Summary: Dean reaches for the new power inside him.



“Dean?” it whimpers.

Tall, sad creature. Human, something deeper in his mind supplies. It’s just standing there, staring. And Dean reaches for the new power inside him, watches with interest as the creature splats against the wall. Bug on a windshield – arms and legs splayed out, face crumpled and wind knocked from its lungs.

It’s power, a pure unadulterated feeling of power that overtakes him. From the moment he’d opened his eyes, he could feel it like a heartbeat. Thrumming through his veins like a mercy. His world is simple again. It feels like hunting once did. Like the kill or be killed existence he’d honestly enjoyed when Purgatory had gripped him tight. But this is better, different, more.

He steps purposefully, powerfully. He revels in the feeling, in its purity and takes it for what it is. He doesn’t feel any need to name it or tame it. It just is.

“Dean?” it says again. Nothing more than that, but a wetness rolls down its face.

Human, he thinks. Sam, something deeper in his mind supplies. Brother, blood, Sammy.

He tilts his head, studying this creature, this Sammy, and something in the pit of his belly roils. The sense of simplicity falls away for a moment and he huffs in annoyance, blinks.

He turns and there’s a thud behind him as the creature (Sammy) slides down the wall to the floor on a whimper of hurt. He keeps walking – up the stairs, through the door and then he’s out into the night. The moon is high in the sky and the wind is chill and fresh on his skin. The world is waiting for him, there’s power thrumming through every part of him and he feels so right.

So alive.

I absolutely adore the arcane, defamiliarized lyricism to this--the removed distance from the present, even as Dean's mind reaches back across dimensions to so many other different feelings, is truly eerie. Great work!

Thank you! It's quite different to my usual writing style, so I'm delighted to know it worked for you.

Oh wow! That was powerful - and beautifully written. *whimpers* poor boys.

So great SPN has inspired you to write again! :))

It's supposed to be a little hopeful, since he recognises and decides not to hurt Sam, but yeah... Thanks for commenting. :)

User [livejournal.com profile] lesson_in_love referenced to your post from Edition 2,923 (http://spnnewsletter.livejournal.com/812762.html) saying: [...] by (Dean/Castiel; NC-17) Fanfic: Gen Howl at that Moon [...]

This was perfect, I adored the other-worldly quality of this, seeing Dean so cold and almost desensitized but still knowing who Sam is.

I can definitely envisage something like this happening on the show. Scary but exciting in all its possibilities. Thank you for sharing. Take care, :)

Thanks for the lovely comment. It will be really interesting to see where the show takes this next season. I'm excited. :)

Whoa. Every time I think i'm fine with reading post 9.23 stuff, something like this happens.
Like a punch in the gut. Very well done!

Sammy <3

This is the rest of season 10 ready to unfold from that point on. Great to read you!

From: [identity profile] starrylizard.livejournal.com


Thanks! That's how I'm thinking too. Rather excited for S10 now. :D

Oh, wow. I want this to happen even though it would crush me.

From: [identity profile] starrylizard.livejournal.com


Thank you! And yeah, I know what you mean. I think I'll be watching the season opener from behind my hands. :D
