SPN Fic: Just a Hole in Arizona

  • Dec. 28th, 2007 at 4:56 PM
Christmas
Title: Just a hole in Arizona
Characters, pairings: Sam/Dean, some John
Rating: Up to NC-17
Wordcount: 7,200
Warnings: Just incest. (Heh. Just. This fandom.)
Summary: Somewhere along the line, Sam got this idea that Dean really, really wanted to visit the Grand Canyon.

Notes: [info]spn_holidays present for [info]travesty_ , who requested "The boys go on vacation; no supernatural stuff involved" and also "Domestic Wincest, no fluff." I really, really hope this fits the bill, as it's the longest thing I've ever witten outside of school and I'm quite nervous.

Thanks to [info]desertport for the fantastic beta.

I hope you like it, [info]travesty_ , and I hope you had a fantastic holiday and go on to have a fantastic 2008!


Just a Hole in Arizona


Every important thing in Dean's life starts, "When Sam was X and I was Y."

"When Sam was 6 months and I was 4, I carried him out of a fire and everything changed."

"When Sam was 6 and I was 10, I taught him how to ride a bike and bandage a cut."

"When Sam was 12 and I was 16, I taught him how to factor a polynomial and carried him from a ghoul hunt gone horribly wrong."

"When Sam was 16 and I was 20, I let him fuck me for the first time and I thought everything would change, but nothing did."

"When Sam was 22 and I was 26, I carried him out of another fire and breathed again, for the first time in four years."

"When Sam was 25 and I was 29, he carried me."

Holy jeeze, this was so beautiful and so poignient (sp?!) and so sad. So beautifully sad. You do a great job with sparse, to the point, hard-hitting language that somehow seems to come through a dusty filter. Uh...yes. That's how I would desribe the feel of this piece. Which means I liked it. Um. *headdesk*

Thank you. "Sparse" is one of my favorite tones in fiction, the adjective that I would most like to get, so I'm thrilled that's what you thought!

This was lovely.
And maybe I'm a masochist, but "20 and 24" was by far my favorite. Simply and beautifully written.

I think, by common consensus, that does make you a masochist *g* But thank you!

I read just the header and it just unexpectedly made me cry! Maybe Im hormonal, I dont know, but this hit me really hard.
Then I realised that was just the header. So the rest of the story: I love the fact that you chose to leave out the action bits (the day Sam left for Stanford, how he broke the deal etc) and it was almost like reading between the lines, sparse but relevant. Really adored this.
AND: Omg the last episodes today!!

I am, um, not glad you cried but glad it affected you! That header had nothing to do with the story, but I wrote it and then I just HAD to use it. Thanks!

I love how Dean relates everything to Sam. The symetry of this is beautiful but very sad. Although considering what happpened to them as they grew up maybe 25 and 29 is more hopeful than I originally read it as.
