Thicker Than Water

Title: Thicker Than Water
Summary/Prompt: Prompted by the lovely and talented rainylemons at the Dean-focused h/c meme over at hoodie_time. Season 4 - Know how Dean took issue with Sam's whole blood junkie problem? As well he should, yes. But, here's the thing - he and Sam get cursed and wake up in the morning in the wrong body - Sam in Dean's, Dean in Sam's, and Dean

Me: read read read...oh my...skim skim skim, read read read :) It's nice to think of Dean actually gaining a first hand understanding of what Sam has been going through. And to experience the guilt and blame.

[ratherastory]

LOL

I'm always amused by the fact that you gird your loins and read my fic even when there's porn. I salute your intrepid nature! :)

I loved the prompt, the idea that Dean might walk a mile in Sam's shoes and finally feel what he feels. Dean has every right to be angry and hurt and betrayed by Sam (and then some!), but he doesn't ever try to see things from Sam's perspective.

I...

I...

I have no words. I was saving this one for last on my list, because I knew it would get to me the most. But I just...seriously have no words.

I think you broke me.

*goes to wibble in a corner*

(This is, for the record, utterly brilliant. And, quite seriously, is probably my favorite thing of yours I've ever read. ♥)

Do you mind if I wibble in the corner with you? I'm just utter awe of all this,and it's bringing out the Sammy!Girl in me that has been tucked away since Cas came along. I love it when Sammy asked for a pony though.

[ratherastory]

Oh, yay! I am always happy to bring out hidden Sammy!Girls in people!

I love Cas too, mind you. I think there is room for everyone to be loved!

*hugs*

Thank you SO much, sweetie!

I really like this fic, in spite of the fact that it was rushed and written at three am. I appear to have a real thing for sex-that-isn't-about-sex. ^^;

I'm glad you liked it!

Wow, that packs a punch.

Now I am going to go rage some more about the utter waste that was Swap Meat, when they could have been doing this.

[ratherastory]

Yes, well, this is something I would have LIKED to see in Swap Meat, instead of that random boy with no personality and a really random side plot that added nothing to the overall mytharc.

This one kind of ate my brain as I was writing it. I don't think I've ever written anything this fast before. I blame pkwench. Her prompts DO things to me.

[jessebee]

Brilliant. Just brilliant.

[ratherastory]

Thank you!

[embroiderama]

I love how you wrote this--Dean's growing discomfort inside Sam's body, the weird draw he felt to the demon, and then Sam's patience taking care of him. I would also really love to see this from Sam's POV. :D

[ratherastory]

Thank you so much!

I can't even *begin* to imagine what Sam must have been feeling during all of this. The levels of confusion and betrayal and anger and total understanding...

I'm really glad it worked for you. :)
