SPN Fic: To Everything A Season (12/14) (Gen, R, FutureFic)

[dodger_winslow]

Sam was being an emo bitch and wouldn't tell me what his problem was. But he finally copped to it, so we're up and running again. When I left you last, thought I was at a scene break. Turned out not so much, so we're resuming where we left off, mid-scene instead of new scene. Again, blame Bitch Emo-Sam. It's not his fault, but he gets blamed for

New part. *squee*

Okay slight question, Phoenix, when they destroyed the Demon and Dean was possessed, is this a reference to another story? Or is this new info? *scratches head*

"Sam would step in front of a train for you."
That surprised him. Not only that she said it; but the way she said it, like she had no patience for anyone so stupid as to not be able to see something so obvious.
"I know that," he said finally, just so she wouldn’t think he was really that stupid.
"Good. Because he would."

I think the difference here is a matter of interpretation. Sam has and will always draw lines at what he`d be willing to do for Dean, aka not doing what Dean did for Dad, giving himself up. Yet he would absolutely step in front of a train for him. But he wouldn`t do everything for Dean.

For Dean it`s all or nothing. And if it`s not all, it showes a lack of caring (of course not true but his perception) because he does it, why can`t the others. He is willing to do everything and if he has to swallow his own wants, he`ll do it each and

No, Phoenix is a totally offscreen thing. Had to kill the demon to tell the story, and wasn't interested in telling THAT story just to tell this one, so I just had a "they caught the demon and killed it in Phoenix" pre-fic thing in place. So no, you're not missing anything.

I'm not too sure Sam has lines when it comes to what he'd do for Dean. At least, not in the short term. He's more functional about putting what he needs into the equation than Dean is, but in the short term, I don't think there is anything he wouldn't do as a knee-jerk response if it meant saving Dean. The way I see the show, Sam is all about the Dean. Just as Dean is all about the John.

I know others see it differently though.

I don't think the blocking in the premiere really supports the idea that Dean saw Mary, but figured that was a small fudge for a bigpayoff, so I went with it, justifying it by the icon above. :D

Thanks for clearing up the Phoenix thing for me. You do realize that you now have to write this story too to satisfy my curiosity? ;)
I...I even did write a shortish story where John comes off as a nice Daddy. And I plan to write one more.

With the lines I meant both long-term or short-term. Sam would never sublimate his self for Dean or anybody else. Even Dean doesn`t fulfill this criteria 100 % because no human being could IMO but he comes closest so that`s my definition for "all." :)

[dodger_winslow]

Wooo whooo! We're gonna turn you into a John girl yet. Well, okay, at least turn you away from a clock-John girl at least. :D

I can't agree with you on the Sam thing, but we often disagree on that kind of stuff, so that pretty much puts us right on track, doesn't it? LOL

[dolimir_k]

This section hurt. A lot. Hopefully it was all cathartic.

But I loved Danny being a manipulative bastard with Julie and Dean. With Dean being so much like his dad, how could Julie not respond.

I also liked the talk between Sammy and Danny. Danny believed him! It scared the crap out of him, but he believed him.

So you're going to fix this in two more rounds, huh? I'm dying to see how you're going to do it.

Please don't make us wait too long. This story is killing me! I need relief soon! *g*

[dodger_winslow]

Danny's still got some revelations to make. Although seriously, I was dead set against clarifying what happened to his mother, and how that affected him in terms of his need to save and his spirituality. But he just wouldn't shut up, so I gave in. Danny's kind of like that. He's a manipulative bastard ... :D

Two more rounds? LOL. Yeah, THAT's gonna happen. I have no idea how long this sucker is going to end up. Everytime I change the end number, 4 more scenes write themselves into the gut of it. I'm not adding on to the end, I just keep putting stuff in that pushes the end back.

