I've been working on this Supernatural fic a while.

Title: Drifters
Rating: super fucked up (NC-17)
Pairing: Sam/Amelia
Wordcount: 8,500
Summary:Amelia's fucked up. The creepy drifter isn't scaring her off.
Sam's barely holding. His choices are terrible or epically terrible.
Together, they're . . . no, still really fucked up.

Notes: I accidentally challenged myself to make the Sam/Amelia storyline

Oh my god, this was perfect. I love the way you've set this up, with Amelia and Sam's thoughts first, before they get together, so there's this really perfect idea of why they're making the choices they are. The way they talk to each other -- so many secrets, on both sides, for so long -- and the sex, the darkness that's in both of them, the way they're both so free in admitting how fucked up they are, man. I just -- this is some perfect characterisation right here.

Thank you for writing and posting!

Thank you for this perfect comment! It's so cool to see, like, practically everything I was trying to do and convey with this reflecting back in your words.

It's a challenge to really balance a character we've known as long as Sam with one introduced for just a few episodes, you know? And I think that's something I was going for, to put them both on similar pages (but not the same page noo) because otherwise the relationship would feel flat. It's gotta be both of them.

In short, 'perfect characterization' is such a high beautiful compliment, I will still be grinning this time tomorrow! Thank you so much for taking the time to read and respond!
