Merry Christmas you filthy animal

[dudeimbatman]

Thanksgiving had been awesome. Dean had cooked every conceivable Thanksgiving dish and they'd all eaten until they thought they were going to burst. He'd spent the next day in a food coma but had quickly gotten up to speed on getting the bunker ready for Christmas. There had been a shit ton of decorations in storage, but he'd replaced a few lights and added a singing Santa or two.

Ruby had embroidered stockings with everyone's name. She hated embroidery, but she was damn good at it. Jo had contributed a recipe for Christmas punch and one for eggnog. She insisted that they needed to have it regularly so they could tweak the recipe. That way it would be perfect for Christmas Eve. Dean was pretty sure Jo was just enjoying her first real Christmas since God knows when. Dean wasn't complaining. Lucy hadn't stopped baking since the tree had gone up, and didn't show any signs of slowing down.

Ruby was also systematically removing, altering, or replacing everything that said Christmas. The bunker was turning into a politically (or demonically) correct wonderland: Happy Holidays!

Honestly, as much as Garth isn't someone Sam would work with, there are good reasons to put Allison in touch with him. First, Garth is part of an existing werewolf community. Secondly, he was a former hunter. He was something of a rare fit to the world Allison knew before. Dean does sort of fall as the fun uncle type. But Jack still sees him as one of three parents. He never would have learned to drive if not for Dean. Sam had helped him understand his powers better and that the world runs on social norms. Castiel provides him guidance above all us when it comes to Heaven. Unfortunately, there's some truth to parents never returning home without angelic interference. Jack would be a safer bet for questions as he has less tragic history in his life. "It's no fault of yours. You've helped me realize there are some matters I need to resolve. thank you."

There seems to be a lot of common ground between them. Cas feels this way about the Winchesters. "It's all right to feel as if you have two homes... It's what you do with the time you have while you are here." He is trying to make her feel better by having to wait to return to Heaven again.

Garth will probably remind Allison a little bit of Stiles. She'll be glad to learn a bit more from him about living as a werewolf and possibly gain another place to send new werewolves to help them cope. After all, Scott can only mentor so many. The longer they're together, the more Allison will understand how he sees Cas, Sam, and Dean. "You're welcome..." Allison says hesitantly. She'll probably ask Jack a bit more about things like this next time they're alone.

That makes Allison smile because she understands that. "I bet you feel that way sometimes. I think Jack does too. We've talked a little bit about it. Besides, I know my mom is okay until I get back. She'd want me to have a happy life and to grow old before I die."
