Memefic: The Good Fight

The Good Fight

Summary: For the current H/C meme at hoodie_time, for biketest's prompt: When Sam and Dean decide to settle down for good, Sam is able to get a pretty good job and hold it down and it gives him some stability, but Dean is unable to keep any of his jobs. He'll be unemployed and have nothing to do while Sam's at work, he just sits around feeling useless

I really liked the bits about Dean in the various workplaces, his anger, his problem with memory, his frustration that he can't just hold down a job like Sam.

I trieeed to get everything from the prompt in but alas I didn't do much with the alcoholism. Which is too bad because I love that stuff.

Thanks for reading!

So sad, poor boys, poor dean. ...

[honeylocusttree]

But they have each other, and that's what counts. ;)

Thanks so much for reading!

[familybizness]

I love it.

There's not really anything else to say here.

[honeylocusttree]

Well Sam seems to think I should stop, but what does he know? :B

Thanks so very much!

Oh, ouch. This fill is perfect. I loved the whole thing, especially how it was so hard for him to even talk to Sam. And the panic attack in the porta-potty. And him being so depressed he can't even eat or get out of bed, I've wanted to read that for a while!! ;_; This is one of those fics that is so painful and real that I know I'll remember it at school and feel sick to my stomach for a while.

I just love your writing style SO MUCH. I'm reading One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest right now and your writing style reminds me of Kesey's in some ways.

My fics make people cry and feel nauseous...yay? Yay!

I was actually thinking about reading Cuckoo's Nest--I still might have to. I started it but the copy I was looking at had something spilled on it, so maybe I should look for one somewhere else. *notes*

Thanks for an awesome prompt! I hadn't planned to do a second fill for the meme but I stumbled on this one after finishing the other and it would've been more difficult *not* to fill it, so of course it had to be done. <3 So glad you enjoyed/were nauseated by it!

I love the spot where Sam decides they need to leave town, how he hits on something Dean wants, even though it comes as a surprise to both of them. It's just...cool. To me.

And I'm stoked you're writing! That's just cool too. ;)

I kinda always find curtain!fic depressing because one of the things about the show that appeals to me is the itinerant nature of the characters. It's a little sad to imagine them finally settling down, giving up the way they've lived for so long. That kinda came through here. That, and I can't imagine Dean wanting anything *more* than the chance to get out of Dodge. And Sam's being a good brother, because I LOVE awesome!deals-with-shit!Sam SO HARD.

Glad you liked this! I figured if I could get it done I'd sign up for spn_gen. Maybe. We'll see. ;)

[quickreaver]

You could totally do spn_gen. Totes! I'd read it like candy.
