Summary: "You know what I miss? I miss those ten years of playing Mystery Spot," Lucifer says wistfully.Author’s Notes: This is a combination of basically three of your prompts, dear recipient.
Mystery Spot is one of my favourite episodes, so I ran with that, and who can resist the notion of delirious!Sam and the opportunity to have the brothers bond again? I hope that the liberties I took with all the prompts are to your liking. :)
This is set in Season 7, somewhere between
Out With the Old and
The Born Again Identity. I had to take a few liberties with the timeline, stretching the time between the former and the latter by about a week or so, to accommodate the story’s needs. Since the timeline in the show is vague during that time, I felt it wasn’t too big of a stretch, all things considered.
For the choice of year I have kept as close to the official Show dates as possible, even though the discrepancy in dates kind of makes me break out in hives. This means that dates are set in 2012 rather than 2013 as logic would dictate. The show doesn’t acknowledge the “missing year” in which Dean lived with Lisa and Ben and Sam trotted around the US with no soul, so I’m just going with it for the purposes of this story. Apologies to anyone who, like me, starts twitching when timelines get out of hand like this.
I also owe a million thanks and chocolate and possibly my firstborn child to my intrepid beta, who held my hand and put up with ten billion text messages and then corrected the hell out of my prose. All glory to her, and all remaining mistakes are mine.
( Rise and shine, Sammy! )
