Final drabble for 8 Days of Wincest. Loved this challenge!
In the end, they don’t leave much of a legacy behind. Sam carefully labels and catalogs all of Chuck’s books, and Dean slides John’s journal into place on the shelf. They turn the key to the bunker over to Garth and head west.
Dean wants to settle in San Diego and Sam wants to see Seattle, so they compromise in the form of Oregon. Dean grumbles about the suburbs, but Sam’s pretty sure he’s in a secret competition with their neighbors to see who can grow the greenest lawn. There’s a town library, and Sam talks his way into a job with fake credentials and an easy smile. Garth is the only one in the world who knows where to find them, and he mostly leaves them alone.
There are still angels and demons and ghosts and monsters, and sometimes Sam wonders if that’s their fault, if they failed. But Dean slides into bed next to him every night, finds his wrist in the dark and holds on, and Sam can’t help but feel like they must have done something right.
