SUMMARY: A bloody, unconscious Sam is carried into a small clinic by strangers, and when he wakes up, he’s not himself. It’s up to Dean to track him down and bring him back, physically and psychologically.

That was beautiful. Fantastic, especially when Sam puts on the John hat. And this is NOT a theme that usually does it for me.

Thanks so much.

I haven't played much with John *g* but he seemed a good fit for this fic. I'm thrilled you thought it worked.

Cheers!

Ooh now that was perfect. Absolutely perfect. I was worried when I first saw this prompt because I knew it would be a challenge to be done and done well, but you did it. In fact you blew it out of the water. My heart broke for both Sam and Dean here and I adored Bobby for playing along with 'John' - and yet, I was still able to pick up how much he adores both those boys. Dean was spot on and Sam, as John, and them himself? Awww... He broke my heart because I do really think he sees himself as being weak in his father's eyes. So it was awesome to see some defense to that concern, even if wasn't really John Winchester who heard it :) Absolutely awesome.

And I agree totally with the doctor, both those boys are gorgeous :)

Thanks so much for that awesome feedback.!

It's funny; as I was reading through the prompts for this challenge, I read this one, thought 'that sounds cool,' then kept going. My muse was parked on my shoulder though, and kept giving me a poke, saying "No, write the fugue one, write the fugue one..." So I went for it. *g*

It was a fun way (for me, if not the Winchesters *g*) to get the brothers to open up and talk. It's easy to remember Sam and John butted heads, but there was love there, too - so, hopefully, this showed both sides of the coin.

As for the boys being gorgeous, anyone who disagrees, IMHO, needs an urgent visit to the eye doctor. :-)

Thanks again!

Well done! I think you filled the prompt really well. Loved it.

[scullspeare]

Thanks so much. Really glad you enjoyed it!

YAYYYY!!!! You are awesome beyond words for taking this prompt on and writing this wonderful story!

I loved how you told it through an outsider's point of view. But, best of all was Sam using John's persona for his new identity --that was brilliantly written and so true to the trauma he's been through.

Again, thanks a million for writing this -- you've totally made my day! :D

[scullspeare]

Phew! For me, the biggest pressure from a challenge like this is completing the prompt in a way that makes the prompt-er happy. I'm thrilled to know you enjoyed it.

It was really fun to write Sam as 'John' - and wouldn't it be a great acting challenge on screen for JP to channel JDM? I, for one, would love to see it.

Thank you again, and I'm really, really happy this hit the spot.

Cheers.

P.S. LOVE your icon!

I adore outsider POVs and you spun a great yarn. Great job!

[scullspeare]

Thank you.

I'd never written an outsider POV before, but it seemed a good fit for this prompt. Glad you enjoyed.

P.S. Awesome icon - it's almost hypnotic. I find myself pulled into it each time I glance at it!

Sleeeeepy...you are getting sleeeeeeepy...*picks pockets while you're loopy*

But thank you! I drew it for a fic series by monicawoe, which you should check out because they're GREAT reads! 'Theosis'

[scullspeare]

I'm afraid if you pick my pocket, the only thing you'll get is lint - and you're welcome to it. *g*

Your art really is awesome though, and thanks for the story rec; Theosis sounds fascinating - I'll definitely check it out. Cheers.
