Angel Maintenance
Supernatural; Sam and Dean; g; 1,018 words
"Your shadow," Sam says, pointing. "It's come loose."

Huge thanks to luzdeestrellas for the speedy beta. Written for the West Wing title project.

( It's dark and they're in a hurry, so neither of them notices it at first, the way Dean's shadow lags, spooling out behind him like a sweater unraveling. )

Glue guns! Dirty socks! Hair ruffling! Dean would fit in so very well in Neverland, don't you think? This is so adorable. Oh, BOYS!

Thank you so much! I'm so happy you liked it. And Dean would TOTALLY RULE Neverland.

Aww, this makes me want to cry happy tears.

musesfool May 9 2008, 14:49:07 UTC

Score!

I mean, thank you! I'm glad you found it moving.

Man, this is so weird. It's like a dream, really. Awesome!

musesfool May 9 2008, 14:49:33 UTC

Heh. Thank you. I'm so glad you liked it.

Oh, man. Peter Pan is an all-time favorite, and just... *flaps hands* I love the Dean=Peter-Sam=Wendy thing you've done here. My brain is reeling from the rightness of all this.

And seriously, Dean totally has Peter Pan's teeth. There's a description of them in the book--Mrs. Darling (I think) comparing them to a string of pearls--which I totally stole for a description of Dean because the very first time I saw him smile my brain went "OMG HE HAS PETER PAN'S TEETH!"

Wow. I am punchy tonight. Unfortunate after-effect of 14 hours of working on this stupid paper that's due Thursday.

Hmm. Icon <3

musesfool April 30 2008, 15:30:00 UTC

But did you like the story?

maleficently April 30 2008, 21:29:35 UTC

Oy! I meant to comment on that down below. BAD TYGS!! Noo cookie for me. :(

Yes! I did. I loved the Peter Pan angle and how Sam just goes to it, and Sam babbling about burial rituals and... Guh. Oh, Sam. Oh, DEAN!

"Sam's sewn Dean up before, more times than he'd like to remember, and right now, Dean's not bleeding, the car's not moving, and nothing is trying to kill them, so his hands and heart are steady."

I LOVE this line, so much.

I think what makes this fic for me is the utter whimsy of it; detaching shadows and sewing them back on, call-backs to Peter Pan (Sam as Wendy!), hair ruffling and the brothers' shadows laughing together.

Beautiful and wonderful and chest-tight-sweet, all at once.

Thank you so much! I'm so happy you enjoyed it and found it moving. And Sam as Wendy pleases me, so I'm glad that worked. *G*
