"They've gotta be onto us," Dean said. "Dammit!" He slammed the door of the Impala harder than necessary. Instantly, he added, "I'm sorry, Baby."

"I'll search our names," Sam answered. He pulled the key to the motel room from his pocket and unlocked the door.

"Okay. I'll get us some grub," Dean responded. "You hungry?"

"I could use a veggie burger."

Dean rolled his eyes, getting back into the car. "Yeah, okay."

"Thanks," Sam called, walking into the room as Dean roared away.

He set up his laptop, connecting to the WiFi that seemed to be available at every crappy motel they stayed at. Then, he pulled up a search engine and typed in "Sam Winchester."

Sam was surprised, and somewhat alarmed, by the number of results it had. Quickly, he opened one of the top results.

It was a Sam Winchester fanpage. After a moment of shock, he remembered the Supernatural books. It was probably just that.

Still, he scrolled down. The page gave a summary of him, which was freakishly accurate. Then again, Chuck was a prophet and the books had been very precise.

That was when he saw the shirt. It was a t-shirt, and it had his face on it. This was no drawing. He leaned closer, staring, with his mouth hanging open. The shirt had a picture of Sam with an intense expression, holding a gun.

Sam focused more closely on the text below the picture.

"Sam Winchester, in Supernatural episode 4 x 22," the caption read.

"Episode?" Sam said aloud. His voice was incredulous. Was this a show? How was his face on a shirt? Was this some kind of angel prank?

Sam returned to his search. He clicked another link, which led him to a website called Tumblr. The title of the page he'd clicked was "Sam Winchester Appreciation." Speechless, he scrolled through the screenshots and GIFs.

As he read the captions, Sam started to get a feel for what was going on. This was all from a show called, ironically, Supernatural. And it didn't look as though Chuck had taken any part in it whatsoever - beyond his acting in it.

Every moment frozen in a GIF or picture was exactly as Sam remembered it. If it weren't for the fact that Sam's face was all over the websites he was visiting, he would've thought the show might just be a TV spinoff of the books.

It was when Sam saw the name Jared Padalecki that everything clicked. Could this be part of the universe he and Dean had landed themselves in once before, with the weirdo Misha and their comparatively normal lives? There was no other logical explanation.

Suddenly, alarmed by the thought that he could be back in that universe, Sam stood and ran for the door. He sighed with relief when he saw the nearly empty parking lot and cloudy night sky. He was still in his regular world. Or the one he was used to, anyway. It wasn't all that regular.

Sam searched Dean's name next. There he was, with all kinds of people raving about his perfect face and his fanfiction green eyes. Sam laughed, remembering everything he'd read about his own hair. The impressions that he'd seen... the person doing them may have been "Jensen," but he sure looked like Dean.

There were also a lot of mentions of something called "Destiel." It took awhile, but when Sam stumbled upon a few pictures, he figured it out.

Not long after, the door opened. Dean entered with a couple bags in his hands.

"Here's your veggie burger," he told Sam scathingly. Then he saw his brother's amused expression. "What?"

"So," Sam began, "you know how we were once in that alternate universe with the show called Supernatural?"

"Yeah?"

"Well," Sam said, "I apparently can connect to that universe's internet."

He turned the laptop towards Dean, revealing a GIFset of Dean stabbing demons with the knife. "Look familiar?"

"What the- huh?" Dean asked. He looked more closely at the picture, reading the words underneath. "Saving people, hunting things, the fam- I said that, Sammy! Where'd they even..." he glared at the laptop.

"Apparently Supernatural is pretty popular," Sam said. He opened tabs as he spoke to illustrate what he meant. "The actors are popular, too."

Dean looked more closely at the pictures. "Is that-" he began.

"You, me, and Cas," Sam confirmed. "Or... Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, and Misha Collins."

"I hate that Jensen guy," Dean grumbled. Then he asked, "Misha's alive?"

"Apparently," Sam replied. "Considering that this was made... three weeks ago."

"Oh," was Dean's response. "Good?"

"According to these blogs, I'm a 6'4" puppy, you're perfection, and Cas- sorry, Misha is just crazy."

"Perfection," Dean repeated, grinning a little.

Sam rolled his eyes. "Misha's pretty different, though." He pulled up a picture of him in several strange outfits.

"Dude, that's Cas," Dean said incredulously.

"Yeah, I know," Sam answered. "But the actor..." he shook his head. He could scarcely believe that Misha could play Castiel.

Then Sam said, "He also ships something called Destiel."

"He what?"

Wordlessly, Sam opened some of the fanart he'd seen earlier, allowing Dean to look through it. He watched as the recognition dawned on Dean's face.

"Is that..."

Sam just nodded.

Dean stared at the picture. "I don't..."

Sam watched Dean's face. It was hard to tell in the dim light, but... "Are you blushing?" he asked.

"No!" Dean exclaimed. He glared at Sam.

Sam started to laugh. "I knew it!"

Furious, Dean stormed out of the room. Moments later, he burst back in to grab his burger.

Sam roared with laughter as Dean angrily left again, laughing too loudly to hear the Impala drive away.

Sam turned to his computer once more. He was beginning to get an idea how this whole Tumblr thing worked, and he was surprisingly interested.

He started reading once again, now looking more at the text posts and speculation of random bloggers. He was more interested in the characters than the actors, but it was all so strange. None of this even existed, at least not in his universe.

He scrolled and scrolled, reading and reading. He was captivated by how deeply people read into the show - deeper than he read into his own life.

As for Destiel... well, he'd always suspected that something was going on. The strange connection between Dean and Cas had always amused him. Dean's reaction to the fanart had practically confirmed his suspicions.

Suddenly, his face spread into a huge grin. Idea. He scrolled up to the top of the page he was on, then found the button and clicked it.

The page soon loaded.

"Sign up."


A/N: Although many think I'm crazy, Sam is my favorite character in Supernatural. And Tumblr... well, I'm pretty much addicted. Hopelessly sucked into the chaos that is fandom blogging. So I thought, "Why not combine the two?" I don't doubt that this has been done before, but I haven't ever seen it and I really wanted to write it.

Please post a review! It means so much to me. As an aspiring writer, I love feedback.

(My Tumblr is the-winchesters-have-been-saved, by the way).
