Summary: Knowledge is dangerous and Sam has more than his fair share.



Dean was being a dick, again, but Sam didn't care right then. He was watching a ridiculous debate on demonic languages unfold on an online message board where no one really knew what the fuck they were talking about. It was just as well, though, because if they ever did learn the truth, too many of them would wreak havoc, mostly by accident, trying to use some little nugget of incomplete information.

Knowledge was a weapon, even in unskilled or well-intentioned hands, and Sam probably knew that better than anyone else ever could.

How many foreign words would pass his lips in service to the Demon if his destiny came to pass? How many rituals would he twist as a soldier against humanity, bringing ever darker creatures up from the pit of Hell? Just how much of the knowledge he'd gained as a Hunter would become perverted and redirected, an asset to the enemy his family had vowed to destroy?

It made him wish, sometimes, that he didn't know so much.

You know, all your latest work with these drabbles bring on the surface your brilliant talent in writing.

[writingbyebonio.livejournal.com]

Awww! Thank you! That's such a sweet thing to say!

Great story; I love how introspective you made Sam, and I'm sure that those are things that he's worried about. Nice job.

[writingbyebonio.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Yeah, I think Sam's too quiet too often to not be thinking about all the destiny stuff from ninety different angles. I'm glad you liked it.

ooh creepy. Sam - go back to looking up porn!

[writingbyebonio.livejournal.com]

Creepy? *g* Yeah, okay, maybe a little. But seriously, a growing boy needs to satisfy the upstairs brain too, ya know. :)

Poor Sam ... and yeah, he'd definitely wonder about this.

Nicely done.

Thank you. I'm glad this seemed Sam-like to you.

Ooooh. I like it. Very nice. Feels like a smaller piece of something bigger. Is that true?

Thank you. And, hmm, it isn't officially a snippet of anything, no, but it was my first in-character musing for my new fic muse/rpg character, samw_mrperfect. So, it probably just seems rather like what it is, a bit of character exploration in an ongoing but unwritten/offscreen storyline. :)
