June 19th excerpt:
Placing his hand carefully against the table, Dean beckoned to Sam. “Gimme some of that sandwich,” he commanded.
Sam stuck his lip out but didn’t argue. “Kay,” he said, pinching off a corner.
Dean took it, flattening the bread between two fingers. “How ‘bout you get some rest and eat up?” he offered the kid, motioning with his head to the books he might be able to sit on. “Take it easy while we figure this out.”

June 18th excerpt:
Dean scooped up Stan and the plate in one hand, balancing the apple pie on the tips of his fingers, and snagged the laptop with his other hand. The laptop got plopped at the foot of Dean’s bed, quickly followed by the pie and then Stan, and Dean stretched out on his stomach so he could see the screen close up.

Dean sent him a flat look, then rotated the computer around. “Well? Not a bad idea, right?”
On the screen, with three children climbing out of a raised floorboard, bare feet on either side, was The Borrowers.
Sam’s eyebrows went up. “Okay, not such a bad idea,” he admitted.

June 16th excerpt:
Stan hopped to his feet when the humans started moving about, and did his best to keep back and out of their way until things fell relatively still. Then he crept curiously closer to Dean and the laptop, wondering about his plan as much as Sam.
“Is a… movie like a TV show?” he ventured to ask, still getting the hang of human things and how they worked. He could only imagine it was similar, since he’d heard the brothers mention movies before, and the laptop wasn’t so dissimilar to the television. The biggest difference was the computer had more options for functions, and the TV was limited to entertainment media as far as he could tell.
Well, you can always find fluff in Oscar stories if you need a quick cure!
But as far as Dean’s concerned, he comes off as a bully a lot, but it has a lot to do with the situation at hand.
Dean is a hunter, and if they find a supernatural creature (like poor Bowman), it’s his job to find out if it’s dangerous, and if it is, it usually falls to him or Sam to put a stop to the monster. He would never cause harm intentionally to an innocent (like all our Oscar stories), but he also can’t just let them go on their way.
In the case of Bothering Bowman, the story took a turn for the harsh because Sam got hurt, and as far as they knew, it was Bowman’s fault. Until Sam woke up, they had no way of knowing Bowman was innocent of any wrongdoing. Dean did the only thing he could, in his mind. Contain the threat, find out more. Once they found out Bowman was an innocent, they released him and brought him back home (with quite a few more shenanigans along the way).
Like Garth says about Dean in the canon TV show–

June 15th excerpt:
“Can’t have my favorite morsel starving himself to death,” Dean mused to himself, reaching one long arm behind him to a tin Bobby had on the counter top. Inside was an assortment of chips, crackers and pretzels, all good snacks to eat when too busy to sit down and really enjoy a meal. Mostly used for straight-up energy by Bobby or any visitors than any flavor the snacks might offer.
Pulling out a pretzel, Dean flicked it at Logan. “Eat up,” he commanded.
