Of dreams and wishes, a fic rec.
Apr. 5th, 2008 07:35 amThe one thing that I didn't quite get when watching the 'What Is And What Should Never Be' episode of Supernatural, is Sam and Dean not getting along with each other. I mean, the whole djin-induced dream was supposed to be what Dean subconciously wished for, right? And I got the whole Jess and Mary being alive, Sam getting his normal, and Carmen, even John being dead, too. But Sam hating Dean? *That* I didn't get.
Unless of course, it was because the djin manipulated the dream in such a way so that he got part of what he wanted but at the expense of another. Or maybe Dean's wish was just this vague, not clearly defined thing floating around in his head and the djin orchestraed the rest. Something like
baylorsr's Wish in which little Sammy uncovered a genie that granted wishes, but if the wish was not worded properly than you'd end up being in big trouble. "They're more of a curse than anything else. They'll twist your wishes around to turn them against you, and horrible things can happen. John to Sam in 'Wish'.
So I guess that's what the djinn did, because otherwise I couldn't comprehend why in that alternate reality Sam hated Dean.
Here's one awesome fic written to that episode, Never Be, written by
rejeneration. It's an alternative WIAWSNB in which Dean is shocked to find himself living in domestic bliss with somebody, and that somebody was not Carmen. And needless to say, there's nothing that I didn't "get" there!
Fluff and angst in abundance, it's Wincest, but not *really*. Read it if you haven't already. I've already gone through it three times.
