Fic: Sine qua non (SPN, drabble, gen, G)

[starrylizard]

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: starrylizard
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.

Thank you! :)
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.
