Mom Stuff

Dean's hands hover as he carefully inspects each of Sam's bloody wounds with a murderous glare. The second Mary turns the key and the chains crash to the ground, Sam's shaking arms wrap desperately around his brother like he's seeking assurance that he's real. They hold each fiercely, like they're each other's world; an instinct that she may never fully understand.

There's a million things she's missed; first words and first loves, but seeing the way they hold each other, an indescribable bond that's all theirs, something they did without her and John; well, that's the Mom stuff she's craving.

A/N: A bit of a mixed bag for me! There were some truly awesome highlights like Sam and Mary's conversation and hug that brought a tear to my eye, but also a lot of confusion and uncertainly regarding the BMoL and their motivations. I do wonder if maybe Toni has a vendetta here, some kind of personal history or connection with the Winchesters which would explain some of her behaviour? On the whole I like the idea of a human threat for this season, and I'd welcome many more feely Winchester family moments!

I don't mind the idea of a human threat, I'm just struggling with it's credibility at the moment. Lovely drabble!

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

Yes, it does seem confusing. I guess it's only episode 2, so they're going to have to stretch it out over a lot of episodes before we know more. But still, I think they at least could have given us a bit of consistency (Do they want the Winchesters dead or alive? Do they want to work with them or not? Maybe they have a completely different end game? Are they actually BMoL - or rouge agents?)

I'm happy that you enjoyed the drabble - what can I say except I wanted a brotherly hug?! Thanks for stopping by :)

I'm just combining everyone's fix it fics into my own head canon!

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

Yes! There's been a few for this episode and I've been devouring as many as I can find!!! ;)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I've only read yours and sandymg's so far so if you have any recs for me, I'd be grateful :D

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

Ooh ta! And thanks! :D

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome. These are just the ones I've seen on my flist so far, I would imagine that we might get a few more yet :D

[borgmama1of5.livejournal.com]

Thank you for giving us the brother hug that the episode forgot!

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome!!! I was craving it, and while I did enjoy Sam and Mary's moment, I wanted the boys to have one too.

Tank you for reading and commenting. Take care :)

[dancing-adrift.livejournal.com]

Oh, that was just lovely, and perfect. ♥♥♥ Thank god for fandom fix-it fics ;) Thanks for sharing!

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

\o/ I'm so happy that you enjoyed it, and thank you so much for reading!!! I really needed a brotherly moment here, and while Sam and Mary's hug gave me so many feels, you can never have too many Winchester hugs.

Thank you for stopping by ♥

[frozen_delight]

Bittersweet and perfect! And such a lovely addition to your summergen fic, don't you think? <3

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I needed that hug, and it seemed fitting coming from Mary after her 'mom stuff' speech (and yes, it would seem that I now can't shake off writing her POV!!!) I really am enjoying how Show is portraying Mary, it's what I wanted plus so much more.

Thank you for stopping by my friend. Take care :)

> I do wonder if maybe Toni has a vendetta here, some kind of personal history or connection with the Winchesters which would explain some of her behaviour?

I've been wondering that, too.

Love your little vignette on Sam and Dean's relationship from Mary's pov. But I've also been wondering how Mary's presence is going to impact on that relationship . . .

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

It's intriguing isn't it? Toni seemed very determined to get rid of them, and it does make you wonder why she wants it so bad? It certainly feels like it could be personal.

I'm really enjoying Mary so far, and I couldn't resist writing more of her POV and I'm happy that you enjoyed it. Yes, it'll be interesting to see how her presence affects the boys and their dynamic; will she always hunt with them? Or will she sometimes just not be there? In which case do we get one of the odd little conversations the boys have to explain away a characters absence? I'm excited to find out.

Thank you for reading and commenting. Take care :)

Recalling that Winchester collage she had all over her wall last season, with their detailed history: that looked pretty personal - and rather hunterish.

Yes, I'm enjoying Mary so far, too. Samantha Smith's doing great work and J2 seem to have renewed excitement and energy in their roles, too. I'm looking forward to seeing how the dynamics develop. And you're probably right in anticipating odd little exposition scenes. Well, they've set up one for next week already, haven't they? "Mom not coming with us?" "No, she's really getting stuck into Dad's journal. I think she needs time to, you know, absorb it all." :P

Thanks for sharing your lovely drabble.

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

Yes, that wall was very personal and it was in her own house right?!!! Also we know she has a kid, but I don't think we know anything about the father? Is there a connection there I wonder; is he dead because of something the Winchesters did? There's a lot of possibilities I guess.

Haha yes; Mary's reading the journal, or she's not feeling too well, or she's on a day trip with Cas, or she's taking a cooking class. It's gonna happen, and when it does I'll think of our conversation ;)

Thank you so much for coming here and sharing your thoughts.

