Hee! Thank you! I love you too! :D

Nicely done. I really like the path you chose for Sam’s powers here, the way they develop and the choice he ultimately makes.

Favorite lines:

and Sam hates the idea of fortunetellers since that time he was sixteen and a carnival woman told him that he would sleep beneath the flames of his love,

Oh, Sam.

The air crackles and pops, and then the voice drops to a graveled tone. “He’s coming, Sam, he’s coming for you, and he hasn’t forgotten.”

Wonderfully creepy moment.

Keeps Dean safe because Sam’s afraid of that one moment when he’ll reach for Dean and touch bare skin and burn his brother raw.

Oh, boys.

With a heavy breath, he looks to the night sky where the stars are watching, and he wonders if his parents can see him. He thinks of the old woman and smiles.

He claps his hands, once, and the world explodes into fire around him.

I really like this ending, the nod to John and Mary and Sam’s utter determination and then that blast of fire. Nice.

I'm glad the ending worked for you, as I wasn't quite sure how I wanted to end it--leave it open? Show the destruction? Thank you very much! :)

Man, I so want to know what happens after! Lovely imagery, even as spare as you use words in this. Sam's promise to the fortuneteller - not understanding why until the manifestation of this scary new fire-based power.

I love that he practices control - that his freakout is limited and short by necessity. And that he agrees to come when the demon finally arrives. Quite the trojan horse Sam has made of himself.

Lovely!

I can see a sequel to this going in a rather post-ap situation with burning buildings and Sam's power spiraling out of control...*tries not to think about it too much* Oh fic, why are you so fun?

It'd be interesting to rewrite this after the season finale. I think he'd be a lot more destructive with his newfound power now. Hm.

Thank you! :D

[astrothsknot]

Oh, wow. I almost wish for this in canon. I mean, Mary was some kind of fire demon or angel, wasn't she? Makes sense that Sam is his Mother's Son.

[pixel_0]

Me too, me too. Can you imagine the special effects? *whistles* That'd be awesome to see on the show.

Thank you! :)
