imnot_likeyou: (the reason why except it wasn't fair)

Yeah. We don't advertise it because most of the time he just wants to be a kid. But someone had to take Chuck's place, and he's the one who had the power to do it.

[Sam does regret putting all of that on Jack. He would have taken it if he could have. Jack deserves to have his own life, but at least he's getting some of it now.]

Right.

( She knows it started as going undercover. But, he's only - so old. Learning everything from scratch. )

So, when he's not growing up, he knows all the secrets to the universe?
imnot_likeyou: (and two motherless sons)

[personal profile] imnot_likeyou 2025-08-09 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Pretty much.

[Sam finishes off his coffee and leans back against the car.]

He's a good kid. The secrets of the universe are in good hands.
matriarchate: (determined and downward)

And, technically, still not a kid.

( She can absorb that, it might take her some time. But, they seem to have rounded back to God. )

I can't imagine what it must've been like, to live your life, to be targeted by Heaven and Hell. It sounds like you and Dean were boxed in, constantly, based on the constraints this "Chuck," wanted you fighting under. I'm almost sorry I dragged you and your brother into everything in the first place, I feel like you keep getting forced into this Inner Circle... ( She sighs. ) It's been so long, I don't even know how we're all in it now.
imnot_likeyou: * bela (i will not let her go)

That's actually on us. David offered us a favor, and we took it.

[Allison had nothing to do with it. But all the same he pushes up from the car and moves to stand in front of her, one hand lingering on her waist as he meets her gaze.]

And if you hadn't looped us in, we probably wouldn't be us and I wouldn't trade that.
matriarchate: (like the damn sun)

[personal profile] matriarchate 2025-08-10 05:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I remember that, but that brought us closer together, not bodies. Not initially.

( His point is made, though, Allison smiles. )

I wouldn't, either. Believe it or not, it had been a few years. ( Her hand slides up his arm. ) Speaking of, I don't know about you, but I feel like my sabbatical away has reached its' end. Any thoughts about that?
imnot_likeyou: (they can never win)

[personal profile] imnot_likeyou 2025-08-10 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I am very for that.

[He hadn't minded her needing to step away, and take some time. In some moments he even appreciated it, when the bunker was too full of people and he needed to escape. But that doesn't mean he doesn't want her closer.]

Dean's actually going to be staying in Battle Creek for a while. But Elena's parents are still catching up to a lot of stuff, and tend to blue screen when we get too into the weeds with the supernatural stuff so just ... go easy on them?

[He does feel bad for Miranda and Grayson, similar to how he felt for Mary when she was just dropped back into the world and having to adjust to everything their children have been through. But Elena and Jeremy have also justifiably been through a lot.

And he doesn't even know about the awkward Thanksgiving conversations.]
matriarchate: (liking this in pink)

[personal profile] matriarchate 2025-08-11 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Just don't call me easy.

( She moves in close, pulling him in for a hug. )

I promise to only read them in when necessary. If necessary.
imnot_likeyou: (because failure's not enough)

[personal profile] imnot_likeyou 2025-08-12 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
Good. I'm sure Elena will be happy to see you, regardless.

[He will meet her in that hug, before leaning in to kiss her gently.]

Ready to hit the road?
matriarchate: (or this is a better idea)

🎀

[personal profile] matriarchate 2025-08-12 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, we should get a move on. I'll break it to my dad back in Kansas. Put more miles between us, but I secretly think he likes having time to himself with Melissa.

( Not-so-secretly, she also thinks, but they don't discuss their personal lives. )
