I decided I wanted to write something, so I looked up the word of the day and wrote a quick drabble.
Title: Sine qua non
Author:

Fandom: Supernatural
word count: 100
Rating: Drabble, Gen, G, Episode coda to Mystery Spot
Summary: Sine qua non \sin-ih-kwah-NON; -NOHN; sy-nih-kway-\, noun: An essential condition or element; an indispensable thing. From the Late Latin, literally "without which not."
Sam watches his brother sleep. He’s aware if Dean was awake he’d call him creepy, throw pillows and old socks to make him stop, but right now he can’t help it.
Each time his eyes slide shut, each time the darkness of sleep reaches to pull him under, he jams his eyelids open and stares at his brother. Safe and breathing, unaware of all Sam has been through for him.
And between one slow, tired blink and the next, between darkness and reality, Sam swears he’s never going to lose his brother again.
He knows what he’s capable of now.

I'm kinda the opposite. I don't like spoilers much, beyond character spoilers and what not. You'll love this ep, it's hilarious and angsty rolled into one.

Thank you! Glad it works!
I &hearts drabbles! I tend to find it takes a few minutes to write and about fifteen to figure out how to cut it down to exactly 100 words. They either happen or they don't. :)

I love this line:
And between one slow, tired blink and the next, between darkness and reality, Sam swears he’s never going to lose his brother again.
You've really captured Sam's thoughts with so much emotion in just 100 words. Very nicely done.

Yep, that's pretty much what that part of the episode taught us isn't it. It growed him up. Last week, Dean became ready to be saved. Now, he's ready to save Dean.

Exactly! I mean he always said he would save Dean, but now he knows he'll save Dean. Thank you for your comments. :)

I saw that 'word of the day' and thought that it's just begging for a Spn-fic!
And then came this!
*smishes you madly*
Thank you!
Poor Sam.
So much in so few words.
Thank you.

P.S. I cackled madly when the next day another site with Word of the Day had Poltergeist!
