hope | Fic: One time the Winchesters never got married (SPN)

Oh, man, I was laughing my head off at the "stop hitting the wall, damnit..." bits and at “Pond,” Sam amends. “Garden feature. Thing.”, and then I was all: "n'awww! Dean" at “It did,” Dean says, continues to refuse to meet Sam’s eyes. “When you were five.”

I'm deeply impressed by the way you turned this from giggle-out-loud funny to the seriousness of:

“Sam,” Dean says. “We’re brothers. Already next of kin.”

“I know, but,” Sam says, hesitates. “You know it can’t always be like that, Dean. Not all the time.”

Can’t always be Winchesters, and if that doesn’t sting more’n anything then Dean doesn’t know what does. Twenty-two years of figuring his own way and Dad never slipped them up enough to cause any permanent damage; Dean’s only got Sammy to take care of – a grown-up Sammy, at that – and he’s managed to screw them royally in a matter of months.

And the bit about Sam letting Dean have his one-up, and then at the end? Sam's only speechless for a moment. Hee! That's our boys!

*beams* Thank you! hee. It seems I can never write PROPER crack, it always turns too serious somewhere. Damn Winchesters!

Glad you liked it :D

Everything

maharetr said. *applauds* *loves* *applauds more*

:D Thank you!

Dean grumbles wordlessly, but doesn’t draw away. “Too bad we can’t remember anything,” he says. “I bet you cried like a baby. Wishing your daddy was still around to give you away.”

Yeah, because Sammy's the daddy's kid in that family. Right.

Sam was probably the one wishing Jess was there to be his best man. Maid of honour. Something.

Jess would have been his maid of honour, definitely. HEE. oh, that Dean. so in denial.

Thanks :)

I think I would have cried like a baby. :)

...and I completely giggled the entire way through reading this. At work. Thank god none of my coworkers were around. ;)

you and me would be clutching each other in the pews weeping, yep.

AND SO IT SHOULD BE! I think you and I are the only ones who've done weddingfic!

*cackles* =D

*halo* :D

“It’s under the covers, Dean,” Sam says matter-of-factly, and Dean just knows he’s not going to budge. “You can’t see it. Just pretend it isn’t happening.”
ROTFL!! That has got to be the most perfectly Winchester-like line of dialogue ever written in SPN fic! This story is for the win. Absolutely brilliant. :D

*cackles* Yay. Oh, Winchesters. I am fond of them.

Thank you!!

I loved this. :)

Yay! I'm glad. Thank you :D

OH MY GIDDY AUNT! see, you say it's crack(ish), but no. no, i wouldn't be half suprised if this became canon. OH, SUBTEXT! oh, the beauty of it all. the hilarity! the humanity! THE LOVE, PEOPLE! THE LOVE. i don't know why sam wearing dean's ring (hee) is so hot, BUT IT IS! GAH! MARRY ME, HOPE!

and now, a keymash: k;'afl'djasd;fio'/m!!!1

ONLY IF WE GET DRUNK AND ELOPE TO VEGAS.

Bitch. I'm laughing at that crack of it all and then i got this wet thing in my eye.

and this A kitten with bed hair. is so Sammy.

snerk. I thought the kitten bit might be a bit over-the-top, but WHAT THE HELL. THIS IS MY CRACK FIC AFTER ALL!

Jerk. Glad you liked it :D

I loved this. Just the right amount of humour and angst...

:D Thank you. I never seem to get the craziness of crack down-pat, but it seems to work out anyway! :)

Hysterically funny and warmly, lovingly fuzzy, and sweetly touching. And of course Dean kept the ring Sammy gave him when he was five *melty*

"An annulment?" Dean says before he can stop himself, more than a little wounded and automatically cramming back down the jack-in-the-box reasons for that. "Oh that's great. That's just typical."

*draws hearts*

:D thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it! And I'm sure Dean has a stash of all the "ZOMG I LOVE YOU!" random presents Sammy gave him when he was wee.

Wah! It kind of reminds me of reading a Pratchett book, in that there's laughs! gags! humour! and then suddenly something important happens (but oh, Dean knows this game. ) and you go... wah?

A little gen. *grins*

IT'S GEN... WITH SUBTEXT!!

;D Thank you for that lovely compliment :) I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Ah, boys. How do you manage to get into these situations?

Unsurprisingly easily. :D

Wheeeee! The best kind of crack, because it's the kind of crack you can peer through to see something hidden and secret about Dean and Sam. Of course Dean would keep the cereal box ring! Of course Sam would want an annulment (for five minutes).

