[Supernatural]: Catch Them Unawares

Title: Catch Them Unawares
Fandom: Supernatural
Summary: Follows "Beneath the Trees" and "As Long As They Please" in the Sam-doesn't-do-Stanford AU. Things change. Maybe.
Notes: I'm not as sure about this part as I have been in the past, but it was there, or pieces of it were, and this thing has gotten into my head... so.

OH GOD THIS WAS SO GOOD BUT SO PAINFUL AT THE SAME TIME. Although I honestly would watch Supernatural if the show went like this, because its a really gripping story. And I love that Dean applied to college for Sam, even if it killed me that Sam just brushed it off. And the nightmares, with Azazel, and Sam just not caring about it. And the fairly epic blow-out at the end. Oh, Sam...

FREAKING AWESOME. I WANTS MORE. ^_^

[minviendha]

THERE WILL PROBABLY BE MORE. AND PROBABLY SOON. THIS THING IS FREAKING ADDICTIVE. I swear I like pain or something. I don't even know. Also omggg thank you so much for the compliment! And yes, Azazel is all trying to get to Sam and Sam is just...too far gone.

Only that blow-out...it had to come. And I think it might be the first step to getting somewhere. Maybe. Maybe.

I kind of hate this 'verse because it's killing me. But I also love it, because it's killing me.

Painful as this was, I can't help but feel that Sam's breakdown was actually a good thing. At least it's progress. Maybe not for the better, but then anything has to be better than being stuck in that moment, forever.

[minviendha]

I hope it doesn't actually kill you, because I would be really very sad. :(

I think it was. At least it's a release, and it's an outward manifestation of all he's been dealing with on the inside, so...that's good? Maybe? I don't know, honestly, but this verse has set up shop in my head so I do doubt it's going anywhere.

I'm crying and I hate you and I could've sworn I left a comment for this the first time I read it, but I expect the crying and the hating distracted me at the time. I love this 'verse, I love your writing, I love you (really, I do). I hope there's more to this story someday! Also, you're evil. And I'm still crying.

[minviendha]

I think I am getting mixed messages here. XD

WELL. Anyway, thank you for the lovely comment! ...and the crying, which sounds awful but, well, that is what this 'verse is intended to evoke. I plan to write more in this 'verse almost certainly.

...have a tissue on me? Consider it payback for the brilliant fics of yours that have made me cry. Or something like that, because I always enjoy every minute of it.

Yay, I found another part!! Again, truly amazing!! It is addicting!! I'm a big giant Limp Sammy fan and I've found my fix!!

Your writing and imagery is awesome and this whole AU about Sam not going to Stanford, so realistic, seriously, I can totally see this happening. So real and emotional!!

More please !!! I mean if you are going to, that would be great!!

[minviendha]

I plan to write more, yes! There is more in my head anyway, as soon as I can get it out properly in a way I don't hate.

I'm really glad you're enjoying this - it's been a fun project/experiment for me.

Oh God... my chest hurts and I'm trying to keep breathing here with Sam but is so damn difficult! I really don't know how you manage to keep the bar so high, but you do and it's painful, and perfect!

Sam's detachment is starting to wear away, leaving only hopelessness. I love that Dean is finally reacting, showing his desperation and blaming himself. But oh, dear, it's not what you did, it's what you *didn't* do at the right time...

The flashes to the YED are creepy and brilliant by the way.

Thanks for another masterpiece for this wonderful 'verse! *runs to read the fourth part!*
