A low, rumbling hum assaulted his ears as he bobbed his fishing line off the bridge. Something big gusted from behind him, but when Jim Rogers turned to look, stillness reigned on the road; not even the air had moved. Everything was as still as it had been not five seconds before.

The hum disappeared as quickly as it had come, and Jim was tempted to shiver against the creepiness. A warm sense of safety washed over him, though, and he shrugged to himself.

Whatever spirits had passed must mean no harm, but good for this little town.

I like the outsider point of view here, and especially the fact that the boys gave off good vibes. People felt safer with them around, and rightly so!

"You see that fisherman?" Sam presses the demon's face to the back window and points to the man fishing off the rickety wooden bridge they've just driven over.

The yes is muffled. Can't be easy to talk with your hands hog-tied and your face squashed flat against a window. But then that's the point. Sam's fed up of the complaining, and Dean, well, Dean is cranky today. He's just given Sam an ultimatum - shut the creature up, or they'll dump him, no matter how useful he could be. Dean has a low tolerance for annoying, sniveling demons, especially when they insult the Impala. From the way the demon's been going on, anyone would think a little impromptu trip in the Impala was worse than a lifetime in Hell. And the Impala does not smell. Sam's surprised Dean didn't off the demon the moment he said that ( ... )

OMG OMG OKAY THREE THINGS MADE ME FLIP OUT IN QUICK SUCCESSION:

1) it's a species character flaw.
OOF man felt like the worst kind of insult, referring to demons as "species" -- so general, generic, stripped of all their Big Bad and made to be "just another."

2) Sam puts his boots up on the back seat and sprawls out comfortably, winking as Dean catches his eye in the rear view mirror.
all manner of sexy, whether appropriate and brotherly or not. i don't care how deep that connection goes, just so long as it's there.

3) and Sam's back in the front seat where he belongs.
EPIC. not a truer word has ever been said of these two.

Time to pack it in. The sun was down, last bit of gold still lighting up trees down on Mccreedy's drive, reflected off high cirrus clouds, but the river under Deadman's Bridge was dark and the breeze had started to blow cold. One more cast. Line hit the water and something went for the bait- circles bending against the current-something big ( ... )

Glad you liked it! I just had to think of something grabbing that poor fisher just as they passed by- and thought; what else could it be but a vampire squid!

Hah, that is so right for Supernatural - happy, relaxed scene and suddenly teeth and blood and the guy's gone!

And I love Sam and Dean's little argument!

Awww.-
"I gotta be outta state in ten minutes but I'mma get you, you little fucker."
oh, Dean- he just makes me laugh.
And Sam probably didn't like fishing, but he'd have to be happy just because Dean scored!-so yeah, there's two things that didn't change.

Ahhh... just lovely. Loved how Dean was hyper aware of Sam throughout, relishing the small victory at the end. You got the S6 vibe beautifully.

Dean switches out the spinner and mumbles, "I gotta be outta state in ten minutes but I'mma get you, you little fucker."

"Not like we can take him with us, Dean."

"Missing the point, as always, Sammy," he smirks, and flips his line out.

My favourite bit:-))

“It was here, while waiting for my brother, that I started this story, although, of course, at the time I did not know that stories of life are often more like rivers than books.”
- A River Runs Through It by Norman Maclean

“Dude, we should try that.”

Sam was busy reading a crease in the map, ears on autopilot.

“Yeah? What’s that, then?”

“Fishing.”

Sam smoothed the map out some more. “Sure thing, Hemingway. Listen, I’m pretty sure we took the wrong turn before that bridge back there. We should-

“I’m serious.”

Sam blinked, had to backtrack for a minute. He opened his mouth to fire off another Hemingway quip, but Dean had one eyebrow up and his right shoulder dipped, clearly waiting for Sam to just answer him already.

Sam shut his jaw with an audible click. “You’re... Wow. Really? Fishing? As in...what, poles, bait, freezing our asses off and standing still for hours?”

“Hey, we sat still for eight friggin’ hours yesterday, waiting for that damn poltergeist to show. Least this way we might get something to eat out of it ( ... )
