"Slow," Dean says, "slow."

There's bradycardia and there's bradycardia; there are skips and there are skips.

They're cross-legged, ouija-style, facing, fetches bracing across a circulatory highway.

The witch gave them one heart. Left them their hands.

"A little faster," Sam says. Black gnats in the peripherals. A high whine.

"Goddamnit," Dean says. Fingers brush Sam's wrists dust-chilly as the archive, where there's a book, where there's a spell.

The Bunker fills, rushes, rights itself, contracts.

Cor aut mors, Sam mutters, heart or death, choose, be chamber-to-chamber or none.

A word and a blood-flash splits them, aortic arch, rips left, carotid, subclavian--

it's his pulse, damn it, his to keep, stop, count, give---

"Sam!"

Their fingers spark apart; they gulp in the breath of the beholders, palms slapped flat to their own chests on their own arcs of their own circle.

"Witches,"Dean mutters.

It's always been theirs.

<3. I've been rendered inarticulate by your work, and by *all the cool stuff on here*. Glad to do my part, heh.

Brilliant conceit, two people, one heart. I love all the little way it's made literal--seeing black specks because they're not getting enough blood to the brain (like when you stand up too fast) and Sam's wrists dust-chilly.

Love the moment they rip apart--aortic arch, carotid artery, I love your biology.

Love poor Sam's desire to reclaim his bodily integrity one more goddamn time, 'It's his pulse, damn it'...

Sam and his bodily integrity--man, it's one of the hardest things to handle about the whole series, I think.
I love your comments. <3

Oh yeah! The curse, the archive, the biology (I don't even know what half of it means but damn it's cool). And then,

"his to keep, stop, count, give---"

Well if that ain't just the Winchesters?

Fantastic!

Glad you liked this bit o weird science-magic (!), my friend!

Bah. I've always been of the mind that magic is just science we haven't nailed down yet. ;)
