Brotherly love.

[layne67]

A short Supernatural ficlet for dear i_o_r_h_a_e_l, prompted by her own answer to the question that she posted here. She already has three romantic ficlets up and I'm eagerly waiting for my *clears throat* Orlijah, warming themselves up by the fire in a secluded mountain cabin ;D

And I also wish to thank the sweet anon who has sent me that lovely rose ♥ I do hope you like Sam and Dean as well!

“Dean! Be careful!” Sam shouts. Turning his head to look back at his brother, Dean could barely make out what Sam is saying above the howling winds. But he could sense the anxiety in his brother’s voice "What a Grandma," he groans inwardly. No surprise that Sam’s freaking out though. Truth be told, Dean is feeling rather queasy himself, standing too near the edge of the cliff but he enjoys the adrenaline rush that comes with being less than a foot away from a fatal plunge down the Grand Canyon. But then, it isn’t everyday that they get to see this utterly amazing view that is the Grand Canyon.

“Hey, I got you.” Sam says breathlessly from behind him, putting his arms around Dean, anchoring him. It is at the tip of Dean’s tongue to snap at his brother for worrying needlessly, and those freakishly huge arms tightly wrapped around him What the fuck? But something stops him. Maybe it is the way Sam’s body is shaking, hardly discernible but there nevertheless. Or maybe it is the way Sam’s breath is hitching, his chin on Dean’s shoulder. But whatever it is, it makes him clasp Sam’s hands tightly and they carefully drop down to the ground together, Dean’s feet dangling over the edge of the cliff with Sam right behind him, his legs forming a V around Dean. Together, the two brothers watch the sunset, not saying anything, the silence broken only by the sound of the wind around them.

“Sorry,” Dean says, rather awkwardly, not really sure why he is apologizing in the first place but saying it anyway.

“That’s alright.”

And it is alright.

~Fin.

A/N I’ve only watched a few episodes of SPN, first season, and I apologized if Sam and Dean here are completely out of character. And Shinta did mention that it was Dean who was afraid of heights, not Sam.

Ooh, Shinta's going to love this! I think Sam would try to protect Dean, and Dean would probably test his courage by standing at the edge of the cliff like this. Enjoy watching the episodes. SN is getting better as it goes along. This season is darker and scarier and more involving than the last one.

*beams*

I haven't read much SPN fics but the ones that I have read it's always Dean that's protective of Sam but when I tried to put Sam in Dean's place here it didn't really work 'coz he's the more serious type. I think.

Thanks for reading, Julia! :)

[majblomma2000.livejournal.com]

Ohh, Lin, it's so wonderful! I'm melting! ♥

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Thanks Cecilia! I had fun writing this :D

[i-o-r-h-a-e-l.livejournal.com]

oh

Do you believe that I actually cried?

I love this, Layne. And I love the brothers. You have no idea. Love them more and more after Season 2 and all the fics I've read. And Julia is right. Their struggle is getting harder each time. Poor them. *sniffs*

*clutches the fic and you*

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Oh honey. Did I really make you cry? But it was a *good* cry, wasn't it?

I only wish that I'm a better writer. I have all these images of them with the sun in their eyes, hollering down the ravines to hear the echoes, bundled up in their jackets ( is it cold there at Grand Canyon, I wonder? ), but the words didn't come. Guh.

*hugs you tight*

[i-o-r-h-a-e-l.livejournal.com]

You're a good writer.

And with what you added here I have images of them playing in my mind. Duh. (And it's just so hard to get inspired to write something about 'school bazaar'. Hahaha.)

Yes, it was definitely a good cry. Goodness their brotherly love. I've never seen something like that in any shows before.

{{{{{{{{{{{{you}}}}}}}}}}}}

N'aw, they love each other so much. Thanks, Layne, I enjoyed this! (And Mews is right, the show is definitely getting better as it goes along. Enjoy!)

