Five Things I Want To See In Pre-Series Gen Fic (Or Fanart, Now That You Mention It):
1. John carrying baby/toddler Sammy in a papoose. Preferably during a hunt. In pursuit of something. (Think: Manly waddle.)
2. Sammy, age 9. Learning the "MY DING-A-LING! MY DING-A-LING! I LIKE TO PLAY WITH MY DING-A-LING!" and singing it on repeat at top volume during a 12-hour car ride. Bonus points for 13-year-old Dean laughing and singing along for the first 40 minutes, then putting on his headphones and mouthing Metallica's Kill 'Em All while staring out the window for the next 11 hours while John grits his teeth and wrings the steering wheel.
3. John giving the birds and bees talk. Needing lots of liquid courage to do so. Sitting the boys down,
John: "boys... *hic* when a man and a woman love each other very much..."
Dean:"aw, jeez, no, cmon dad I'm TWELVE!"
Sam: O_o or possibly D:
John: "Like your... M-mother and I did... They... Have pretty hair... *sniff* and wear... summer dresses... *hic, sob*"
Dean and Sam would look at each other and Sam would be all "CAN I GO BACK TO PLAYING WITH MY TRANSFORMERS NOW THIS IS BORING"
John: "Dean, did I ever tell you about the time you were *hic* conceived?"
And Dean would be all "HAHAH I THINK YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH DAD TIME FOR BED" and just tip John over and pull the covers up over his head.
And then later they would be playing and Dean would think "aw, shucks" and say, "hey, Sammy... When a mommy transformer and a daddy transformer love each other very much......."
And it would be many years until Sam stopped asking John confusing questions about transformer anatomy. And referring to his own as "laser gun attachments" and stuff. "I CAN COME ON A HUNT, DAD! I CAN USE MY LASER GUN ATTACHMENT!" Complete with sound effects every time he goes to the bathroom.
Um.
4. Sam learns to drive. Every time he and John get in the car with the intent of having a 'lesson', it ends... violently. "NO NO NOT THE BRAKE, THE CLUTCH! THE CLUUUUUTCH!" "STOP YELLING AT ME! I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING! AAAARRGH!!!" So from then on DEAN takes the responsibility of teaching Sam to drive. Which results in a lot less tantrums, but also Sam sort of. Kind of. RunningJohndowninthedrivethisonetime. What? It was an ACCIDENT! John was just, you know, walking back up the drive after his morning run and Sam kind of. Put his foot on the gas instead of the brake and he was in reverse at the time, but... oops? Dean kind of had hysterical laughter face-first into his pillow, later. Much, much later, after he'd stopped shaking and had iced and splinted John's ankle and set him up in front of the TV with the remote and a bottle of vicodin.
5. When he's still young and impressionable, so, under age 10; Sam goes through a phase where his musical likes and dislikes spur from whatever's playing in backwater diners. So he is rather fond of the likes of Cyndi Lauper. In fact, this one time Dean even picks up a battered banana-yellow walkman with the foam headpiece covers missing and a case-less cassette of the "She's So Unusual" album from Goodwill. John's pleased, because it means that Sam's more docile and less irritable during long car trips, but he and Dean also have to deal with Sammy's unconscious, tone-deaf mumbling along to song lyrics. And John can't help but kind of perk to attention whenever "oh daddy dear you're still number one" kind of squeaks out. Even after the five thousandth time. Still, they have the batteries running down to look forward to, where Sam's accompanyment slows and lowers pitch accordingly (Giiiiirrrrrrlllssss jjjjjuuuuuusssstttt wwaaaaaannnnnn.......). Good thing Dean keeps a spare back of batteries in his kit anyway.

I was half-intending to make Widdershins into my "Baby's Day Out" story, with John waddling around on hunts with Sammy in a papoose, Sammy being adopted by Yetis, Sammy crawling along tree branches, burbling happily and all that... and then the story developed into something that required a bit more gravity *g*
Maybe I'll get down to writing something of this ilk eventually. It's about time for some pre-series set to the benny hill theme.

THAT MOVIE IS THE BEST EVER. It never ceases to make my ovaries explode. Such an adorable baby.

No way. John would have put an end to it in under five minutes. But then, later, when it's all quiet and they're driving through the snow and the heater's doing jack shit to warm up the car and they can all see their breath and ice is forming on the windshield despite the defrost at full blast and everyone's tense because visibility is like, three feet -- John will spontaneously start singing it at the top of his lungs. Dean jumps a foot and Sam throws his head back and his legs curl up to his chest and he giggles delightedly and starts singing along. And Dean pretends they're both crazy, but turns his head and smiles at their reflections in the window.
And then a big dinosaur crosses the road and they run into it and they all die. The end.

Though... I don't know, I know annoying little (spoilt) kids and also THE INABILITY TO GET RID OF EAR WORMS. John might scream at Sammy to shut up a million times, but yeah, he'll have to do it a million times. It might take Sammy a half-hour or so to kind of forget John's shouted at him and succumb to the ear worm again.
have you read this?

Nope, I haven't read that one yet. *bookmarked*

HAHAHA!
Brings to mind both my older brother & myself "learning" to drive. We're 3 years apart, & our mom figured that she could handle the task because she learned how to drive on top of the snowbanks beside the road. She went out with my brother for his first lesson.
Our dad took over for her. And I attended the Driver's Ed class in high school when I got old enough.
"NO NO NOT THE BRAKE, THE CLUTCH! THE CLUUUUUTCH!"
I never did learn how to drive standard. But I did learn very quickly the difference between the gas & brake-a telephone pole coming straight at you will reinforce the lesson. We never ran anybody over, but my mom's Ford Fairmont was never quite the same after my brother "taught" himself to drive standard.
Have you ever heard a 17 lb. cat snore?
