SPN FIC - I Wish I'd Never Learned

[ficwriter1966]

Here you go, you slave-driving bunch of people.  Sick!Sam.  But you know...it's mostly still about Dean.

Hell, it's ALL about Dean.

The RCA dog Nipper, the ship on top of the old D&H railroad building, and the U-Haul truck are all real.  If you Google "Nipper Albany," you can see a picture of him.  Ditto with "D&H building ship Albany."

Oh, wow. Very nicely done follow up.

Poor boys. And John and Jim are very believable in this.

[ficwriter1966]

Thank you - I'm glad you liked it.

[girlfan1979]

I should probably point out, for the record, I am not stalking you.

I just - sometimes when I find an author I like, especially if I have some time on my hands, I have to read like, practically their whole backlog.

So, it's not you know, personal.

Well, I guess it is.

But I hope not in a scary way!

[ficwriter1966]

No worries! It makes me smile when somebody shows up here and then I can track them going through the fics one at a time. Reminds me of myself when I find somebody new whose stories I like.

So, hang out here and chat all you want!

Yay for Nipper and the D&H Building! There aren't a whole lot of Albany references in this fandom, haha.

Anyway, great story, I liked Dean sitting there trying to figure out how people knew what do when someone was sick, especially when he wondered what Jessica must've done when Sam was sick. Nice work!

Maybe we should drop some hints to Kripke? There's all kinds of supernatural stuff going on around here... And it sort of looks like Vancouver, if you squint!

Glad you enjoyed the story.

Call it a pre-birthday gift!!

[sparky_joe]

Oh man, you did it *again*!!! Another incredible fic!

There are so many rich layers here, it's simply perfect.

I do hope you know that I'm looking forward to November's ChiCon almost as much for the opportunity to meet you, as I am the chance to see "the boys," right? I'm looking for my QL novel (it's packed with all the other books that were never unpacked when I moved) and I'm hoping maybe I can get it autographed while I'm there!?!

p.s. I've got to extend my appreciation, and say that I'm more than a little humbled that you remembered that I have a birthday coming up. I've had so many instances of folks forgetting my birthday (my father, best friend, and all but one person at my large corporate office, and that was just last year!) that I've sorta' gotten used to the idea that people don't/won't remember. Oh, my sister always remembers, and 1 or 2 other good friends, but not a lot, so its pretty special to me. Thank you.

[ficwriter1966]

I'm definitely looking forward to it, too, for the chance to meet so many of the folks who visit here. (Then I'll have to remember real names along with screen names...eeekk! I have to remember to buy a drink for those Windy City people who did up the nametags with everybody's screen and real names on 'em.)

And I'm more than happy to remember your birthday! Now that Christmas is so ridiculously over-commercialized, I like remembering individual people on THEIR special day. Pfffft to your relatives and friends for forgetting. BAD family! BAD friends! Shame on them. (My brother likes to say, "I don't celebrate birthdays," and I tell him, "Yeah, but *I* do." When he shows up for dinner and doesn't even say "Happy Birthday.")

I liked this one alot. Dean's concern and his feelings of inadequacy in how to take care of Sam mirror his feelings in the show. He wants so bad to protect and care for Sam and yet is so afraid of screwing things up. You really nailed that.

I hurt for Dean too at the end as he watches the family wistfully and wonders what if...you know that's gotta go through his mind at times, and it tears my heart out for him. Our tragic hero.

My absolute favorite line?

“Why is it,” he sighed, “that when you’re sick, you’re helpless, and when I’m sick, you’re helpless?”

Hee! I can just picture Sam's face when he said that! Priceless!

[ficwriter1966]

Poor long-suffering Sam - you know he's right there with soup and graham crackers, and wanting a little payback when it's his turn. Yet knowing he's dealing with DEAN.

Glad you liked it!

Aw, Dean. You'd give Sammy Nipper, the truck, and probably Neptune if you could figure out a way to rope or shoot it out of the sky, and Sam knows it. And we do, too. And it's why we all love you the way we do.

I think Nipper is actually 28 feet tall - still kinda big to squeeze into the Impala. *g*

My cousin BADLY wanted to take Nipper home as a little boy. It's still a joke in our family. He ended up naming their cat Nipper.
