Pairing: Dean/OFC Sam/OFC
Disclaimer:
We don't own the boys, or Supernatural, trust us if we did we wouldn't have the time to write. No money is being made from our stories, so, please don't sue. It'd be a fruitless endeavor indeed. That being said Cora, Toni, and any other newbies are all ours, and we don't share. :Whispers in creepy voice: "My precious."
The universe
This reality is a mix of cannon, blank spaces (Because really we only see a small portion of the boys lives) and our own ideas. We strive to keep the boys canon, but since we will be shifting around some of the events, that will reflect in our writing and their personalities as well. It's our goal to provide you with quality fiction, and solid, fleshed out OFC.

RSF Chapter 26
The tension in the hotel room was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Missouri had dropped a bomb no one knew how to diffuse. Toni sat beside Sam on the edge of their bed pressed hip-to-hip and shoulder-to-shoulder, facing Dean and Cora who sat on the bed across from them. Cora sat in Deans' lap with his arms wrapped around her waist. Almost as if he could anchor her to the spot and shoulder the lingering pain. She gave Sam's hand a supportive squeeze. He unlaced their fingers, and wrapped his arm around her shoulders, pulling her close. Grateful for the reassurance, she soaked up the warmth and comfort he sent out in waves that she sent right back. They had an unspoken connection. Words weren't always necessary to convey the way they were feeling.
She took a deep breath taking in the masculine scent she'd come to associate with her gentle giant. Wait, mine? He sighed and she melted into his side, providing whatever boost she could. Yeah, mine.
"All right I'm just going to come out and say it. What the hell are we supposed to do with that?" Dean scowled. Cora draped her arms over his and he took a deep breath calming slightly.
" I don't think any of us have an answer to that," Toni said.
"Yeah that's the problem." Dean muttered.
"At least we're in this together," Cora whispered.
"That's the last thing I wanted." Dean said.
Cora moved to pull away and his arms tightened like boa constrictors. "You know what I meant. Neither of you girls should be here now dealing with this."
"But we are." Toni shook her head, narrowing her eyes at the man about to stir up a hornet's nest.
"Didn't you hear Missouri, Dean? We have to stick together." Sam shook his head.
"You ever notice right next to us isn't the best place to be?" Dean's jaw ticked.
"Like our life has been a field of flowers?" Toni arched an eyebrow.
"No, but I don't want anyone's blood on my hands." Dean shook his hand. The words I have enough all ready hung in the air, unsaid, but understood.
"Tough shit. These are the cards we got dealt. It's a raw deal, trust me I know." Cora snorted. "But now we need to rally and prepare. Cause the shit about to go down, reeks to high heaven."
"Prepare for what, Co?" Dean asked.
"I don't know." She shook her head.
Toni caught her gaze and offered a small smile. "Well let's go over what we do know, and work from there."
"Sounds like the best thing to do." Sam said, automatically backing her with a blind faith that stole her breath away. This man melted her insides, turning her into a giant chocolate chip cookie fresh out the open. With anyone else she would've hated the sensation. Sam, however, was different. He needed her just as much, if not more than she needed him and she felt… No, I won't let myself go there. She'd jumped the gun last relationship, and regretted it later. This time she'd let him take the final step first.
"All right, so what?" Dean narrowed his eyes and puckered his lips into a slight pout. "We got the blood of David, some sort of glowing anomaly, and 1 yellow eyed demon. Tell me what these three things have in common?"
"They're all ancient and powerful." Toni turned the concept over in her mind.
" They're rare. In Cora's case, damn near extinct." Sam countered.
"It's good and evil." Cora's voice interrupted their train of thought . She sounded off.
"Cora?"
"Don't you get it? All of Missouri's not on our time tables, the way we're getting yanked all over the metaphorical planes." She shook her head. A sardonic smile twisted her full lips, as if she'd tasted something bitter. "The demons aren't done with us by far. You want to know what all of them have in common. Those that dwell under the ground and wish to vanquish every light of hope that exists in this godforsaken world."
"Co—" Toni began.
"No. Don't patronize me. This I know. I lived it, breathed it, and smelled it. Jesus Christ. They're some sick fucks with long-term game planes. They don't want to just fuck with you or ruin your day or even your life. They want your soul. To break you down into some inhuman thing with nothing else left by the desire to end the pain they've heaped upon your body, mind, and soul."
"Cora." Dean whispered.
"You want real talk. That's it. They want something from all of us. And until we figure out what that is, and how to stop it from happening, we're fucked up the ass with no lubrication."
The room went still. It was the most Cora had every said about hell. Toni's stomach rolled. What could she say to that?
"So we figure it out." Dean's voice was full of gravel and pent up anger. "Cause I'll be damned if they get their hands on you again, or anyone else."
"Listen Cora, if they could just end us or take what they wanted they would've. So we have some power, right?" Sam turned to her, and Toni nodded.
"Yes, absolutely we do." Toni said.
"Do you really believe that?" Cora snorted.
