Aw Sammy. In a few years he'll find out that physically he'll be larger then Dean, and mentally he's more like his dad then he thought.

Grass always looks greener, doesn't it?

Thanks. I love how intolerant Sam is in this - he can only see the world in terms of how it affects him. A typical teen, really.

Oh, Sam, your time will come.

I loved this portrayal. In part because I see (and have even written) the family dynamic at this stage of their lives so similarly but mostly because you've written this so beautifully. Dean's older brother, teasing smart-assing confidence and Sam's "I'll never catch up" resignation and disappointment. It's so real and heartbreaking and yet exasperating because we know Sam will be able rise to the occasion in time. It's the impatience of youth, particularly when ones older brother is such an over-achiever in the pleasing their dad department.

This brief snippet of their past is just so perfect to me in how you've portrayed all 3 Winchesters and in the story you've told. The more I think about it, the more I love it and it's definitely going into my memories. Thank-you!

Thanks. Sam in this is so resigned, but still aching for approval - and he hates that the only way he can get it is through Dean helping him.

So it's inevitable that eventually he stops trying for approval and instead ends up fighting with his dad.

Thanks. It's going to take a while for Sam to see where he fits in the family. *g*