Sad part is, I've actually written an entire other fic while doing this that I'm trying not to post until I finish with this one. Which is kinda killing me, cause it's done. Ah well. :D

Yay--new chapter and the total chapter count didn't go up this time. *g*

So much uncomfortable confrontation in this chapter, but it's all necessary if they're going to try to fit these two families together somehow. The scene between Dean and Julie, from the point where Dean slumped down against the wall, made me cry a little bit. *sniff*

[dodger_winslow]

Yay--new chapter and the total chapter count didn't go up this time. *g*

LOL. It will. :D

I'm jazzed the Dean-Julie scene worked for you. I've been holding that one off as long as I could, knowing once Julie met Dean, she'd never be able to resent him. Just as he'd end up liking her even though he doesn't want to. But I wanted to let them be bitchy about each other as long as possible before I put a cap on it.

[leelust]

What a gift on Sunday. And how am I suppose to wait 2 last chapters, huh? After all that were saying in that part? You just rip my soul out and my mind break to billion of pieces and never'll be glued again. I'm mentally disfunctional right now and this is your fault. Those scenes between Danny and Dean they blow my mind completely. Written so perfect. The angst and tense so thick I can feel'em, frak, I can touch'em. You're perfectly inderstanding things you writing. Story so real bet Kripke would kill to have it. And un the end when I was like, oofff, trying to relax a little Sam said it. All those thing flying in the air but never revealed till now. OMG, what did Danny think in that moment! That he's going crazy or he just meet only crazy people? He's standing there so smart thinking he knows all the secrets of the world anr there's Sam with his confession. It must really help Danny understand what John went through but it completely blows his mind and perspectives on life. Now Danny has whole picture can't wait to see what he'll be

[dodger_winslow]

Thanks! I'm glad this is hitting you so hard. I worry a little that it has gotten awfully heavy on the "sitting around talking" part, but the revelations I need to make can only be made this way, so I'm trying to keep it going pacing wise, even though so much of it is back-and-forth dialog about what has happened, and how it is viewed differently by all involved.

As for Danny and the truth ... I figured he couldn't get out of this without finding out his world isn't what he thinks it is. He needs to know what John knows if he's going to help John. That's a great deal of the reason I wrote his spirituality the way I did. I think it would be easier for someone like Danny to accept the existance of demons and the like than someone who didn't believe so fiercely in God ... and have such an antagonistic relationship with Him.

[leelust]

Are you kidding? All Season hitting me like that. Every new chapter is like holiday for me. Scare to think what would I read after next 2 chapters. And again are you kidding? "sitting around talking" part is one of your greatest abilities. Along with description of what every character think in the moment and how he get those line of thoughts.
Am I mistaken or all thing are not clear for the brothers? Can I hope that will be another part like "sitting around talking" between Dean and Sam? To clarify all the questions between them

[dodger_winslow]

Thanks so much. I appreciate the re-assurance about the "sitting around talking" parts. I always hope I'm not boring anyone with the exposition, but it helps to know for sure.

And oh, yeah, there'll be more. Right now, Danny's on a fact fiding mission from the boys. Pretty soon, he's going to start sharing some things about the reality of John's life with them, as compared to the perception of it, that will, hopefully, turn some of the story elements on their ear. At least, that is the intent of it.

I've actually got my lovely beta checking the next part right now. It went a different direction than it did diffently, and I needed her thoughts on whether I'd gotten self indulgent. So hopefully, have another chunk pretty soon. :D

[phantomas]

Love it. Damn if you didn't have me tearing up at Dean and Julie's conversation.
Love it all. :D

[dodger_winslow]

Thank ya. That entire evolution of Julie and her antagonism toward Dean came directly out of something you said in your beta that Julie was coming off a little too selfless in the way she was viewing things. That she needed to worry a little more for herself and her family. Which directly led to the way she viewed Dean, and the eventuality of this scene. Because, as is almost always the case, you're 100% right in the things you see. You da BETA woman! And you rock (thus why you get the rockin icon!)
