Title: Sæglópur [lost at sea]
Series: Supernatural
Rating: R
Genre: AU.
Exposition Notes :
Selkie!Sam sort of refused to die and thus, well. Here's another AU eating a hole in my skull.
Selkies, for those who don't know, are of Irish, Icelandic, Scot and Faroe myth. They're seals who are able to shed their sealskin and are able to come ashore and usually, if they're a woman, they get their skin stolen and woe happens.
These are just like, teasers, if you will. Most of what's going to be here are one-shots, two-shots, drabbles, and sentences like these, never the whole, whole story. Chock full of ust!non-related!Dean/Sam, so be prepared for that, but it's mostly Gen,
Sam's a
Cape Fur Seal, if you're curious.
«sæglópur»
1. Sam close his eyes and navigates the room expertly, never a bump nor a stumble.
2. "I had to leave him," the Selkie looks at Gordon blankly, "Mother Water's call was too strong. I...I wish I hadn't."
3. Dean doesn’t forget Sam's scream.
4. He feels no remorse as he burns the Sealskin at the Chapel steps.
5. He pulls Dean into the tide, moves slowly, drawing him into a waltz only he knew the rhythm to.
6. Dean peers out the motel window at two am to find Sam dancing stark naked, save for the Sealskin, on the Impala under the moonlight.
7. "Jesus Christ," he pulls on his jeans and goes to get Sam off his baby.
8. Sam gives kisses to Dean as if they mean nothing.
9. The water feels different in this slip of a human.
10. Dean watches Sam wade into the water, heart clenching in his chest, knowing that in the flow of time, Sam would only regard him as a small blip in his otherwise long existence.
11. It feels strange, when Dean kisses you, but a good strange.
12. Cassie never asks about the bag of shells or the necklace of amber.
13. When Gordon burns the skin, it feels just.
14. "DEAN!" he tries to bypass the whitecoats, but they hold him back as Dean gets wheeled into the white building that smells of sick and death.
15. Dean figures Smoochy the Rhino was as good a stepping stone into the human psyche as anything.
16. "Hey, Dean," Sam opens the Playboy, right at the table, "what're these?"
17. "He's my, uh, brother," Dean clears his throat, "he's, ah, special."
18. "Driver picks the music," sing songs Sam and Dean really, really regrets it.
19. "Your sister drowned mine," Gordon smiles, "so this is just desserts."
20. Sam tries to pat out the fire, tears streaking down his face, but all he gets in return are burns and a broken heart.
21. Dean feels something for Sam; he just doesn't know what.
22. "If we find a human we trust, one that does love us, we..." Sam shudders, voice broken as he clutches that tattered, burnt remains of his skin, "we drag them to Mother Water to be with us. Forever."
23. He couldn't let Dean become a beautiful floating corpse.
24. "Well, fuck, if I knew rhyming kills shit like that, I'd have called up Dr. Suess!"
25. He finds Sam(my) snapping at a fish, head first in the water.
26. When Sam looks up, his eyes are shark like and he bites down viciously and the fish in his jaw stills.
27. "Sammy," Dean snaps and Sam quits eyeing the goldfish hungrily.
28. "Dude, you can't eat it. It's the kid's pet."
29. Sam pouts, but Dean ignores him and shoves him out the pink room and away from the goldfish.
30. Sam never cuts his hair, and it's driving Dean crazy.
31. "Dude," Dean chuckles as Sam disappears into the bubbles, "I feel like I'm a Splash version of Pretty Woman, minus the sex. And money."
32. Dean knows it's time for The Talk when Sam turns his condoms into balloons and checker pieces.
33. Dean makes a mental note to never give Sam coffee again as he goes Gigantor Godzilla on some poor kid's Dollhouse.
34. His hand shakes as he stitches up Dean's wounds.
35. "Are you Bobby?" Sam hefts Dean on his shoulders, eyes wild as he approaches the man.
36. Bobby's wary of this Sam, but he gets over it soon enough.
37. "Bobby, you didn't give him the holy water test, did you?" Dean cuts his eyes and Bobby tactfully doesn't answer.
38. Mermaids are territorial bastards who encroach wherever they please.
39. So, Sam goes to fight the thing out of his cove, but ends up getting entangled with a human at the same time.
40. He can hear the wet sound as Sam eats the store bought fish rabidly almost, and he's glad the thing's dead.
41. Preservatives don't mix with Selkie digestive systems.
42. Neither do waffles.
43. "Sammy," Dean growls as Sam squirms, "quit moving so I can wash your greasy mug."
44. "Dude, where the hell are my Buffy box―" Dean stops as he sees Sam trying to edge out the door, "Oh no you don't you bitch! GET BACK HERE!"
45. Sammy makes research a hell of a lot easier.
46. "Give me back my cheeseburger, fish boy!"
47. "The book says it's bad for you!"
48. Dean makes sure Sam never sees another health book or pamphlet ever again.
49. "My sister fell for a fisherman's daughter," Sam runs his finger on a seashell, "but she couldn't survive our life. So my sister, she....she gave her skin to her and drowned."
50. He doesn't tell Dean that his sister pulled the girl with her at the last moment.
