Conflict and Resolution

by bjxmas

8.09 Citizen Fang thru 8.19 Taxi Driver tag – Dean and Sam at odds over his friendship and loyalty to a vampire. Dean trusted Benny. Sam did not. Mistrust, misunderstandings and lack of communication compounded by stubborn men with hurt feelings. Tension & turmoil between brothers. 100 word drabbles. Sam finally sees and understands...and comes to regret his actions.

12. Outside Perspective

8.11 LARP and the Real Girl tag

Chapter Twelve – Outside Perspective

Seeing Sam and Dean again.

Well…it scared me.

But the truth is, if evil is out there.

I want these guys here, fighting it.

I asked Dean for the wiki since I last saw them.

He confessed a douche-bag move.

A text, a desperate lie, to save a friend.

I admire his loyalty.

He's a guy you can count on in a crisis.

Still, Sam's his brother.

That's special.

You never, ever put that second.

Dean was sorry.

I could see it in his eyes.

But also resigned, accepting of feeling like crap

For the things he's forced to do.

The End

All standard disclaimers apply.

I love Charlie, love that she's popular and doesn't appear to be a threat so she might avoid the female curse and stick around for a while. I love that Dean feels close to her and was willing to open up. He needs someone to talk to when he and Sam are at odds.

And Robbie Thompson, man, he is golden in the writing room; giving us everything we could hope for in an episode and doing it in a fun and original way. Dean and the fans all needed a break, and Dean channeling Braveheart…priceless!

Thanks for reading. All comments welcome.
