Happy birthday, vaznetti! I'm not sure, but this might be crack!fic. *checks* Yes, it's definitely crack!fic (I'm sure I'm not the first one around here to have done this, though) and I did it on purpose and it's John Winchester-shaped just for you.

Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast

Taking Point
Gen, G, Sam & Dean, no spoilers for anything

Written for 100_ghosts prompt #46, "Touch."

( After a stumble, a pause to rest, Sam steps forward )

First item of business: because a couple of people were kind enough to ask after it (thank you)...after our initial panic over being repeatedly Jossed and Kripked on the lengthy SPN AU we're co-writing, batyatoon and I decided to buckle down and we're trying to FINISH IT properly. It's an AU, after all, so instead of trying to wedge it into new canon, we're going to let it be, well, an AU. We have a beta lined up and everything, and it's up to 18,000 words. We're only cruel to them because we love them. Really.
