Hush, Little Baby

You feel it deep within as soon as you see her; an echo of something you've been craving for a long time.

You barely fight Sam on the plan; you let him be the bait, so that you can be the protector. You'll vet the temporary family; make sure she's safe until the time comes.

You've felt this before; with Sam, Ben, and maybe even Emma. But like the Darkness said, this does feel different; the three of you belong together, a true family, and their call is burning a new Mark just above your heart.

Soon, you'll be reunited.

A/N - I was thinking about why the Darkness took a female form for Dean, and thought that I'd allude to more of a 'family' vibe; with Dean, the Darkness, and their baby.

This is so delightfully eerie, playing with both themes of family and also wrongness, things that should be indelible in the Winchester world, even as the shadows at the corners seep forward. Love this!

This is both beautiful and chilling, I love how The Darkness has zeroed in on Dean's urge to protect and his need for family. I loved this line...

"... their call is burning a new Mark just above your heart."

Oh. Yes. One of my nitpicks with the ep. was that they left the baby with her infected father for so long. If Dean recognized the Darkness in her he would have known she wouldn't be harmed.... I love this.

Love this! I never thought of the baby and woman as separate but this led my thoughts in a whole new direction...!

OH MY GOODNESS.

That's an interesting possibility to play around with--The Darkness making itself into a woman who would appeal to Dean and then creating a child; essentially creating Dean his own family, knowing how important family is to Dean. I mean, there was a lot of black fog. Who's to say, at this stage, that the Darkness didn't split itself up into more than one 'person'? Intriguing idea.

Wonderful idea, beautifully written. And makes so much sense. I love it.

This is very prettily eerie, like it seems beautiful and gorgeous on the surface but look deeper and *shudders*

Wow, what a cool idea! And it makes so much sense, the Darkness using Dean's instinctive protectiveness and loyalty to family this way.

Women, and more so family, are two of Dean Winchester's biggest weaknesses, so it makes sense to me if evil wanted to get a foothold with him, it would present itself as one or the other - or both. This very nicely plays with that idea. It's insidious really - taking his protective instincts and using them against him. Can't wait to see how they play with this. Nice work.

This is a really great idea - the family idea. I love this drabble, it has a wonderfully dark edge, even more so because it seems plausible. 💕

Cool vibe - and cool concept, of them as a familty!
