With the Strength of Lions - Master Post (Sparta Verse)

[lovesrain44]

Summary: Since it’s been so hot, Dad finally takes Sam and Dean to the river for a little fishing trip. This makes Sam feel a little bit better for not being able to play soccer, but not a whole lot because it’s still the summer from hell. This story is a sequel to The Gauntlet

oh Deb, you love this verse, too? I am SO HAPPY IT'S POSTED:)

I do love this verse...dearly. This sounds kind of goofy but I wasn't sure where to leave my comment now that I've read the story. It said to comment on dreamwidth, using open ID, but I wasn't sure about that.

So here I go - loved this story! Loved the hints of despair and terror and tenderness we can glimpse in John even through Sam's little kid POV. I think this verse is one of the best uses of an adolescent POV I've read. Sam is trying to make sense of his world, while we try to see beyond Sam.

Really tragic the way those two never quite connected. Please say that the Sparta summer will be endless. Not great for Sam, but I don't want this to be the end. Selfish, I know.

I should actually take that comment off of my dreamwidth, as I don't need people to go there to comment especially.

I'm glad you loved the story, thank you! I try to make it fun for me while miserable for Sam. And John. And Dean. And YES, the summer is endless, and oh how the days crawl by. It's the incredibly expanding summer!

You are sweet to say so.
