Reccer's notes: Another one of my favourite writers of Sam/Dean. She can do it all so deftly - humour, angst, scorching sex, believable banter, and pitch perfect character portrayals. This combines all of the above in a wonderful case-and-vacation fic
[Short excerpt]
They bedded down on the two big velvet couches slowly dying in Martinique's living room, kitty-corner to one another. She gave them pillows and blankets and left a charm-candle on the coffee table to keep off the ghosts, then turned off the lights and went upstairs. One of the cats that wandered in and out of the house jumped onto Dean's back as soon as he'd gotten settled down just right, and refused to get no matter how he tried to twitch it off.
"Fuck it," he said, giving up, and let his head thump back down. The cat purred victoriously.
He was drifting off to the sounds of the old creaky house when out of the dark, Sam said softly, "Dean, I'm not going anywhere."
And there it was again, that was his goddamn cue to say It's okay. You don't have to stay. Dean kept his mouth shut and pretended to be sleeping.
