In this fandom I like the brotherly love as much as I like the slash but this piece just seems to sound better without the slash lol Maybe it's because I've always wanted an older brother of my own so I'm drawn towards Dean protecting Sam.
When I first came into this fandom (was there from the pilot onward) - I immediately picked up on the love and the protection vibe given off between the brothers and that's essentially what drew me to this show. I loved how desperate Dean is to protect his brother at all costs and I loved more than anything, the subtext of a love that shouldn't be there, but was, between the two of them. It was unspoken of course, but watching them looking back from the screen at me - I could tell with looks, touches and the way they joked back and forth

Aww, thank you for reading it dearest! You actually brought tears to my eyes - which is hard to do, lol.
I'm so happy you liked it! I wasn't quite sure how this was going to go over because I'm usually pretty wordy and this was a severe departure from everything else I've written. I felt really....naked, for lack of a better word, when I put this up because it's so different and I think it cuts right down to the core of Dean - which is a scary thought because of all the walls he puts up.
Anyway, thank you again, so much! I wrote a sequel/companion type thingy from Sam's POV, but I don't think it's near as good as this one....y
You are more than welcome, it was one of the better pieces that I've read in a while. Aw, wow. I wasn't really trying to do that, but as long as they're good tears then I guess it's okay. :)
I like people who are wordy sometimes, but this particular piece was simply amazing. I don't think it was naked at all, in fact I think simple for this one, actually suited it. I feel like you were really able to channel exactly how Dean feels about Sam and the lengths that he would go to for his brother.
Plus, you had just enough subtext there to keep the Wincesty people happy and not enough that would seen the just "brother love" fic readers running for the hills. It's pretty rare when you find that kind of balance and you seemed to make it work.
Aw, well I'm definitely going to have to check that out, now that I know about it. *hug* You're more than welcome.
Totally good tears! Lol. I have very little confidence in my writing, so when someone gushes about it like you did, I just get all...well...mushy and such, lol. I have to say that you are the first to bring me to tears!

Whether you add the slash or not, the fundamental "older brother" protection is still there because that's who Dean is. He's a protector.
Glad you liked it hon!
