Artist notes: Somewhere in some alternate universe, the Winchester family actually gets a break. Alas, this is not that place, and once again, young!Sam and Dean break my heart. Many thanks to my author, capt_creampuff, for choosing my original somewhat angsty prompt, angsting it up even more, and adding a plot element I hadn't even considered. \o/ Thanks, K., for creating a wonderful (if sad) backstory for that first image, and for hanging in there, despite school and holiday travel woes. Thanks also go to my beta becc_j, for her valuable artistic concrit (plus whiskey and bakery advice!), and a dozen virtual roses to the heroic spn_reversebang mods who dragged this challenge back from death's door. Love ya all, guys! ♥
Carry on, my wayward sons . . .
Dean watched as Sam picked out a red velvet cake and grinned; that had been mom’s favorite too.
He can just see it now, dad’s face when he came out of the bedroom to he and Sam eating red velvet cake. He’d look sad
but Dean knew that if he reminded dad that they were eating it for mom, it would quiet the monster in him.
Maybe he’d sit down for a slice himself. Maybe he’d even talk again, and Sam would stop leaning away from him.
Dad would coax a couple of smiles out of both of them by the end of the night.
Dean wouldn’t forget how badly dad had scared both of them. He refused to. But maybe at least it could teach him
how to fight this other monster.
Maybe one day they’d win.
