Title: Let the Ashes Fall
Words: ~6000
Pairing: Sam/Dean
Rating: NC-17
Summary: Set in Season 1. There'd always been something wrong with Sam. Dad knew it, Dean knew it, even Sam knew it. Yet no one talked about it until Dad finally told Dean and ran off into the night to leave him with the mess. But Dean will never leave Sam alone, not even when they come to admit how all these fires keep starting, and definitely not when they finally relinquish all control and let go. Title from
James Bay's "Let It Go".

HERE Notes: Written for
spn_reversebang for
expectative's prompt seen above. The framing and colors really struck me and I knew that
expectative would be easy to work with! Thank you for letting me take this where it dragged me this week! <3333
I'd originally gone with J2 as firefighters but just couldn't get my brain to work it all out into a coherent story, so I shelved it. Then this last Monday I was just randomly chattering about other possible prompts with
cleflink and this was born. Extra special thanks to
cherie_morte,
rozearkana, and
riyku for encouraging this. And finally to
souslelys for helping with last-minute beta <333
