Oh, Sammich. *Smooshes* Yay Dean for fixing up his baby, and dude, his ribs were so totally broken. I loved this, it just feels right. <3

[kettle_o_fish]

Thank you! Dean's ribs were totally, at the very least, bruised. That was an impressive fall.

*smooshes*

H/C fans dream. Hee. <3

This really makes me wonder how much the show is going to go into the hell memories next season! And if they'll reference Dean's stuff too or what. I always feel like they forget about it lately.

[kettle_o_fish]

I'm not going to hold out much hope for any more hell memories just because of the show's track record, but that bit when Sam was standing next to the wrecked Impala does make me wonder. I mean, why put it in there if he's all hunky dory?

Then again, why do alot of the things the show has done if you're only going to ignore that it happened.

I would love to get some real screen time for Dean's issues too. I know there's some wank going on about the morality of his decision to wipe Ben and Lisa's memories and while the decision does strike me as a Really Bad Idea, I was so heartbroken for Dean at the end there

[wishflthinkr]

It seemed like he was still dealing with the stuff and it wasn't just magically repaired by putting himself back together subconsciously. I don't think we've seen the last of him dealing with that stuff. Or should I say, we better not! I would feel so cheated.

The memory stuff with Lisa and Ben... done to protect them, but seeing as he still remembers everything, they could still be used as leverage, they'd just have no idea themselves what was happening. So... it's not entirely logical, really. Though still heartbreaking, obviously.

They really seemed to have been referencing the drinking and other stuff a lot lately, but I can't figure out if that's going to actually mean anything or if it's just kind of like yeah, we know, oh well.

[kettle_o_fish]

I would feel cheated too. I mean, we spent the past season biting our nails. I feel like, "SAM'S FINE. SURPRISE!" would be a huge cop-out and a waste of a(nother) storyline.

Personally, I'm still crossing my fingers for the return of powers!Sam. But I'd settle for drinking-too-much!Sam, especially if it meant, possibly, getting Dean into Rehab for Fictional Characters or something.

The memory stuff is just...I have memories that I don't particularly like or what, but they make me who I am and if someone just poofed them away, it would be like taking a part of my identity away and I don't know what kind of person I would be after that. So, there's the mourning for Ben and Lisa in that sense...but then you think about Dean's headspace and you've got to wonder just how low his opinion of himself is. GAH.

I miss silly slutty Dean. :/ Seriously, the current state of things in SPN-land just make me so sad every time I watch S1 and S2 DVDs.

Really nice work! I'm looking forward to that whump!fic when it comes.

[kettle_o_fish]

Eee! I'm so pleased to even have a bunny that involved whumping Dean. I've been trying and trying and trying to catch one for so long. I hope it's worthwhile.

Very intriguing! Looking forward to reading where you take this.

And Dean scares me. He just, he really scares me.

[kettle_o_fish]

And Dean scares me. He just, he really scares me.

Me too. His inability to see his mistakes as he makes them, and reconcile those bad decisions as anything more than "just the way he is" is terrifying. It makes him really dangerous. That whole "road to hell is paved with good intentions" thing.

*hugs Dean-n-Sam-n-Bobby*

Bobby always wonders how someone so deadly, so damaged, and so destructive…can be so gentle.
It truly is amazing how gentle he can be. I think after looking after wee Sammy for so long, Dean's paternal instinct is highly developed.

*volunteers for nightmare-soothing duty*

[kettle_o_fish]

Dean could definitely be an incredible parent in the right circumstances and an amazing person if he would just...let himself. *huggles him*

Nightmare-soothing duty pretty much consists of a massive cuddle pile, usually an hour or so after Sammy falls asleep. I'll see you there!
