Seek and Ye Shall Find - a tiny ficlet.

I've finally made a start on filling the prompts given to me in the 15 Characters meme (here)!

Seek and ye shall find.
***********

Word count: 326
Warnings: Schmoopiness and brevity
Summary: For auntmo9’s prompt in the 15 character challenge in which her choice of numbers 4, 11 and 9 gave me this - Crowley and Demon!Dean are on the run from Missouri. What did they do, and what will Missouri do if she catches up with them?

***********

Missouri was no witch, but her grandmother had known a thing or two, passed down to her from a long line of resourceful women, knowledge kept alive in spite of poverty and slavery.  Sadly, being clever and a psychic didn’t make her omniscient. Which was mostly a blessing, but at times a cursed nuisance – like now, when a bit of forewarning would have been really useful as to WHY she’d felt compelled to revise her gram’s spell-work that morning, and carry this particular powder in her cardigan pocket.

Missouri rolled her eyes. Age regression spells were tricksy, but she hadn’t known what else to do when confronted with the King of Hell and the Blade standing on her doorstep. Particularly as neither of them had looked too friendly. She’d cursed the vaguaries of her gift, even as she muttered the words that bewitched her very unwelcome visitors.

Now she was cursing (very quietly, under her breath so the children didn’t hear) for another reason entirely. Dean had always been an inordinately adorable child. Missouri had only been winding the man up when she’d accused him of being funny-looking, and nothing had changed there. Mini be-spelled Dean was still ridiculously appealing, with his rosy freckled cheeks and that smile. Lord, that killer smile. She hadn’t been expecting to find Crowley equally as cute – all dark liquid eyes, scruffy dark hair and a wary look to him, like he was expecting harsh words at every turn. In the face of that look, Missouri hadn’t had the heart to threaten them with the wooden spoon when they misbehaved.

She heard muffled giggles and suppressed a snort. Kids always felt they had found the best hiding place in the world, even though Dean’s little ass was sticking right out from under the coffee table where his head was buried, and Crowley’s feet were clearly visible under the edge of Missouri’s best tablecloth.

“One hundred!” Missouri said. “Coming, ready or not.”

Hope you like it auntmo9!
Got to say, I was chuffed one of the prompts gave me Missouri!

Oh my gosh! Missouri! We don't even see enough of her! And mini-Deanand mini-Crowley? What a great way to handle this!

Hee! I love Missouri... My first thought was to have her after them with her spoon and everything else came out of that - then of course, she just couldn't be so cruel to the poor mites... LOL!

This was utterly adorable! I loved Missouri :)

Thank you! Missouri is still one of my fave minor characters... and one of the few still alive in canon!

I would totally love an art-fill to go with this

But I'm sure they would look so adorable

Shut up! Ha ha ha

That was adorable. How about a full length fic...? I'd read it! *grin*

[identity profile] amberdreams.livejournal.com 2014-08-17 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Nooooooo! Ha ha ha I'm supposed to be writing spn_gen BB and S/D mini bang!

I would love more of this!

[identity profile] amberdreams.livejournal.com 2014-08-17 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh me too but I've got too much else I need to be writing... feel free to snaffle the concept if you fancy it!

So cute, and I so wish we could more Missouri in canon

[identity profile] amberdreams.livejournal.com 2014-08-17 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Me too! They haven't killed her off after all, so she could come back...

[identity profile] katwoman76.livejournal.com 2014-08-17 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
True. Wished they would bring her back some day.
BUT - the actress not being available at the time was how we got Bobby if memory serves right.

Bobby was great! Wew need more seasoned characters rather than 'wacky' young things

[identity profile] dreamweaver37.livejournal.com 2014-08-17 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Eee! I would adopt them both and keep 'em!

[identity profile] amberdreams.livejournal.com 2014-08-18 12:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh heh I think they might be irresistible!

[identity profile] caranfindel.livejournal.com 2014-08-17 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
That's precious! (Picks it up and hugs it)

[identity profile] amberdreams.livejournal.com 2014-08-18 12:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Aw thank you!

[identity profile] ash48.livejournal.com 2014-08-17 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
ha! Great idea! Now, if Missouri was still around maybe our boys wouldn't land in so much trouble!

The idea of mini demon!Dean and Crowley playing hide and seek is adorable. But wow, what a handful!

I wonder what Sam's going to make of it when he comes to pick up big Bro and the King of Hell.

And there's your prompt for the sequel...

[identity profile] amberdreams.livejournal.com 2014-08-18 03:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Ha ha um right...

[identity profile] runedgirl.livejournal.com 2014-08-18 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
Adorable!

[identity profile] amberdreams.livejournal.com 2014-08-18 12:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh heh thanks!

[identity profile] dizzojay.livejournal.com 2014-08-18 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Heeee, that's fabulous. I could totally imagine Crowley being a cute kid. Of course, that Dean was adorable is undeniable! :)

[identity profile] amberdreams.livejournal.com 2014-08-19 08:10 am (UTC)(link)
I was trying to visualise Mark Sheppard as a little kid - I bet he was a handful!

That was inspired and adorable. I love mini_Dean and who knew, but mini-Crowley was darling as well. I always wanted Missouri back in canon, so it's nice to see her in fanon as well. . She was an awesome character. Thank you for sharing even though I'm very late to the party.
