Love comes from fingertips

[ultraviolet9a]

>> Love comes from fingertips

 

TITLE: Love comes from fingertips

AUTHOR: ultraviolet9a
SPOILER: none. Except for the Pilot.

GENRE: Het.

CHARACTERS: Sam/Jess

RATING: PG 13. I think it’s tame.

FEEDBACK: Dude…duh. 
DISCLAIMER: Still don’t own them. Damn.

NOTE: for spn_het_love 's "These Are a Few of my Favorite Things" challenge
NOTE2: This drabble is for hiyacynth, because I suspect a lot of it came from a dialogue we had yesterday. Are the colours still pretty, hon? :)

 

When she first saw Sam, she was sitting behind him in an amphitheatre, at first slightly annoyed, then amazed at that bulk of a guy with the bad haircut sitting in front of her, blocking everything else out. She changed seat, then glanced at him sideways, and kept on looking throughout the lecture, at the way his profile was filtered in the light, but most of all at the way his fingers were cradling the pen, keeping notes, scratching his ear, propping his chin against the desk, handing her the small piece of paper with his phone number later at the hallway. Her own fingers touched his and she knew she was a goner.

 

She loves Sam. Always has, in a way, from way back, when she was much, much younger and dreamt of true love.

Feels Sam’s own love stream through him from his fingers, touching her, burying inside her with soft moans and whispers, making her come again and again.

 

They are strong fingers on big hands, she knows. They feel as if they could snap everything in two, but Sam is meant for gentleness. His fingers, kneading the nape of her neck when she’s tired, cradling her face when he tells her he loves her, combing through her hair when he thinks she’s sleeping and he’s woken up silently from a nightmare. They keep her safe when they draw lazy circles on her skin, she, wrapped up tight in Sam’s arms.

 

She loves Sam, all of Sam. Down to his fingertips. Kisses them one by one and twines her own with his. Offers her soul and body and love and accepts his in absolute faith and trust.

 

So when she’s on the ceiling, and horror is mute, and pain silent, she still believes that these fingers will reach out to her and pry her free, these fingers will take her down, these fingers will graze her belly and offer healing. These fingers will make everything alright, because love that is so big it leaks through everything, claims everything, down to their own fingertips, won’t let her get hurt.

 

But the only fingers she feels are her own against the ceiling.

 

Sam hollers and reaches out with his own.

 

Fire.

 

-The End.

 

SIDENOTE: This is unbetaed and written within less than half an hour, but it hit me when I saw the challenge and I couldn’t resist. So.

ps, smilla02, IOU the Mary Sue thingy. Tomorrow!

*whimpers* Poor Jess! This was so beautiful, so sad. Those fingers ... just *guh*.

[ultraviolet9a.livejournal.com]

I got a finger/hand fetish *facepalm* Along with a voice fetish. The Winchesters cover all my kinds. *bangs head on keyboard*

Thanks for reading!

Sweet and then painful. Ouchy in a good way. Nicely done.

Favorite lines:

They feel as if they could snap everything in two, but Sam is meant for gentleness.

Lovely way of putting it.

These fingers will make everything alright, because love that is so big it leaks through everything, claims everything, down to their own fingertips, won’t let her get hurt.

But the only fingers she feels are her own against the ceiling.

*sniffles* Poor Jess, waiting for salvation and finding none.

[ultraviolet9a.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks sweetie. :) I think I'm passing a major angsting phase that only now I'm aware of and that is leaking through everything.

[ohownovel.livejournal.com]

Guh. Jess!
I really loved how you set this up, how she wanted those fingers to reach out and rescue her. Just. *sniffle* Loved it!

[ultraviolet9a.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :)

[quellefromage.livejournal.com]

Nice. And man, too bad he didn't get to her...he was damned tall enough to reach her. he just opened his eyes too late...
Oh, Sammy...

[ultraviolet9a.livejournal.com]

I know what you mean. It always gets to me (esp in movies books etc) when people lose their loved ones. It just...I hate it. And I think the sensation lingers.

Thanks for reading!

[zelost-mind.livejournal.com]

Ah, those fingers, guh. And then ouch. Man, I was waiting for a Jess POV for this challenge, and you have certainly delivered.

[ultraviolet9a.livejournal.com]

Thanks, sweetie! :)

[lark_ascends]

Gorgeous description. Absolutely gorgeous.

[ultraviolet9a.livejournal.com]

Heh! :) Glad you liked!

[amethyste5.livejournal.com]

That was painful, very good, but it hurt to see her still believing in him despite the demon.

[ultraviolet9a.livejournal.com]

I think deep down we all want to believe that love will keep us safe. Reality sometimes begs to differ and that's where all the angst comes from.

Thanks for reading!

[naughtyscrabble.livejournal.com]

Wow. Utterly profound. And so utterly true.

[hiyacynth.livejournal.com]

Okay, really good thing I was too slammed at work today to hit LJ, otherwise my coworkers would have witnessed some impressive colors painting my face. Not to mention general twitching and flailing.

Wow. Thank you! That was the loveliest combination of sweet and sexy and GUH HANDS and then--because it's you, I suspect :-) -- a big old kick in the teeth at the end. I really, really didn't expect this to go right up to the fire, and it kind of broke me.

[ultraviolet9a.livejournal.com]

Ah yes. Seems like a lot of us have a hand/finger fetish. (i am not alone in this world! *pylean dance of joy*).

Sorry about the kick in the teeth. I do like last lines to change everything, but usually I'm optimistic. Except, you know. Lately.

I'm angsting. Dammit. :(

[daydream03.livejournal.com]

I *knew* this was Jess from the opening sentence... very nice, a bit sad but good none the less.

[ultraviolet9a.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :)

[misskatieleigh.livejournal.com]

I absolutely LOVE the last bit there.

So when she’s on the ceiling, and horror is mute, and pain silent, she still believes that these fingers will reach out to her and pry her free, these fingers will take her down, these fingers will graze her belly and offer healing. These fingers will make everything alright, because love that is so big it leaks through everything, claims everything, down to their own fingertips, won’t let her get hurt.

such beautiful imagery. ♥

[ultraviolet9a.livejournal.com]

So happy that you liked it! :) thank you!

[elanurel.livejournal.com]

Your imagery is always amazing, and this one hit me right in the stomach:

But the only fingers she feels are her own against the ceiling.

*weeps*

[ultraviolet9a.livejournal.com]

Didn't mean to make you weep, but hey, I'm glad you like my imagery! :)

[feldspar2.livejournal.com]

Just heartbreaking.

[ultraviolet9a.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :)

sammy fingers!

[quirkies.livejournal.com]

i decided to play in your lj tags for a quick break from paper writing and i landed here. enchanted. by the image of sam fingers. by the idea that jess' love for him preceded sam. lulled into a false sense of security! and then heartbroken. :(
*sigh*
gorgeous fic.

back to (much less inspired) writing.

Re: sammy fingers!

[ultraviolet9a.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! Breaks on paper writing, oh yes, they are so needed. :) I hope your paper turned out awesome!
