This is perfectly perfect, and it's now been accepted as my headcanon!!!

I loved how you tip-toed around Standford here; Sam worried out his criminal records, his reading list, suggesting a home base to Dean. It speaks volumes about Sam's mind set, about how maybe he didn't want to leave Dean behind, but felt like there was no other option.

Perfect situation for the creation of Funkytown too, plus added badass and smart Sam is always welcome (and you sprinkled in h/c for extra extra points!!) Loved it!!!!! Thank you for sharing :)
