I had to go into town today to pick up a reader for one of my courses. Which meant taking Muni. Which meant time. To pass the time, I decided to write some drabbles. I was listening to my shuffle, and used song titles as prompts.

Both Hands
Dean was eating with both hands, one on his fork, one gripping his plate as though he knew Sam was thinking of grabbing it. It totally wasn't fair that Dean was guarding it like that. He knew peach pie was Sam's favorite and he'd still taken the last piece. When Sam sulked and wouldn’t choose between pecan and cherry, Dad said he couldn’t have any at all.
Dean had pie and Sam had nothing.
Then Dad got up to pay. When his back was turned, Dean pushed the last few bites of pie towards his brother and hissed, 'Eat quick.'
Jesus of Suburbia
"Christ, you're not god's gift, you know."
Dean smirked. "Do you hear the irony in that?"
Sam did, now that Dean mentioned it, and he wanted to kick himself but he wasn't giving Dean the satisfaction. "Will you just for five minutes pay attention to what I'm saying instead of ogling the suburban housewife posse?"
"Housewives? Sam, look at them."
"I am looking at them. And their wedding rings."
"Aw, fuck."
"Later. First I'm telling you how we're gonna kill this thing." If the glint in Dean's eyes when Sam said 'later' was about the housewives, Sam let himself pretend it was him instead.
Beloved Wife
Sam had a secret that he'd never told anyone. Not Pastor Jim, certainly not Dad, and not even Dean. A secret so bad that he didn't even really let himself know it.
Sometimes, he hated his mother.
The sainted Mary. Beloved wife and mother, whose death had broken their dad so badly that he dragged them all over the country, gave them guns instead of books and toys, and more often found comfort in the bottom of a bottle than quality time with his kids.
Sam wanted to love her, he did. But how to love someone you couldn't remember?

Just beautiful!
I'm so glad I'm not the only one's whose mind had travelled down the "would Sam be angry at his mother for dying" road. I've never put pen to paper about it and would never be able to do it so eloquently, so thanks for sharing. I really think that at some point in Sam's angsty teenage years he would have at least resented his mother for dying and drawing them into this terrifying rollacoaster that is their life.
As for "Jesus in Suburbia", I love horndog Dean and I love unrequited love between the boys, so I had a chuckle and an "aww poor Sammy" to this one, well done.
Re: Just beautiful!
I was kind of nervous about Beloved Wife, not sure if I was the only one who'd gone there. So I'm awfully glad I'm not.
I'm so glad you enjoyed these. Thank you for reading. :)

Jesus of Suburbia is good, but something about the last sentence seems off. I've been staring at it, trying to clean it up, but can't, quite. Sorry....
Beloved Wife rings true. Sam knows feelings like this are not considered "normal", and that's what he wants most---so it *must* be bad.
I have the feeling that if Sam *does* thing of himself as evil or tainted, this guilty little secret is a large part of the reason why.
*hearts you*
(no subject)
If you come up with something, please let me know, because it's not quite working for me either. I gave up in the end.
And sam was SO using the puppy-dog eyes.
I was actually pretty surprised that I'd never thought of Sam having those feelings before once I started.
(no subject)
I agree, the last sentence of Jesus of Suburbia is slightly off, but I can't come up with an alternative. Otherwise, nice slice of life.
Beloved Wife: ouch. I've not seen anyone deal with Sam & his mom like this. (Granted I've not read every SPN fic out there.) But it makes perfect sense.
(no subject)
One of my favourite things about Sam/Dean is their sibling rivalry and I'm also kind of fascinated by how their relationship is complicated by their relationship with their dad, so I was pleased with how that one worked.
Now I'm totally wondering if there is more Sam admitting resentment towards his mother fic out there.

2. I wish I was one of those housewives
£. i knew there was a reason I didn't like Mary.
Lovely honey. I didn't used to like drabbles but I've got into them now - they're like the haiku of the fanfic world and you do them brilliantly.
(no subject)
2. Ha! :D that never occurred to me to want to be one of the housewives. but oh god, having Dean staring at you? yeah.
3. You were channeling Sammy obviously.
Thank you. I have a crazy love for drabbles. the challenge of writing them and the joy of reading them. I'm glad you're a convert!

"I am looking at them. And their wedding rings."
*glee* Oh, Sam. This sounds perfectly like something that would pop out of his mouth!
That third...
You know, I wouldn't be surprised. It's certainly a plausible idea... Sam 'loves' Mary out of duty, not out of an personal connection. Unless one counts blood ties, but...
Thank You for letting us see these!

It's funny the last one. It was one of those things that just kind of wrote itself and I've been thinking on it ever since rather than something I was thinking about and then wrote it. Ah the power of the subconscious. :)
And thank you so much for saying that sounds like Sam. I am always less confident about his voice.

And yay! I
stalkedvisited your profile and saw you were my age and local!Wonderful :o)
AWWWWW!!! SOOOOO PERFECT!
"Christ, you're not god's gift, you know."
Dean smirked. "Do you hear the irony in that?"
LMFAO
If the glint in Dean's eyes when Sam said 'later' was about the housewives, Sam let himself pretend it was him instead.
Poor Sam!
Sometimes, he hated his mother.
Really, really, nicely done.

And yeah, I could totally see Sam resenting the hell outta his mother, sometimes.
(Um, I'm pretty much going through your fics now, so I'm sorry if I end up spamming your journal!)

I had totally forgotten about the pie drabble until I was writing beached margin, and Dean was remembering a pie incident, and I was trying to remember what episode it was in until I had to facepalm and remember that I wrote it, it wasn't on the show *shame*
I'm so glad you liked! Thank you :D
