Time and Space

Summary: Dean knows that something's going on with Y/N. Something she's not ready talk about. And eventhough she's doesn't say anything, he can see that pain she's feeling. Will he break the wall she has build up?

Pairing: Dean Winchester x Reader

Word Count: 1468

Warnings: Sadness, a little heartache, worries, but some fluff too.

A/N: Again, this happened because I was in a certain mood and I needed to express it. Life is kinda hard at the moment... anyway. All mistakes are mine! Enjoy!

My Masterlist

With his arms crossed and his brows furrowed, Dean stood in the hallway of the bunker in front of Y/N's door, brooding to himself. He felt a bit helpless, and that was something he didn't like at all. Dean was the 'fix it' man. He found a solution for everything. But when it came to Y/N, he was more often at a loss than he liked. His girlfriend constantly presented him with challenges. But this time was different.

It happened a week ago. At first, they were sitting comfortably in the kitchen, enjoying a late breakfast, and two hours later, Y/N's good mood had vanished. Dean had noticed immediately and asked if she was okay, if anything had happened. But she had brushed him off and told him not to worry. He had accepted it a bit reluctantly, but when he saw Y/N crying that evening, it had confirmed Dean's feeling. That same evening she had changed bedrooms and was sleeping alone ever since.

When Dean asked again, somewhat surprised, what was wrong, Y/N's reaction wasn't quite as relaxed as before. She made it clear that she wanted to be alone. That she needed some time for herself, and Dean was willing to give it to her. He wasn't mad at her either, because he sensed it was something more serious. Not just the usual mood swings she went through every time she got PMS. So Dean gave in, left Y/N alone, and watched her from a distance. He just couldn't take his eyes off her completely.

So he did little things. Y/N liked pancakes with fried eggs, so he made her that for breakfast. He had bought her the book she'd been holding the last time they'd gone shopping together. She loved sleeping in his dark blue Henley, so he washed it and left it on her bed. Dean kept trying to show her he was there with little things, even when Y/N wasn't talking to him.

It was driving him crazy. Dean wanted to help her, he wanted to get her out of the hole she was probably in, but he also didn't want to force himself on her. What was right? How should he behave? He didn't know. Because sometimes, just sometimes, Y/N would suddenly be standing behind him or near him and it looked like she wanted to say something. But she never did. It was like she just didn't have the strength for it. So now Dean had decided to be that strength for her.

"Dean?" he heared his brothers voice softly behind him and he turned around.

Sam nodded with his head toward the kitchen and with a sigh and a quick look back at Y/N's door he followed him. There was a worried expression on Sam's face as he waited for Dean to stop next to him.

"How can I help?" he asked, without having to explain what it was about.

Dean's eyes softened a bit. "I don't know." he answered truthfully. "Even I have no idea how to help her. I just know that things can't go on like this."

Now Dean let his shoulders slump a little and ran both hands over his face.

"And what are you planning?" Sam continued, putting his hands in his pockets. He was eager to help them both, no matter what.

"I'll talk to her. See if I can get through to her.. And then..." Dean thought aloud. "...I'll go on from there."

"You want me to leave the bunker? Give you guys some privacy?" Sam suggested, but Dean waved him off.

"No, no. Stay. It's fine. If I'm not successful, I need someone to have a drink with me." he tried to lighten the situation a bit, but Sam saw through him and Dean knew that.

Five minutes later, Dean was standing in front of the door Y/N had been hiding behind all day. So he took another deep breath and knocked softly on the dark wood. He didn't get an answer, but he opened the door anyway. He cautiously looked into the room and saw Y/N sitting on her bed, her phone in her hand, a few silent tears streaming down her cheeks. The sight almost broke Dean's heart, and he had to swallow a little bit.

"Hey sweatheart..." he said gently, but Y/N still did not look up.

Dean left the door slightly ajar and slowly walked over to her. On her phone screen, he saw a picture of one of her friends. He couldn't remember her name, but he knew she was very important to Y/N. They went through the trenches together and had always had their backs. It was important in this Hunter life to have people you could count on. Who were family.

He carefully knelt down in front of Y/N so that they were almost eye level. She looked at him briefly, but her gaze quickly wandered back to her phone. He had torn her from her thoughts and saw them disappear from her view. Now Dean tried to hold back his own tears and placed a hand lightly on her leg.

"I really don't want to pressure you, but... you're starting to scare me a little." Y/N's tears had dried up by now, and now she looked at him. "You don't have to tell me anything if you don't want to. I know that... that the life we ​​lead can be hard. It demands a lot from you, and sometimes the things we experience are almost unbearable. Trust me, I know."

Y/N closed her eyes briefly and took a deep breath. But suddenly, the distance between them didn't seem quite so big anymore.

