“What Dreams May Come”

Fandom: Supernatural

Title: “What Dreams May Come”

Pairing: Mention of past Sam/Ruby. Can most easily be read as preslash Dean/Castiel.

Rating: Uhm, probably a borderline PG-13-ish, maybe (?)

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from Supernatural, more’s the pity (seeing as how they belong to Kripke and to the show’s writers)! What I

It was sort of difficult to read with the really big paragraphs (I couldn't even read the A/N) but I think it was amazing and sort of sweet.

Castiel falters, falls back a step, hands fluttering up towards his chest, confusion and fear and desperate longing chasing themselves across his face like clouds racing across the sun. I loved how you described Cas in this line.

Great fic

Thanks. I'm glad you liked it! Sorry about the long paragraphs. Things don't seem to translate just right from the page to the computer screen, when it comes to the length of paragraphs. I keep tripping over that, when I try to post things. I should probably go back and try to break things up more . . .

This was good. I always like fics where Sam and Castiel talk/become friends.

Except, the long paagraphs were killer on my eyes and the A/N -- I'm sorry but I didn't even attempt to read it; it was way too long and compact and one-paragraphy.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked the Sam and Castiel bonding. I think if those two could make common cause like this, things really would be a lot easier all around.

Sorry about the long paragraphs. Things just don't translate right from the paper to the computer screen. (My handwriting must be a lot smaller than I think - nothing ever looks nearly as long as it must, or people wouldn't keep reminding me that it's hard to read longer paragraphs online.) If I get the time, I'll try to go back and see if I can break things up more, to make it more readable!

I am currently blushing like crazy over the compliments

[cenedril_kura]

Love it!!! I really love how you wrote Sam it was just awesome!! Hope to read more soon!!

[polgarawolf]

Thank you so much! I've actually got a second one written out longhand (because I'm still waiting for all my computer access at work and spent most of the day scribbling in my notebook, to keep myself entertained), so hopefully I'll get it typed up this weekend and posted soon!

This is more than a little awesome.

Though, I will agree with r0k, that some of the larger paragraphs were kind of hard to get through, but they were well worth it.

Any thoughts about a sequel?

[polgarawolf]

I'm going to try to edit this some, to break up the longer paragraphs some more and hopefully make it a bit easier to read for folks. (Of course, the longest one in the piece seems to be dialogue, of course, so that should be interesting to break up . . . *Sigh*) I'm glad you liked it, long paragraphs and all! *Lol!*

As for a sequel . . . well, I'd thought this was a one-shot that would be promptly Jossed by the next episode. And, well, it kinda was. Except then it occurred to me that Sam would have even more reason to be pissed off at Castiel and worried about Dean (and especially about Dean having been hurt by Castiel), after the way their meeting in that episode went, if this still happened first. And that led to scribbling, which led to a story, which I'm hoping to get typed up this weekend. So it'll be a sequel, but a sequel shaped a lot by the recent episode, "Good God, Y'All!" It's not going to be as hopeful as this one. But the ending should (I hope) help make up for the angst!

[ladyyueh]

Cool.

I think I see your Zachey problem. Ouch. I'd suggest breaking it up with Sam's reactions to his words at certain points? Or Zach's relish or movements?

That's all I've got. XD

[polgarawolf]

I'm going to alternate trying to edit with trying to type the new story. Hopefully, that way both will get done this weekend.

*Lol!* That's precisely what I was thinking. (You read my mind!)
