Oh man I think I was flailing at you about SamxCain before, but I just need to flail about SamxCain, what are some Au's you could picture them meeting in, who would be the big spoon, which one starts the coffee in the morning, what kind of dog would they get together? :D
SAM/CAIN??? HAVE YOU TALKED TO ME ABOUT THIS??
I’d love a Teacher AU, except where Cain is the slightly embittered principal and Sam is a totally green first year teacher.
Cain would obvs be the big spoon ;P
Part of me likes to envision Cain as distinctly NOT an early riser, and so Sam would get up for his morning run, starting coffee on his way out the door, and by the time he got back Cain would be grumpily sitting at the kitchen counter with the newspaper Sam had obligingly fetched from the end of the driveway and left there for him. And there’d be an extra cup of coffee on the counter ready and waiting, done just the way Sam liked. Bc no matter what, Cain always takes care of his boy.
But the other part of me loves the idea of early morning Cain. Who gets up with the sunrise without fail, and starts the coffee, and sits out on the porch rocking in their porch swing watching the sunrise, where Sam would always find him when he’d inevitably stumble downstairs to snag his cup of coffee. And they’d sit there just enjoying the silence and stillness of morning together before slowly beginning their day. Sam off for his run, and Cain out to his garden.
They’d get a big fuckin’ dog together. Something like a Mastiff, or Irish Wolfhound, or a Great Dane. A dog that’s nearly as big as Sam, and who takes up most of the bed until Sam and Cain are spooned right up together on the edge by the morning.
