I wrote this double drabble for a valentine gifting because I suck at reading rules properly! LOL
So I thought I may as well post it anyway.

A Cave full of Cavies
***********
Drabble: word count 200
Warnings: Erm, schmoop?
Summary: For chomaisky – Castiel tries to comfort Sam with some guinea pigs.
***********

Castiel isn’t the most observant student of human behaviour, but he’s noticed that since Dean took off, Sam’s been uncomfortable in the bunker.

For instance, every time Sam walks through the main chamber, his gaze skitters around before settling on the burn-marked floor, when inevitably a pained expression will cross his face.

But it’s more than just guilt that’s bothering Sam. Now Castiel has grace again, albeit stolen, he catches flashes of Sam’s thoughts. From those, he understands it’s the silence that really bothers Sam. Castiel might be more human than he used to be, but he still moves in what Sam thinks of as stealth-mode most of the time.

Sam misses Dean’s steady stream of inanity, his atrocious singing, his banging around the kitchen, his breathing.
Castiel decides to fix Sam.

Cas flies to Peru and comes back with an armful of squeaking cavies. As he lets them run loose in the War Room, Cas smiles at Sam.

“Pets are good for human souls. Guinea pigs are well loved by adolescent females, so I thought you would be pleased, Sam.”
Sam’s less happy than Castiel hoped. He feels compelled to elaborate.

“Dean always says you are a teenage girl…”

***********

And by way of a contrast - have some Dean in Hell

Warnings: Demon point of view. It ain’t pretty.
Summary: The soul of Dean Winchester arrives in Hell.
***********
Rumours spread through Hell’s nine circles faster than fear. A new soul has arrived; one sweeter and brighter than any poor unfortunate that’s passed through the portals of the pit in millennia.

Abaddon’s thigh deep in guts and blood when she hears the news. She kicks at the shrieking bodies as she wades clear, rushing to the reception area.

She’s quick, but still too late.

Abaddon roars, frustrated of her sport. Alastair slices pristine flesh with one sharp talon, purest white light spilling with the fresh blood into the greedy mouths of minor demons.

Abaddon swallows Dean’s screams and wants.

Never heard the term 'cavies' before.

“Dean always says you are a teenage girl…”

Ouch.

And the second one...shudder...

Oh wow, that was a huge leap from really cute (and awkward for Sam, lol) to creepy, *seriously* creepy.

There's something adorably dotty about Castiel filling the bunker with guinea pigs :)

I could picture Abaddon making things very difficult for Alastair if she really wanted to; she has a talent for getting her own way, especially where Dean is involved!

My guess is she had other jobs to do and that there was order in Hell back in those days...or I'm sure Abaddon would always get what she wants!

The thought of Cas filling the bunker with guinea pigs is just delightful! And I love the idea that Abaddon first fixated on Dean in Hell--she certainly is covetous of his body in canon (and who can blame her?).

It's a bit of a cheat to make Abaddon a female in hell, but Alaina makes such a perfect demon, I can't imagine Abaddon as anyone/anything else now!

Now Sam has to go out shopping for all kinds of hay for the piggies and clean up after them hahaha! Thank you dear. It seems like "guinea pigs as pets" fits bunker life well :) Oh, Cas can use his grace to teach piggies to use the toilet! So much trouble saved!
So much pain in the second one. Very hellish...

Wow, I just took a look at spn fanart on Tumblr. It seems like these days Cas always has at least one guinea pig with him...

That's true, Cas should be able to communicate with their tiny piggie brains and at least train them to go in one place...

Wow, that second one was amazing-creepy and effective. Loved it. The first was adorable and fun. Great job.
