Tell Me You Understand (Excerpt) 1/?

[broken_cinders]

Hi there! I bet you thought I had forgotten you, but never fear. Since this has turned into a plot yeti (it's a novella now and has completely overtaken my original nano project), I thought I'd leave a snippet here. It's still a little rough around the edges. Thanks for the awesome prompt! Hope this was something like you were looking for

The next day Sam only deigned to emerge from his room to spread all of his work on the coffee table in the living area without even a good morning. Dean shrugged it off and moved back to his own room to sort through his clothes in anticipation of having to make a run to the laundromat. He heard the phone ring around lunch time, but knew Sam was closer and would get there first. Except the phone kept ringing. By the third ring, Dean was storming from his room. “Sam! The phone

The next morning, Dean woke with a resolve to get down to business. No more distractions. He got up and had oatmeal ready by the time Sam stumbled out of his room. Sam grunted a greeting at him and dug into his food while Dean nursed his coffee

That afternoon, as Dean was staring at Sam's bedroom door again, he had an idea. He took a deep breath and knocked gently on the door to Sam’s room

Dean fell silent, mouth still open, trying to process everything that Sam had just said. “I…what

Loved this and I'm really glad to hear there is more to come! I really liked how you did it from Dean's POV and there were all these signs that the reader could pick up but Dean didn't understand it. And it's so like Sam to not tell anyone and try to deal with it himself, even going as far as to get audiograms by himself. I guess he thought he could keep it secret by relying on lip reading. Oh Sam.

Thanks! Poor Sam. For all that he's brilliant he can be a bit thick sometimes. Dean is my absolute favorite PoV to write from. He's snarky and observant and just really wants to protect his family. I loved the idea of discovering Sam's dilemma along with his brother. I'm glad it's working here!

Omg I need the whole story now!

It's coming! It's coming! Unfortunately my boss seems to think I actually have to show up for work, so really it's her fault it isn't done yet. I'll for sure list it in the comm when it's up!

Oh, man, I was so excited to see this had been filled, and then I didn't have any time for nearly a week to actually sit down and read it. So sorry this review took so long, but...

OMG I WANT TO SEE MORE. I am so sorry not sorry AT ALL that this has taken over your NaNo because this is amazing. I love the setup you've started with, and both boys are written so well. It was great to see all the little clues, all the tiny things that show that Sam's attitude isn't for the reason Dean thinks it is. And Dean, feeling out of his depth in dealing with his brother but still trying to make an effort and figure it out.

Really excited to see more of this! (And wishing you good luck on your NaNo! I'm ridiculously behind schedule on mine, lol.)

Aw shucks, thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying it. At last check this story was about 20k. I'm really close to finishing it and starting to edit. It should be up around early December.

Sam might be my favorite, adorable bundle of walking disaster, but I love the way Dean handles it. He's so wonderfully imperfect at it and most of the time I just want to give him a big squishy hug until he feels better. I kinda fell in love with the idea of him telling the story.

I really have you to thank for being ahead on my NaNo. I'm sending lots of cookies and encouragement for your NaNo. You can do it!

How will I know when you post this? I can't read the snippet without completely losing myself to checking for an update everyday. Will this be posted on fanfiction?

[broken_cinders]

Hi! I usually try to post simultaneously on LiveJournal and fanfiction. Your welcome to follow either account, but I will also be announcing it in the comm when it goes up. I'm not going to set a date because I'm really, really bad at deadlines, but I'm hoping another week or two. Depends on how quickly the last bit of editing goes and how fast my beta can get it back to me.

[amararae]

Thank you, so much.

Update

[amararae]

Hey I just wanted to make sure that you are okay, since I haven't heard from you in over five months. I get worried about people, easily. Just let me know.

[broken_cinders]

Your so sweet! I'm fine, just crazy busy. I've moved three times since last I posted and have been working like a mad woman. I just came off two 18hr days at work, because sleep is for losers! :D Actually, I was close to posting another excerpt because it has been taking me so long to get this to a presentable point.
