The comm hosted this little event a couple of years ago, and as November 2 is an auspicious day for our darling Sam, today would be the perfect time to revisit this challenge. Welcome to the Triple Play 2015!

Fill: West of Omaha

A/N: I ain’t no crowroad, but she came at me with Turn the Page.

Trees and fence posts whip past, twilight blur. One hand on the wheel and one curled around Sam's sweat-soaked neck.

LEBANON 40

“C’mon, Sammy. C’mon, man, hang in there.”

“We get it, Dean?” Shiver like a grand mal rocks his brother’s body. “The werewolf?” Sam looks across the seat, not seeing. Well. Not seeing here, not seeing now.

Which werewolf? “Yeah, man.” Don’t matter. “You took it out.”

“When's Dad coming home?”

Goddamn Rowena. Any other night he’d savor, take his pleasure, listening to her howl and thump in the trunk. She dents the lid he's gonna kill her extra slow.

Fuck it. “Dad’s here, Sam. Safe and sound. Sleepin’ it off.”

Mumbling. “If it bleeds you can kill it if it bleeds you can kill it if it bleeds you can kill it…”

Son of a bitch.

“Sammy? Sam!”

She’d made a solid play, he’d give her that. Kill one of them and the other woulda gutted her like a trout. Curse one, buy time.

“It’s a memory spell, my dear.” Smile dripping venom. “I can

Rowena in the trunk. Perfect.

Yay I'm glad you think so! Kinda had to be her, for me. Especially since she was such a pain in the ass when they let her ride in the back seat. Ha. Thank you! :D

Ahhhh I actually shrieked with delight. I wanted it to be Rowena! Dean drivin' and cursin' and cradling Sammy with the other hand, you know. The way the flashbacks freaking *escalate* through the years, forty miles to the Bunker door. (The way you fill us in with such economy, both the action and the feels, jeez, I couldn't love it more. Suspect I'll have more to say later...!)

I am so, sooo glad you liked it! (So much pressure, a prompt from you! >_>) And of course, that image, the one you named. First thing to pop in my head and tempting like a demon deal. Thank you for the irresistible prompt. <3

Thanks for going down to the crossroads for me, heh.

Always!

(I found the perfect gif for this too.)

This is so lovely. I just love how this is so short and contained, but each thing Sam says carries so much history and hurt. I could read it over and over. Gorgeous! <3

RE: Fill: West of Omaha

Oh wow. What a wonderful compliment. Thank you! :D

I love this!!! Rowena in the trunk and a curse - perfect! Your prose was beautiful too, and I really enjoyed how you captured so many of Sam's memories and the way they haunt him.

(I hope you don't mind if I friend you?) Thank you for sharing :)

RE: Fill: West of Omaha

[laughablelament]

Always happy to make new friends! :D

Thanks so much for the kind comment. Super glad you enjoyed.

Oh, Sammy!

I love the way this was written. -- so much power in so few words. Sam's pain, Dean's desperation to fix him. Rowena being so manipulative and clever, finding Dean's weakness. Loved this!

Re: Fill: West of Omaha

[laughablelament]

Thank you so much! Rowena is a gem, as you say, manipulative and clever. A worthy adversary. :D

RE: Fill: West of Omaha

[themegalosaurus]

this is so good and does so much in so few words. i loved all the canon you pulled into it (poor dean, still lucid and hit with all of that at once) and, like everybody else, i loved that it was rowena in the back. she's fabulous, especially in conjunction with sam.

Re: Fill: West of Omaha

[laughablelament]

Thank you so much. Really tickled you dug this! (And happy to hear you like the canon-drops. Not like Sam doesn't have a wealth of trauma for Rowena to exploit.) Speaking of... Yup. Love like crazy. Clever and vicious, a worthy adversary. Absolutely crackles onscreen. :D Thanks again!
