This little snippet is dedicated to a certain scene in 'Phantom Traveller';a scene which I utterly and wholly blame for my hopelessly pathetic Supernatural obsession.  Every fanfic I've written, every single name on my F-list here, every single penny I've spent at conventions; it can all be traced back to fifteen jaw-dropping seconds at the beginning of this episode.

Damn you Kripke ...

Even at rest, he is never 'at rest'.

Sprawled long and lean across the motel bed, the sweeping curve of his spine is taut beneath the black T-shirt that enfolds it.

Sheets kicked aside during a night of restless motion, are knotted around bare legs muscled and tightened by a lifetime of danger.

Beneath his pillow, slender fingers are closed around the hilt of his knife, secreted there for peace of mind which doesn't come.

He is a coiled spring.

Wary eyes snap open and the last vestiges of tormented sleep recede as Sam arrives bearing caffeine.

As if he needs it.

Very funny. Little did they know when they filmed that scene that it would long be a scene for increasing objectification on our little fangirl hearts over these last years. Oh Jensen, the curve of your spine, such a wonder to behold.

So very true, this story. When at rest, Dean is rarely truly at rest. Always the soldier, always on guard. Perhaps it is all the caffeine drips that Dean gets all the time that seems to help keep him on edge. Perish the thought of him every having to go a day, week or month without his caffeine. He would probably be a mess. Loved this.

Indeed, my eager eyes have traced that lucious curve many a time ...
I blame the menopause - although it could be that I'm just a pervert ...

I think we are all just red-blooded women, that appreciate a good looking man, and appreciate a good looking man with a very very very fine form. Nothing wrong with that, I say.
