13 x 19: Lament (is a title, not my reaction to the ep!)

For spnapo, a thing inspired by caranfindel's
Cold as a razor blade, tight as a tourniquet, dry as funeral drum, and by the Sam &; Rowena dance I wanted to see after 13 x19. Caranfindel's fic is dark, funny, rich, witchy, and perfect (not to mention rhythmic as a spell)--<3!

Okay, this is just amazing, and every time I read a line (or re-read, or re-re-read), I say "Oh, that's my favorite part." Spontaneous combustion is rarely either, and reapers don't bargain, but we do, and bullet packed with poppy and Sam's beautiful black heart... SO GOOD. <3333

I loooove this and the original fic and the whole dynamic of Sam & Rowena that we've been given. That surprising unlooked for unique understanding they keep sharing and now this bloody Gordian knot of fate. Sam is bullet packed with poppy,//bless his beautiful black heart. Rowena's POV on Sam is so interesting to me: she has a cold, clear-eyed understanding of his weaknesses, but judges them differently from anyone else in his life. It's ambiguous what about him she finds so appealing--his untapped power? similar history of trauma? compassion which she wishes she were capable of? but the affection is undeniably there and it's so interesting to me that she won't shut it off, even though we know she's extraordinarily capable of hardening her heart against those few she loves. Set that against Sam who is softer-hearted in many ways, but does still have this cut-throat pragmatism in him that makes him capable of killing a woman he truly cares about.

"the whole dynamic of Sam & Rowena that we've been given": me too! (and yes, how it is both unsought and unexpected...) Also agree with your take on the shared pragmatism, the shared sharpness despite Sam's softer heart...

So glad you liked this, z!

(BTW I was just thinking about our exchange on frontiers the other day...)
