Happy Halloween! Welcome to the fourteenth annual edition of virtual trick-or-treating.

Knock or ring the bell by leaving me a comment, and I'll reply with a treat of some sort. It might be a fic snippet, a picture, a song, or something else I come up with in the moment. Lurkers and anonymous trick-or-treaters are welcome! (But if you're posting anonymously or with a DW account that is completely friends-locked and you want a treat specific to your interests, let me know something about why you know me.)

"I'm just saying it's a lot to put on the shoulders of a seventeen-year-old," Casey says.
"Although they are broad shoulders," Dan says.
"Broad as they may be," Casey says, "they are still seventeen years old."
"Eighteen," Dan says, "when the season starts."
"Assuming it starts," Casey says.
"They reached an agreement."
"An agreement," Casey says, "that has yet to be ratified."
"It will be," Dan says. "And then Sidney Crosby will be won by some lucky team and usher in the new era of the NHL."
"Which is a lot to put on the shoulders of a teenager," Casey says.
"Broad as they are," Dan says, "you may have a point. He's only a year older than Charlie."
"This is what I'm saying," Casey says. "He's very young."
