Stuff and things and ficlets by request...

- I'm a reccer for spnroundtable this month but my problem isn't getting stories to rec, it's narrowing it down and deciding what I want to rec first. Heh. I need to categorise the big mess of links I've been keeping.

- Work is progressing slowly for my spn_summergen fic. However, it's pretty cool when *just* when the Big Bang fics will trickle off these ones will start posting. We're pretty spoiled as a fandom for these few months.

- I'm feeling a wee bit nostalgic. Give me some five!things fic prompts if you're so inclined. My boss is away so I need something to fill the day up with.

Five times Dean played dumb to make Sam feel better.

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

1.

Sam likes to have a place carved out for himself in the world. He likes to have everything defined and structured and in its place. He has boxes and categories and alphabetises like an obsessed person.

He even does it when it comes to his family.

John is easy, slotting into overbearing and misunderstanding father like he was made for it. Sam has a little more trouble when it comes to splitting him and Dean so Dean just shrugs and says, I'm the pretty one and you're the smart one.

Sam looks relieved when it's all resolved like that and when Sam's happy, Dean's happy.

2.

Sam likes homework because he's a giant dork-freak.

He likes helping Dean with his because then he feels special and accelerated.

Dean's gotten very good at pretending he's stuggling, mostly because he likes it when they're pressed shoulder to shoulder in the too-dim light from the single lamp, Sam not bitching about everything under the sun for once. He likes Sam's fingers tracing pages, pointing out how Dean got it wrong or what he missed.

He likes his brother and these days, it's the only time he feels like his brother likes him.

3.

When he says I understand Sam just rolls his eyes and laughs, an ugly sound. How could you Sam demands, because right now he's the only one that's known loss. So Dean just nods, doesn't try to explain that every time Sam gets so much as a hang nail, the terror that rips through him means he knows.

He knows.

4.

Strangely enough, Sam likes to be the one to point out to Dean when he's being checked out. Sam is oblivious for himself but seems to get some kind of satisfaction from being able to tell just which chick will be receptive to Dean's advances.

Dean knows which ones about three seconds after walking into a place, but he never tells Sam that.

5.

Dean's terrified. He can imagine all the ways this will end badly but when Sam says, you think we'll be okay, Dean just nods, shrugs and says, Sure, why wouldn't we be.

Every time.

Oh God, this is absolutely perfect, so heartbreaking and loving, so true to who they are. <3

Edited not to comment spam you, the Bobby one made me grin so hard and the teachers one is just a ton of Oh Dean perfection. You rock.
