August 21st excerpt:

Nate managed to get Juno to calm down a little by the time Stan caught up. Dark eyebrows frowned at Stan as Nathan looked him up and down.

“Where’s Dean?” he asked, wasting no time mincing words.

Stan pointed. “In the kitchen. I kind of set him up with a–,”

Nate’s amber eyes went wide. “You left him on his own?” he hissed, incredulous.

July 6th excerpt:

“I happened to notice the shop, and there were cages, and there was one that I… I dunno, I just couldn’t…" 

 Another sigh from Nathan. “What’s their name? ” he asked, resigned.

"Dean,” said Stan with a small smile, hopeful that Nathan would come around and be on his side on this one.

July 5th excerpt:

Stan took a steadying breath, running his hand through his bright hair. “Well, I got the cardstock you needed, but… I kind of also brought home a borrower–,”

You WHAT??

July 3rd excerpt:

Dean took a moment to arrange the fabric and then came right back to the opening, planning on grabbing the rest. He could use it for other places to sit or maybe lay it out like a rug. The possibilities kept his mind busy.

Reaching the edge of the door, Dean gave Stan a thumb’s up of approval.

July 2nd excerpt:

Dean nodded, starting to gather up his chosen pile of softer fabrics. Since he couldn’t carry everything in at once, he settled for what he planned on using for his bedding.

Arms full, he walked towards the ‘door’ of his new home, looking it up and down. The opening of the door was a few centimeters over his spike of hair, and he paused to look up when he was in the doorway, touching the side of the cutaway Stan had done. There was barely a fray aside from the corners. If he had time later, he could tug any of the excess cardboard out and make it a little cleaner. It would give him something to do.

July 1st excerpt:

With all the scraps brushed aside, Stan turned the box over in his hands and reckoned it would do. He decided to forego the window for the time being since Dean hadn’t given him a decisive answer on it. Maybe one day he would. In any case, Stan thought it’d be easier to make a window later on than to cover up one that Dean didn’t want.

The last thing Stan wanted was for Dean to feel like he was on display all over again.
