SN episode drabbles: 1.1-1.4

master list




 

a brother’s crumb

 

                He watches Dean drive away, and only wants to call out for a moment, to run after him like the little brother he hasn’t been in years. It was fun, he’s man enough to admit, being on a hunt again, teaming up with Dean. But it’s not his life anymore.

                It’s not. 

                He watches Dean drive away and then walks back to Jessica, the dream he’s so close to attaining.

                It was fun, with Dean, but—that’s not him anymore.

                It’s not. And it won’t ever be again.

Predator

 

            It hungers, craving flesh, muscle, blood. It hungers so much its whole body trembles for satiation. It wakes from slumber because of hunger’s agonizing force.

            There are creatures in its wood, four-footed and fleet. They take flight quickly and it gives chase, catching them in a few moments. 

            It feasts and craves more.

            It hungers, hears more creatures, recognizes the smell. It follows their scent and their noise. They are the easiest prey, these pale things like it once was. They are the tastiest. They are slow and foolish, so fragile. Their skin tears and they shriek—such a pleasant sound.

 

 

Voices in the mind

 

 

            The man gleams in florescent light and Lucas is entranced. The echoing voice—come play with me, I’m so lonely, come play, come play, please come play—quiets in his presence.

            The man’s eyes are kind and his voice soft. He speaks to Lucas like a person, not a broken toy, and Lucas wants to tell him. He even opens his mouth, but no words come.

            So he draws what he wishes to say and can’t look at the man for fear of disappointment.

            But the man comes back and he speaks and Lucas is caught in his voice, the echoing once again silenced. It is peace.

            Lucas wants to tell him the truth, what happened to Daddy. But the words are trapped in his throat, and the lake has not released him yet.

 

reasons not to fly

 

            Hank notices the guy walking up and down the aisle with a bastardized Walkman. It’s been awhile since he saw one of those. He nods in camaraderie because the guy is practically vibrating in terror, and Hank’s been scared of flying since he was seven and got on a plane for the first time. 

            Everything’s fine and Hank is almost calm forty minutes in—nothing’s gone wrong. It’ll all be fine.

            That’s when the plane starts to fall out of the sky.

            In his panic, Hank hallucinates a deep voice chanting in Latin. Even though he’s making it up, Hank focuses on the words, trying to calm the fuck down. At least he’ll die with his pride intact. It’s an exorcism: he recognizes it from his summer spent with Dad’s friend, Jim Murphy. 

            Been a long time since Hank thought of him, of either of them.

            The plane rights itself when the Latin stops and Hank watches a tall young man rise to his feet. He follows the man’s gaze to the Walkman guy, and they share a significant look.

            Hank doesn’t understand, but he knows enough to realize the whole plane owes the tall guy their lives. He wants to thank them, but they fade into the background once the plane lands.

            Anyway, he needs to call Marie. There’s no way he’s ever getting on a plane again, even to get to her grandma’s funeral on time.

a brother’s crumb

I really like Sam trying so hard to convince himself that he won’t be part of the hunting lifestyle again. It would definitely be hard for him to realize that some part of him missed/enjoyed it.

Predator

Great POV here.

Favorite lines:

They are the easiest prey, these pale things like it once was.

Great description.

They are the tastiest. They are slow and foolish, so fragile. Their skin tears and they shriek—such a pleasant sound.

Nicely creepy!

Voices in the mind

Lucas wants to tell him the truth, what happened to Daddy. But the words are trapped in his throat, and the lake has not released him yet.

Oh, Lucas. I really like how you captured his connection with Dean.

reasons not to fly

Interesting POV, and I really like the tie-in to Pastor Jim.

Anyway, he needs to call Marie. There’s no way he’s ever getting on a plane again, even to get to her grandma’s funeral on time.

*g* Can’t say I blame him.

Thank you so much!

Should I post the rest of season one tonight, or spread it out--one group every Friday?

[iamstealthyone.livejournal.com]

Hmm. I'd do one group every Friday. It's like having new eps every week. :)

[tigriswolf]

That's what I'll do.

I love all of these, but I think my favorite is "reasons not to fly." Those unexpected connections, that recognition -- awesome.

Man, now I really want to sit back and watch the first season.... Thank you!!

[tigriswolf]

Thank you!

I love getting drabbles for all the episodes, esp now that SPN is coming to an end soon, for the time being I mean. It's a bit like walking down memory lane, almost as good as watching them on TV itself!

[tigriswolf]

Thank you for reading!

[i-speak-tongue.livejournal.com]

Wonderful job with these. That first one? Ouch! And "Predator" was very creepy! They were all great. And it's funny, since I just randomly decided to watch Phantom Traveler yesterday. Poor Dean was vibrating with terror! and I realised that he looks like a total weirdo walking down the isle holding out his walkman-emf(what happened to that thing, btw?). Real subtle, Dean.

[tigriswolf]

I love "Phantom Traveler" because of Dean's fear. *snickers*

Thank you!

1x01:
Sam's 4-year-old voice is nothing short of adorable. *smishes*
And so very poignant, considering what happened mere heartbeats later...

1x02:
Way to go with the monster's POV. I wish there'll be more in similar vein?

1x03:
I love Lucas. I love you writing Lucas. This was awesome, the descriptions vivid.

1x04:
*glee*
I love the fact that you slipped in Pastor Jim, too, gave Hank fear of flying and thus made him connect with Dean. I love thinking about how it'd look, a person wandering about, hunting...

I'm glad you decided to write these snippets! *raises her hat*

[tigriswolf]

More from the wendigo? Hmm...

Thank you so much!

[sadelyrate.livejournal.com]

Not necessarily more from the wendigo, but from other Monsters-of-the-Week. You do creepy well.
*smishes*

[tigriswolf]

It's mainly the boys or people-in-peril, but Azazel does make cameos(check out the masterlist for more details)!

*glomps*

These are all great, but I like the last two especially. I really liked the relationship Dean had with ucas how they connected. And the Phanttom Traveler one is cool, I like how they have a connection they don't even know about.

[tigriswolf]

Thank you so much!

All of these were amazing.

In "A Brother's Crumb" i like the irony in Sam thinking that he probably won't see Dean again, but we all know what truly happens. A really good idea.

The descriptions of "Predator" are really vivid, it creates fantastic imagery.

"Voice In The Mind" is another great idea. 've never really thought about this episode from Lucas' point of view, and it also a good idea that he voice taunts him often.

"Reasons Not To Fly" is also from a good point of view.

All these were fantastic, i loved reading them =)

[tigriswolf]

Thank you!

[noybusiness.livejournal.com]

Great work! You're very good at getting inside your characters' heads. Love the mention of Pastor Jim.

[tigriswolf]

Thank you so much!

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

DAMN, I loved these!! That last one was so damned good!!

Thank you!


*hugs*
