Title: No Way to Say Goodbye
Pairing:Sam/Jo
Rating: PG-13
Notes: For joans23 who wanted hurty Sam/Jo, Still my heart held on when it found that kind of love. Some stuff stolen from the song "Happy" by Jenny Lewis & the Watson Twins (because lyrics like this: And I think we're at our best/By the flicker, by the light, of the TV set/Because I can't remember

Wow. That ending--OUCH! Definitely hurty!

I always say this, but whenever I read your Jo fics, I always get this knot in my chest. So when it's angsty Dean/Jo or Sam/Jo, it's a really, really big knot.

And I'm in love with that opening scene and this line spreadsheets and quarterly budgets crumpling between them.

Thanks for sharing!

P.S. I loved picturing Sam taking care of the baby!

[brin_bailey]

Sam + baby is ALWAYS good. :)

oh. OH! That last line ruined me.

There's something about your writing that always gets to me. I love it.

[brin_bailey]

Aww, thanks. :)

*sobs* Beautiful! I'm not real into the whole sam/jo pairing, but I like your writing so I read it anyway and I'm glad I did because I LOVED it! Fantastic. So much hurty-ness and so, so... them! Was I right in guessing Jack is Dean's son? Oooh the angst factor went through the roof!
Wow, you know I could actually feel the cold when I was reading this and I could so picture the scene of Sam asleep with Jack in his arms. A perfect amount of angst and you killed me with the last line.
Can't wait to read more from you!

[brin_bailey]

Thank you. :)

And, yes, Jack is indeed Dean's son.

I knew it! I knew there would be glimmers and memories of Dean hovering!
I just love your Jo/Sam (even though I'm not into the pairing at all) because you usually do this and it always works... It's because really it's the only way I can maybe possibly see Sam/Jo working.

And in case it isn't clear loooooved it! Perfection on every lever!!!!!

[brin_bailey]

Heh, there's always glimmers of Dean. ;)

Much thanks, doll!

Maybe if they loved each other they could make this work, she thinks. Maybe if he didn’t hunt and maybe if she wasn’t so mean and maybe if they both knew how to keep promises. Maybe if she hadn’t fucked his brother.

Brinny. How are you this unbelievably brilliant? HOW?! IT BLOWS MY MIND!

Angst up the wazoo with Sam perfect and Jo perfect and it's where my soul wants to live forever!!

God, you're good.

Flatterer. ;)
