SPN100 Challenge: bat. What might have happened if Sam had completed the third trial and saved Crowley? 100 word drabble. Set following an alternate ending to season 8. Warnings for terrible overuse of the prompt word and unrequited Dean/Crowley.

Crowley Up to Bat

"So, how's Crowley settling in?" asked Sam, back from his extended hospital stay.

"Argh! He's driving me bats," groaned Dean.

Sam chuckled. "What did I say? But you were insistent that if he wasn't a demon anymore, nothing he did would make you even bat an eyelid!"

"Yeah, until he started batting his eyelashes at me," Dean complained.

"I thought that was just an act," mused Sam. "I didn't think he actually batted for the other team."

"This is still Crowley we're talking about, he'll bat for any team so long as there's something in it for him," Dean scoffed.
