HELLO AGAIN I AM BACK TO GIVE YOU INCREDIBLY LONG-WINDED REPLIES ❤
I loved your prompts--the melodic violence of them resonated so well with Sam and Dean--but I've gotta be honest: I was a little intimidated by them. Or rather, I wasn't sure if I could do them justice (so it is beyond gratifying that you feel that I did).
It seems like we were incredibly fortuitous in our match, since we have pretty much the same headcanons about everything (I wrestled with the idea of doing a Charlie/Rowena fic--and I'm sure I'll do fics with one/both of them in the future because I love my ladies too--but there was just too much of the Winchesters in those lines).
A hint of kink is what I imagine permeates Sam and Dean's entire relationship (whether it's explicitly sexual or not); they've both had to endure so much physical and psychological torment and were raised/developed under such non-traditional circumstances that I just don't seen how their relationship could ever fit the narrow mold of "normal". The show itself has shown us that much.
This piece was kind of born out of my grappling with how much (prolonged and sustained) pain Sam specifically has been put through on-screen, and the ways that that has to have shaped both him and Dean. (I'm in the middle of a much longer Sam POV piece, so this was also partially me working through Dean's voice and perspective in terms of the ways that they are knotted around each other.)
I was also exploring places (like you mentioned here with Dean's lap) and how physical non-geographic spaces can be correlated to emotional timelines.
The religion stuff has fascinated me--particularly with Dean--since "Faith" and "Houses of the Holy" (and how they set up what his philosophical conflict will be once Castiel and the angels arrive). The idea of an anchoring belief, of being devoted to something even when it fails you, falls so squarely in how I see Dean's feelings towards Sam at his core. Not religion per se, but faith.
So thank you thank you THANK YOU for the prompts that made me sit down and think and for giving me the opportunity to get some of my too-many feelings about these two and this world out! I'm so unbelievably happy that you liked it so much!
And please, let me know if you ever want to chat about headcanons or...anything, really! ❤❤❤❤❤
P.S. The Donna/Jody fic that you recced was actually my gift--there are never enough stories about the ladies, so bless you for doing the good work of promoting them!
P.P.S. A+++ to Sparrington and your support thereof. :D
