I kind of want to offer myself up as a slave of some sort for this completely awezum story. Anytime someone can make me read slash, it's pretty amazing. I am a GG/SPN fan and have read a FEW crossovers that I just wasn't a fan of, so I was weary coming into this. But you made it a very pleasantly memorable experience.
From across a crowded store he was a dead-ringer but up close, Jess could see differences. The guy in front of him was lean in a way that Dean never was, angles where Dean was soft. There were scars all over his hands and the part of his forearms Jess could see and even though Dean was in construction last thing Jess knew, he was pretty sure Dean wasn’t that bad at it. That's when I knew I was really going to enjoy this, because you differentiated between Sam and Dean right away with very real, true-to-character details.
The fact Sam thought Stars Hollow was a club was really hilarious, and I literally laughed out loud. Then I like how he swept in real quick with an invite to do Indian for lunch. And again, SO true to character when Sam orders half the menu. And how he gets all embarassed and blushy and tries to demonstrate how the bowls are small but it doesn't really get across cuz, hai, Sam's hands are huge!
I REALLY love this passage It seemed that once Sam got started, he didn’t have an off switch which actually suited Jess fine because he was able to fall back to his default, laconic self. It appeared that all Sam needed was an acknowledging noise every now and again to keep going and Jess found when they reached the hole-in-the-wall restaurant Sam had been leading them to, he was grinning.
Which he just didn’t do.
and how you manage to convey Sam's potent effect on Jess through something as simple as a grin.
“I mean you don’t really… fit,” Jess said. Sam was getting pale and biting his lip but Jess just waved a hand. “I mean, I get it, I really do. I’ve been a square peg in an octagonal hole most of my life.” I always considered Jess very observant and intelligent, so the fact he keyed into Sam not belonging on the first day seemed very right to me. And here, he says as much TO Sam but in a very Jess kind of way with the use of the word "octagonal." Love.
“My head isn’t big,” he said in such a serious tone that Jess thought he’d really offended the guy but then Sam grinned. “Better than having a tiny doll’s head anyway.” is just cute :D
His Uncle had once accused him of being like a tiny bulldozer with blinkers on and Jess thought that was the most apt description of him anyone had ever come up with.
Luke had really gotten him like no one ever had before. THANK YOU for that throwback to GG. I really appreciate it.
“I don’t think that’s true,” Sam said, right by Jess’s ear and he jerked, the two books he was holding flipping out of his grasp when Sam’s large hand brushed over the strip of spine exposed between the top of his jeans and the back of his shirt. *squirms* And even though I don't do slash, I mean that in a GOOD way. Like, GUH *fans self*
They’d already had the dude conversation and Sam had blamed his brother for the word’s overuse in his vocabulary. It had apparently originated from their father and stuck. Again, love the comedy and how true to the characters it is. Sam using the word thanks to Dean's influence and Jess NOT liking it at all.
Jess had never found anyone cute in his life and he wasn’t sure how he was starting with a guy over six foot four who was admittedly lean but looked like he was on the knife edge of filling out in the best way possible. I just LOVE that description; how "cute" doesn't really GO with a guy like Sam, but it does.
I'm hella amused Jess refers to himself as a damsel in distress at the end :P And this line?
When he pulled back, Sam was smiling that big goofy grin Jess was, he had to now admit, a little in love with. *dies*
I loooooooove this and am putting it in my memories. THANK YOU for such a great experience!
