A fic and a vid. And, no, the vid is *not* of Jensen buying tampons ^-^

One of the best Sam-going-darkside fics I've ever read.

Title : To The End
Author : esohpe
Summary : The world is ending, Sam has turned, and Dean stops running.

When Dean finally gets tired of running, he stops. It’s a Thursday and outside the sky is blue, the air chill, and he’s sitting on the flimsy lid of a toilet seat in some grungy bathroom in some grungy diner in Wisconsin, staring at spidery red graffiti on the door of the stall that says “I did ur mom.” Four and a half minutes later, when he leaves the diner, doughnuts and chips tucked up under his arm and the last of his change jangling in his back pocket, the sky is still blue, the air still chill, and everything else has changed. He gets into the car he hotwired two states away and drives and drives and drives. He heads for dense forest and a place he knows.

The title says it all. Sam turns darkside and there's only one thing left that can still save him. The brothers' love for each other. Gripping right from the beginning, it terrified me at first, because it seemed that Sam was really evil. That there was no more Sam left inside. I *almost* stopped reading it. Almost. But not quite.

Because of this.

Afterwards, Sam manhandles him back into the car, and uses another piece of rope to loosely tie his wrists and ankles together. Dean can’t bring his hands up much higher than his waist, but it’s a hell of a lot comfier and he’s thankful for small mercies. He’s even more thankful when Sam brings out the contents of the carrier bag: cheese and ham bagels, two bottles of water, a bag of peanut M&Ms. “I figured you’d be hungry,” Sam says, with a shrug, and Dean has no clue what’s going on because peanut M&Ms for fuck’s sake. He stays silent.

Evil!Sam giving Dean peanut M&Ms? I knew then I that could read this story. Yup, right to the very end. And it's brilliant.

It's very dark, yes, but it's full of love, too. And I love Dean's conclusions on why Mary and Jessica just had to die.

And there's a vid to go with the fic as well!

Just finished it about an hour ago. And ouch! It was wonderful and so well written but oh man are the boys broken! I know they are trying but I don't know if they can fix each other. *cries*

[layne67.livejournal.com]

As long as they have each other, they can do anything!

Thank goodness that Sam still has it in him to love his brother. I couldn't bear it if they hate each other!

I've got to read it again, there're some parts that I didn't quite understand. When Dean tried to strangle himself. That wasn't him at all, I think?

And oh, Sam the killer :(

( I still can't get over sam kiling Gordon the way he did )

I love me some evil!sam fics but I am the same - I can only bear them if Sam still loves Dean. Even if it is desperate and Dean is rallying against him.

When Dean tried to strangle himself that was Andy mind-nuking him. Sam brought the psychic kids (Andy, Ava etc - all except Jake) back from the dead to help him bring Hell to earth. But then Meg (who Sam made a deal with to save Dean's soul) ordered Dean's death so the psychic's came after him and Sam did to but really to save him not kill him.

I KNOW - Sam the killer!! And I have to admit that authoritive-order-Dean-around-and-tie-him-up-Sam was a weeney teeney bit of a turn on. *g*

See I think in our huge SQUEE over that episode, and because it was necessary, we have overlooked something. As my husband pointed out on Monday when the ep aired here, it is physically impossible (even with adreneline pumping thru you and even being a huge ass 6'4 man of muscle) to sever someone's head with brute strength and barbed wire alone. It would take superhuman strength - or DEMON strength. Did Sam have another little slip further into his darkside there??

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Hysterical strength (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hysterical_strength), brought about by desperation IMO.

You've heard about mothers with superhuman strength when it comes to saving their children's lives, right? Same here with Sam, I think.

There's a rather interesting discussion about it here.

Hmmm... possibly. You gotta do what you gotta do when a fang is feasting on your brother and wants you dead don't you.

BTW, loved the discuss.

Remember 'Nightmare'? Sam doesn't normally have telekinetic powers. He has visions, but he can't move things. That's Max's domain. But he could in that episode, when he "saw" Dean being shot. So what did he has there - super, super abilities? Abilities beyond his usual abilities?

I'm gonna read it VERY slowly so it will last.

But I've scanned and it looks like Dean is having Stockholm Syndrome? Well, I don't know. :)

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Nah. Sam's his brother, not some unknown hostage-taker.

I couldn't read it slowly because I really wanted to know how it's going to end!

Eeee! So good. Thanks for the recs! (As always.)

Here's a vid I just found. You might like it. :)

Oh that is absolutely brilliant. The super-imposings are seamless and oh-so-smooth, the kissings and the sex *flails*

I can't understand why some people could say that they didn't get the slashy vibes between those two. Dean's eyes, especially, always lingers on Sam, and he also looks at Sam's lips A LOT!!! ( and licking his own lips at the same time, too! ). Oh boys ...
