SPN Drabbles - Seeing Red - PG13

[eloise_bright]

In an attempt to beat my muse back to life, I'm selling myself over at Sweet Charity. I'm offering one SPN fic, rated PG-R, at least 1500 words, and I'm willing to be challenged. Gen, Het, Slash, Kink. I'm open to offers. Please buy me.

Also, I wrote three interconnected drabbles. For the prompt red over at 100_ghosts. And of course that challenge has now

Ooo! That was dexteriously done. I didn't expect the ending until I saw the ending, and then it was obvious. Of course Dean steps in the way (probably got hit a lot harder that way too. The momentum wouldn't be held in check at all.) And of course neither Sam or John is right or wrong. Sam knows better then to get in a soldier's face and scream. John knows better then to let his temper take over to that extreme. It's just not a cut and dry situation. It's messy. Like real families. Well done Eloise. Well done!

Thanks. I like your observations here - that John wasn't able to pull his punch and Dean got hit much harder than John intended.

Sam and John are so much more alike than either of them would like to admit, and I can imagine frequent confrontations during Sam's older teen years. Not always ending in a punch, though.

I picture John as a guy who when pushed to the extreme, might not always be able to stop himself from throwing a punch, but could pull it. And if Dean stepped between the two of them (instead of pushing Sam out of the way), and got punched in the mouth... maybe John wasn't even intending to punch Sam. Maybe it was more of a threatening gesture. But then again I'm overanalyizing again. *g*

It's the people who are most alike who fight the most. I hate to admit it, but I definitely shared some personality traits with my dad and we would get into some extreme verbal spars. It's hard not to fight. You see what you dislike most about yourself, in the other person. It makes everything so much more personal and raw.

i had to read these twice - the second time i read them backwards to make them make sense because i'm just that thick - and after the second reading, wow, it was like a punch in the gut. really powerful, and really painful.

[eloise_bright]

Thanks! You're not thick, I made them abstruse on purpose *g* For a long time I've wanted to write a Memento style fic - and this was the nearest I could get to it!

I'm glad it worked for you *g*

Ooh, very clever and very sad. I was surprised in the first drabble that Dean was not more upset about John hurting Sam, but of course you led me right up the garden path there - Dean is the one hurt, and he is content with that. A very hard way to live indeed.

[eloise_bright]

Thanks. I admit I was hoping for people to think Sam had got hit, so I'm glad it worked for you. Poor Dean, hurt, but content. *hugs him gently*

Ye Gods you are awe-sommmme.

Love the different views and the twist, I want to read your fics like ALL the time.

Even if they make me hurt sometimes.

[eloise_bright]

Thanks. I'm on a tiny angst kick at the moment. Hoping for more bunnies to wake the muse up again.

Oh Sam....Oh John....Oh Dean....*hugs*

Thanx Eloise, this was so painful :( poor boys!

[eloise_bright]

Thanks, honey! I bring the pain. *hugs you back*
