A Hero's Armour

A wee drabble that I wrote a while back.

A suit of armour isn't always made of metal ...

This is all so very true. I have lots of headcanon myself about Dean's armour, the 'persona' that he puts on every morning along with his jacket and boots. This really is spot on and I love the way you've presented it too!

Thank you. It has always struck me that Dean is very insecure underneath all the bravado, and the big boots, multi-layer clothing and swagger is all part of that.
Glad you enjoyed it :)

That's what I was aiming for, so I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

See, the brains ;)

No honestly honey your work is always *so* effecting and in such a short amount of wordage too! Impressive! It's the thing I admire most about you and AmberDreams, the ability to break or make fly in such a small piece of work!

This is such a great insight into Dean and his 'armour', from his spiky hair to his smart mouth, all essential for him.

Yes, that's what I think. It's all a defence mechanism. Underneath it, our lovely Dean is small and vulnerable!!

I love how Joshua describes Alec in Dark Angel, it fits Dean too...

"Look. Outside, lots of pretty colors. Tricks and treats. Inside, darkness. Confusion. Alec."
