Happy St George's Day

[dizzojay]

23rd April is the day upon which we, here in the UK, recognise Saint George, the Patron Saint of England.  Very little is known about the real Saint George except that he wasn't English (go figure) and the one thing he's most famous for - eg: killing the dragon - almost certainly didn't really happen.

But, hey ho, when have I ever let a little thing like reality get in the way of some juicy Winchester Whump?

So, for your entertainment, here's a teeny weeny, terribly English, celebratory drabble!





BY GEORGE!

Our boys are in England (no idea how or why). They learn a painful lesson that some ancient legends aren't all they're cracked up to be.

A/N (longer than the drabble) Dragon Hill is a small hillock nestled deep into the windswept and beautiful rolling chalk downs of southern England close to a tiny village called Uffington. On its flat summit is a patch of bare chalk where the grass has never grown. Ancient legends say that this is the place where Saint George, the patron saint of England, killed the dragon that is forever linked with him and its spilt blood poisoned that patch of ground so that nothing would ever grow there.

Faint wisps of smoke drifted lazily around the remote hilltop as the brothers stood, soot-blackened faces frozen in mute shock.

Dean coughed and blinked to clear his vision, watery eyes peering from under singed, heat-crinkled lashes.

Scraping his fringe back from his forehead with shaking fingers, Sam discovered that the force of the blast had already done the job, taking his eyebrows with it.

They watched in despondent silence as the blackened shell of Sam's 'Lonely Planet guide to England' crumbled into ash.

"Sam?"

"Yeah?"

"You say this is where Saint George killed the dragon?"

Sam nodded.

"Well, he freakin' SUCKED at it!"

That picture and drabble were perfect, but I doubt St George was as beautiful as Jensen! The boys with burnt eyebrows made me laugh! Thank you so much, Happy St George's Day!

Nope, for all his heroic deeds, I'm sure Saint George wasn't a patch on our boy!

Picture and drabble in perfect harmony! Damn I wish we could see Dean in armour. Then just imagine using a can opener to get it off him *G*

Also I loved the drabble, and I'm mourning poor Sam's eyebrows, honest I am between fits of giggles.

You'd have to work very carefully with that can opener you know, you don't want to scratch anything valuable!!!

I promise I'd take me time, you wouldn't want to damage anything valuable, unless you got to kiss it better *whistles*.

Fun drabble.

Is it wrong that I'm picturing the boys running for their lives while stripping off burning articles of clothing? The dragon would give slow pursuit, giving the boys time to at least attempt a drop and roll to snuff the flames, but then she'd light them up again, and finally the boys would only stop to tear the shirts and jeans off. By the time they reached some cave for safety, all they'd have left were their boots. Which of course was the dragon's plan all along - did I mention the dragon was female? ;D

I may be rusty at writing stories, but I can still put together a fun summary!

Heehee, Dean's beauty even crosses species!

That's a fine story - it needs to be written into a fanfic. Now!

Ahahaha! Not Sam's HAIR!!!!!! So much love for Dean in armor. Yes.

Sir Dean does make a rather fine knight, doesn't he?

Ahh, if only our Patron Saint was that pretty ;)

Drabble and pic were perfect hun, but I just realised, I'm a full 24 hours behind on my f*list O_O Eeep!

Oh yes, for all his heroic deeds, Saint George was probably a bearded ape compared to our beautiful boy!

Oh, these things happen, we all have to give over fandom time to real life on occasion :)
