SPN FIC - You Were There For Me

Feb 12, 2012 10:54

Sleepless nights. Lack of food. Too much alcohol, too much caffeine. The loss of Cas and Bobby, of Rufus and Jo and Ellen and Pamela, a long line of people they knew and cared for, running all the way back to Dad. Hell, running all the way back to Mom. The loss of the Impala, of the sense that they had a place of refuge somewhere ( Read more... )

Sam's brotherliness in this--this is what we watch the show for, and get in brief flashes, and you gave us a whole story of it--

*smishes you*

I've had this idea in mind all week: Dean with a bad headache, and them taking refuge in this remnant of a house. Took a morning's worth of peace and quiet to make it spin together. Glad you liked it!

I have had headaches like that before. I have have headaches like that this week,and all of this was very real, very dead on accurate. But most of all, having someone there that you need, but can't really say much to...so important. Any these two are that for each other and you get it right every time.

and yes, they need to track down Mike Rowe and show him what a dirty job really is, and how a Chevy can save the world (since he is also the spokesman for Ford)*g*

Ouch! Sorry to hear about your sore head. I used to get nasty ones that were like a red-hot spike going through my temple. It's not a good time, for sure.

I'll have to think about the boys encountering Mike Rowe. I've already teamed them up with Stephen King, and Elvis. Mike would be pretty easy. :)

Glad you enjoyed the fic!

Elvis and Stephen King? Where with in your Master Fic List are those?

That was such a lovely piece of H/C, Carol. I can almost feel Dean's headache, and the crushing, nauseating pain of it. Thank god I've never had a headache that has lasted more than a few hours, because I think it must be absolutely awful having to deal with something so unrelenting.

I loved Sam's quiet, steady way of dealing with it, the gentle care he shows Dean here is just lovely. But oh my, it's so very sad that after all they've done, all they've given, they have nowhere and no-one to go to, but a run-down abandoned shack. *sniff*

I used to get bad spiked-estrogen-related headaches that were pretty ugly. But my brother gets migraines, and I worked with a gal who got 'em so bad that once she actually went blind for several hours. That's some nasty stuff!

I love coming back to the brothers just taking *care* of each other, the way they must have when they were little. I look back at Dean just resting a hand on Sam's back in "Simon Says," and know they have that connection, that it's always there.

Glad you enjoyed the ficcie!

Your muse is firing on all cylinders and I love it. Loved quiet, steady Sam. Always there for his brother.

My heart broke at the image of young Dean hiding his sickness, unwilling to trouble anyone to help him.

Excellent as always.

Hey, me three!!

ficwriter1966 February 12 2012, 20:26:20 UTC

She does seem to like the shorter pieces, which I won't complain about - the last couple of winters, I haven't been able to do much of anything! So if the short ones come smoothly, and seem *right*, I'm more than happy!

I had the flu really bad over New Year's 2000, and one night I ran a warm bath and sat in there and cried because I felt SO utterly shitty. Can't push Dean quite that far, but I could see him trying to avoid burdening John, and thinking eh, Sam's a little kid, how could he help? But feeling so crappy he just had to let it go. Poor guy.

Thanks for the kind words! Glad you liked it. :)

Oh Carol. I love this. I love it because I've had that headache. I have. Not for the same reason but well...'nuff said.

How beautiful is it to watch Sam taking care of Dean? Sometimes not even doing anything other than being there. The warm solid weight of Sam.

Then Sam remembering Dean doing the same thing for him.

I just loved this.

For some reason, those bad headaches are BAD in a way that other sickness/injury isn't. Nasty, just plain nasty. I saw that documentary I mentioned, where that poor guy was slamming his head against the floor because it hurt so bad.

These are the kind of moments I look for between the boys. Things can go off-course, words can be exchanged and bad feelings harbored, but I *need* to know that when it comes down to it, they'll be there for each other.

Glad you enjoyed it, hon - hope it provided a little respite from the Mayhem!!
