10.14 Drabble

100 words per episode...

Words are as good as a knife. Cain’s words tumble through your mind as you sink the Blade into his flesh, foretelling death for the demon, then your angel, then your brother. Your words chase Crowley away, because if he’s gone, if you can’t kill him, maybe he won’t be the first domino. Sam’s words express his hope and faith, which only means he won’t defend himself against you, won’t stop you, won’t do what has to be done. Cain’s words made it clear - he couldn’t stop, wouldn’t stop, and neither will you. The words cut, and everyone will bleed.

Gosh, this is so deliciously angsty.

I really liked the way you showed Dean's reasoning behind his cutting words to Crowley: Your words chase Crowley away, because if he’s gone, if you can’t kill him, maybe he won’t be the first domino.
That's how I interpreted them too.

Thank you! It actually took a while for me to get there, re Crowley, and I hope our interpretation is correct.

Oooh, very poignant. I love that you interspersed words as a theme in the drabble, and everything fell in place perfectly around that. Like dominoes, yes.

The words cut and everyone will bleed.

Oh, my, yes.

Thank you!

This is perfect, just how I imagine our poor Dean is feeling. And because Sam "won’t defend himself against you, won’t stop you, won’t do what has to be done" I think Dean will ask Cas to fulfill his promise *sobs*

[caranfindel.livejournal.com]

Yes, but you know Cas won't do it!

[jj1564.livejournal.com]

I certainly hope not!

Nailed it! It did feel like Dean was pushing Crowley away, and I wonder if we'll see him do the same to Sam and Cas too? I love how dark and angsty this is, and that last line is a killer.

Thank you!

You express so beautifully the power of words, and what they mean for each of the characters. And I love the connection between the first and last sentences.

Thanks!

Demons have always been too good at finding the right words to pierce Dean - great drabble!

[caranfindel.livejournal.com]

Yes, they have! Thank you.
