another spn ficlet

[grace_fully]

more for the sake of archiving. a brief piece in response to oxoniensis' prompt at a roundtable prompt & fill last month.

[the current prompt & fill is still going on, and the theme is "on our way home," and you should go fill, and then prompt! and then read the awesome ficlets that are already there!]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Love it. A gen fic with both boys naked = rare fannish unicorn that perfectly sums up their relationship to me.

[grace_fully]

SO MUCH IN AGREEMENT. i still tend to be shy of sam/dean, and possibly it's because i can imagine SO MUCH within the bizarre and close relationship they already have.

[grace_fully]

thank you so much, madame! pensive nights, i'm all over 'em XD

[countess7]

man, this is GORGEOUS.

you know our boys so well. reading this was like watching a flashback. though, honestly, when sam says the only thing that ever listened to me was a lake i wanted to SMACK his SELFISH FUCKING FACE. because that would kill dean inside. for him to hear that sam always felt so alone, that he had no one who LISTENED. but you know, dean doesn't really listen to him. and you're right. he probably never has. he hears what he wants to hear. and yes, he knows sam very very well (wedge antilles, hello) but it wasn't until the finale of s5 when he finally HEARD sam. and man, that just sort of cut me to the bone.

so bravo, my favorite. my dearest. bravo. because that was 950 words of perfection.

AW thank you, lovely.

i wanted to SMACK his SELFISH FUCKING FACE.
okay, dude, i confess -- that was the part of me who has been mainlining candle beck podfic and obsessing over a shitty, selfish, oblivious pre-series sam. definitely an exaggeration but there is definitely that element of sam that believes he's always been "alone" in some way. and you're right, that would totally murder dean to know. OMG BOYS. WHY. ugh.

wedge antilles, i love you. I'D FORGOTTEN. so perfect. you kiddin' me? what don't i know about that kid. UNF.

it wasn't until the finale of s5 when he finally HEARD sam.
which was the EXACT MOMENT i fell about the deepest in love with them as i could get and why i continue to have ongoing wtfery over s6

<333

[countess7]

you kiddin' me? what don't i know about that kid. UNF.

YES. EXACTLY. THIS. FOREVER.

s6 upsets me, but like, i still prefer wtf!spn to NO SPN AT ALL, so.

thanks, love!

The first five paragraphs are just preeeetty. A perfect visual. And I enjoyed the interactions. Sam wants to ask, How you been? but he doesn't want to hear about the road; it'll make him sick for home. He knows Dean wants to ask, too, but doesn't want to hear about a life Sam has that doesn't include him. I like the contradiction, wanting to know, but not wanting to know.

thank you so much, this is incredibly nice to read! i enjoyed writing that line in particular because it is so true -- some things, you should talk about, and you just don't really want to know how happy your ex is, or what have you.
