I just love the idea that Cas and Dean actually manage to be sneaky in the beginning of their relationship, keeping it secret not because they don’t trust Sam or are ashamed but because they need to feel solid in it themselves before they tell anyone. So they’ve actually done a spectacular job of keeping quiet and not getting caught.
And then one day Cas and Dean are sitting at the table in the bunker kitchen, half asleep while Cas sips coffee and Dean munches halfheartedly on soggy cereal, when Sam comes back from his morning run.
“There you guys are!” He says as he pulls his headphones out of his ears. “I’ve been waiting for you to get up!”
“Why?” Dean asks, dropping his spoon into his bowl and splashing a little milk over the side. “You find us a case?”
Sam shakes his head as he heads to the fridge for a bottle of water. “I think there’s something wrong with the bunker.”
“What kind of something?” Dean asks, casting a curious glance around.
The bunker had seemed fine to him. Nothing strange had happened. No weird noises, no strange smells, nothing creepy or daunting that was outside of the ordinary as far as living completely underground went.
“Well, the lights have been acting weird.” Sam begins, thinking. “And the electricity will just randomly short out. It’s like all the fuses blow at once, or something, even when nothing has changed.”
Dean, still half asleep and only a few sips into his own coffee, doesn’t immediately make the connection. But Cas seems to go incredibly still across the table from him.
“Huh.” Dean says, pushing his bowl away and reaching for his mug. “I haven’t seen any of that. When is this happening?”
Dean still hasn’t pieced it together, but Cas is sending him a solid, desperate stare over the rim of his own mug. Dean’s mind is trying to kick on, to figure it out, and then Sam says—
“Well, most recently was last night. You were already in bed. And Cas— I don’t know where you were.”
And oh. Oh. Dean understands now.
Because yeah, he had been in bed last night. It just so happens that Cas had been in his bed, too. And they were— busy, but sleeping isn’t exactly what they were doing.
Dean purposely does not meet Cas’s gaze.
“Weird.” Dean says with a shrug that he hopes is nonchalant.
“Yeah,” Cas finally manages to agree, his fingers tight around his mug. “That is strange, I haven’t noticed it, either. We’ll have to keep an eye out for it and address it if it’s an electrical issue.”
Sam, beautiful, sweet Sam, doesn’t seem to notice anything amiss. He shrugs. “Yeah, just let me know if you notice it. Maybe it’s just a weird fluke.”
And it will be awhile yet before Sam understands why this only happens when he’s alone in the bunker at night, why it never happens when Dean and Cas stay up with him to the early hours of the morning to research. Sam will live confused but peacefully oblivious for as long as they can all get away with.

Honestly tired of the criticism SNW gets from specifically Tumblr (cause when I check reddit, they love it lots). Like, there are some nitpicky ass people here.
Imo, the Gorn are awesome (you saw them once in TOS, get over it!), Spock/Chapel make sense and were always plausible (Also Spock had his fair share of female love interests in TOS that he knew less than Christine), regarding the silly episodes where Spock gets turned "human" or the new one where the crew turns "vulcan" (In quotes because a. I don't think the intention is for them to be accurate representation of either race b. we all just gonna ignore all the silly ass episodes in TOS like they're not part of the series' bread and butter), the musical episode was literally the best musical episode in the entirety of the genre of rando show doing a musical episode.
Spock this Spock that, there's so many complaints about Spock as if the Menagerie didn't have ooc Spock. The complaints about not having enough screen time for this character or that, like, again, let's be real, this show is for people who specifically loved TOS, of course you're going to have lots of Spock, Chapel, Uhura and yes, Jim also (because he's beyond crucial to Star Trek's legacy), and yes, maybe there should be more Ortega and idk whoever that other pilot is, but you still have focus on Pike, Una, and La'an, which is pretty damn good for a show that only has 10 episodes a season.
Lovely to see that the show has a 98% from Rotten Tomatoes, and a 93% from Google Users, which imo, despite the wackos I've seen on this site, is what really matters and means the show is going to keep trucking along despite a minority of negativity.
My long winded way to say, I can't wait for season 3! ❤️

