Oh shoot, I was so busy reading, I forgot to comment. I am LOVING this. I am so glad Shit-for Brains was taken out. And Floyd was disgusting. The whole using Sam in place of a child was gross. I'm so happy these asshats aren't the norm, that they're deadbeats skirting the edge of the settled territories and taking advantage of lags in the law. And the scene with the red head and Dean was such a transactional thing, two independent survivors trading goods for the night. Dean's gentleness and skill an unexpected add on. You've really set us up for a tough, hard world.
And I like how Ellen wasn't having any of that in her bar. Too bad she couldn't have seen through a bit deeper to what was really going on and helped save Sam. I guess that's how you get your bar burnt down though. I'm so happy Dean came along. Just Phew! Sam, not Sammy deserves a good turn in his luck and Dean is just plain damn lonesome. Excellent story, the words just flow like silk. BRAVO!

There's that for sure. There's not room for much sentimentality in their world. And this reflects my headcanon that Dean trades sex for intimacy--actually kind of canon, right?
I see Ellen in this story assuming it was Sam's will to trick, because no one would dare bring a slave into her bar. Like a lot of folks, she was depending on the 'decency' of other people. But yeah, getting too involved in other folks business could be dangerous. ;)
Thank you so much for reading here! I'm really glad that this captured your interest right from the gate! :D
