With the Strength of Lions - Part Three (Sparta Verse)

Part Three

Turning his mind away from this thought, he moved around Dean and Dad and got the plates and the forks and the glasses and arranged them on the table. He got the salt and pepper shakers out too, thinking that might help with the taste.

Aw, I loved the fishing trip. A little touch of normal before everything went downhill again. They all deserved it. I have to admit, though, I squinted through the whole fish killing. Poor fishie.

Why, oh why, did Sam go into the river?! Has he never seen Little House on the Prairie or Ronja Robbersdaughter? Bad things happen to kids in fast rivers. I knew they were going to get out alive and it still gave me shivers.

On the other hand, yay for Sam going in, because it brought us the eagerly awaited switching. :D For the record, I do feel bad for being so gleeful about it. Yes, yes, I do. Very bad. *cough*

I laughed hard at Sam's dinner troubles. After everything that happened, stewed tomato chunks were the final straw. It was as if the whole sucky day could have been saved with a meal after Sam's liking, and then Dad came with tomato chunks. Obviously on purpose. I'm sure it made perfect sense to Sam, but I found it hilarious.

And, oh, that beautiful, beautiful ending. As much as I love the harshness of the summer, I've been longing for some bedtime comforting from Dean and almost snuggling, and you delivered. ♥♥♥ I, uh, I might have something in my eye again.

Can I bribe you with something to never stop writing in this verse? Cookies, chocolate? I make a mean Black Forest cake, too. ;)

Thanks so much for sharing!

No, Sam has never seen Little House or Ronja Robbersdaughter. He doesn't get to watch much TV, and especially wouldn't if it's about GIRLS! So no, he doesn't get it about the river until it's too late.

Personally I think John was oblivious to the tomato issue until it, too, was too late. I think he keeps expecting Sam to be more like Dean for some reason.

Don't feel bad about enjoying the switch whipping, because if you do, then I'll have to, and I don't want to do that.

And I'm glad you liked the ending. Yes, almost snuggling. : D

You don't have to bribe me, your pleasure is my pleasure. And thank you!
