Blade
***********
E/O Drabble Challenge: word count 100
Challenge word: adolescent
Warnings:  None
Summary: Now Sam can finally see into Dean’s heart, he hates that other people can’t see what he can.

Possibly a Season 5 revelation, though it could be any time after season 4, I think.


***********
Sam gets mad sometimes.

Because this is all people see – the fancy sheath and not the blade within. 

So they jump to conclusions.  Judge the outside, never thinking to look deeper; past the adolescent bravado and easy smile to the vulnerability beneath.

Sam knows he shouldn’t be angry; it’s hypocrisy after years of his own selective blindness when it comes to Dean, but now he can’t unsee it.

That fine honed edge, the worn pitted surface of the steel, the way it can only flex so far before it breaks.

And how close his brother’s blade is to shattering now.

Holy crap woman, that is a a 100 words of total emotional awesome. Really really great for a drabble.

Now I want that premise as a full fic, cause it's the worlds best h/c plot bunny ever.
Kudos!

That's a very cool thing, and a great image of the sheath and the knife.

Aw thank you! I guess it comes from a childhood of reading stories about Vikings.

A superb description of Dean, from the pov of the one who knows him best.

Thank you! Sometimes the people we are closest to are too close to see clearly, but every now and then, we can...
