The severed heart lay on the bench still throbbing and bleeding. Before Sam’s horrified eyes, it began to grow. Lifting itself upright, the quivering muscle continued to swell until the unnaturally engorged organ towered over him. Deep in the right ventricle a bloody gash appeared, bubbling and gurgling as it widened and curled into an oozing parody of a smirk. Then a mitral valve . . . winked.
Title: More About a Boy Characters: Sam and Teen!Dean Word Count:100 Rating: G Summary: Sam has questions about teenage Dean's hair. Prompt: the DEW challenge on spn_bigpretzel - Theme: hair, and the SPN100 prompt, boy.
Sam gazed ruminatively at the strange, yet oddly familiar, teenager sitting beside him.
“Dude, quit staring at my hair!” his brother complained.
“It’s just, I don’t remember you having highlights,” Sam explained. “When did you get highlights?”
“I had ‘em a while,” Dean replied evasively.
Sam figured, if he didn’t remember them, it couldn’t have been for long. “I’m surprised Dad let you color your hair,” he remarked experimentally.
“I’m fourteen, dude!”
Sam allowed a short silence to pass, then delivered the decisive thrust. “He made you cut them out, didn’t he?”
Title: Bang bang Rating: pg Characters: French Mistake Jared and Jensen Summary: after the party's over . . . Word Count: 107 Prompt:spn_bigpretzel DEW Character: French Mistake Jared and Jensen; Theme: a special occasion . . .
It was raining when they showed up for work after their unscheduled absence. Jared cleared his throat. “I’m glad we finally talked.” “Uh-huh.” “Cleared the air.” “Mm.” “We can be adult about this. It was just that one occasion. And we’re agreed it was a . . . mistake.” Jensen grunted. “A really, really, really – ” “Great,” Jensen mumbled. Jared chuckled nervously, then coughed. “But unprofessional, man. I mean, we gotta work together for another year . . . maybe even two!” He clapped his colleague's shoulder as they turned toward the set. “And it’s not the end of the world, you know? Not like anybody’s died!”
A few weeks ago, the SPN100 challenge was to “use the name of a country other than the United States in your drabble”, while the DEW prompts were “a character of your choice” with “beach”. An idea immediately occurred to me; it’s just taken me until now to get it on paper.
“Ah, the sun! The sand! The surf!” Mini!Dean sighed contentedly. “Gotta love the lucky country, Sammy!”
Mini!Sam’s head twisted from the crashing waves to the tiny surf board. He doubted this would end well, but didn’t want to dampen his brother’s enthusiasm for their new Australian home.
A roar of childish laughter and thunderous running footsteps interrupted Sam’s anxieties. Suddenly there was a loud “crump” sound, and all there was left to see of Dean was the top of a shiny plastic head extruding from a damp sandy footprint. From beneath, he heard a muffled cry of “mmm mm m mmmph!”
Title: Guardians, too. Characters: Dean, Sam, OCCs Rating: G Word Count: 139 - a bit over, but it is Easter :) Summary: what have they been drawn into this time? Prompt: spn_bigpretzel DEW special challenge - Put the Easter Bunny into a 'Supernatural' scenario ...
“Is this going to become a habit?” Sam complained.
“I dunno. It’s kinda cute.”
Sam stared at the soppy grin on his brother’s oddly drawn features.
“Who are you? And what have you done with my brother?” The question had never seemed more apt.
Wings fluttered and whizzed in front of his face and he barely resisted the reflex to swat before Tooth Fairy’s excessively cheery voice urged “come on, boys! It’s going to take all of us to defeat Pitch!”
“I can’t wait to drive the sleigh!” Dean gushed.
“Only North drives the sleigh, mate!” Easter Bunny insisted, thumping the ground with his foot. “We’re taking the express route.”
A hole opened beneath them, they hung in the air for a second, then their bodies briefly elongated before snapping back as they dropped.
I've mentioned the Hero's Journey a few times in episodes where the parallels were obvious to me but, re-reading Campbell for this scene, I've realized that I've missed a number of other…
There's a lot to unpack in the last three episodes. Particularly, we'll see the themes from this scene revisited in the confrontation with the Demon in "Devil's Trap".
Comments
Yes, I would be interested in an in-depth Campbell post.
I find it interesting that while both Dean and Sam compare Sam to John, John doesn't. In this scene…
Thanks so much for your…
