fic: threadbare

Feb 17, 2014 13:34

TITLE: threadbare
RATING: PG 13
GENRE: gen, h/c
SPOILERS: up to 9.13
WORDS: 1817
CHARACTERS: Dean, Cas, Sam

( This is the thing about Dean. He’s fine-or at least he can pretend to be-until he actually has to express himself. That’s when he falls to pieces. That’s when Cas’s heart breaks; as he watches Dean struggle to hold himself together enough to simply put six words together without choking on his own vulnerability. )

this was beautiful. I wish it was the way the show went about this scene, then I my heart might not be in pieces.

I hope you don't mind, but I wrote a rec. for your fic. You can find it here:

"This is the worst part of being friends with the Winchesters. The part they never told him about when he signed on. Castiel can accept the necessary violence, the new and various enemies accrued purely through association. It’s to be expected. What isn’t to be expected is this terrible feeling of being pulled in opposite directions by the very people whom he’s relied on to guide him." This! I hate having to chose sides. But I too wanted to dump the soup on Sam's head.

Haha. Cas is the original extreme dean girl! Thanks for reading!

Gorgeous.

"But the one cause that he will always be sure of, the one battle that he knows he’s always on the right side of is the one to save Dean Winchester. Cas knows no one more deserving." Damned right. Thanks for this. I feel a tiny bit better now. :)

YES. Thank you. I'm glad this helped a wee bit!

God...I'd almost forgotten how depressing the last episode was. Thanks for reminding me.

...Awesome fic, though. Even if it did hurt my feels to read it.

i_speak_tongue February 18 2014, 02:17:01 UTC

Awe, thank you! And sorry, feels.

Wow! All the feels! All of them!
Love this. Really lovely to see this arc from Cas' pov. God and you write so perfectly *sighs*
Just wanna squeeze them all and make it better : ( x
