Summary : Dean was made to be a Big Brother, he just wasn't made to last.
Omg, I love this story very, very much. It's a sequel to another story which I hadn't read before and I'm not quite sure why I didn't read that when it was first posted. Maybe because the idea of a robot!Dean didn't quite appeal to me then, or maybe I thought the concept was too crack-y, but oh my, the story is anything but. So yeah, this is one of those stories in which I read the sequel first before the original.
And this was what grabbed my attention when I clicked on the link :
When Sammy was small, he asked why the bigger kids wouldn't play with Dean. "It's cause I'm not real," Dean had replied and Sammy had scrunched up his face and tilted his head in that way of his that meant that he didn't really understand.
"When are you gonna be real?" Sammy had finally asked, obviously deciding that questioning Dean on exactly what his words meant wasn't as important as the matter of time. Dean had to think about it, because he knew a lot of things but that was one question where he was coming up blank. Later, he wished he had told Sammy that actually, screw what those other kids thought, he was real. He had been real from the moment John Winchester had tucked Sammy into his arms and told him to run.
Old school Sam and Dean with a not so conventional Dean, an Imitant, a Big Brother whose sole purpose is to serve as protector and playmate to Sam, one with an End By date. An incredibly written human story, with the canon bits cleverly written in that it fairly took my breath away.
Side note : Imitant!Dean reminds me a bit of Realistic!Elijah intherartoffic's fic here!
