Five Things Sam Wishes Dean Knew and One Thing He’s Glad He Doesn’t

Sam watches Dean sleep in the predawn light. His brother is most beautiful when he’s unconscious. Or coming. Any moment when he’s allowed himself to let himself go, when he’s no longer putting up a front. Sam thinks back, pulling memories and half formed desires up from the grey morning of his heart.

Dean doesn’t know that the first time Sam came, he wasn’t thinking of the little girl who sat next to him in Social Studies class. He was thinking of Dean. He was twelve.

Dean doesn’t know that when he arches his back against Sam’s touch Sam sometimes wants to cry.

Dean doesn’t know that Sam once stole the Impala and took it for a joyride. He was fourteen.

Dean doesn’t know that he’s not Sam’s “brother” or “lover”. He’s his Dean. And that’s everything. Labels become unnecessary just like everyone and everything else is unnecessary as long as he’s got Dean.

Dean doesn’t know, really know, that Sam would do anything for him. Sam knows Dean won’t let himself believe that one. The implications are too shattering. And Dean doesn’t think he’s worth that kind of love. He is.

And then there’s the thing that Sam is glad Dean doesn’t know. That Sam has figured out a way, the only way, to save his brother from the demon that will be coming around to claim his soul in just a few short days.

Sam sits in the predawn light watching Dean sleep, watching the grey of the gun in his hands finally resolving itself into a separate grey from the light in the room.


Three Things Dean Knows And One Thing He Doesn’t

Dean knows that Sam came for the first time thinking of him because the stupid little kid said his name right before he let out the little whimper that let Dean know what was going on in the other bed. He got up afterwards and jerked off in the bathroom trying not to think of anyone. It didn’t work.

Dean knows about Sam and the Impala. He let his kid brother think that he had gotten away with something. What Sam didn’t know is that Dean was shadowing him in Dad’s pick-up, just to make sure he didn’t kill himself. Or the Impala.

And Dean knows that Sam has figured it out. Dean knows what’s coming. Because Dean also knows that Sam will do anything for him. He gets that. So when Sam’s lips brush against his and he hears the gun cock near his ear, he smiles.

Dean doesn’t know there are two bullets in Sam’s gun.

And yet if it came to that, I can't see Sam doing anything else.

I was looking for this fic on [livejournal.com profile] spnstoryfinders because I lost it right after reading and I´m so glad someone could provide the link because this fic is just gorgeous.

It´s short but packs such a punch in every single sentence and the last line is incredibly intense and powerful. Painful, yes, but also amazingly beautiful in its finality; it shouldn´t come unexpected since there are so many hints in the story itself but it catches you by surprise which is proof of a great story, in my opinion.

I love this fic so much, I know I had read it before but don't think I commented, so now I am. Nicely done, your ending packed quite a wallop, and yeah, I could see that happening. Thanks for writing it.

OMG! You evil, evil woman!

Every time I am re-reading this story it gets me. And I mean it in a good way. I always have to stop and think about this beauty. It´s so strong, so pure..

It´s one of the best stories I´ve ever read and I´ve been reading for ages.

I´ve printed this out and whenever I am sad or... you know the feeling...
Well I am better than :)
Thanks for sharing this! <3

Oh dear Lord.

I got sent here by [livejournal.com profile] germanjj, after commenting to her that I hadn't seen many drabbles/short ficlets in SPN. This is a truly amazing piece of work. You fit so much into few words, drawing the boys beautifully. And oh, my heart aches for them both. Love love love it.

So heartbreaking.

I thought the way out was for Sam to kill himself. But then switch to Dean's pov and it's worse...Dean knew about Sam's plan, but was calm about it, and then the gun was against Dean's head which explains why he wasn't planning to stop Sam-Dean's death is the solution...but the two bullets, Dean just couldn't think Sam would do that to himself(because he would think that he wasn't worth it, and because he couldn't ever let himself contemplate that Sam would really kill himself).

This was wonderful.

May I translate your amazing fic?

Hi Kat,
When I saw the last line, I actually screamed.
I was like "What?! No!! Oh God..."

I like it so much that I really want to share with my friends.
May I have your permission for me to translate your amazing fic into Mandarin?
And allow me to post the Mandarin version at the supernatural fan forum?
