Summary: Even the most ironclad contracts can have hidden escape clauses, exploitable with proper documentation. (taken from ff.net)

    The premise for this fiction is actually quite cute. It's based on the "get out of hell free" cards which are sold many places online, and probably in gag gift stores. The idea of the card comes from Monopoly's "get out of jail free" cards.
     In this long one-shot, which could be split into two chapters easily, Sammy is checking his e-mail when he comes across an ad for the card. It reminds him of one year when he, Dean and their father were snowed in and decided to play Monopoly when he was younger. Out favorite younger brother decided to buy the card since Dean has always bailed him out. He figures it's an appropriate gift to give to Dean and hopes that he'll find it amusing.
     The fic then jumps to Dean after his year has run out. Just as he goes to make the passage into Hell, he finds the card again. Figuring it couldn't hurt to try, he hands it over, unsure of what to expect.
     It's a really cute idea that I haven't seen all that much. Also, it balances humor with seriousness very well, especially with Dean's impending death.
     I recommend you check it out, it's well worth the time.
