Equivalence (Entry Page)
Author: rei_c
Title: Equivalence
Pairing: Sam-centric. Gen.
Rating: PG-13, for death and subtle blasphemy
Word Count: 15,900
Summary: Forced to return to Palo Alto, will Sam survive a brush with his past that he never expected?
Warnings: S1 spoilers, all the way through. Run-on sentences. Out-of-context use of the seven liberal arts (trivium plus quadrivium). Any and all errors relative to established SPN-canon, the Bay Area, and/or anything else spoken of herein are mine and mine alone.
Disclaimer: I own nothing except the vague elements of spotty-plot, four hundred and eight books, and one very demented and incredibly paranoid cat.
Author’s Notes: Dedicated to everyone who has kept up with this ‘verse and read my ramblings, encouraging me to keep going. Equivalence takes place post-series and belongs in the FI-verse. It can stand alone, though it is a definite part of this ‘verse.
They stand there for a minute, listening to the traffic from Alma Street, two blocks away, drift in through the open windows, and then Dean asks, “How long will we be here?” tone cautious even though Sam thinks Dean’s trying to play the question off as a casual one. It’s a good question, though, and one that Sam’s not sure how to answer. It took him weeks and he’s still calling Missouri to ask about things, and though he can read more than caution in the way Dean’s standing, Sam doesn’t know what that stance is supposed to mean. He thinks about it, then shrugs, “Dunno, but I don’t think it’ll be more than two weeks. Being here before her power breaks should make it easier. I’ve never done this before. I don’t know.”
Dean nods once and says, “She’ll sleep for a while if she’s anything like you were. I’ll be back in the morning.” A month ago, a year ago, Sam would have let Dean go, but that was then, so moves to stand in front of the door and asks, “Where're you going?” Dean opens his mouth to answer, but Sam shakes his head and says, “No, Dean. You scared the shit out of her with the protective big-brother line, and you can’t back that up if you’re gone.” He pauses, adds, “Please don't go,” and Dean looks away, jaw clenching and unclenching, and eventually steps back and says, “I’m not sleeping on the couch.”.
