New Chapter: Wait for the Ricochet

Got chapter 11 up on Ao3!

It was barely four in the morning when young Dean heard his brother.

"Are you awake?"

He sighed, turning on his side to face young Sam. "Yeah." He threw his hands up to block the sudden blinding light when Sam switched on the lamp. "Jesus."

"I can't sleep."

Dean sighed again, settling back with his eyes closed. "How much did you get?"

"Five hours." Young Sam said, sitting on the edge of his bed. "You?"

He glanced at the clock. "Two." Dean rubbed his hand over his face, trying to push past the last pulls of unconsciousness. He and the older Sam had sat together a long time last night.

Sam and Dean complaining that Michael's physical projection looks exactly like Adam so it's weird when they go all "sex eyes" on each other.

So Michael switches to young John Winchester instead.

general question for anyone whod care to answer: was there a moment that supernatural really clicked for you? for me i was enjoying it as a casual viewer for the first season but by the end of Heart it clicked and i went from enjoyment to obsessed

John dehumanizes Sam and Dean in different ways, but both in the way a solider would to keep a “level” head in a situation, which I think makes a lot of sense, as John was a marine.

Initially, he seems to view Sam as someone might view the “good side” in combat, something that needs to be defended even if it means laying down your life, but there’s no actual emotional connection, a soldier who loves this country doesn’t necessarily love the people. Later on after the demon blood incident it’s like a switch is flipped for John, and all the sudden he sees Sam almost as a traitor who needs to be taken out. It kind of makes me think of in zombie media when a character is turned and another one kills them without hesitation because it doesn’t matter if they used to be their loved one, they have to kill them for the greater good.

With Dean, he treats him kind of like a subordinate or fellow officer. He cares about him, but in the throes of what he sees as battle, if his comrade is taken out, he can’t always stop to save them, he would have to do what’s best for the greater good in the situation. He would feel sad if Dean died, but he would justify it by saying that, that’s the way war is, and that Dean was a martyr (as if Dean chose to be in John’s Sudo army). I think this is also why John is so aggressively hard on him because he doesn’t see him as his son, he sees him as a soldier who needs to be harped on.

This is also reflected in the canon because there are several times where a character will assume that Dean was in the military, and he will answer along the lines of that he did serve, but he’ll be vague. To be perfectly honest, Dean did essentially serve when it comes to the emotional toll, but he was never in an actual military position. 

“Even extreme grief may ultimately vent itself in violence--but more generally takes the form of apathy.” -Joseph Conrad (Heart of Darkness, 1899.)
