this story broke me
Jun. 19th, 2007 07:58 amThere's been some fabulous fic and art created for
spn_j2_bigbang, and this one (which I just read) broke me.
Title: The Far Side of the Sea
Author:

Artist:
slodwick
Genre: Wincest
Pairing: Sam/Dean
Rating: NC-17
Summary: What's weird is that there is suddenly a twelfth century Scottish village nestled on the South Carolina shoreline. What's weirder is that none of the residents of the nearby town seem to think anything is wrong. The Winchesters swing in expecting to deal with the village and be on their way; after all, weird is their business. But then it deals with itself, vanishing with Dean inside. Suddenly, Dean is trapped in Ron Mor, and Sam is left in South Carolina, wondering how the hell to get him back. But that is only the beginning of their problems, because a month later, Dean suddenly shows up on the beach naked and disoriented, barely remembering Sam's name. Sam begins to realise that more has happened to his brother than he can possibly comprehend.
This story is haunting and spare and beautiful, and I think even people who don't read or like Wincest would appreciate it. (It's not about graphic smexing here, people. Take my word for it. I wouldn't have rated this story NC-17.) Because it's about what Dean will do to get back to his brother and his family, no matter the context of their relationship. And it's a reflection on what Sam is willing to accept and live with, for his family.
