#celebratingdean | week nine ― fairytales

Fairytale AU: Dean as Peau d’Âne (Donkeyskin).

A king had a beautiful wife and a rich castle, including a marvelous donkey whose droppings were gold. One day his wife died, after making him promise not to marry except to a woman whose beauty and attributes equaled hers. The king grieved, but was, in time, persuaded to seek another wife. It became clear that the only woman who would fit the promise was his daughter.

As a condition to her consent, the princess made an impossible demand: the hide of her father’s marvelous donkey, which was the source of his kingdom’s wealth. Such was the king’s desire to marry her that he granted her wish.

#celebratingdean | week six ― storytelling

He shouldn’t be surprised that it ends up being a story. 

It’s more a fairy tale, even, the kind you read to kids to make them fall asleep faster, the kind you whisper to yourself when you’re eight and bored out of your mind because there is nothing to do in the motel room and Sammy is already asleep.

Or maybe he is surprised in a way because he already knows it.

It is a story he made for himself, his personal perfect ending: the one where he has never touched a gun in all of his life, the one where he gets to appreciate Jessica’s jokes, the one where he has a chance of being the groom at his brother’s wedding, the one where he is able to respond “I love you too” to his mom’s goodnight.

The one with no fire, no yellow eyes, no dead mother pinned on the ceiling.

The one where she doesn’t offer him a lifetime of peace, love, comfort and safety only to make him stop trying to wake up.

Maybe Dean should have know: those kinds of promises have never been free. In the end, there is no picket white fence, no pretty girlfriends, no homemade sandwiches.
