JACK KLINE, for the fic ask thing, jack kline

hi :3

so this one is again not an actual wip just a concept I wrote down when I was being eaten alive by s13 lmao. like the early samndean and jack dynamic makes me SICK I need to play with it . especially bc the rest of the season disappointed me so badly by veering off every which way to avoid the frightful endeavor of focused character development.

I really want to contrast the early sam-and-jack-alone moments where they’re cautiously getting to know each other w/ the atmosphere shift that happens when dean walks in. I want to dig into sam’s emotions here specifically bc jack’s introduction to the Home creates sooooo much opportunity for sam to rethink certain behavioral patterns he’s fallen into with dean for the first time in years! like sam would have that new-parent thing going on where he’s terrified of fucking jack up as badly as he was fucked up by the OG winchester household, and dean would exacerbate sam’s anxiety like crazy every time he opened his mouth lmao. that teeny tiny moment from “the big empty” where dean rudely says to jack “what took you so long” and sam gives dean that blink-and-you’ll-miss-it disapproving glance…. except way amped up <3

also I made a note abt jack’s self-harm scene (with the knife) bc I want to explore how sam would respond if dean told him abt it in his characteristically blunt way. I did write out a placeholder dean quote in service of this lol essentially I want him to call jack “defective” or something similar and for him to attribute the Defectiveness to lucifer in no uncertain terms, and I want the association to make sam Violently Unwell.

last thing I’ve got here is that I NEED to tease out jack’s hidden resentment for dean somehow. like obviously jack loves him and is in awe of him and is much more motivated to try to impress dean than to try to impress sam bc dean is The Man Of The House however the part of jack that’s afraid of dean is being pressure-cooked alongside anger and frustration . and I think it would be very fun if the lid popped off. maybe there’s blood! maybe sam’s powers reactivate. anything could happen.
