Title: And that is dying

Fandom: “Supernatural”

Disclaimer: not my characters; just for fun. Title from Henry Van Dyke.

Warnings: future!fic

Pairings: none

Rating: PG

Wordcount: 155

Point of view: second

Notes: written for sammessiah, to the prompt The end of the big battle, and Heaven's won. Whose side is Dean on?

 

            I offer you a choice. The thundering voice is kind. Stay here forever… or leave and never return.

            Your soul aches. You are so tired. To stay is to have peace…

            Where is he? you ask. You cannot be content if you do not know—you’ve spent a lifetime—eternity—concerned with him. You can’t turn your back now.

            There is a pause in everything; time stops. He is gone, the voice finally says, and time resumes.

            Gone? The word must be wrong. Gone where? You beat back panic; it is a simple misunderstanding, nothing more.

            The voice answers softly, Into oblivion.

            You can choose Heaven or the Earth—the war is over and there is no Hell anymore. But he is not there. He is not anywhere.

            To choose Heaven is to have peace; to choose Earth is to have life.

            But neither is Sam.

            Send me to him, you say.

            There was never another option.

SQUEE! You did my prompt!

*smishes it* Wow. I really like this, it's totally not what I would have come up with. Very moving, very cool. And of course Dean made the only choice he could. DEEEN!

*hugs*

Boys who love each other so much!

[longhairedlady.livejournal.com]

YOU SENT SAMMY INTO OBLIVION! Not fair. But I still liked this, good prompt usage!

[glorfinniel.livejournal.com]

So much power with so few words - that just shows how good a writer you are. This is brilliant!

[thegirlisfrail.livejournal.com]

But neither is Sam.

Insert heartbreak here.

Send me to him, you say.

Oh Dean ...

[dreamlittleyo.livejournal.com]

Oh, DEAN! How can it be so short and break me so hard all at the same time??? Beautifully done. It just aches. I'm.. it... yes.

[sophie-448.livejournal.com]

OMG stab me in the heart why don't you?! That was really well done and really, really painful.

[rivers-bend.livejournal.com]

I'm sure there is supposed to be some sort of rule that drabbles can't make me tear up.

Damn. Gorgeous and heartbreaking take on the prompt.

[iamstealthyone.livejournal.com]

Oh, boys.

Ow, ow, ow. Very nicely, achingly done.

[chal.livejournal.com]

::sobs:: Heartbreaking but so true, so very true. Just beautiful.

[tigriswolf]

Huzzah! I'm glad you like it.

[tigriswolf]

Yup!

[tigriswolf]

*glee*

[tigriswolf]

Thank you so much!

[tigriswolf]

*offers bandage*

[tigriswolf]

Isn't he just gorgeous?

[tigriswolf]

Thank you so much!

[tigriswolf]

Okay! *stabs*

[tigriswolf]

*offers hankie* Thank you for reading!

[tigriswolf]

Thank you, lovie!

[tigriswolf]

Thank you!

[fleshflutter.livejournal.com]

Oh that was so painful but so very beautiful! :)

[tigriswolf]

Thank you so much!

Yes! Yes. It's sad, only it isn't, you know?

[kazlynh.livejournal.com]

There was never another option.

*sigh*
*sniff*

That was really moving!
Thank you for sharing!

[blincolin.livejournal.com]

This is such a fabulous prompt, I really like it, and I was surprised that Dean chose a third option. But the way you wrote it, there was never any other choice.

*iz heartbroken*

[tigremere.livejournal.com]

Oblivion? Cruel, cruel fate is so sad.

[tigriswolf]

Yep, I count this a happy ending. They'll be together, even if neither exists...

Thank you for reading!

[tigriswolf]

Thank _you_ for reading!

[tigriswolf]

*offers bandage*

[tigriswolf]

Thank you for reading!

[sadelyrate.livejournal.com]

There's always a choice, and when given only two, pick the third.
Oh, Dean...

Though I have to admit you sending Sam away, utterly gone, took me a while to accept. And Dean... nope, sorry, can't get over how utterly fricking hurty that boy is. *sniff*



But at least they'll be together again.
*sniff*

[tigriswolf]

Aww, *hugs*

But, see? Happily ever after together in the nothingness!

[fufaraw]

The glee induced by your icon has offset the angst of this story.

Nice balance.

[fufaraw]

Well, yes. What else could he ask for? Sam, wherever.

[tigriswolf]

Thank you for reading!

Which ep is your icon from?

[fufaraw]

I honestly don't know. It was made by mata090680, and I've never been sure if it was a JA photo, a Dean one, or one from another role. I've never seen the original photo. I just am a huge sucker for clever crossover icons.

[sadelyrate.livejournal.com]

By Jove, I think you're right!

"tigriswolf wrote a 'happily ever after'-story". Check.

:D

[tigriswolf]

It looks like Dean. Hmm. Second season Dean.

Now I'm all curious.

[tigriswolf]

(Did you get my email?)

[longhairedlady.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Glad it could bring glee. chal made it for a prompt I left at the sammessiah fanworksathon. It's amazingly hypnotic *stares*

[fufaraw]

Found the pic on someone's picspam, here. The tag says 2.21, so I assume it's the beginning of Andy's zapping Dean with a "vision" of Cold Oak.

[tigriswolf]

I'm thinking that, too.

[sadelyrate.livejournal.com]

Did, read and squeed. A lot.
You're awesome.
*smishes you some more*

[lady-lyre.livejournal.com]

Hear that? That was the sound of my heart breaking over this fic.

Few but extremely powerful words that convey all the worry, the pain, and the obvious love (there was never another option) Dean has for Sam.

Yes, just... yes. Beautiful.

[tigriswolf]

Thank you so much!

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

Ohhhh!! *Cries*

Ohhh DEAN!

*hugs*

[tigriswolf]

Thank you!
