You totally make Sam's fear palpable--and his terror at seeing Lucifer is what gutted me about the episode!--and I would love if there was a secret plan in place...
I'm so glad Sam's fear came across. His fear gutted me too. And concocting a secret plan is how I'm coping with that fear for the duration of hiatus...because I can't bear thinking about Sam being trapped with Lucifer for all that time.
This is a Really Big Issue. Do it properly or leave it alone. Preferably the latter. THIS!!!
This was fantastically written, and as you probably already know, I simply adored that intimate BM scene where Sam and Dean stood to close and traded soulfull looks. :)
“Let’s go over the plan again,” he says, foot tapping relentlessly against the library floor. “Let’s not forget; God’s in the detail, guys.” The Devil’s in the detail too, but they’re counting on nobody remembering that. This is such an excellent observation and I sincerely wish anyone had thought of this during the episode. As opposed to Sam dashing off with Rowena because "it's now or never" for reasons totally unknown...
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed the BM with the soulful looks! :D
Yep, the now or never dashing off really pulled me up. In my version Sam allowed himself to be rushed, because whether Dean was there or not made no difference to The Plan and he was nervous and wanted to get it over with! In my version Lucifer and Crowley and Rowena are the ones who've overlooked the fact that the devil's in the details, because I can't stand the thought of Sam being trapped, powerless in the cage with Lucifer. This is me pretending (hoping) that he actually has control over the situation! :D
Perfect!!! It feels like a long time to leave Sam in the cage with Lucifer, and the whole time during this episode, I was thinking, why is there no Cas? You could definitely be on to something here, with a secret plan - I sure hope you are anyway!
Plus, you captured Sam's fear so well; the paralyzing nature of it, as he tries to channel his past bravery.
Thank you! I needed this too! I'm so scared for Sam, trapped in the Cage with Lucifer. :(
You know, I didn't even notice the lack of Cas while I was watching, I was so absorbed by what was happening with the boys. And then Ash48 pointed out that it was hard to believe that they wouldn't have consulted Cas who, after all, had experience in entering the Cage to retrieve Sam's soul. And once I'd remembered Cas it became my headcanon that they did talk with him off-screen...and it was a small leap from there to this is all part of some clever plan! Okay, wishful thinking on my part...I just wanted to give Sam some control!
Oh sweetheart, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this! The idea that the Winchesters are really in control, that they planned it all this way, is SO enticing after what I watched last week, I cannot even tell you! And of course, Castiel is part of the plan! Team Free Will rides again!!
Thank you so much for restoring my faith in all the manic goings-on of these wonderful, courageous characters!
Thank you! I needed this too. I couldn't just leave Sam in the Cage, so vulnerable, I needed to give him some power in what is an incredibly horrific situation. And as Ash48 pointed out, it just didn't make sense that they wouldn't have talked to Cas about this! So glad you enjoyed. :)
This is great! And it makes so much more sense that Castiel would be in on whatever they plan AND that they actually have a plan! I would love this to be the case - that they anticipated a double cross and they have a way of getting Sam out of the cage before anything happens to him.
This sent chills:
He wants Sam. He believes he owns Sam. And he will hurt Sam, if he gets a chance to.
*meep*
Thanks of this. I think I'll spend the hiatus thinking that it's all part of a plan. ;)
Thank you! I kept thinking of Crowley's line: "Am I the only one who doesn't underestimate those denim-clad nightmares?" and decided arbitrarily that we were all underestimating them; that they had a plan and had, as you say, anticipated the double-cross. But mostly, my heart couldn't cope with spending hiatus thinking of Sam trapped with Lucifer, vulnerable, powerless, and in real danger of the most horrible torture and hurt. So yes, Sam's scared, sure, but it's all part of the plan and he's going to be just fine! (If I say it enough, it has to be true, right?) :)
