Summary:
Cas borrows a cup of sugar and makes a new friend.

Review:
Dean and Castiel move into a quiet neighborhood next to an elderly woman, Gertrude Smith. At first, she thinks "That Winchester boy," with his "unnecessary vehicle" are nothing but trouble. Then Castiel knocks at her door asking to borrow sugar, with his bizarre manner and peculiar social graces. Despite her curmudgeonly inclinations, Gertrude is charmed and invites Castiel in for tea.

A delightful outsider POV fic, in which the original character narrator is vivid and real (and frankly reminds me of my own grandmother quite a bit, with a gruff exterior and a kind heart). Her reactions to both Castiel and Dean are priceless, and it's a fun and quick read.
