Summary: Dean and Sam hole up by the sea in North Carolina for a while so Sam can switch his dolphin brain off and Dean can steal all the pillows..
Reccer's notes: A classic from the early days of fandom from one of the best writers there ever was in Supernatural. This is part 4 of her “Open Road” series, but does stand alone. All you need to know is that Sam sees spirits or ‘shades’ and needs a break every once in a while. This has quietly protective Dean, and such a sense of setting that you can almost taste the salt in the air, feel the night breeze, and see the turtles Dean tries to use to get Sam to stay longer. Maygra’s style sweeps you in instantly. There is a kind of throwaway poetry to it; never pretentious, always vivid, and her Sam and Dean never sound anything less than perfectly canon to me.
[Short excerpt]
He wasn't used to sex being this quiet or intense, but he wasn't surprised. Sam took everything too seriously; it made those rare bursts of shining joy almost too much for Dean to stand, even though he craved them the way he craved Sam's hands on him.
Serious was the wrong word though -- because Sam laughed easily in bed, said ridiculous things just to watch Dean blush or squirm, viciously used his long reach and longer memory to seek out every ticklish and weak spot Dean had ever failed to protect. There were a couple of pillows they were going to end up paying for and possibly one of the lounge chairs on the patio. Dean thought they ought to get a break on that -- everything was rusted from exposure to the salt air.
