A/N 1: I set out to write birthday fic for the delightful and excellent

debbiel66, but this turned into the kind of fic no one wants for a festive occasion, unless, to quote Buffy, you could smash in all their toes with a hammer and it would still be the bestest birthday bash in a while. Still, a happy birthday to Debbiel.
A/N 2: title taken from Robert Frost, "The Oven Bird." "The question that he frames in all but words/Is what to make of a diminished thing."

("When his phone rings at 3:23AM, Dean knows who it's going to be, and why.")
