Supernatural: The First Wendigo

            “Dean!”

No no no.

“Dean!”

In the distance, Sammy is yelling his name.  It comes to Dean’s ears over and over and over again, rushed, pained, as ragged and indistinct as the ground he’s dragging over.  He sucks in air to yell back-Run, Sam! Go! Get Dad!-but a bouncing rock against his ribs steals all his wind.

Oh, Sodakey, I think you're the best!

This is such a good look into Sam and his conflicted relations with his father and Dean. I would want to leave that s**t behind too. I would be mad too, despite the love.

Too freaking awesome.

And I think you're too nice to me. ;)

But thank you. I like exploring where and how Sam's anger began. How he started to really want normal, where the pull away started, and why, the ways in which he saw his family accurately, and the ways he didn't. I think it was a million little things, but this was a fun possibility for me to explore.

And P.S. (since I feel the need to justify), work yanked me into travels and crap this last month, but the last chapters of Trompe are being revised and worked on, and... not forgotten or set aside. I know you didn't ask, but I tend to incur wrath easily... so I'm just saying... and trying to stay ahead of the game, lol.

Whoo hoo!

I try my best not to nag the authors of my favorite wips! It's a fine line between giving needed props and encouragement and being an A-hole! So I at least try not to be the A-hole!

I enjoyed that immensely. It was thrilling and amazingly written and I felt Sam's agony and fear, and Dean was absolutely right, young Sam was Rambo there. Leaving those lines of lighter fluid was brilliant on his part. And I love, LOVE, John's obvious love and pride for his sons.

Lovely!

Thank you. :) So glad you liked this one.

Just loved the writing of Sammy's experience--the unexpected attack on Dean, Sammy's fear and yet he kept going--I could really see this as happening and becoming part of what makes Sam so desperate to get away from hunting and have some normal.

Really great story!

So sorry to be so slow in responding to this, and thank you so much for the feedback. I've been off the grid for a bit. My favorite part of this story to play with was the idea of Sam's love for his family and the pull to something else, and how that gap might have started to widen for him, so I'm pleased my interpretation worked for you. Thanks again!

The voices in this are just amazing, especially Sam. The desperation overcoming panic and making it work. I really enjoyed this--thank you.

[sodakey]

Thank you so much. And I'm so sorry it took a bit of time for me to reply to this. Profuse apologies, and I hope you've read many awesome stories in the meantime!

This was so good! I could feel Sam's panic. Out in the woods for a routine EMF and then in seconds Dean's gone. And the trail he had to follow and the useless wishing for John or Bobby to just up and appear. And finally doing what he has to the best way he knows how. Just awesome, thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much for reading! And, I'm very sorry for my slow reply. Very much appreciate the feedback. :)
