Drowning - a drabble

Title: Drowning
Words: 100
Summary: Sam's at Stanford, Dad's god knows where, and Dean's on the road.

Dean’s a mid-west boy. He knows straight roads and vast expanses of corn so intimately, he sings Oklahoma songs inside his head, where Sam can’t hear and mock. Not that Sam can hear him singing anyway, seeing as how Sam’s in California and Dean? Dean isn’t.

Dean drives, because that’s what he does. He kills monsters; sometimes they throw him around and he has to stop a while to patch himself up before he can slide back into his Baby, but that’s okay. He’s fine on his own. He is.

Sometimes, though, Dean dreams up an ocean to drown in.

This is what comes of reading Stanford era fics. LOL

IKR? I just love lonely hurting Dean never admitting how much he's hurting.

So painfully poignant, and that last line really packed a punch! Thank you for sharing :)

I FUCKING ADORE THIS. <33 I love the phrasing of dreaming up an ocean to drown in, and Dean+drowning imagery--well, you can't go wrong with that, really, as far as I'm concerned. XD But you can go very, very, right, and that's what this is. <333

Ah yes, drowning or near drowning Dean is a pleasant pastime, isn't it... *snigger*
Glad you liked this one!

I acknowledge that Stanford and all aspects of it are necessary to the story and to the relationship of Sam and Dean, but it invariably depresses me. Maybe I'll get over it some day.

I'll never get over it - I think it still shapes Dean today and it breaks my heart...but I love it!

And don't tell anyone, because they'll cut me or something, but I really resent Jess.

[identity profile] amberdreams.livejournal.com 2017-01-04 01:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Ha ha mum's the word... I view Jess as necessary for Sam's development. And she had to die to set Sam free, so that's ok. She was a brief interlude.

Totally agree, she's totally necessary, but as you said, it breaks my heart for Dean's sake.
