This is... It's kind of sweet and adorable but it's also got this undercurrent of OW that just makes the sweet bits sweeter. It's just wrong for Mr Bun to be in with all the weapons, rather than being cuddled.

Although I'm thrown by the fact that Mr Bun actually has fur because, in my head, he looks like my sister's Woofles. Who I can't remember ever having fur - he's always been a collection of flannel patches.h

Having no idea what a Woofle is (or, it just occured to me, is that Woofles as a proper noun?), I did a google image search and came up with this.

Thank you for the feedback! I suck at pure fluff, I'm afraid, have to be nasty with everything I write *sigh*.

:)

Hee! Yes, Woofles is a proper noun. He was originally vaguely dog-shaped (although my sister spent twenty years thinking he was vaguely donkey-shaped - I don't know how she explained the name Woofles if he was a donkey) but is now just a... shape. Of yellow flannel patches.

The easiest way to wind my sister up into fire-breathing fury is to threaten Woofles.

It's hilarious. *g*

it took me quite a while before i got it. *facepalms*

There was a button in the kit, Dad’s voice is gruff.

Couldn’t find it, Dean says. No time.
aawwww. you know how to slay a fangirl. *flails*

very nice, i like the progression. you should let your oxygen-deprived brain take over more often! ;)

Hee! That's... probably my oxygen-deprived brain being overly obtuse right there.

♥ right back atcha :) thanks for feedbacking. I'm glad you liked it!!

Maybe it's just my sleep-deprived brain taking a bit longer than normal... Or a combination of both ;)

i feedback very little in the last time, but i figured this one really deserved a comment. :)

OH MY GOD YOU KILLED ME DEAD AGAIN STOP DOING THAT.

The repetition of You always saw red clearer, with your button-eye. and the way Mister Bun sees all of them, and the way they treat him, and the edges of the growing-up and the OH GOD I AM JUST SO FULL OF LOVE and now I must go hug my threadbare toy rabbit and remember the time my Dad had to go back to the park at night to get her and I was so right, this story needs to take over ALL OF FANDOM WITH ITS MIGHTY WONDERFUL POWERS.

*giggles*

There is a toy rabbit, and the Winchesters cuddle the toy rabbit. BUNNIES.

My sister had a toy rabbit called Ned, i think it was even velveteen, and its fur was darker where it wasn't faded under its HAT. and it got lost. and one of my strongest/earliest memories is playing outside with our toys, dry grassy summer, dusty eucalyt and driveway gravel and reverently peering under ned's hat at the darker fur.

er, anyway.

I'm so glad you like it :D ♥

hey, that seems like plenty good feedback to me! I'm so glad you enjoyed it :) I only read The Velveteen Rabbit recently, it was referred to in a fandom theory book, actually!

Thank you so much for coming out of lurk-dom :) Your comment has made me very happy :D

This may be the best outsider POV I've ever read. Wonderful!

There are some truly gorgeous lines in here...
It's never really silent, unless Sammy's not with you.
That just says it all, right there. Unbelievable.

...whispering comforts to you while Dean slept silently, an arm’s reach too far away.
So much longing.

He’s always held you with both hands, and gently.
Mr. Bun as proxy. I adore it.

Are you saying I smell like a mangy old rabbit toy?
No, that it smells like you. See? You’re pressed gently to Sammy’s mouth, the familiar easy warm-damp as he breathes in, out.
Smells like Mister Bun.
This just makes me want to laugh and cry at the same time.

But my favorite image is one you repeat ('cause you know it's brilliant, don't you? *g*)
You always saw red clearer, with your button-eye.

This story just makes me happy in about 30 different ways. Thanks so much for sharing.

(BTW: lea_ndra had a 'Mr. Bunny' in "To Wish Impossible Things'. I'm sure there are others!)

angstslashhope August 23 2006, 13:10:13 UTC

aha! of course it's lea-ndra's story. *grin* thanks!

And thank you for the lovely feedback. All the while I was writing it (before I started, even) I was kind of face-palming and all "oh man, like anyone's going to want to read something from the POV of a toy, let alone in second person!" So, um, it makes me really pleased to hear that you liked it :)

heart!! Thank you so much for commenting.
