Title: uniquely qualified
Artist: badbastion
Pairing/Character: Sam/Castiel
Rating: PG
Warnings: none
Spoilers: If you're familiar with Castiel, you're ok
Summary: They never have to explain themselves





Sam and Castiel are uniquely qualified to comfort one another when one of them wakes up from nightmares of good intentions gone bad, of flashbacks of the cage, of the tremors and adrenaline and startles of ptsd, or even of something small like Dean being insensitive at exactly the wrong time.

They never have to explain themselves—unless they want to.

OMG, yes, the slippers! I do think Sam and Castiel are forming this sort of uneasy bond on Show. And oddly enough, I think it's because Sam is willing to forgive him. Sam gets what it's like to have done the very wrongest thing for a very earnest reason, nothing mean intended. (And I think this is where Sam has a tough time with some of Dean's recent behaviors. Dean didn't stop to think that what he was doing might be hurting Sam. Dean was mostly trying to spare Benny.) Guh, this turned into a rumination about Season Eight. Bad, bad fan!

Love the monochrome, love the tenderness. Simple and lovely. *flings more love around*

Yeah, I think they've been forming it for quite some time; it's just not as overt as the one Castiel shares with Dean. I agree with the forgiveness thing, and there's also the fact that Sam kept believing in him, kept praying to him, even when Castiel went Vengeful God on the earth. (I agree with this part too, and would add that Dean *needs* to help people. Usually Sam agrees with him, or needs his help, but this time he felt Benny had such a need for his help (vs Sam's need, which seemed to be non-existent what with the normal life, and the no-more-hunting) and it was so immediate that he couldn't weigh other factors rationally. Yeah. I'll also stop speaking on it.)

:) Thank you very much! I'm glad you like it
