    Summary

    She didn’t used to hate school. She didn’t love it, but she likes reading, and science is objectively cool.

    But now, each time she sits in class, all she can think about is David saying, “I was a teacher, taught kids about your age,” and then she can’t help but stare at the teachers and think, “Are you a monster, too?” Every smile, every encouragement, every smiley face on her quizzes, all of them just make her think of sitting across a fire from someone trying to make her laugh, knowing already that it was only an attempt to make her drop her guard enough to-

    She doesn’t trust teachers, is the key point.

    Summary

    In his many years of taking on jobs for too-little pay, there’s one assignment he’s never worked. The other workers call it the “preschool brigade,” the FEDRA-school kids sent out into the field for what they call “work experience” to get them used to the real world. Really, it’s a behavioral tool, he knows, an example of “better act right or you’ll end up like these poor fuckers when you’re grown.”

    He's deliberately never worked on one, uninterested in being put in charge of a kid doing a dangerous job they shouldn’t be. The kids that get sent on the preschool brigade are the ones FEDRA doesn’t necessarily care about getting back, after all, and there are things even adults shouldn’t be doing, not as untrained as most of them are.

    And then comes the day one of the FEDRA guards assigned to his work detail that leads over a sullen-looking girl, who kicks rocks the entire way.

    Summary

    “I was just…I was wondering what you do. You know. For like…punishment.” She interrupts him. She needs to get the answer already, needs to know what to expect before she drives herself crazy with anticipation.

    “Well I was more into grounding than goddamn child abuse.”

    “Grounding like…” Her face scrunches in confusion as she dares to look at him. The word is foreign and the best guess she has doesn’t seem right, but she also doesn’t know what else it could be. “Like being…in the ground?”

    Joel stares at her for a long, long moment before he speaks.

    “Jesus fucking Christ.”

    Summary

    “Awesome,” Dean mutters, eyeing Cas in the rearview mirror feeling a vague sense of bemused resignation, because of freaking course they’re hunting some cockblocking Scandinavian wood creature that’s trying to out him to his brother.

    Summary

    He didn’t realize that repressing the urge to touch Cas for all these years would lead to the predicament he suddenly found himself in. In pretty much every interaction he’s had with women or men, he's felt completely comfortable and willing to initiate. He works with his hands, he’s good with them, it’s how he knows to communicate. The words are always where the struggle is.

    Or it was until now. Now it’s both and Dean doesn’t know where to start.

     

    Or

     

    Dean is touch starved and doesn't know how to initiate. Featuring Indiana Jones, Dean cooking vegetables, and poetry.
