dean's great disappointment, and after much experimentation, Cas decided his favorite pie was the "sissy flavor" of strawberry rhubarb.

22. Blood
"Feel better?" Dean asked a sheepish Cas; that sudden anger had only left embarrassment as he watched red seep from Dean's nose.

7. Muse
The only part of Dean that looked human anymore, after the ravages of Hell, the tortures (both given and inflicted) the years of agony, were his green eyes; they never left Castiel as he pieced the man back together, body and soul.

6. Blackbird
There was a rough physical manifestation of wings, even while vessel bound, but Castiel's didn't used to be charred black with ashes.

17. Weapon
Sam quickly learned better than to startle Dean in the days after Purgatory-he didn't have much of a desire to be threatened with a lamp and the hard edge of the motel welcome pamphlet.

5. Gloves
There was a pack of unused latex gloves in their first aid kid, and Sam stared at it while Dean thrashed on the bed, his head burning with fever.

19. Lost
The dust cleared, and Castiel quickly realized he was still on earth (rather than Heaven or Hell, both of which were dreaded possibilities with his ritual) and he turned to share a celebratory smile with Dean...but neither he nor Sam were in sight.

25. Search

Cursing the marks he himself at etched into their bones, Castiel scanned the battle field on multiple planes of reality, searching for the distinct Winchester aura.

13. Test

After hours, Castiel stood over the Winchesters, the aftermath of his screams of grief having flattened everything around him.

34. Impulse

Driven by some emotion, some need he couldn't explain, Castiel stepped forward and wrapped his arms around Dean; he was rewarded a moment later when Dean gripped back just as tight.

3. Funeral
"Don't mind us!" Dean called, as the crowd of black garbed mourners scattered.

8. Magic
It was pretty amazing: Cas still had his mojo in Purgatory, and no longer did he have to deal with long itchy healing, Cas just patched him up no problem.

33. Compromise
"You are both sitting on the roof, if that's what I have to do to get some damn quiet in here!"

2. I'm Here
Dean didn't let Bobby take Sam from him, didn't let his fingers slip from their grip around his brother; hand against neck, or head or arm, just in case Sam somehow got scared to be left alone, even in death.