"But Y/N... please don't shut me out." And then a tear ran down his cheek, and Y/N's eyes widened slightly. "I want to help you, be there for you. No matter what."

The silence that followed this statement was almost deafening. But Dean saw in Y/N's eyes that she was beginning to understand. And then she let him back in a little.

"I know," she whispered, looking down again. Her phone screen had gone black by now.

Dean gently stroked her cheek with his hand, and she leaned slightly into the touch.

"Do you still need time?"

After a moment's thought, Y/N nodded. "Yes."

Dean put his hand down again and nodded in understanding. "And space, too?"

Now she looked at him again, and new tears seemed to gather in her eyes. But then she shook her head, and Dean smiled slightly.

"Okay," he said, standing up again.

Y/N followed his movements with her eyes and saw him hold out his hand to her when he stood up again. The smile hadn't yet disappeared from his face and she still looked at him questioningly.

"Come on. I've prepared something."

So she placed her hand in his and got up from the bed. The warmth that radiated from Dean's hand permeated her body, bringing back the warmth she'd been missing. She let him lead her out of the bedroom and followed him to the Dean Cave. Once there, she looked around in surprise.

The lights were dim, and on the coffee table were all the snacks and drinks Y/N liked. The couch was pulled out and covered with pillows and blankets, so you could almost sink into it. On the TV, she saw one of her favorite movies ready to watch. Dean couldn't imagine how much all this meant to her. Everything he had done for her in the last week really.

Still holding Y/N's hand, he walked over to the couch. Only then did he let her go, lay down under the covers on the pillows, and opened his arms for her. He didn't have to wait long before Y/N lay down next to him. With her head on his chest, almost half on top of him, Dean tucked them both in. He reached for the remote and started the movie.

But Y/N hardly looked. She hugged Dean tightly and enjoyed bathing in his warmth. His scent enveloped her, and it felt as if it were breathing new life into her limbs. Dean, too, had his arms tightly around her and repeatedly kissed her forehead. He kept to himself that this was somehow healing him too.

"I love you." Y/N said suddenly, and Dean's heart filled with warmth again.

"I love you too." he replied, wrapping his arms even tighter around the woman who held his heart.

And he knew they were on the road to recovery. Even though Y/N ​​still wasn't ready to talk, and maybe she never would be about this, he could still support her. And he was sure everything would be okay. Step by step, day by day. And he would help her until she was herself again.

A/N: We all should have Dean body pillow... Thanks for everyone who was reading! 💜💜

WHAT IS OUR UNIVERSE SURROUNDED BY??

Blog#464

Saturday, December 21st, 2024

Welcome back,

The question of whether anything exists beyond the universe is one that stretches the limits of human comprehension and current scientific understanding. It touches upon the very nature of the cosmos, the origins of everything, and the limits of physical reality. The universe, by definition, encompasses all of space and time, including all forms of energy, matter, and the physical laws that govern them. However, the inquiry into what, if anything, lies beyond the universe delves into both the realms of cosmology and philosophy.

From a cosmological standpoint, the question is inherently linked to the nature and shape of the universe. Current models based on the theory of general relativity and observations of the cosmic microwave background suggest that the universe is flat and infinite. In an infinite universe, there is no “beyond,” as space extends endlessly. However, if the universe is finite but unbounded, like the surface of a sphere, one could still not step “outside” it, as it curves back onto itself.

The concept of the observable universe further complicates this question. The observable universe is limited by the speed of light; we can only see as far as light has had time to travel since the Big Bang, approximately 13.8 billion years ago. Beyond this observable limit lies more universe that we cannot see. The extent of the universe beyond our observational limits remains a subject of scientific speculation and exploration.

One of the most intriguing ideas in modern physics is the multiverse theory, which posits that our universe may be just one of many universes within a larger multiverse. Each universe within the multiverse could have its own set of physical laws, constants, and properties.

The concept of a multiverse arises from various theoretical frameworks, including inflationary cosmology and string theory. If the multiverse exists, then “beyond” our universe could mean neighboring universes with potentially different dimensions and physical realities. However, the multiverse theory remains highly speculative and, by its very nature, may be beyond the reach of direct empirical observation.

Philosophically, the question of what lies beyond the universe touches upon the nature of existence, the concept of infinity, and the origins of everything.

Different philosophical traditions have contemplated the cosmos’s nature, often arriving at varying conclusions about the universe and its boundaries. Theological perspectives may posit the existence of spiritual realms or deities existing outside the physical confines of the universe, adding another layer to the discourse on what “beyond” might entail.

The human quest to understand the universe is bounded by the limitations of our senses, technology, and the conceptual frameworks we use to make sense of the cosmos.

