The Good Soldier ~ SN Fanfic

[gigglingkat]

This entry is a coda to witchofthedogs   The Good Son. You are strongly advised to read that one first. Otherwise, the only thing I will tell you is that Dean made a deal with the devil.

Warning: This fic deals with Catholic dogma and imagery.  If this is not your thing, move on.  I will still love you in the morning.

Okay, so I reread witchy's fic...then I headed over here. Again, I love how dense the opening section in: the descriptions, the relationships. Awesome! The description of how the war in Heaven came about...beautiful, and I love how it echoes witchy's fic.

If you ever thought of him you would mourn, but it is not your role. You are the good soldier. *sniff*

And then...SAM'S DEAD?!? I freaked out! The description of hsi stillness as opposed to the movement Dean is used to was so poetic.

Then John...kills me with his orders; but I love him because he saved Dean.

Triumph, and I'm shaking with chills. Awesome, awesome! So wonderful!

The opening sections of both fics is my interpretation of the dogma and witchy's poetry. (She makes all my ideas purty!) The Archangels Lucifer and Michael are just... neat to me. They are the only angels mentioned as self aware - that see can see themselves separate from God. All the others are defined as instruments of God. Lucifer corrupts other angels by making them prideful. It never works with Michael. That just floors me.

I'm sorry! I had to kill Sam. Mortal death is the only way I could get Dean to the same choices. It is not redemption and penance if you do not actually lose something. Michael gives him right back!

*worries the SamGirl no longer loves her*

I wrote this before Nightmare. (well before Nightmare) but my feelings about John echo Sam's. He did NOT do a good job raising them. But his world was shattered by the loss of his wife and his reality was turned inside out by the supernatural. He was in too much pain to see straight. I want to smack him but I can see it.

YAY! You liked it!

No worries, honey...I'll always love you! *hugs* The parallels between Michael/Lucifer and Dean/Sam are haunting. I love that you ladies focused on this theme - there's nothing else like it out there, and what you've written is awesome! (Though I'm glad Dean got Sam right back..) And ~ how much do I love that this fic inspired picspam! So great!
