Hauntingly beautiful. One think ya really enforced my hatred.

[guard_the_cards]

hatred of what?

[calijirl5150]

Oops, I was so worried about spelling hatred wrong that I forgot the "Cassie" LOL

[guard_the_cards]

aww why does this make you hate Cassie more? I mean she suffers from the common afliction of a lack of development but other then that wouldn't you get freaked out if you knew your boyfriend was hiding things from you and then told you that he fought ghosts for a psudo living?

That was really powerful. I really like the writing style you used - it really showed Dean's (for lack of a better word) confusion about the issue. I particularly liked how he told Cassie and Sam knowing about it. I agree with you completely , Sam may have been to self-absorbed and concerned with his own problems and anger with John, Dean and their lifestyle, but as he matured, Sam definitely would have started to notice the little things he hadn't before. It's evident in the show itself - we see Sam's transition from that self-absorbed, angry younger brother to someone more aware and compassionate towards Dean's insecurities and vulnerabilities. Your story really reflects that. Great story, amazing writing, such a sad (but realistically written) plot line. Kudos to you.

I wonder if it would maturation as much as distnance. When he was always around Dean all that stuff is the norm, you know and so when he gets away from him he starts being all "Um what, no that's not normal" I figure Sam had one hell of a culture shock at college. Glad the whole style worked, Dean is very vocal and he doesn't like to be made to seem helpless.

I think its all to a degree of how much dean would let anyone help. But glad that it worked well for you, and I think the whole confession thing, dean wasn't expecting it either really. So it was a suprise to all involved. And Sam more or less told him he knew, and Dean didn't know how to respond to that.

Man, that hurt.

I'll take that as a compliment -grin- Thanks!

You know, oddly and surprisingly, the first thing I thought of after reading this was if this was Dean's life, wouldn't it be a great actual het (so sadly rare in this fandom) sequel where somehow Bela and Dean are forced to open up to each other. Illusions shattered, pain revealed, similarities discovered. Sam would want to heal him sure, but honestly for something like this it would probably take someone who could both Really understand And romantically connect with him afterwards with that understanding. I don't know if anyone would ever want to write it (obvious hint), but I think it would be pretty cool.

Hmm... besides the fact that I didn't like bela (I tried really really hard!!) The only issue would be that she really does see what happened to her as abuse. Dean kinda knows it was abuse, or at least not Normal, but he refuses to admit that to anyone really. Bella knows that her father was wrong, that her mother was wrong for ignoring it, so the two wouldn't really have much to bond over. And I can't see them really doing more then going "Stop whining" at eachother.

It wouldn't be a good romance -sigh- Funny in all the wrong ways but not a good romance. Dean would NEVER admit his weakness (not that it happened but his bitchieness about it happening) to bela EVER, least not that I could see. He only told Cassie because he was drunk and in love, Sam only knew because he was there and he liked reading his psych text book a little too much.

But that's just in this verse, you should totally write it in a world where Dean is willing to admit it!
