Supernatural Finale and Fic Recs
So. How's everyone doing?
It's Sunday night here in Oz. I watched the SPN series finale late Friday night my time, after I got home from my PM shift.
[Finale Spoilers (click to open)]I started crying at the Barn Scene and kept crying for the rest of the episode and then cried for an hour aftewards, before going to bed at 2.00am. I actually had a crying hangover the next morning, that's how much I cried. I have been an emotional wreck all weekend and I'm just glad that I have three days off to recuperate after the finale.
Y'all, I cannot believe how hard I am grieving for a fictional character. Well. Two fictional characters. I'm grieving Dean's death and I'm grieving for Sam's loss. His death at an advanced age was comforting, because I knew he'd be reunited with Dean. But sheesh. I knew I loved Supernatural...I've stuck by it through some pretty sucky writing...because I love these two brothers and the actors who play them are awesome people. But the depth of my emotional response has really surprised me.
I know some of you are feeling a bit the same way, so I figured I'd check in. How are you feeling today? Do you have thoughts? Questions? Are there things left too open ended that you need closure on? Have you read any good post finale fic?
I have read a few so far which resonated for me:
This namelsess drabble by anniespinkhouse, described as A little headcanon for the faceless lady watching Sam play catch with Dean.
He Tells My Story by zubeneschamali: Missing scenes for 15.20. Spoilers abound. One of the ways Sam learns to cope is by helping kids who've lost family to the supernatural. It becomes something a lot bigger.
Some and Now None of You by Goldmonger: This pain is not something that will go away. This is a wound that will bleed for his entire life.
EDIT (because I knew I was missing a couple!!)
Don't you cry no more by Amypond: Sam and Dean get the ending they deserve. Or do they? (somewhat ironically named because it made me cry a lot more!)
Peace when you are done by Lovetincture: Sam and Dean reunite in heaven. Sam reflects on his life and the things that have brought them to this moment.
And JJ reminded me about this one!
