best. crossover. ever.

Dean and Tim is just hilarious. Even better if it had Sammy and Jason too. Cause then, then it would be frikin' amazing.

"Nice shooting," says the guy.

Tim shrugs. "Yeah."

"Dean," the guy says by way of introduction. He's lost the jacket, replaced it with a grey t-shirt ripped at the hem.

"Tim."

"Okay," Dean says. He pauses for a second, squints out over the range. "It always this fucking hot?"

Tim half-smiles, relaxes his grip on the rifle. "Yeah," he says.

"Super," says Dean. "Well. See you around."

I actually started playing around with a fuller crossover idea, but I got slightly hung up on what to do with Tyra. ;)

Thanks.

Oooh. I really, surprisingly enjoyed this a lot. You totally nailed the voice for both characters and I like the subtle understanding/bonding that Dean and Tim have. Plus I loved the spare description in contrast to the attention to detail. The sign on Riggin's lawn flowed nicely.

I'll confess, for about two seconds after I saw it was a crossover I was scared it was going to have something to do with Tyra and all those logistics. XD I'm definitely pleasantly surprised.

hehe, as I mentioned in my comment to 1407graymalkin, Tyra was one of the reasons I ended up writing a very small piece--I didn't want to have to deal with her and Sam and the inevitable (kind of silly) angst that would cause.

I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for the comment. :)

Tim hears the car before he hears it,
Should that be: before he sees it? :)

I don't usually read fan fic, but I couldn't help it when I saw the merging of two of my most favorite fandoms. Beautiful work and I loved that the two characters with the most guilt on their shoulders would be the ones to silently understand and attract each other.

Thank you!

Um. Yes. Yes it should be. *fixes* Thanks for the catch.

I definitely saw a lot of Dean parallels in Tim when I first started watching FNL, so the first thing that occurred to me was (of course) to get them talking somehow. Thank you for commenting. :)

I did a double take when I saw the pairing because I've been way lost on Dean for about a year now and Tim is taking hold fast. Two of the most angst filled heartbreakers on tv and I'm crazy about both of them. So, all I can say is thanks.

Angst-filled heartbreakers indeed. That's probably the most accurate description I've heard of the two of them so far. ;) Thank you.

Lovely job. I do feel that there's a lot of similarity between Dean and Tim - plus I'm one of the three folk watching FNL wishing there was more fic out there.

You've got how guys talk to each other very well.

xaara January 18 2007, 00:57:58 UTC

I definitely wish there was more fic out there, but I also haven't really poked at the fandom--do you have any recommendations, either of stories or authors?

You've got how guys talk to each other very well. You know, that's seriously one of the best things you could've told me, because it's hard to get that sort of thing down on paper. Mostly because, well. Guys don't really talk to each other. :P

Thanks.