[layne67.livejournal.com]

We're not even half-way through the first season here! Luckily I've managed to convert the whole family into SPN fans because I really I don't think I could watch it alone!

Thanks for reading dearest. Dean strikes me as the more flippant type though I think he needs to appear that way, to hide the fact that he's really hurting inside. And serious!Sam is *my* brother :)

[ala-tariel.livejournal.com]

You know Layne, there is one thing about Grand Canyon and this is my favorite. There is a theory that million years ago, this great canyon was below the sea. It is based on the layers of the rock and one scientist had discovered that there is actually fossils of sea creatures in the rocks. Creepy ya?

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Creepy, yes. Makes us wonder how the earth is going to be like, say, in 100 yrs time. Maybe they would have uncovered Atlantis by that time :)

[ala-tariel.livejournal.com]

Atlantis? Waaa, that's an interesting subject. But not in 100 yrs of time. I guess it would take more. Perhaps it would happen in the parallel universe, like in the series called "Stargate Atlantis". :))

[layne67.livejournal.com]

I've never watched SGA. Is it good? I did watch 'Man from Atlantis' though *g*

[ala-tariel.livejournal.com]

Man from Atlantis...Patrick Duffy? Yes, SGA is good.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Heheh,I was half-afraid that you'd go "Man from What?". Yeah, Patrick Duffy. One of my first childhood crushes. And Bobby Ewing!!!

[cologne-chick.livejournal.com]

Wonderful littlefic. That's so Sam and Dean, to protect each other. And to talk with only very few words. Lovely. Thanks for sharing!

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Thank You! I'm so glad that you found them believable. I was quite nervous about that!

btw, you're the author of the fic 'He ain't heavy, he's my brother', aren't you? I've just finished reading it ( rec'ed by Shinta ) and I'm floored by the details, esp the surgical aspects, you put in the fic, not to mention all the angst between Sam & Dean. You did a great job there :)

[cologne-chick.livejournal.com]

Erm, no I didn't write that fic. I'm not a writer because I'm not that good with English words (I'm from Germany). But I love to read stories :-)

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Oops, sorry.

*is red-faced*

Now why did I think that you were the writer *scratches head*

It was probably when someone wrote in Shinta's LJ thanking her for the rec, and if I'm not mistaken you talked a little about that fic in answer to her comments so I assumed that you were the writer.

Do you know who the writer is?

[montmorency.livejournal.com]

Look what I just found! *beams*

Sweet and perfect. I love sheepish Dean. :)

[layne67.livejournal.com]

omg you found this.

Now I'm feeling sheepish.

*hides*

:D

[ckll.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for the link. It really moved me.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Ck. There are so much about Sam and Dean that move us, aren't there? Love them ♥

[lovetheguys.livejournal.com]

Very sweet story, I liked it a lot. Thanks for sharing! Love, Robin

[layne67.livejournal.com]

*grins*

Thanks, Robin. I must have been, uhm, psychic, when I wrote that I had no idea that Dean would be expressing his desire to go to Grand canyon!

[lostsoul-x.livejournal.com]

the brotherly love
sam and dean are very lucky to have each other
and what a nice fic ^_^

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Thank you, again. Your comments made me one happy girl this morning.

I wrote that little piece when I was still very new to the fandom, and I wasn't obsessed with the boys yet, then :)

And now I can't get enough of them!

[leelust.livejournal.com]

Wow, gorgeous pic!
And you are the psychic! You know what? I want it to be an end of the series. beautiful nature around and they're both alive and well and together. *sigh*

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, Lee, for reading :)

And I dearly want Dean to find his Grand Canyon, preferably with Sam by his side!

[leelust.livejournal.com]

It was really emotional to read - good style, thanx for the link again ( i think i'm not familiar with your fics but i can be wrong - never remember the authors (me bad fan but i have no memory to dates, names amd faces).

Man, the end like this would be perfect! I can see them there! I need to find a spell and chant it to Kripke!
