I love love love this series. All the little domestic details, like Dean's hand-painted mug being one of the few things to be packed, Sam taking half a packet of M&Ms to runaway with, and, oh, this bit:

John’s heart twists in guilt at the abject misery in Sammy’s voice; he leaves the car door open so Sammy can watch while John goes back to the sidewalk, picks up the toy rabbit from where it’s lying facedown on the concrete.

Your John breaks my heart. He's such a parent. *bookmarks*

Awwww...this was wonderful, as usual. I love this series. I wish we could have flashbacks like this in the show. ^---^

Yeah, I love how you zoom in on these. Or rathere, where you choose to zoom in.

The dive into the laundry? I know that child. ;)

Oh Dear God. I so needed to read this today. My littlest one painted her wardrobe with nail polish, and I was struggling hard not to flip out and talk to her sanely, while attempting to remove the polish without removing a layer of varnish.

My HEART was with John in this. *g* I felt his pain.

Also, poor wee Sammy. And Bun. And wee Dean. *smishes them all together*

What a lovely bittersweet snapshot! I got an honest-to-Pete lump in my throat when Sammy called for his bunny. And JOHN. ::sigh:: Okay, I'm...totally gone on wee!Winchesters, and this is so exquisite. Thank you!

Ah, god, this is just wrenching, the way you describe it. Sammy's misery and the way it reflects onto John and Dean--it makes me want to wail for a bunny too.

Sammy+Bun=OTP

"Consequences" is the phrase we use in our house as Dire Warning, too. *high fives John*

oh, sammy. *smishes him* i love that his shoes are on the wrong feet when he tries to run away, and that john would notice that. he acts like such a put-upon four-year-old, and john is such a frustrated dad, i actually feel worse for him than sam. and i love the last image, dean climbing in the front seat and sammy falling asleep on his shoulder.

You make John human and not a cartoon. It's lovely to read.

^__^ very sweet.


also?
Sam + warm laundry pile
and fast forward ten or fifteen years.

that, i would dearly love to see.

[identity profile] ggreenapple.livejournal.com 2006-11-26 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
The laundry pile came first it only ended up tantrumy when I got to writing o_O

so you don't do outlines and planning and stuff?
what about for the longer stories? or do you always just write.. and see where you end up?


*faceplant*

yeah. :)

Or, well, I was kinda thinking of like, Sam in his undies (because it is laundry day, and also because boys will walk around in their undies/naked 24/7, if allowed to do so) and a full-body dive into the pile, which leads, naturally, to roughhousing. Which leads, naturally, to boyrubbing. In a big pile of warm, lemony-fresh laundry.

ooo. wish i could write that up nice.

ah, sorry -- there i go spoiling the purity and innocence of laundry, now.
is nothing sacred?

[identity profile] ggreenapple.livejournal.com 2006-11-27 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
well, "work"... huh. kinda not so much the word.

i'm afraid anything i could say about the way i write would sound incredibly stupid. you know, First I sprinkle sunshine and then the little pixies whisper in my ear, blah blah blah.

it's just suffice to say, not quite so much thinking goes into it; which is something i've really been struggling with -- trying to learn how to do that part. the essential part of writing.

and so i do mean that, it's genuinely fascinating to me, to see even just a little bit how other people go about it.

God shit, I love this series. It's so real. And so terribly heart-breaking. I love it to pieces. All of them come across as people. And Bun. And Dean's painted mug. And Sammy's bowl. And Sammy running away with M&M's. And his shoes being all wrong.

And John. God, John.

Bun! :(

I love the fact that Sam's already running away from his family. Sad, but so right.

Oh, Sammy and Mr. Bun. And no, it's never easy, not for any of them.

Just lovely.

This has left me all teary-eyed and sniffly. And damn but I wish we actually had some younger pics of Jared and Jenson to use as icons (as wee Winchesters). I'll have to do some investigating. Thank you so much for this series. I'm totally in love with it.
