I really hope you like this! I'm much more a fan of cold sneezes, but this one was so much fun to play around with. There were a few moments I ended up taking out because they didn't fit with the "rules" here. I might have to revisit these one day :-)

SO! I am the day 9 anon and I have to say, you made all my dreams come true :') I've been lurking on your fics for years (esp HP) and I was soooo excited to see that you write SPN because that's my fandom love right now.

And this. This is absolutely perfect. I love the way you combined both prompts, and ah, those rules. They were perfect and creative! And Sam tossing the tissue box away, haha. I loved Dean announcing his sneezes too, that's always so hot.

I also loved the little things, like this:

Which is absurd; they don’t play that way, not since Dean got back from Hell.

Even though it's a lighthearted, sexy fic, it's a nice subtle reminder of what's going on with them, and Sam's respect for that warms my heart, ah.

The rules are there for fun, so they won’t be broken. And when they are… they just write it off and try again. That’s what the Winchesters did.

So perfect.

And finally, I love the aftercare that comes with the end — Sam getting a Benadryl for him. I love aftercare in fics in general, since kink usually requires a little bit of a come down, and because I'm all for safely induced sneezes, it made me happy.

Anyway, I've rambled a lot, but I really wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed and appreciated this! So thank you!

I'm so thrilled you like it!! I was nervous about writing it at first, but then I just couldn't get it out of my head--and what lovely images to have pop into my head as I'm driving or filing papers, etc. LOL There was going to be a section where Dean announces he's going to sneeze three times then only sneezes twice and gets a free pass later to make up for it. But the technicality required in writing that just didn't work when I tried it. Maybe another fic.

I'm so glad that made sense without any additional explanation and that it didn't pull the fic down too much. It just felt right. It's a little serious, yes, but they take their play serious as well :-)

Thanks! I'm still not 100% happy with those lines. The tenses or plural/singular agreement... but every time I change it, I mess it up. So I left it. Glad it read well for you and made sense! :-)

Sam tossing the tissue box was a complete surprise to me. I wrote out the rules in that one paragraph then let the boys do with them what they wanted. And Sam wanted to make sure Dean got close and stayed close, snuffling into his shoulder, close enough to smell his hair *G*

And finally, I love the aftercare that comes with the end — Sam getting a Benadryl for him. I love aftercare in fics in general, since kink usually requires a little bit of a come down, and because I'm all for safely induced sneezes, it made me happy.
Oh good! Yeah, Sam doesn't want him to suffer needlessly, and allergies... well, they're not easily fixed all the time, but Sam's definitely going to make sure Dean's okay after all of that!

I'm thrilled you liked it! You're so welcome and thank YOU for the lovely feedback! :-)

Okay, so I read this and you really weren't kidding when you said this was the sexiest thing you had written all year. Holy- *guh*

And as Forrest Gump would say, "That's all I got to say about that."

*G* Thanks for reading. It's nice having something turn out pretty much as I'd envisioned when I started writing it; most of my stories decide to wander off in opposite directions, but this one cooperated nicely :-)
