Pick one of my fics, and I'll give you three details that didn't make it into the fic. Background canon, deleted scenes, or a look into the future. My choice, but if you have a specific question you can ask it in your request.

3) The "killed a guy for his iphone" story was originally much longer. Here's the snippet that's sitting on my HD under the filename "abandoned - trickster dean":

So they're now in suits. In black suits with ties, brandishing FBI badges, standing in front of a police station. Somehow, when Dean thought of learning to become a Trickster, he never imagined this. "How is this any different from what I usually do?" he asks as they walk up the steps, Gabriel practically the Anti-Sam beside him, and open the doors to the station.

"It isn't, yet," Gabriel responds. "You don't get the mind-reading and the other mumbo-jumbo until you earn your stripes. Red tape, I know. Eventually we won't have to go through this rigga-ma-role. But until then, we have to find the bad guys the old-fashioned way."

"So I'm doing my old job." Dean huffs.

"Not quite." Gabriel tilts his head and smiles. "It's just finding the bad guys that's the same. The difference is in what you do with 'em."

"May I help you gentlemen?" interrupts a sour-faced, stout policeman with a handlebar mustache.

Dean starts to speak, but Gabriel's already there. "Hi there, officer! This is Agent Marx, I'm Agent Keaton."

"Dude," Dean mutters, "that's so lame."

"You've got your rock bands, I've got my comedians," Gabriel hisses out the side of his mouth. Louder, he goes on. "We're interested in a case of yours. The Marcus Beale murder?"

Handlebar Mustache puffs air out his mouth that bristles his mustache like a cat's back. "Well, I don't know what the feds care about that case. It's pretty open-and-shut."

"Not so sure it is. You have the suspect in custody?"

"Yeah. Repeat offender, violent crime. No surprises."

Dean glances at Gabriel.

This is the most serious Dean thinks he's ever seen Gabriel. He's got this case -- which he didn't bother briefing Dean on beforehand -- all figured out, and after witnessing a couple of pointed questions at the policeman Dean figures it out too. The guy called 911 from his phone call, described his attacker perfectly, then got his ass shot to death. Only problem was, the GPS on the call didn't come from the location of the attack. So someone was impersonating him and setting up the suspect who was now in custody, all in once.

"But our guy has to have known Marcus," Dean muses, "because he got his hands on his phone. So what, he steals his phone, shoots him, then takes the time to set up some other dude? How--"

"How indeed." Gabriel's sticking around looking horribly cryptic.

Dean frowns. "Why are you putting me through this? You wouldn't bring up this case if you didn't already know who did it."

Gabriel stares blankly a minute. "Would you believe me if I said I just liked the sight of you in a suit?" he finally says.

"No."

"All right, fine." Gabriel grumbles.

"Blah, blah, blah," Gabriel announces. "I'll help you out. He's a lawyer, he'works in a firm uptown, he was also running a stolen electronics operation, Marcus was a bit player in the operation, close to squealing to the cops on it. But Lawyer boys's middleman had also screwed him out of a profit recently, so he got them both out of the way. CSI over. Now, how shall we get him back?"

Apparently Gabriel's seriousness is not a long-lived phenomenon. Dean crosses his arms."I shoulda known you'd already done the legwork. How else would you know it was a case worthy of a Trickster?"

"So let me get this straight. He murdered this guy... over his I-Thingy?"

"App envy. It's very sad."

"So how do you give a guy like that poetic justice?"

"That, padawan, is your decision."

"I dunno, drop apples on hishead? Make him allergic to silicon? Have Steve Jobs beat the crap out of him?"

"Think deeper. And... think more fun."

"Just deserts? There's an app for that."