"My God woman what's gotten into you?" Dean asked.
"Blood Dean, Demon blood. It hurts, its warps, and every minute David's blood is doing battle."
"Cora what are you talking about?" Sam whispered.
"They pulled me out and I was fucked up. I mean road kill on the side of the road, dressed in a white suit rocking back and forth in a corner gone out of my mind. That's how they healed me. I don't even know what the fuck I am anymore." She shook like a leaf in the wind, and the best friend feels took over. Toni stood and walked over, sinking on the bed beside Dean as she wrapped her arm around her friend. "You're ours."
Cora sniffed. "H-how can you—"
The bed dipped as Sam sank on the opposite side of Dean, and placed his arms over Toni, completing the circle. "Nothing could ever change that, Cora. We, the four of us belong together. You heard Missouri, and we knew it our entire lives. Who did we call when we were in trouble, each other?" Sam's words were filled with truth. "Remember the first time we met? We were saving each other's ass even then."
Cabin in a remote location
They'd been holed up with the Winchester boys for three weeks. It was the first time Toni had met the boys and their father. They'd giggled over how attractive he was all gruff and smoky voiced. At eleven those things were starting to matter. Aunt Sherry is so lucky to be on the case with him. None of them said what they were hunting for, so they knew it had to be very dangerous and powerful. Some things held power in their names.
"I can't believe we're stuck here again while they all go off hunting," Dean sighed and plopped down on the couch beside Cora.
"I don't know if you conveniently forgot, but none of us are old enough to go out there yet," Toni said, rolling her eyes.
"I personally am in no hurry to tangle with whatever they're hunting. It's nasty to pull four hunters in and not speak about it," Cora said not looking up from the game of scrabble she had going with Sam.
"True. But still… they can't protect us forever." Dean grumbled.
"They know that better than anyone else." Cora said. "Fifteen points Sammy. You'd better watch out I'm going to bury you in a minute."
Scratching sounded outside the cabin. On Alert, the four of them turned toward the door.
"Cora, please tell me that's some trap your parents have rigged," Toni said.
"Nu uh. Sam, stay here." Cora stood and the three of them brandished their weapon of choice.
Cora caressed the Star of David her father had given her years ago. A shrill cry went off from behind them and they all spun. Two shadows encroaching on Sam.
"No! Get the flares!" Cora dove the few feet to cover Sam's body, screaming as her shirt ripped in the pattern of three claws and blood welled to the surface. Toni ran for the closet and yanked the door open, grabbing the cylinders from the shelf as she pulled a lighter from her pocket. A shadow crept toward Dean and he cried out, brandishing his gun, though he knew it was useless. Toni lit two flares.
"I got you." She waved one at the entity that disappeared with a scream as she tossed the second over to where Cora and Sam lie in a huddle, her body protecting his tiny one. As the youngest in the group, Sam automatically took precedence over them.
The cabin door swung open banging against the wall.
"Jesus Christ! " Uncle Rufus cried.
"Cora!" Aunt Sherry ran between the others, kneeling beside them on the floor with John on her heels.
"It's okay, they're gone, you can let go." John said as he knelt beside her. Cora released him rolling onto her back, and Uncle Rufus lifted her up, eyes scanning her.
"Everyone else okay?" Uncle Bobby asked as John looked Sam over.
"Thanks to the girls. Cora knew what it was right away and got to Sam, Toni grabbed the flares." Dean said running a hand through his hair.
"That's our girls." Rufus and Bobby said with pride.
"Is she going to be okay?" Toni asked, worried about her new best friend. She'd been one of the few positive things to come from her parent's accident.
"She will be. We need to get holy water and medicine in her. They leave behind a poison." Uncle Rufus sat her on the couch and a flurry of activity she couldn't clearly follow began around her.
"You too Antoinette. Better safe than sorry," Uncle Bobby said.
"It's one scratch." Toni glanced down at the minuscule line on her wrist.
"I don't care girl get your ass over there." Bobby's drawl thickened and Cora chocked out a laugh.
" What are you on about chuckle head. You're even worse off."
Dean held her gaze and paused. "Hey, we owe you two. You saved my little brother and uh… me we won't forget."
Present
The memory was a solemn reminder of the battle they'd all ready won.
"We were kids then still leaning and we won," Sam said. The steady tone held a wealth of confidence behind it. She wanted to smile at the growth. "I know we can do the same this time."
Dean snorted. "Yeah and we owe you girls one, right? I'm calling us even after this."
Cora gave a shaky laugh. "Yeah you're right. Sorry to go basket case on you. Just a cause of the hell mind scramble going on."
"Rightfully so my friend." Toni whispered, resting her head on her shoulder. Huddled together in the dingy hotel room they drew strength in one another. Knowing this was a fight for them alone. Sam brushed her finger tips with his and she smiled at him over Cora's head.
"I love you." The mouthed words made her heart pound in her chest.
"I love you too." She mouthed back filled to the brim with happiness and hope for what could be a dark future. With the man she loved and her family at her side she could weather anything.