Heeee. I heart crack in this fandom a good deal. Mainly because the canon itself is already crack :D

Thank you!

That was awesome dialogue and a hilarious and somehow poignant scene. The pounding on the walls, and Dean being hurt that Sam doesn't remember the ring and Sam's 'this might be a good thing' reaction and just...of the good :)

Yay! Thanks for the lovely feedback. It took me ages to get started, but I'm so glad the dialogue and everything turned out alright :D

This was completely awesome. *g* First there's mystery, and then there's funny, and then it gets all touching. Tricky, that. I loved it. Thank you. :)

Heee! tricky. Or failing-at-crackfic, more likely.

Glad you liked it! Thank you :D

ahahaha. i didn't know this was crack, going into it, and halfway through, i realized, and just about laughed my face off at my own stupidity. but really, things like Sam says, standing again and brandishing his left fist. Dean’s silver ring gleams dully on his ring finger are so much wish-fulfillment that it was less like crack and more like christmas. yanno?

to sum up: i love this like pie.

bwahahah! I'm of the theory that you don't even NEED to label crackfic in this fandom, it's all of the same ilk anyway :D

Yay pie! Thank you :D

heee!

Hallo you!

This is a hilarious, cute, cracktastic thing of beauty. PLASTIC RING FROM CEREAL BOX. Gold. I'm actually "engaged" to one of my friends with a ring just like that. Except it has Santa on it and was from a x-mas cracker. Hee.

as said in a comment above, I'm convinced Dean has a collection of these keepsakes that were "OMG I LUV U DEEN" presents from Sammy while he was still wee and guileless. as opposed to giant and guileless.

I'm glad you enjoyed it :D

Only you could write this as gen. *puts you on pedestal*

My flaily hands were going a mile-a-minute!!! ♥

*cackles* yes, I seem to have a knack for that.

yay flaily hands! ♥ ♥ ♥

*dies*

Oh, boys. Never change. *g*

:D They'd better not!!

:D This is one of those things that seems like crack at the beginning, but is so full of pathos that it's really more like humor with substance.

Dean's knee-jerk feelings of rejection at Sam's anulment suggestion and whatnot don't have to be Wincest (not that I mind that!), but just more of Dean feeling rejected and easy-to-leave in general.

This part captured that perfectly:
“You were a selfish little son of a bitch,” he says. “I took what I could get, okay?”
You know, it's funny, but it's also true in an "ouch" sort of way, and there's such bittersweet sadness to it. Even if it's meant to be cracky, there's truth underneath it.

,i>“It’s under the covers, Dean,” Sam says matter-of-factly, and Dean just knows he’s not going to budge. “You can’t see it. Just pretend it isn’t happening.”
Dean grumbles wordlessly, but doesn’t draw away.
Because he takes the message under the message, and if he did that on the series he would be a hell of a lot happier much of the time. Take what you can get, and keep the message regardless of the "style" in which it was communicated.

And then there were things like the pool getting steadily demoted to
“Pond,” Sam amends. “Garden feature. Thing.”
that just cracked me up. The progression of grossness and lameness is funny all by itself.

So much genius in this, both the humor and the emotion. :)

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback!! I'm so glad it worked out in the end, the more I thought about it before I wrote it, the more it turned into this pretentious meta piece about fanfic and politics!

But yay. Apparently it still managed to be funny. :D

I'm laughing away, and then you go and sneak in the pain. Lovely!

“Sam,” Dean says. “We’re brothers. Already next of kin.”

“I know, but,” Sam says, hesitates. “You know it can’t always be like that, Dean. Not all the time.”

*whimpers*

Hee! aww. Thank you :)

Aw, I love this. It starts out as funny, and then ends up as something more. And there's so much love between them, and that comes through, too.

YES, YES THERE IS :D

Glad you liked it. Thank you!!

this is the best thing since cheese! or something. oh please, please, pleeeeeeeeeease tell me there's slightly less gen sequel? And then a pre-slashy one? And then finally one where the power of attorney has to be envoked and there could be angst by happy wincesty endings? *begs shamelessly*

hee! I agree, they would be awesome stories and I'd love to read them. However, I absolutely suck at writing actual Wincest. I can never get anything down because it feels like it's all been done before (and by better talent than me)!

Thanks, though! I'm really glad you enjoyed it :D
