Our Lady of Fandom, early Saturday mornong

". . . really, it's the least you'll have to worry about once the kittens are born," Castiel was telling Angelbane. She'd started shuffling slowly after him everywhere he went, mewing at him. He was following all the rules for pregnant cat care he'd found online -- he wasn't sure what she wanted from him.

Other than possibly to eat his wings.

"Dad's Dad," Cas informed him. "You're Father. Or sometimes Papa, but you prefer Father."

[scruffnfeathers]

"It's not an abbreviation," explained Castiel. "It's the full, proper term."

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

"That's what you always say," Cas confirmed. "Then Dad rolls his eyes and tells you to lighten up."

[scruffnfeathers]

"Yes, that sounds like your fa -- dad." Castiel dialed and left Dean a short message. "You say your name is Cas?"

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

Cas nodded. "Dad's always said I should be grateful my name isn't 'The Boy' or 'Nephil' and if I ever have any siblings, he's not letting you have any say in naming them."

[scruffnfeathers]

"They would both be descriptive terms," Castiel pointed out. "Though I would perhaps have gone with 'The Child'."

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

"I won't always be a child though," Cas pointed out reasonably.

[scruffnfeathers]

Oh, right. Mortals aged. "You get that from your dad."

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

"I get a lot from my Dad," Cas said. "He says that's what makes me awesome."

[scruffnfeathers]

"What does he say what you got from me makes you?"

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

"Exasperating."

[scruffnfeathers]

Castiel sighed. "Of course."

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

Cas crouched down again to pet Angelbane some more. "Is Dad around?"

[scruffnfeathers]

"No, he's hunting with his . . . Alec." Castiel watched him with Angelbane for a moment. "I take it Angelbane isn't present when you're from?"

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

"It's a slightly different reality," Cas said, pronouncing the big words slowly but correctly. "He and Uncle Sam never came to Fandom. And if you did, you've never told me."

[scruffnfeathers]

"That is unfortunate. This island seems to have been good to Sam and Dean."

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

"And you?" Cas wondered.

[scruffnfeathers]

"It is . . . not disagreeable." It was no Heaven, mind you, but Castiel was willing to make do.

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

"Good. I told Dad we should totally visit here, but he says it doesn't really exist. At least where we live it doesn't."

[scruffnfeathers]

"This island," said Castiel gravely, "laughs in the face of universes and their laws." He tilted his head. "You may well fit in, here."

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

"I did last time. There were lots of kids here."

[scruffnfeathers]

"Do you have any idea why you all might be here?"

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

"Not yet. Last time it was to help John William," Cas explained. "He was all hurting because Dad had gone to Hell and he didn't know he was going to come back. I told him that you always rescue him and that made him feel better."

[scruffnfeathers]

Castiel couldn't help but preen just a little at the idea that he always rescued Dean. He might not always know what he was doing in other circles, but in that, he was pan-dimensional success, apparently. "I do," he said. "Who is John William?"

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

"He's Dad's son with Dawn Summers in another reality," Cas said. "Dad has kids in a LOT of realities."
