SPN fic: Dazzleland 9/10
Chapter 9/Coming to Grief
WIPPITY WIP WIP: Gen, PG-13. WIP, penultimate chapter. Horror/drama.
Big Fat Violence: I have a really high tolerance for violence. I do. Some of the rest of you, maybe not so much. In addition to the phenomenal body-count, this chapter is also incredibly…gut-wrenching. Fair warning, don’t read it if your meds are ( Read more... )

This is amazing.
Oh Dean. Oh Sam.
I think what broke my heart the most - and alot of things broke my heart here - was the last bit with Dean and the dead sister and all his resigned grief. It's too much for him but he goes on because thats what he does.
Your depiction of Sam's departure and the events that surrounded it could, for me, easily fit into SPN canon. My heart breaks so much for both boys there.
Excellent work.

Yeah. I'm a bit gutted, writing this stuff. So I can imagine reading it fresh. I knew going into it what it was going to look like -- you readers? Yeah, outta left field.
I really just wanted to write Sam going as not being this big blow-out, that it was slow and hard.
Ahem.

All i can say is that you really know how to torture your characters - which i adore because who doesn't love angst? It was heavy but brilliant.
I totally agree with you on writing Sam's departure as the result of a slow and hard process because i can't see Sam going as a big blowout because separations like this are rarely quick and sudden.
Oh and i just wanted to say how much I really adore your writing - Red is one of my top three, if not top, favourite SPN fics ever - And Dazzleland is not too shabby either (by which i mean BRILLIANT!) and i have been following your writing since about 3/4 the way through Red but i am this lurker who hasn't commented because i tend to be very shy about leaving comments but i decided to suck it up and let you know how much i enjoy your work! ^_^

Dazzleland is darker than Red, or at least more relentless. And it's got those damn episodes as bookends.
Next up will be lighter. Promise. I like the angst, too. But HELL.

This was my favourite line...
“We could keep driving,” Sam whispered suddenly, voice heavy and liquid with tears, drawing his brother’s gaze. “The two of us. Gas up and drive all the way to California.”
*Wails* Oh MAN. Sam wants Dean with him so much and Dean wants Sam with him, but they want each other in two such different places that it's never going to happen. Wibble.
And this of course...
“You walk out that door,” John whispered, “don’t you ever expect to walk back in.”
Sam smirked, but there were tears running down his face and the effect was more desolate than triumphant. “I wasn’t planning on it.”Oh SAM. Heartbreaking, what a glorious and REAL take on the Stanford argument ( ... )

Yeah, Sam wants Dean to come with him and on some planet Dean would like to go but in Big Pink's awful spn reality? Yeah, doesn't happen. Can't happen. Dean couldn't do it. Not at that point in his life.
But that's just my happy place.
I think that it's a rather sad fact that the Stanford argument was written in under 2 hours mostly because I knew that argument. Sigh. Wish I didn't, but there you go. Thanks.

This is what you live for, as a writer. Scenes like that. Like this. Thank you.

Yeah, yeah, I know, life. And stuff. And grocery shopping and eating and laundry and interpersonal relationships and work and life and freaking stuff. Still.
Write faster. Please.

Screw the laundry. I'll tell that to the smelly children. It'll go over big, I tell you.
