Summary:
Written for this prompt by deceptivechasm on the no longer exists LJ simon_says_dean: Something very traumatic happens to Dean while he’s with Sam (or Sam was away) which causes him to stop talking, *again*. Sam didn’t know about the first time, and has to ask Bobby (or John) about what happened after his mum died. She originally requested Gen or Wincest but okayed my going with Dean/Cas instead. As implied in the note below this was written before we knew about the whole Souless-Sam thing.
Why You Should Read This:
This is a beautifully written piece! It reveals the deep insecurities that Dean has particularly his unhealthy relationship with Sam. The real gem of this fiction is the blossoming relationship with Dean and Cas – they know they will be together and that they love each other it’s all about coming together at the right time for them. Plus I like a bit of Sam bashing – excellent!
