Summary: Some ruminations on Dean, and irony. A thought planted in my head by a throwaway line in

Arnica for the Soul

For someone who held the title of Righteous Man (however briefly), Dean was rarely, if ever, right.

He’d been wrong to think Sam wouldn’t leave, wrong to think Dad didn’t care about Sam being gone.

He’d been wrong to think Dad would never ~~lie~~ die, that all monsters were irredeemable, that black was always black.

He’d been wrong to think any sacrifice would ever be enough, that destiny could be fucked in the face.

He’d been wrong about so much; heart-hurt from the sharp angles of his errors.

So it was probably wrong to think the Darkness soothed his pain.

Dean should have known better.

Deep inside him fear was building like water behind a dam. What if the reason Amara didn’t steal his soul was because she already owned it? What if he’d already lost?

It’s not that he really believed an ordinary steel blade would work against an elemental force older than the universe. It’s just that he had to do something, try anything to assert control, pretend he retained some ability to think and act independently, that he was still fighting on the right side.

He did know better, but it didn’t stop him wanting to believe.

Sam should have known better.

Why had he thought that God, silent for so long, would suddenly decide to speak directly to him? It’s not that he’d thought he was something special, not at all, but he might have hoped, just a tiny bit. The calm that came with the delusion was such a comfort, he hated to let it go.

But now he had to face the truth. It was Lucifer in the cracks, leaking through the hairline fractures in his Cage and through the gaping fissures in Sam’s mind.

Now he knew better, and he finally stopped believing.

Title: Heart of Darkness
Words: 100

Saving people, hunting things.

Dean wasn’t sure where or when that mantra had gotten lost, warped, distorted by static into not caring any more.

“We save people, Dean, remember?”

But he didn’t remember. When he tried, reaching back for the man he’d been, there was nothing there. The words slipped through his fingers like water, leaving a shining residue that was useless for quenching his thirst.

Sam’s face was all concern and worry, and Dean wanted to show Sam. He wanted to crack open his own chest, spread his ribs and expose the emptiness inside where the Darkness was hiding.
