The Kite-Eating Tree

"The kite-eating tree doesn't stand a chance."

Written for the spnflashfic prompt "hidden talents." Thanks to luzdeestrellas and amberlynne for looking it over.

( The Kite-Eating Tree is a deciduous tree of indeterminate type. According to Charlie Brown, it is impossible to tell a kite-eating tree from non-kite-eating by sight until it catches a kite in its branches, which it slowly devours. )

Oh, I love the way Sam is all upset and doesn't really know why, and I love finding out why, and I love Dean-with-kids, because he's *so good* with them, and it always reminds me of how good he must have been with Sam, and then you went on into how good he was with Sam, and. yay! :) Thanks for this!

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. And yeah, I think Dean being so good with kids is definitely a residual of how good he was with Sam growing up.

This is so adorable. I love it. Sam all worried, and then we learn why and it's just...awwwe! And I just took a Winnie-the-Pooh psychology quiz that had all these quotes from the book, and for some reason your prose really reminded me of A. A. Milne. Lovely!

Thanks so much! I'm so happy you liked it.

This is gorgeous. I love how you tied it back into their childhood.

God, Dean with kids just *melts* me, and I also loved overprotective Sam (who probably subconsciously remembered that broken wrist). This was just lovely.

Thanks so much! I'm so happy you liked it. I adore Dean with kids, and yeah, I think Sam was totally subconsciously recalling the last time they flew a kite. *g*
