Hello! Yes it's the end of Part 2. I am here to dish some dirt on whatever was going through my mind when I wrote this. Also I'll be answering some reviews I couldn't get back to because they are guests and they did pose some really good questions. Okay, fine, there is only one right now, but I'll constantly update this when there are things I need to clear.
One review asks if Cas is going to come in to the whole story: The answer is that he'll just pop in to explain some things and he's not actually a big character in this story. He is important in a way as in he is there to help Pierce and the boys whenever they need it. He has appointed himself as Pierce's guardian angel so he feels responsible for her and pops in every so often. But no, he has nothing to do with the main plot.
She also questioned Dean's characteristics: I don't want to spoil anything but Dean little character slip is a link to something towards the end of the third instalment. To me, it's would be something younger Dean would say (which is what this was based on, even though he is older) It may be something Dean would say back when he had taller, stronger walls and defiance that since diminished almost completely.
Thanks, Marina for your questions and your review.
As for the dirt on this story...
In chapter 8 where Sam and Pierce were having a little bonding session in the car while Dean gets his beauty sleep, Sam was supposed to reveal their birth dates and who they were named after. He also told her about Dean's fear of heights. Dean was supposed to wake up and hear the dirt dishing and give Sam a good clock across the back of his head. Dean grumbled and suggested breakfast.
I cut this all out because I find the whole "revealing what the show has already stated in a conversation for no apparent reason" make the story sound very cheap and, well, amateur-ish. I'm not putting any other stories that do write canon facts down, I just don't like it. It's that simple.
The whole Brendon story is just something I decided to put in to give their personal life some definition. Sam's past girlfriends have all died in some gory way and Dean only ever have flings (besides Lisa) because he simply can't afford to put anybody in danger. Brendon is a small representation of that tough, lonely life they are living.
Brendon did take up some unnecessary extra chapters but I think it has served it's purpose and I'm well proud of it. Brendon is pretty much based on Sterling Knight because someone gently reminded me that Sterling may be coming in to Supernatural in Season 9. It's just a small vent.
Brendon is Pierce's first (almost) relationship. This I took from imagining myself being moved to a country with majority Caucasians and wondering if anybody would be interested in me the same way we take interest Caucasians here in humble South East Asia.
Maybe some of you can help ease my wondering. Would you ogle at somebody standing around randomly because they have yellow-tinged skin and slightly squint-y looking eyes? Would you take interest in how their hair is so straight and dark? Would you notice that their pupils and iris are pretty much the same colour? Or do have plenty of people who look like that to not really be bothered about it?
And that's just the outside. What about the way they speak? Would you find their accent cute? Would you fall for the way they can't fully roll their Rs or they way they sound as if they speak a little slower? Would you admire the way they speak their mother tongue, a language totally new to you? Or is it very annoying and a great burden to listen to?
Because I can tell you now that the first thing we notice is how your hair, no matter how dark, don't exactly match our shade. The next thing is your eyes and how big and bright they look. We notice how golden flecks reflect in your hair under the sun. We look you straight in the eyes, not to be intimidating, but to determine the colour of your eyes and its name. We probably come off as creepy because we look at you a lot. We are only trying to count the colours in your hair, how many times your eyes have changed colour, and all the freckles that spray across your noses. We might giggle at how easily you turn red but it's just because we find it cute (and a little foolish) that you refuse to put on sun block.
So I guess if you ever feel bad about yourself, just remember that somewhere across the world a whole bus load of teenagers are drooling over your best features. I don't know how this turned so deep and emotional but I won't remove it in case anybody ever needs it. Also please do answer the questions I posed above, because I really want to know.
I think that's all for now. I hope you liked this instalment and that you'll continue reading the third and last one that is already up. But if it's 4 am and you've just finished this one, it's okay. Just bookmark it and get some sleep. Read it tomorrow.