> Also we know she has a kid, but I don't think we know anything about the father? Is there a connection there I wonder; is he dead because of something the Winchesters did?

Yep, I've been thinking along those lines, too :)

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

Hehe - great minds think alike ;)

[zara-zee.livejournal.com]

Beautiful. Thank you for this missing scene. It's now inserted into my head-canon! :)

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

Hehe, you're more than welcome! I needed my bro-hug, and I liked the idea of Mary wanting to see it too. Thank you for reading. Take care :)

[caranfindel.livejournal.com]

\o/!!!!

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

Well, I do love me a Winchester hug!!! ;)

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

Ahhh the Bro-Hug we never got!

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

Yes, I simply had to rectify the situation. Because while the Sam and Mary hug brought a tear to my eye, I needed my bro-hug too. I mean Show - we can have more than one hug per episode!!!

Thank you for stopping by. Take care :)

[metallidean-grl.livejournal.com]

Perfect. That is the scene I wanted and should have had, or some likeness of it. After viewing it again, I can see how maybe a hug scene might not have fit in with what was going on, but I still feel cheated that we did not get a Dean/Sam hug, cuz, well, you know, Sam thought he was dead all this time while he was being tortured and would never have expected to be rescued and now he was, his brother is back. We should have....we deserved a hug.

I am also curious as to Toni's motives. They say they want to work with the Hunters to rid the States of monsters, and yet they go about imprisoning and torturing Sam?? And talk about bringing this other person in that sounds to be like the ultimate torturer. Definitely not a way to start working with someone to rid us of monsters. There are other motives at play here, more evil motives, I think, that have yet to be revealed.

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

Yes! I can see how it would be logically awkward to make it happen, but it seemed like a lot of the tension was centered around Sam thinking he was alone and couldn't be rescued because his brother was dead. Like you said, it would have been nice to see something and we certainly deserved some payoff from the separation.

I'm really hoping all is not what it seems with the BMoL, like maybe Toni and Mike(?) are rouge agents or something. I think she did hint in 12.01 about some kind of rift where some members wanted to help the Winchesters during the apocalypses, but others didn't. I'm looking forward to seeing how it plays out.

Thank you for reading and stopping by to share your thoughts. take care :)

[becc-j.livejournal.com]

ok, I'm dead on the floor...*reads it over at least a dozen times more*

Wonderful, and thank you so much for writing this, I was a bit annoyed with the lack of reunion between the boys and also Sam apparently heals overnight. There wasn't a single mark on his face, even though I'm pretty sure he was cut across the cheek...but Toni looked black and blue in her car scene. Anyway never mind, I'm nitpicking. I loved that last scene between Sam and Mary, perfect, like this drabble <3

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome, I really wanted a little bit more of a reunion, and especially a hug. The episode sort of focused on them being separated and Sam thinking Dean was dead, so it would have been nice if we'd been given a bit more than what we got (but Sam's hug with Mary did make me feel better!)

Ah yes, I think fandoms idea is that Cas healed Sam off screen but damn, you know me and my h/c, I would have loved to see Dean or Mary patch Sam up (how cute would it have been to see Mary do it?! Awkward but concerned and sweet *happy sigh*) Thank you so much for stopping by, and I'm so happy that you enjoyed the drabble. Take care lovely ♥

[becc-j.livejournal.com]

Also I owe you an email!! Yikes I'm slack!!

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

Honestly there's no hurry, so please don't worry about it! And we should really stop apologizing to each for not emailing back right away.x

[kalliel]

Yeah, I have no earthly idea what the BMoL are up to, and where Toni fits into the schema. XD

But I do very much love this sense of alienation--and the pang of having missed whatever it is has developed and holds so true between her two sons. (Also, reading these Mary drabbles in retrograde is SO EXCELLENT. While I'm sorry to have had to wait to get to these, this kind of makes up for it. It's like stepping back through Mary's first thoughts upon resurrection. <3)

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

BMoL are confusing, and I'm hoping that we just don't have the whole story yet; that Toni has some personal history, that she's a rouge agent, that there's a split in the BMoL, or something.

It must be quite weird for Mary to be an outsider to her sons close relationship, to not understand it, or know how and why it's formed over the years. Thank you so much for reading and commenting ♥

[casey28.livejournal.com]

This would've been a perfect scene on the show! Protective!Dean, a fierce brother hug (I'll never understand why the writers didn't give us this) and Mary getting the "Mom stuff she's craving". Wonderful! <3

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I think we all needed that hug, so I just had to write it! I love the idea of Mary craving all the 'Mom stuff' that she's missed over the years, as well seeing her boys develop the bond they share.

Thank you so much for stopping by :)
