This was just perfect my dear! I knew you'd do a fantastic job and you certainly did. I loved both the boys here, with Sam discovering so much about Dean and getting the chance to be the big brother for a change. I'll comment more tomorrow but just wanted to say thanks so much I LOVE it!
Just rec'd this on my friends list. I think you captured the boys so well here and you handled Dean's condition with sensitivity and understanding. I loved the humour too, with Dean confessing to actually liking granola and sometimes eating it secretly, oh Dean! But it was Dean's reaction when he realised something was wrong that just floored me especially this line..
"“It’s wrong, I’m wrong. I…” Dean takes a long, shuddering breath. “I’m fucking scared and I can’t control it.”
For someone like Dean who had always been in control and always hidden his real self behind so many layers it would be terrifying to find himself unable to filter his words and you described it perfectly.
And then his guilt at 'causing' Mary's death, wow, that broke my heart. I can imagine Dean feeling like that too and often wondered why his eyes bled too in Bloody Mary. It was a great explanation as to why he didn't speak for a year after her death too.
I'm being greedy here but is there any chance of a follow up? Pretty please??
Oh, woman, don't tempt me please! Although, we have a saying in french "creuser sa propre tombe" meaning, litterally, "digging your own burial spot" and figuratively, well... It's my own fault for writing something that could oh so easily become a verse. I even hint it at the end. I would say that it would be so interesting to see where this divergence in canon would lead me, I LOVE playing with canon this way, see how a little change could change big stuff. And I wanted to save Dean from Hell :D (no Sam dying at Cold Oaks, no Dean selling his soul, right?) You know, at some point, Kripke said they had an idea about why Dean's eyes bled in Bloody Mary and that they just couldn't figure out how to fit it in the show. It was a long time ago, so I guess now we'll never know but I always had this idea that it must have been related to the night Mary died and this was the perfect occasion to test this theory. I'm really, really glad you liked the story, and I'm honnored you recced it at your lj page. <3 <3 <3
Well, you have to thank JJ 1564 for the idea, but yes, it was so much fun playing with Dean's personality and the show's canon. Glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for taking the time to comment. It means a lot. <3 <3 <3
