SPN - We Walked to the Sea, Just My Father and Me

May 09, 2010 17:27

Okay, I bagged on Manilow in The Misfits, but I love that line (the title) -- it's from Manilow's "Ships," and I've been wanting to use it forever. The Muse finally agreed, so there's this: Dean. A dream. An ocean, and a shadow that falls beside his on the sand.

They told him, "You have to be the one to end it." But he's just one man. And what ( Read more... )

dean, season 5, john

Nnnggggg!!! How do you keep doing this to me??

Although we all tend to think it would have been nice to have John in the show a little bit longer, I think Kripke totally made the right decision. Dean could never have become the man he is if John was still around. Much as he might yearn for the comfort of knowing he's around - just like this - it's only when John's gone that Dean really becomes more independent and self-reliant. (As long as Sam's around. Obviously.)

This was truly lovely. Very lyrical and poetic and demonstrating perfectly the enormity of the task facing Dean.

oh irismay, I love what you said as much as I love Carol's story! This was a beautiful piece.

This is just... wow. I don't actually have words to explain how 'wow' it really is. I couldn't even pick a favourite line because they're all my favourites. I think I am mindblown - what a way to start my morning.

Thank you for sharing this amazing piece of work.

It's morning where you are? Huh! It's still the weekend here.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the story. I wanted to do a little bit of something to finish off the weekend, and this was the result. Thanks for the kind words!

You are on a roll. And I've just gotten over yesterday. :sob: I don't even think I can be coherent about it. It just all achy and sad but there's some hope too.

Winchesters. Breaking my heart one fic at a time.

I guess I am! It feels good. I really hate those stretches of time where nothing comes through in my brain - writing really helps me relax and detox from RL.

Glad you enjoyed the story! Now, to decide what comes next...

This was lovely. 'John' reassurring Dean,that he has what it takes to fight against the Apocalypse. Love the symbolism.

ficwriter1966 May 10 2010, 00:09:34 UTC

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I love bringing John into the mix, even if he's just a shadowy figure in a dream.

This really moved me. I don't say that often. I hope Dean has had a dream like this. Thank you.

You're very welcome! I had an hour of peace and quiet before Sunday dinner - I guess it put the Muse in the right mood. I'm glad you enjoyed the results. :)
