A Sam POV Season 11 finale coda in 100 words

Black Holes and Revelations

Sam, a detached observer, watches Mary Winchester’s first tentative steps in her new life.

What did it say about Dean that Amara dug deep into the scorched earth remains of Dean’s psyche and found, not a warrior and survivor, but a frightened four-year-old child that craved hugs?

And what did it say about Sam that he sees Dean’s barely contained joy at Mary’s presence, Dean’s eagerness to please her, his inability to understand her fear and discomfort, and yet felt nothing but the need to step back, keep his distance?

Even Mary could not fill the gap left by God.

You have to read this tiny but powerful fic that explores the aftermath of Mary's resurrection. Prepare to be punched right in the feels!

I just saw that Jeremy Carver will not be writing the Season 11 finale - this is the first time the showrunner hasn't written the last episode of a season. Now that has me wondering if this preoccupation of Carver's with new projects is one reason why this season has been SO much better than the last few seasons? Maybe he isn't so interested in SPN's storylines, and the writers room has been pushing their own agenda (and maybe allowing Jensen and Jared influence them back into the more brotherly vibe we've been getting and loving in Season 11). I have no idea if one follows on from the other but thought it was interesting!

Season 11 Episode 10: ( Spoilers ahoy - obviously )

Now with a really cool banner by the lovely

milly_gal! Thanks babe, you're making this drabble look good!

Summary: Dean will do anything to get Sam out of the Cage with Lucifer.

***********

Lucifer strokes Sam’s hair. It’s so soft, so silky. So long, so much to get hold of.

Lucifer’s missed his plaything. For too long he’s languished in that prison with his brother, with no entertainment since Michael’s compromise-vessel disintegrated, taking its sad little soul along with it.

He enjoys the way Sam flinches away from his tongue as he licks up salty tears from Sam’s cheek.

“Sammy, our roles were cast a long time ago, why fight the inevitable? You were made for me…”

“He’s Sam, not Sammy, douchebag, and I’ve got a better idea.”

That’s when Dean says yes.

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.

***********

I thought I would carry on attempting at least a drabble per episode, even though this one wasn't all that inspiring for me. Please note, this is how I feel about Dean and Sam at the moment, it doesn't necessarily reflect what the show thinks it's giving us.

Episode 3: The Bad Seed
Warnings: Spoilerish for the episode.
Summary: Dean is disconnected.

***********
Time was he felt too much, too deeply. Made bad decisions (feeling so faithless, lost under the surface), drove too hard, too far, until he fell off the edge of the world.

Now he’s straining for every emotion (just caught in the undertow), failing to reconnect with his brother, whether with anger or hurt or that all-consuming love that led him to Hell.

He sees the fear in Sam’s eyes when the truth about the Book and Rowena comes out, but all he feels is numb. He’s on autopilot, fighting solely through instinct, without the passion that defines – defined – him.

A/N lyrics & title from Linkin Park - Numb

Spoilery for the episode, obviously.
Bonus video from this week's episode thanks to iTunes - apologies the last 13 seconds are missing, this is because I'm a cheapskate and only downloaded the trial version of the ripping software. Though as it worked so well I might think about buying it in future. Maybe.

To fill you in on the missing bit - Jensen says about the support group he has, not just for doing his acting job but when he directs it really does show itself, and it's a beautiful thing. He's very thankful for it. Then it goes to him saying "...and cut!"

I've only read one reaction post so far and apologies to anyone who is full of squee because I'm not. I hope this isn't a downer post either - I'm just uncertain.