I know that ‘we got drunk and got married’ is popular trope but I don’t like it for most ships because I feel like it takes a certain kind of character to do that believably.
Pricefield tho…. I can totally see them getting married after like five drinks in pretty much any universe.
Personally I think it would be hilarious if Max never returned to Arcadia Bay but got the courage to at least message Chloe to apologize about how everything went down and they slowly make up over phone calls and text. Maybe Chloe’s on the road with Steph so it takes for forever to meet in person. They meet up on Max’s 21st birthday, get absolutely hammered and wake up married. 
I just like this version a lot because I’m imagining a conversation between Max and her parents where she confess that she got married accidentally and her dad is demanding to know what man he has to beat the shit out of and Chloe walks into frame like 🧍♀️ ‘Hi Mr.Caulfield’. Or Chloe accidentally tells her mom and when Joyce throws a fit Chloe defends herself by saying that she should be happy that Max is in law instead of some biker dude and then David has an aneurysm because Joyce does a complete 180 when hearing that it was Max that she married.

Though I haven't gone into much detail about Stan and Ford in the Familiar AU, I've thought of something funny.
The Stans went on Unspecified Adventures together when they were younger men. Partners, in fact! And while I'm likely never going to get into the details of their eventual falling out - there's potential in those adventures!
Who knows. Maybe monsterfucking kinda runs in the Pines family, but not the one you'd think.
Stan chatting up a Siren, before Ford has to yank his brother back by the shirt. Wondering where the hell Stan went, only to find him partying with some nymphs in a lake and coming THIS close to being drowned. Hell, maybe when Stan describes one of his exes as a 'shrill harpy', he's being literal about it.
A twenty-something on the prowl and on the adventuring path is gonna run into SO many tempting creatures - and the number of times Ford saved Stan's dumb ass from human-ish ladies would go into the DOZENS.

Okay, hear me out. This whump scenario came to me in a dream, and I don't even want to know what that means about my mental state/ j
The setting can be fictional or nonfictional (but it works best in nonfictional historical settings or fantasy medieval etc)
Okay, so the Whumpee is shot with an arrow (in my case, he was doing the "jump in front of the bullet" and "use your body as a shield" tropes) which is coated in poison. The arrowhead gets stuck inside, and it needs to be removed via surgery (the important part is that they need to open up the wound or something). The caveat, however, is that the arrow is covered with anticoagulant poison, so every time the Caretaker tries to untie the bandages or do anything to take out the arrowhead, they risk killing the Whumpee through severe blood loss. If they do not take out the arrowhead, the wound will most likely get infected and kill the Whumpee that way.
Que the team arguing with each other, as the Whumpee lays on the bed with bloodied bandages, about what to do. Maybe they have to go on a race against time to get the herbs needed to flush out the poison. Maybe they are far away from any civilization, and the Caretaker has no means of treating the Whumpee, so they hopelessly watch as they bleed to death (not enough comfort for me, but hey, "Major character death" enjoyers have your crumbs/ affectionate). Maybe the Caretaker has to leave the arrowhead in and hope for the best. Maybe the Caretaker has to perform the surgery as fast as possible and pray that the Whumpee doesn't due from blood loss before (or after) they are finished.
It also opens up to so much potential with respect to medicine and poison interaction. Maybe the painkillers might have an adverse effect if combined with this specific poison, so the Whumpee has to endure the pain of surgery as the Caretaker continuously apologizes for having to hurt them.
Also, also, delirium and high fever. Maybe from the arrowhead, the poison, or the stress from thr wound/medical procedures the Whumpee is wracked with high fever and everything delicious that comed with that (I will never get tired of having a delirius and sick character 👁👄👁).
