Better late than never: 10.20 and 10.19 drabbles

[caranfindel]

Part of my challenge to write a 100-word drabble for each episode in season 10. I missed a couple, so I'm catching up on them now. I know, nobody cares any more, but I need to finish this challenge.

10.20 Angel Heart

Owen’s door has been closed since the second time Jody lost him, but it’s open now as she sits on the bed, boxes at her feet, tearfully packing his childhood away.

The voice from the doorway is quiet, but it makes her jump. "You could have just told them no."

"Alex? How long have you been there?"

"Long enough,” she replies. “You shouldn’t have to clean out his room for this new girl. You could have said no. You don’t owe them anything.”

“Oh, honey.” Jody beckons Alex closer and throws an arm around her. “I owe them so much.”

10.19 The Werther Project

Sam’s vision dims as he bleeds, but Rowena still burns brightly beside him. “It wants more,” she tells him. “It wants it all.”

Of course it does. That’s what’s always required from Sam – everything. His body, his soul, his mind, his heart, his happiness, his life. All of it. That’s what he’s always asked to sacrifice. But if he can’t save his brother, he doesn’t need any of that anyway, so he’s more than willing to give it up. He opens his wound and pours more of himself into the greedy box, because if Dean is saved, it’s a bargain.

You wrote Alex & Jody - I'm so happy!!!

I loved what you did with Alex and Jody, putting so much more of an emotional punch into that episode. Beautifully done, and such an original twist.

And Sam. *sigh* That last line was a killer and I loved it.

And well done for completing the challenge.

Ahhhh! Of course we care! And amazing as usual.

I still need my finale fic to finish the season so you're not the last to get it done. :)
