Summary: There was a pause, a beat of silence filled the sounds with the gulls overhead and waves on the shore, the heat that was gonna leave Dean with more freckles that he had already.

Sam rolled his head around to look at him over his sunglasses. “Do you remember when you taught me to swim?”

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Rolling his neck until it popped, Dean stretched and groaned in pleasant relief as muscles pulled and joints popped before flopping back down into the lounge chair.    Sam smirked at him from the adjacent chair,  hazel eyes sparkling with mischief over his sunglasses. “Getting old there, Dean?”    The waves rolled onto the shore in a soothing melody, the heat of the sun making him lethargic as a house cat.    Humming through a smile, he tilted his head back, face toward the sun. “Maybe,” he admitted, “but what a way to do it.”   Admittedly, the plane ride to get them all to port and then on the cruise ship had been intimidating, but with enough Benadryl in his system, he honestly didn’t remember most of it.    His brother snorted a laugh and settled back in his blue canvas lounge chair. He had one leg drawn up, hand balancing an ornate blue cup with colorful umbrellas and a pineapple slice wedged on the rim. There was a bucket of beers and lime wedges in the sand between them as Dean pushed himself to sit, looking around for one of the staff and flagging him over.    “Gonna need more beer. How your tutti-frutti there, Sammy?”   “Higher alcohol content than your entire bucket, Dean,” he answered, snide and proud. He popped off the pineapple wedge and bit into it. “I need another.”    Dean laughed, grinning as Carlos came over, brows raised and ready to serve. “Hey, my man, he needs another one of whatever that is and I need--”    “You should really try one, Dean, just saying,” Sam insisted. “I mean, unless you can’t handle it, then stick to your beginner beers.”    Licking his teeth, Dean laughed. “Imma need one of those, too, then. Screw it, we’re on vacation and it’s Christmas. We need two of the fruity monstrosities and another bucket of beer and lime, please.”

One thing certain “discussions” keep bringing up: our allowance of background ships/pairings.

You know what? They’re BACKGROUND, and in any properly fleshed out world, there are people interacting with and surrounding your main characters, doing their own things, forming friendships, falling in love, living their lives.

Do you expect us to force people to ignore Mary/Bobby? What if during Christmas dinner, Claire is present, and someone mentions Dark Kaia?  What if someone has Dean tease Sam about a waiter/waitress who flirted with him, or vice versa?

The brothers do not live in an empty cosmos where only they exist, and forcing writers/artists to not acknowledge the lives around them is not in the spirit of this challenge. We’re allowing for show-realistic violence and swear words, with a hard PG13 limit. 

And once again, the works are to be PLATONIC BROTHERS CENTRIC. 

If people can’t accept those rules, there are other challenges out there.

Bro-Bond CC Poll

We've had some people concerned about publicly posting their BBCC works. We think we have a solution.

Yesterday, we started thinking of a solution for those too shy to post their submissions on their own accounts.

Proxy Posting.

What we can do is post the work FOR you, using a name of your choosing as credit.

On AO3, they allow the addition of multiple authors, and if after a certain amount of time you wish to take full credit, we can swap it over into your name.

If you wish it to be posted to Tumblr, we will, once again, give you full credit, using whatever name you choose. Later, we can edit the masterpost to credit you account, if you so choose.

We want to make it perfectly clear that we will NEVER share your username or email without your permission.

Just click on the link at the top, and tell us what you think!

Title: Ripple Effect Written by: Tenoko1 Genre: Gen fic Rating: T Relationships: Dean Winchester & Sam Winchester, minor TFW Characters: Dean Winchester, Sam Winchester Additional Tags: brief mention or appearance by other characters, brothers centric, case goes wrong, Injury, Sick Dean Winchester, Angst, Burnt out characters, Exhaustion, Christmas, Christmas gifts, brotp, BroBondCC Series: Part 3 of Christmas One-Shots Challenge: @brobondchristmaschallenge Summary:

Finishing up a case battered and hurt, Dean and Sam make it back to the bunker wondering how much is left before they burn out entirely.

In all the repetition of monsters, road trips, and cases, it seemed they forgot more than a few things. -- “At least I’ve got you, right?”

Sam nodded. “Yeah, of course, Dean. We’re brothers. I’ve got your back like you’ve always had mine. Nothing changes that.”
