Season 10 Episode 13 reaction drabble

[amberdreams]

I managed a drabble reaction after all! Woot!

Title: A Damp Squib
Words: 100
Summary: After their conversation in the car outside 810 Downs Drive, Sam does some thinking.

A Damp Squib


The Impala eats up the miles, and the falling night swallows any conversation that might linger. The cassette tape unspools the usual mix of Metallica and Zeppelin and nothing stops Sam thinking.

Dean isn’t giving up. Dean’s just doing what Sam wants – looking to himself for a solution.

Except to Sam it sounds exactly like giving up. Like the same fatalistic bullshit Dean espoused before his deal was due. Like the man with terminal cancer stopping his chemo. Maybe there’s good reason for stoicism, but Dean is overlooking one important fact.

If the Mark isn’t defeated, Dean will become Cain.

Poor Sam. It's a miracle he's not depressed, yet.

I think he might be, a bit. He's not himself for sure.

Yes. This is it exactly. Dean's trying to live with the Mark, but that might not work either. Gorgeous.

Thanks - we will see where they take it, hey.

Very nice. Especially this:

It's what it feels like to me, anyway! LOL

I think you hit the nail on the head with this! And I loved the part with Sam saying it sounds like giving up, and mirroring the deal.

I left the episode with a bad feeling in my gut...oh Dean!

Me too...

"Like the same fatalistic bullshit Dean espoused before his deal was due."

Yep, Dean has that look again...

He's got form, after all!
