This Charming Sam

Oct 18, 2011 01:44

Title: This Charming Sam
Summary: Stanford-era: Dean has been looking forward to Sam's spring break for a long time. And nothing's going to ruin it. Not Sam's asthma, not John, and definitely not this thing they've managed to avoid talking about until now. Definitely not that.
Warnings/Spoilers: No spoilers, bad language.

OOOH I totally didn't even *THINK* about that but that completely does not make it invalid. (And I'm TOTALLY PLAYING WITH THAT in what I'm writing right now, omg). I went into detail about what I was thinking a few comments up ^^^ but essentially, yeah, I was envisioning it being a wincesty undertone. But honestly the Dad thing works too, because it's just the idea that the fact that (and I think we see this a lot in Show too) other people can't figure out and work out the details of the relationship between them, and that other people find it uncomfortable and frustrating and beautiful and rare keeps putting them in these hideous situations where they have to test and prove and define their love for each other, when really...they just want to watch the fireworks together.

Thank you SO MUCH for the compliments re. Sam, because I've been feeling really unsure about him. I LOVE happy Sam. I think my favorite line I've ever written is actually one of Sam's in this, the: "You're so fucking proud of me. How embarrassing for you."

Hee! Hope you like it!

I am so fucking enthralled by this, you have no idea. Absolutely your best so far. Sam and Dean's relationship is like AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH *head explode* All the stuff going on beneath the surface here, in combination with Sam's STRUGGLE WITH HIS FUCKING RELENTLESS ASTHMA AHHHHHHH MY BRAIN MY HEART.

You were clearly dropped on this earth JUST to write fic for MEEEEEEEEE :P

Seriously though. Awesome. It's really really exciting to see a fresh take on Sam and Dean's relationship. You make me so happy.

shangrilada October 18 2011, 21:04:09 UTC

I adore you.

As soon as you think of another idea, lemme know.

YOU ARE SO EFFING AMAZING!

Seriously, this is jut gorgeous. And I generally get all growly about Jess because I am a big giant stereotypical slash fan, but she's great in this, and I got my vindictive pleasure in Sam choosing to spend spring break with Dean over her so WHATEVER.

Anyway, your Dean voice is, as always, absolutely fantastic, and your Sam is so perfect. I love how well-adjusted and happy he is here, because that so leaves him forever later and it's very sad. Very mega super sad. This fic made me die with happiness and also SAD.

I love it. It's gorgeous. I will read it a bagillion more times.

OH WOW! Thank you so much!

I love happy Sam and want to protect him forever so I'm completely obsessed with Stanford fics, now. Expect twenty billion.

Have I mentioned yet that you're my new favorite author?

I never thought I could see a Stanford fic like this - with Dean skipping away to meet up with him in secret, with Sam bouncing on the sidewalk to be picked up, and then HUGS.

And oh my God, THE ROLLER COASTERS. How they'd never actually been on one, the disappointment of when they were ickle - and this, this paragraph:

The thing is tall and the way up to the first drop is ridiculous and Dean remembers about halfway up that he's never been on a roller coaster before and probably Sam hasn't either and it turns out they're both little bitches about it and cursing and and grabbing at each other's safety bars and rolling their heads around and Dean is so scared he's fucking laughing and Sam is fucking laughing at him and they go down the first drop and holy shit Dean's going to come loose, it's just too steep and his body can't fucking compute it and he doesn't weigh anything and he has absolutely no power over what happens to him and his little brother and on paper he would ( ... )

shangrilada October 19 2011, 04:32:21 UTC

YOU! I like you.

GAH I keep meaning to read your verse but I'm like terrified by the length of it because I'm a little bitch. I'm totally going to, though. I keep seeing it everywhere and hearing how amazing it is and I'm like MAN UP KIRA but so far I remain pathetically manned down, but IT'LL HAPPEN.

Now I want to do an Arizona gapfiller.

INTERESTING. but I probably couldn't torture Sammy too badly during it because Dean has to be all optimistic about it in a few days and where's the phone if I can't torture Sammy too badly??

BUT ANYWAY. I have one more thing in the works right now but PLEASE if there is anything you'd like to see, let me know and I'll see what I can do? I am ALWAYS wanting for ideas. ANYONE WHO READS THIS COMMENT. HELLO THERE. TELL ME WHAT TO WRITE FOR YOU. I AM YOUR ASTHMA SAM SLAVE.

Yes.

So.

THANK YOU FOR READING <3 <3

!!!! It is delightful to hear you've heard of Freak Camp and do want to read it. If it's just the length scaring you - you can allot a chapter a week (as we first began posting it)? Until you want to read more. :) We have had quite a few reports of people pulling all-nighters to read the entire thing.

*nudges you toward the http://freac-camp.livejournal.com/517.htmlmasterlistAnd Brose INSISTS I tell you, just in case you somehow missed the key themes and warnings that are EVERYWHERE, that our story is not meant for everyone and it's rated NC-17 through a lot of Part One for very good reasons, and please see the extensive warnings. Even though I'm pretty sure, if you say you've been seeing it everywhere and hearing about it, you know already. Also, Part Two has massive amounts of hurt/comfort, so you can skip to that if you like if you really don't want to read Part One ( ... )

shangrilada October 19 2011, 05:35:04 UTC

Yes, let me know if you think of any!!

Thanks for the info. Hooonestly the other reason I've been dragging my feet is I'm not sure if I could take it. I'm in a Holocaust class right now, and I see descriptions for FC and I'm like WOW THAT SOUNDS AMAZING but jesus I'm getting beat down by this, y'know? Sometimes I just need some Winchesters on a roller coaster.

Holy mother of.... You're voice is incredible. I have never read a Sam like that in this fandom before. Dean, maybe, but Sam? You killed it. Him. This. Just beautiful. Clearly, I'm not as eloquent as you but you get the idea.

shangrilada October 19 2011, 05:12:49 UTC

OH WOW. Thank you so much. (and I am only eloquent when I'm in someone else's voice, obviously, because if you look at me in the comments I'm just flailing around everywhere.)

seriously, though, what a fantastic compliment, thank you so much. I'm not as confident with Sam yet, but I so love writing him...and I love when he's happy.
