March-Stalkers Mighty: 7/22

Passus IV: Pes dexter.

Dean stared at Cas in sad, sad betrayal. “Pretty sure you’re not meant to be playing words that kicked it three hundred years ago, guys.”
Cas’ mouth quirked slyly. “If he can, I can.” Then he carefully played nudiustertian.

I want all the things. Dean is so damned smart and so stupid at the same time, he's driving me crazy. Surely Sam isn't going to leave the only people who know he's more than a dog, no matter how confining the village is? And yeah, Sam has that way of believing that anything at all, however gut-wrenching, can be fruitfully discussed. It's a flaw. But he's not one of those troll-arguers, "ha ha, you're getting all emotional, I win." He just... there's stuff he's not afraid of, and that stuff includes having a deep intellectual discussion while standing in an emotional inferno. He just has a high pain tolerance in that particular direction.

You have me worrying about Castiel and about Sam -- I don't think he's going to run away to be a dog, but I'm willing to believe that function follows form eventually -- and about Gabriel, which is making me feel a little feverish with impatience myself. Dean isn't meant to be a traitor to anything, much less everything. I get that killing off your main characters isn't seriously an option in this story, but I want more NOW.

No, Sam just genuinely deeply believes that everyone should talk it out in painful depth and he can Fix Things that way, possibly with big staring earnest eyes. And then hugs.

Which doesn't really work on everyone. Especially when you've killed their brother.

Dean just drives me crazy consistently throughout this whole story. It's a thing. :)

The function follows form idea is an interesting question, because I actually wrote this chapter not long before [Spoiler (click to open)]Bobby's ghost came back and that became a major question in canon. If I do an extra from Sam's point of view (beyond the single-scene one-shot that I've got sitting around for the Sabriel mini) that will definitely be part of it.
