SPN FIC - Companionship

[ficwriter1966]

A look back at the Stanford years -- Sam's been gone for a couple of months, Dad's gone off God knows where, and Dean is handling a simple salt-and-burn by himself.  Which is just fine, until he gets thrown down a flight of stairs, and has to huddle in the Impala, nursing bruised ribs and a mostly-dislocated shoulder.  All alone -- until he's not

Heartbreaking.

The Muse was in that kind of a mood. *nods*

But every time he turns to look at the thing, it purrs. And at night, it nestles up alongside his hip, relaxed and content.

It's been a long time since anybody wanted to be with him this much.

Ahhh, this line just got me. such a lonely bittersweet tale. I like seeing a snippet of Dean after Sam left. His thoughts about what he should be and then having no idea. He really was "Daddy's blunt little instrument". So good to know he's grown into so much more.

BTW, my mom had a cat adopt her about 3 years ago. He would disappear and come back and so of course she had to name him Sam (she watches the show too)! Sam is all friendly now and has to hang out with her all the time. He even walked me to my car as I was leaving on Saturday. My mom lives alone. I think animals have a way of knowing what we need.

I think it was a very rough time for Dean in so many ways - losing one of the few constants in his life. Wanting to do the best thing for his family. Wanting more, but not sure what "more" would be, or how to go about getting it.

A cat adopted my family when I was in high school - she liked us better, apparently, and ended up living with us for 12 years!

Glad you enjoyed the fic. :)

this really got me, right in the gut. Dean's solace, him licking his wounds, hiding away like a wounded animal. I had to 'gulp' alot when reading this. really great story

The Muse definitely had her Little Black Dress of Woe on!

Glad you enjoyed it. :)

Oh, this was wonderful. Despite the misery of the allergies, Dean just doesn't want to be alone. It gives him something to care for, to be with since Sam is gone.

Thank you! Yes, even despite the sneezing - it's good to have something to care for/about. And animals are so non-judgmental.
