S10E11 - Episode reaction drabble

[amberdreams]

Thought I'd better get my reaction post done before I read too many other reactions! So here it is, my 100 word drabble reaction.
Warnings: Dean POV and voice - swearing!
Summary: A conversation Dean would probably never have with Sam.

Dean Winchester, Ancient Mariner

Water, water, every where,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, every where,
Nor any drop to drink.


Albatross, huh? You’ve got the wing-span for the job, that’s true.

They gonna tie you round my neck, Sammy? Because that might be justice, y’know?

I might never have been the one to stick the knife in, or push you over the edge, but I sure as hell have been responsible for snuffing out that spark in you -- over, and over.

You were the one who sailed me out of the doldrums, who pushed me when I didn’t have the strength or the will to go on.

Fuck, Sammy, you big girl -- you are the wind beneath my wings.

Nice job I loved the ep btw

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thanks Emma - I was a bit meh about it, but I'm going to watch again because I think I'll like it better second time round..

I think I watched it 3 times now I love Charlie so I really liked it made me worry about Sam he has to take care of every one

Yeah, Dean knows ALL the words to the Bette Midler song and sings it when he thinks Sam is sleeping shotgun. 8-)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Absolutely! But he'd never let on...

I really like what you've done with the Albatross comparison - well done!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I thought I'd have another look at the poem and reminded myself of what the albatross actually did!

Oh man, that is *PERFECT*! Dean voice and references and all!!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thanks very much, glad it worked!

I love what you did here with the albertros comparison. You really captured Dean's voice, and the ending was perfection!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Cheers me dear!

Thank you. That albatross line really raised my hackles but you could tell Dean didn't share the sentiment (love the hand out to him).

This is fantastic. Love the last line. :))

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Me too, but then when I had a ponder, I thought inevitably Dean would turn it on himself. And especially when you read the poem again and remember the Mariner kills the albatross. And in a way, that analogy is right - Dean does carry an albatross of guilt around his neck, and probably 90% of the guilt is wrapped up in Sam.

Lovely. Love that spit-fire brotherness that comes out, even though Dean's really proclaiming his love for Sam.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Dean's epic love for Sam! Yay!

[reapertownusa.livejournal.com]

Love it. This captures Dean's sentiment and voice so wonderfully and the last line is pure perfection.

Thank you! Nice to see you back btw! :D

I think I may need a VERY large duvet for the end of this season!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

What, to blow your nose on? ;)

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

Pretty much! LOL! I'm making a blanket fort and that is where I'm staying!

This was so bittersweet, I love the humour "You’ve got the wing-span for the job," but it's so sad too and that last line is just perfect.

Thank you!
