Season 11 episode 3 reaction drabble - Sam

[amberdreams]

Sorry about the drabble spam! LOL

Yesterday's effort could have been either of them when I started writing it, but I do tend to gravitate towards Dean, so that was where it ended up. But this morning I was thinking about the difference between the two boys, in their numbness and disconnection, and so I had to write a Sam one too.

Episode 3: The Bad Seed
Warnings: Spoilerish for the episode.
Summary: Sam is lost.

***********
Time was everything was crystal clear, full of certainty. He’d made tough decisions, cut through unbreakable ties with surgical precision, woven new ones that should’ve lasted forever.

But that new fabric went up in flames with Jess, and he and Dean had stitched themselves back together, stronger than before.

So why does he feel Dean’s so far away, so blurred at his edges, so hard to distinguish from the background wallpaper of saving people, hunting things?

Sam longs for Dean’s warm arm slung round his shoulder, Dean’s hand outstretched to pull him up.

He wants his brother (his life) back.

It's a good job they're not real, cos everything they've been through makes me want to cry.

IKR? Both of them are making me sad right now.

Well, they're not really, cos I'm not buying what Carver is selling. But thinking about what it would be like for them if they were real...
I mean, I know Sam and Dean aren't real, but it makes me think about people in living in war zones and other awful situations. And that is what makes me want to cry.

You really delved into Sam's head space here, capturing that sense of disconnect so well.

Wonderful drabble!!

I love how you've look at both sides here, and I get this feeling from Sam too, that Dean is there with him physically but not emotionally - yet.

It's a really good job they aren't physically real people, or I'd be curled in a ball on the floor openly weeping for them after these last two drabbles!

That was poetry! (i.e. brava!)
