Pack Up Your Troubles

Christmas, although uncelebrated, had been a respite in their ongoing war, but now it was time to move on.

Dean packed the gun-cleaning kit in his old duffle bag, and checked his lighter while humming an old, marching song.

Maybe he'd heard it one time he'd actually gone to school, or during one of those lame documentaries that Sam watched, and Dean secretly enjoyed.

It's time to Winchester-up and bury and repress the grief of all we've lost.

It's a new year of hope...

He turned to Sam with a smile, a funny smile,

"Let's go kick some Leviathan ass..."

A/N: Happy New Year everyone!

This is inspired by a famous First World War British marching song, "Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit-Bag and Smile, Smile, Smile" – you can listen to it here:
