Fic: Five ways things might have jumped the rails [SPN]

[bratfarrar]

I promised kalliel fluff. This is not that. It's still coming, but this one shoved its way to the front of the line.

1. Like Real People Do

What did you do, Sam doesn't ask after the graveyard, after the bullet and their father's approving ghost, after Dean stops spending his nights in rundown bars and his mornings washing off the smell of someone

I like these…..

Glad you do! <3

These are so wonderful. I especially love the last one--I must've read that first line like five times before continuing because I loved the image of it so much, haha. And the jumble of rust and bones but also play and woodland creatures in that last sentence is sublime! <333 I'm also really taken by the last sentence of the first one--the hesitation, or unwillingness to prove further into whether this thing is or is not joy, just gives the sentence such a special quality that melds well with the feel of the section as a whole, with Dean returned to Sam, and the roads, and the football. Gorgeous work!

Oh no! I never responded to this fabulous comment--do not think me ungrateful, I beg you. :P

One of the things I love about writing microform fic like this--even though I rarely read it when other people do it--is that you can really craft all the little details, and the ones you've highlighted are some of my favorites. So I'm glad you liked them too! :D

What a collection! That last one really packs a punch to the feels, and I love the idea of the boys sharing the impala with their bones and nature all around. The final togetherness is what I love, and where my secret hopes lie for when Show comes to an end (if it ever does ;)

Thanks! I didn't expect to become as fond of the last one as I now am, but I too fervently hope the show makes clear that wherever they wind up, they're together and inseparable. <3
