Why this must be read: I have to confess a deep and abiding love of hooker fic. At least, well executed hookerfic and, oh my, this is. More than that, it's plotty hookerfic, which is such a generous bounty I hardly know how to deal with it.
The story is a loose follow on from a previous story No Virtue Like It (which I also recommend, btw), but stands perfectly well on its own, going on an oft used notion that Dean has done a lot more than hustle pool and cards to keep his family clothed, fed and working. And...now I'm trying to think of a way to describe this story without giving it away.
Let's start with this: this is not your Pretty Woman type of hookerfic. It's not glamorous and it's not pretty and it's not particularly hot. It's about a boy--a KID--who is way too young and, at the same time, way too cynical doing everything he can just to keep his family together. To take care of them, when really, someone needs to be taking care of him. It's one of those stories that makes you want to give Dean a big hug and a huge meal and that twenty dollars you were only going to waste at Blockbuster anyway, if it means he'll go home and get some much needed sleep instead. Yeah. It's that story.
And then add a little more.
Sam sighs and leans against the car next to Dean. "So I go to school and you stay off the streets and then we get the hell out of Dodge."
"Yeah," Dean says but Sam looks at him.
"You're not gonna stay off the streets, are you?"
"Sure I am," Dean says brightly.
"Dean."
Dean rubs at his forehead and wishes his life wasn't so complicated. "Sam, we still need money. The people here know too much about us for us to be able to skip out without paying. And Dad's going to need antibiotics and painkillers for a while yet."
"Dad should be able to pay for them himself," Sam snaps. "He's the adult."
Dean just shrugs and doesn't bother pointing out that Dad's currently an adult with a leg that's a jigsaw puzzle of flesh, bone, metal pins and plaster. Sam knows it as well as Dean does.
What I love most about this story is the tone; the deeply jaded, world-weary voice that just should not come from a kid this young and yet is so unbelievably believable. This is Dean Winchester.
