Supernatural Fic: Never To Be Told...
There is a good chance that this will come out as soup, as I have not updated my journal since the new update page arrived. Wish me luck.
I've not been this nervous about posting a piece of fic for quite frankly, years, which makes me both old and a little pathetic.

As ever, I love your descriptions, always so easy to picture, even these short pieces.
Chilling 'plotline' woven through also. I think it plausible that Dean would reveal the secret in bits as became no choice. I love the way you reveal this too Even two months from now, after Dean repeats their father's confession and Sam's understanding flipsides, when he manages to stop shaking long enough for, "Is that everything?", he won't know that Dean is mentally adding, "For now." and Sammy has secrets of his own, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely...

Indeed. I think it's interesting that we haven't come back to it yet, because having done that once, no mater how scary, how could you resist testing it? My own theory is that the only reason Sam could do it iss because Max could do it and that one day soon Sam will get pushed again and the power, what it is will come out differently. That would be scary and a built in safety trigger, stop Sam being a wunderkind, which we know Kripke doesn't want, smart boy.
Have you considered posting at spn_gen? You're secretly bending spoons, aren't you? I did post at SPN_Gen about to hours ago and I've had a couple of nice ( ... )

the sun pulling out of the water, riding the roads - it's sort of listless and hot and dusty, but also really tightly wired, and actually pretty frightening. the idea that their father was *warning* him about sam. that gives me chills, and i don't even know who these people are.
lovely job, silver.

I've watched far too much of this kind off thing not to pay very close attention to the exact choice of words! I'm convinced it was a warning.
I think Elzed needs to loan you her boxset. It's got a bit of fantasy, hoyay up the wazoo, good stories and it's funny to boot. Plus, pretty. And the fic fandom is brilliant. In the second series it's often tense as fuck too. I like being scared when it doesn't involve creepy Japanese horror movies.

This has this achey, poignant, searing quality about it that's amazing - you get to something I think is very essential about the Winchesters, and that's their isolation, the way they're so distanced from the world of average people and average things, and - at this point in continuity - how distant they are from each other.
Until then he'll do what he can. Keep updating the file. Keep telling himself he's doing the right thing. Keep kidding himself that maybe they'll win this battle. Keep hoping that when they come to fight it, they'll be on the same side.
I love love LOVE how you sum up the core conflict of this season up in these few words here. It's gorgeous. Thank you so much for letting me know about this, sweetie! I'm hopeless about my flist lately - always behind. But I'm always thrilled to read anything you write. *hugs*

Aw, baby, this is BEAUTIFUL!

I'm so glad you liked it, really I am, for you did indeed pique my curiosity in rather an extravagent fashion.
the way they're so distanced from the world of average people and average things, and - at this point in continuity - how distant they are from each other.I'm so impressed at how the writers have managed to passively portray and sustain angst in essentially a genre/action show that has it written into the rule book that it *doesn't* do angst. It's quite startlingly good when you stop and think about it. I also find it interesting that for all his brotherly nudging- open up Dean, tell me how you are other than fine- Sam has not had one of those moments himself, not even close. He asks questions, he drops odd words and phrases every now and then but in terms of volunteering information? We've had, "We were just starting to be brothers again," and saying he's scared of visions, but wtf wouldn't ( ... )

I never thought about that, but you're RIGHT - Sam hasn't really dealth with the daddy death issues any more than Dean has, and he's clearly fucked up about the visions stuff but his avoidance technique is to focus in on how DEAN feels about them rather than admitting to his own anxieties.
That's exactly it! They're both much more like the other than they'd care to admit and I really do think that JP and JA have a great rapport that only comes from luck and bang on casting- they know they're in roles that are really suited to them and obviously get on well.
If they go deeper into these things - which I'm pretty sure they're going to, given what I've hard - we could have one HELL of a second half of the second season. =)The *only* thing I've heard- I'm being determinedly spoiler free- is that one episode takes place insded Sam's nightmare. It's written by Sara Gemble, one of my favourite SPN writers and I'm so excited it's untrue ( ... )

I'm rapidly seeking inspiration, believe me. I loved writing this story and I'm so overwhelmed by the response I got to it with such kind wordss as yours. The SPN fandom is very friendly!
