Happy 8th birthday, Show! To celebrate this joyous occasion (and the 8th anniversary of the very first Wincest fic too), [livejournal.com profile] samdean_otp is having an Eight Days of Wincest challenge. Be sure to go over there and join the celebration! Here, have a drabble…

Season One

This is what Dean wanted. What he’s dreamt of, waking with a burst of relief only to realize he’s alone. What he’s longed for, in every way he shouldn’t. Sam is riding shotgun, filling the empty space on the Impala’s leather seat, in the depths of Dean’s heart. Sam is tall and strong, his jaw set with the determination that Dean remembers.

The glow of a streetlamp washes over Sam as they drive; Dean can see his brother’s throat work, stubbornly fighting back a sob. Dean feels the ache in his own. Not like this, he thinks. Not like this.

And this was my first Season 1/Stanford based fic, quite a few years ago now. Time flies! The Ghost of Somebody At His Side

Happy birthday, Show!

Let me just say, for approximately the ten thousandth time: OH BOYS.

SO GOOD. Sam's grief is so tangible.

Dean feels the ache in his own. Not like this, he thinks. Not like this.

Ahhh my heart. Thanks for this, it's really gorgeous. <3

Oh, sweetly conveyed angst. And a nice portrayal of Dean's inner conflict between what he wishes for himself and his care for Sam.

Ach, my heart! So much angst in so few words. You do it so well.

The Ghost of Somebody At His Side--what the heck!! I'm mortified that as many times as I've read this I never left a comment and I absolutely adore this story!

Thank you! I'm thrilled to know that you've read Ghost more than once too :)

Ah the sadness of Season 1 - it was simpler then.

It was, wasn't it? And still so sad...

I think that fits for a lot of what happened to them during the last 8 years. Oh boys.

Season 1 was so perfect, wasn't it? All that angst combined with monsters-of-the week.. miss it so. And this is a great dip into Dean's season 1 psyche.

I'll always adore Season 1, the season that started it all and changed so many lives!

Oh, what beautiful manly, brother angst! Now I must read this fic (obviously) *adds it to the list* ... if only the day was 48 hours long or I had a time-freezing laser in my back pocket. ;)

I'm so with you. Why do days go so quickly, especially when I'm not working??? lol

Drabbles pack in so much emotion into a very small space. I love these snap shots here and the running theme.
This first one I love the line about Sam willing the empty spaces and the desperate relief that brings. But already that final line of ‘not like this’ is haunting 🤗
