they share the same blood and the same blows

 

 

Dean would love to talk himself out of the hole his quick thinking has dug him, but there’s glass shattering inside the antique shop and Sam’s never been good at looking after himself. 

Dean had looked over the cops, the instant he exited the store, quickly written them off—about Dad’s age, probably older, but not as big and nowhere near as fit: too many donuts, not enough trips to the gym. Within seconds after walking outside, he’d catalogued every way to take them down.

Sam needs him, whether the kid knows it or not, so he deals with the cops and hurries back.

Imposter

 

for Mom

 
She has no brain, but even so she knows that something is not right. The fleshbloodbone directing her movements is not her specialboy; it is another, something Other. One of those things she used to hunt with her boy John and still hunts with her specialboy and his brother.

She longs to rebel, to fight off this impersonator, this fleshbloodbone thief. But she cannot. All she can do is quietly curse, and shriek for her specialboy Dean to find her. He’ll teach this imposter to mess with her.

 

the perks of working in a library

 

Miriam has a husband she loves, but that doesn’t keep her from looking when perfect eye candy walks in the door. She’s let herself go since marrying Rob, but she’s still fit enough.

So when Eye-Candy walks up to her desk, with Tallie behind him, she straightens to her full height and smiles. “Can I help you?” she asks, letting her gaze roam Eye-Candy. He preens—a guy looking like that knows, no doubt about it.

“We were wonderin’,” he says, his eyes dropping from her face south, but instantly back up, “if you might have the arrest records for this town.”

 Not a usual request, by any means. She thinks for a minute, gaze shifting to Tallie’s hopeful face.

 “Let me check,” she replies, putting a swing in her hips as she walks past them to the office.

           

 Turns out, they have arrest records dating back over a hundred years. Eye-Candy and Tallie both look stunned by the amount of boxes.

 “Thank you,” Eye-Candy says as she walks away, swinging her hips again. She glances back and they’re angled toward each other, murmuring. She sighs.

 

 

a past that’s rooted in pain

 

            His whole life, he’s never once been afraid of bugs till he sees the swarm coming. But when he looks, and there’s that gigantic cloud, and he knows what it wants, his entire body goes cold.

            There’s no time, no way of escaping, and those two guys—the nice, tall one, and the biting still-tall but not as tall one—order them inside.

            He knows there’s no way out. But still—with those two guys, he’s willing to hope.

            But if he does survive? He’s killing every bug he ever sees again.

Good to see another installment of these. I enjoyed them all. :)

I love this line. Yay for competent Dean. :)

Imposter

Nifty idea to write this one from the Impala’s POV, and I especially like this:

The fleshbloodbone

Cool phrasing.

I like Miriam calling Dean “Eye-Candy.” *g*

Favorite lines:

“Can I help you?” she asks, letting her gaze roam Eye-Candy. He preens—a guy looking like that knows

Dean definitely knows he’s a chick magnet. :)

his eyes dropping from her face south, but instantly back up,

Good detail, and I like that he doesn’t ogle her for too long. He’s got a job to do, after all.

a past that’s rooted in pain

I really like the POV here.

Favorite lines:

He knows there’s no way out. But still—with those two guys, he’s willing to hope.

I like that he has faith in them, even though he doesn’t know them, really.

But if he does survive? He’s killing every bug he ever sees again.

Thank you! There'll be some every Friday till I've made it to "Jus in Bello". I have most of season two and three written.

[iamstealthyone.livejournal.com]

Cool!

[noybusiness.livejournal.com]

I wonder what you'll do for Jus in Bello.

[tigriswolf]

'tis done. It'll just be awhile 'fore it gets posted.

Fab ! Especially the first one- now I'm going back to read the whole masterlist hehe

[tigriswolf]

Thank you for reading!

Nice drabbles. LOL, Poor Sammy. All the librarian noticed about him was that he was tall. :(

[tigriswolf]

Thank you!

[noybusiness.livejournal.com]

Well, it's like Lilith said. One is really tall and one is really cute. Sam's more "puppy dog"-cute.

[contrary-lady.livejournal.com]

These things are subjective though. I myself find Sam more attractive than Dean, but that's just my personal taste. (LOL, Although, to be honest, they're both really cute.) To each his own, right? ;)

[noybusiness.livejournal.com]

Great drabbles, with great characterization of Dean and the Impala, yet again.

BTW, the story you beta-ed for me is now up on my journal.

[tigriswolf]

Thank you for reading!

Awesome set. My fav is the one for Skin, form the Impala's POV. The Bugs one was cool too, it's interesting to see what the minor characters are thinking.

[tigriswolf]

Thank you!

That part of Bloody Mary is just so heavy with anticipation; I'm glad you wrote this, and just love the irreverent way Dean essentially brushes the cops off...

Skin: Impala POV rules. I like her 'words'...and 'specialboy'. *hugs*

Hookman: Miriam just jumped to the top of my Favourite Extras-list. Too bad Dean and she didn't have more time on-screen... I really liked this one. :)

Bugs: Poor Matt and his bugs... *glee*
I can't tell what exactly makes me so happy about this, but something does.

I'll be looking forward for more, especially after taking a look at the masterlist, all the POVs...

[tigriswolf]

*hee* Thank you!

Awww, i love the first one. Dean has to go help Sam - that is just adorable; he knows his brother needs his help.

"Impostor" is very intriguing, i like the whole feel of it. It has a certain mysterious energy about it.

I actually want to be a librarian when i grow up, and i would die is 2 men suc as the Winchesters walked into my library requesting my help. I'd also be just as disappointed as Miriam in the end.

again, you are excellent at showing the point of view of an unlikely character. Matt's mind would have flicked the switch to anti-bug during the whole ordeal, and you definitely showed us that.

- They were all great, i love them.

[tigriswolf]

Thank you!

The impala's POV is intriguing. The use of the compound words makes it clear that this is not an ordinary being. Why did you make it third person?

Re: Imposter

[tigriswolf]

*shrugs* Seemed like the pov to do at the time.

*snuggles*

Beautiful...

*hugs*
