Friday Free-For-All
Heya, folks, seasons greetings and all that crap. It be Friday, so we get some room to play today! The sky is the limit, as it were, except for a few rules we need to just remind y'all about:
NO spoilers in prompts for at least one week after airing. Also, if your response contains spoilers, please warn for them and leave at least 3 empty lines before starting your fic.
Also, to make sure everyone gets a chance to prompt... no more than five prompts in a row, no more than 3 per fandom. You can always come back and prompt more after yours have been answered.
Please remember to be kind to you code monkeys (who work hard at a job that is time consuming) and code your prompts properly (fandom, pairing, prompt).
Examples:
Numb3rs, Colby/Charlie, The first time Colby called him "Professor"
Criminal Minds/Leverage, Reid/Eliot, "It's getting hot in here..."
Don't see anything that whets your appetite? Check out our lonely prompts archive here on delicious for some amazing ideas that just haven't been given homes yet.
Also, gird your loins, because next week is the start of yet another Quarterly Year Challenge, where we give you no prompts but instead offer lovely prizes to get you to write some of the prompts piling up in our archives.
Ready? Prompt!

Yetis and Unicorns and Floods, Oh My!
“So,” Gabriel drawled, dragging one finger through a ring of condensation. “So, it goes like a circle with a curlicue. Add a dash here and a short line there and you’ve got yourself a bonafide Yeti summoning charm.”
The Trickster next to him, some small religion tourist come to America to see the sights, nodded slowly, his eyes glazed over. “You don’t say?” he murmured, taking a long draft of the beer he’d been holding onto for the past ten minutes. “You don’t say?”
Gabriel nodded. “Indeed. But here’s the best part. Draw it on a hunter’s back. Gets the bastards every time.” He beamed as if he’d just come up with the trick then and there. He might well have.
Swallowing another mouthful of getting-warmer beer, the Trickster crinkled his eyebrows. “But how does it…how does it…that?”
“Ah, that’s the secret,” Gabriel confided. He paused a moment to finish off his own beer and order a new one. “That’s where the rabbit comes in.”
“Rabbit?”
“Uh-huh. Fast little buggers, rabbits. Gotta be, if they want to live. So, you got the rabbit and you do the charm and presto! Sit back and watch the flood.”
The Trickster laughed. “Oooh! The flood! That’s a good one!”
Gabriel nodded congenially. “I know, right? Did that one myself. Caught the unicorns out, I did. Silly things. All flowers and peace and love and who-knows-what-else.”
Abruptly serious, the Trickster nodded. “Ah, yes. Saw one last week.”
“You don’t say?”
“Yeah. Down in…over by…tiny creek. Was by a tiny creek. Didn’t like me much.”
“I can’t imagine why,” Gabriel said, downing half his beer, then blinking as the bottle suddenly separated into two. “Hey. I got an idea.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah.”
“…Whuzzat?”
“I’ll show you.”
And Gabriel snapped.
