Supernatural story: North of Wednesday

[merryish]

Due to its incredible awesomeness, I'm expecting to read many, many codas to Mystery Spot between now and April 24th - and probably quite a lot of them after. I'm maybe a little rusty at this, but anyway. Here's mine! =)

Oh, so much love! For some reason it didn't occur to me in this way that Dean would get it like that. I realized that they've both seen each other die, but, I don't know, it didn't occur to me that Dean would know what Sam needed like that. And then you said it, and it was like, yes, of course he knows. And I love that so much. And I love this fic, and, yes. I don't know if you'll be able to make any sense of this comment at all, but yes, I just loved this a lot. Thank you!

Hee! No, it totally makes sense! I'm happy you liked it!

I've just been sort of, um, obsessing? Rabidly? Over the two of them going back and forth like this, with the sacrifice and the can't live without you and the OMG LOVE, and. Ahem. Sam needs more hugs! And Dean is the one who needs to give them! Is the highly intellectual conclusion to which I have come. I kept picturing Dean holding onto Sam's body that night in Cold Oak, and then Sam holding onto Dean's in that parking lot, and my heart kind of, um. Well, turned to complete and utter mush. Clearly. :)

Thank you!

I have absolutely no problems with mushy, and Dean giving Sam hugs. None whatsoever. Oh boys and their LOVE.

Found your fic via friendsfriend, and omg, this is amazing. Amazing amazing amazing, and totally absolutely what I want for a coda to 3.11. You dealt with the consequences of Sam living with that Wednesday fallout for months afterwards, the dissonance between the Sam that lived without Dean and the Sam that used to be. It's two different people occupying the same body and you really pounded home that disconnect, the conflict, the fear Sam has that he will lose Dean all over again. My heart ached for Sam, and even though it's Sam's perspective, I got a big dose of what it's like for Dean, too. "But all he can do is stare and shake and need until Dean's face goes soft and sad. My heart breaks. And then breaks some more when Dean reaches out. And I made a noise like whimpering at this line, "There have been too many single rooms, too many dark and lonely roads, and he can't get past them, can't get through them just by wanting to, just by wishing them gone."A million wonderful details. The strip mall, the sleepwear, the clothes that Sam

Oh, yay! I'm glad you found it, and that you enjoyed it! It's really cool to know exactly what worked for you and why - you just made my day. I shall be grinning for the rest of the evening now - thank you!! =)

*beams at you*

YAY.

Thank you! That was, yeah - I mean, I can't even really imagine what it's going to be like for Sam now, trying to hold all that inside him and not react from it every second of every day... but I couldn't quite stop trying to. It's going to be so hard for him! He needs like, a world of hugs. From Dean. Specifically.

Thank you! :)

Oh, this is fantastic! I love the whispered confession of the Wednesday, and Dean being so steady and getting him through it. *happy sigh*

[merryish]

Thank you! I'm really happy you liked it. :) I wanted Dean to just - to be there for him, because in all the world? Nobody can understand what this is like for Sam better than Dean. I mean, Dean didn't have to deal with Sam dead for months and months, but he did mourn him, and then he got him back, and hugged him like he never wanted to let go...

Hm, I may need to watch these eps back to back. :) And then, you know. Explode.

[wolfling]

*Happy sigh* One of the best things about this ep are all the fantastic codas popping up.

This one I think might be my favourite so far :D

*beams* Thank you so much! You have made me a very happy writergirl. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
