Title: Only the Good Die Young
Author: superbadgirl
Category: Drabble
Season/Spoiler: S4
Rating: PG
Word Count: 100. Like, duh.
Summary: We're freaks. This is our destiny calling now.

Author's Notes: I'm not really a drabble person, but I'm overwhelmed at work today and needed a teeny stress-reliever. Not that this relieved any stress at all. :)

Sam noticed since Dean had come back he was stiller than he’d ever been before. Portentous quiet surrounded them, broken only by the bathroom faucet dripping a slowing beat. It sounded like a clock ticking down.

“When the time comes, I want you to do it fast, Dean.”

He was beginning to understand the haunted look on Dean’s face, the burden he bore. Dean had knowledge from Hell for the battle between good and evil, here; he knew what had to happen for the right side to win.

“Do what, Sammy?”

“I think you know.”

Destiny was an unrelenting bitch.




Also, I almost called this The Clockwise Witness, because I love the lyrics of this song so much.

Ouch. :(

[superbadgirl]

I know, right?

You know that's the Big Decision Dean's going to have to make. It's no different than what he's been burdened with before, except ... it is.

It's a good drabble. But I don't believe it, not for a moment.

[superbadgirl]

Aw, it's okay. You don't have to! :)

I'm pretty sure I don't either, but I can see Sam believing it. Old Sam, anyway.

Sorry, and thanks. ;)

ETA: This is SBG double-commenting because of migraine. Whoops.

waaah ... "I think you know" ... guuh. Thanks for this, SPN superangst is kind of cathartic, no? *g*

there's gotta be a way out, right? *nods wildly*

[superbadgirl]

Yeah, they're totally setting us up for Dean = good, Sam = bad in this war (right down to choice of sleeping partner - obvious much, PTB?).

I really, really hope they don't get to this point or any point that makes the characters irredeemable. *quivers*

Nonono! *runs off wailing*

[superbadgirl]

Aw.