Our understanding of the universe has expanded dramatically over the centuries, yet each answer brings new questions. The inquiry into what lies beyond the universe challenges the very limits of scientific inquiry and human imagination.

In conclusion, the question of whether anything exists beyond the universe remains one of the most profound and speculative in science and philosophy. It challenges our understanding of the cosmos, the nature of reality, and the limits of human comprehension. Whether through the lens of cosmology, the theoretical frameworks of physics, or philosophical contemplation, the exploration of what lies beyond the universe continues to captivate and intrigue, pushing the boundaries of knowledge and imagination.

"IS THERE WATER IN SPACE??"

[dreaminginthedeepsouth]

In the 1960s, Stanisław Ulam, while doodling during a boring presentation, discovered a surprising pattern when he arranged numbers in a spiral and highlighted the primes. This spiral revealed a striking pattern and structure in the distribution of prime numbers. Stan lived across the arroyo from me on Madrid Lane.

[Robert Scott Horton]

This web of time—the strands of which approach one another, bifurcate, intersect, or ignore each other through the centuries—embraces every possibility. We do not exist in most of them. In some you exist and not I, while in others I do, and you do not, and in yet others both of us exist.

STAR TREK #29 - When the Walls Fell 5/6 [full issue]

⭐️: key prequel chapter before the “Lore War” saga, explains how Captain Benjamin Sisko becomes/was the progenitor of Bajor’s religion — 2,000 yrs preparing and becoming enlightened. Ready to battle again.

It is said when Bajor came of age, she reached her hand towards the five moons in her sky. For her great work had grown beyond even her ability to sustain.

So she sent her children to them, to build and dream and prepare the way. She knew how to do this because it is as she herself had been taught…

The universe is gone.

Starfleet never existed for stars were never born.

In an attempt to escape, Captain Benjamin Sisko returned to his mother’s people and surrendered himself to the Bajoran Prophets. He hoped they would save his friends. He hoped they would save his son. But only Sisko was saved — locked away in what appears to be an alternate history of Bajor: where the Prophets never rise. Where the Wormhole never brightens the sky. Beyond this strange pocket universe, everyone Benjamin Sisko ever knew — his crew, his family, his son — are being painfully rewritten to serve the whims of a new cosmic god: the android Lore. For thousands of years, Sisko has lived through Bajoran history, trying to uncover the purpose of his existence there. He has thought it a prison, a lifeboat, a test. But recently, he has discovered that it is something more. It is a forge wherein he can build a solution to Lore’s conquest and save his son. And so Sisko announces to all of Bajor he will build The Celestial Temple. He will find The Prophets. And he will save existence.

⭐️: watercolor/indie comic style works - good storytelling choice.

⭐️: notice similar concepts & terms used in Lore’s dark universe.

⭐️: Will each Trek character (10) become a Prophet/Orb of Bajor?

⭐️: Why was this document written in 1955 - can someone explain?

⭐️ : Pay attention, words here are important; cold to us, but valid.

IDOL ⭐️ HANDS: As I said, Sisko’s journey dovetails nicely with Kahless II getting a chance to truly fulfill his role as a messiah — the “oroboros” concept plays out there too. This is like the movie of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine that we never got! However, AGAIN, as here, the authors cannot resist shooting the notion of God(s) to bits and pissing all over it (gets heavy-handed). Which is too bad, because everyone knows a GOD vs GOD plot is a damn cool story. The way these writers set up the rules, Lore & The Sisko are the only things that actually exist — everything else is at their whim. Of course, ahem, The Lore was never mentioned in DS9 despite apparently playing this key role in the formation of their theology. 🤷🏿‍♂️ Lore (and Data) have had thousands of years to hone their positronic brains on quantum mechanics and far beyond — TWO of the most intelligent beings ever to exist, eons of universes have come and gone — and when we readers catch up with the mighty duo… we get an Abbot & Costello routine! 🤨 Isn’t it lucky that Lore chose to put so very many of our current heroes back into play, into recognizable forms, just as Sisko is finally showing up nonetheless? Why “the mad android” is now so interested in biological beings is mysterious and convenient — we’re told boredom and whimsy. Suddenly, the writers gutted the character of much else…despite thousands of years to evolve or reflect, positronic androids being fantastically adaptive beings. Then what about this, at least: Wouldn’t Lore spend time focused on the MAIN THING (though it seems far from the only thing) that he cannot control? Kardashevs. Montgomery Scott and even Beverly Crusher managed to break known physics to get to The Pleroma via a warp drive…I think Soong’s sons should be able to do a damn sight better. OK. I’ll shut up for now. Three issues in the arc to go. 🕰️
