SPN Drabble - May 2nd

[casey28]

I saw something on tumblr today about how nice it'll be for Sam to get birthday greetings from his mom, for the first time. I've thought about this too, but I see it differently. I wrote this drabble a few days ago, and though it's a sad thing to post on Sam's birthday, I still want to share it.

Oh, WOW, Babe. This is very good! It's pretty deep... definitely pulls you in to want more. Awesomesauce! x)

Thanks so much!♥ I'm glad that it "pulls you in to want more". Yay! :)

Ouch.

I do like how you're plumbing the depths of how Mary not raising these men should logically create some serious emotional distance, and how there'll always be this separation between her precious babies and the middle-aged strangers calling her Mom.

Still, I gotta hope that she would never in a million years do that to Sam on purpose. These guys have just been through enough, dammit.

Great drabble. I'm in awe of authors who can pack this much of a punch in just 100 words. :)

I'm glad you like the way I explored the emotional distance that she's feeling. It makes me sad that she doesn't want to be around them, or get to know them.

Mary's been keeping her distance (physically and emotionally), so it's hard for me to imagine her reaching out to Sam on his birthday. She hasn't shown any interest in him on a personal level (except for a brief moment in 12.02, but that was 17 eps ago).

Thanks so much! <3 :)

Aww, how sweet. I loved this.

Thanks so much! <3

Just gorgeous, my dear. Amazing work. I hope Mary will never do this to Sam... never ever!!!!
*hugs you and Sam*

[casey28]

Thanks so much! <3 It's a sad thing, but I can't imagine her wishing Sam a happy birthday... she has no interest in him!
*hugs you both*

This packed a painful punch, and you certainly explored a lot of Mary's struggles as she tries to balance hunting with family. I like to hope that she would never do anything this callous, but I do think that Show is showing more of hunter Mary than mother Mary, and I'm wondering if in the finale we're going to see her fight to protect and save her family from perhaps Ketch or even BMOL. Maybe even the ultimate sacrifice to prove her loyalty...

Thank you for sharing, and you should drabble more often! Take care :)

Thanks so much! <3

I felt the need to explore Mary's feelings, because she hasn't shown any interest in getting to know her sons, but somehow she still thinks that she is balancing hunting with family (even though she isn't). She doesn't want to know Sam on a personal level, so ignoring him on his birthday would fit with her behavior toward him. Yes, Show is showing us more of hunter Mary, and that's where most of her focus is.

I'm wondering if in the finale we're going to see her fight to protect and save her family from perhaps Ketch or even BMOL. Maybe even the ultimate sacrifice to prove her loyalty...I imagine that once Mary knows the truth about the BMoL, she'll side with Sam and Dean
