Title: in the valley of red-hot steel and fire
Characters: Dean, Jamie, Sam (Dean/Jamie)
Rating: R, for sexing and some language
Word Count: 3436
Summary: "What can I say? If I had waited on you to rescue me, we probably wouldn't be here right now."
Notes: Porn… with a plot! Sort of. Written as part of the Bruce Springsteen Fic Project (song is "American Land"). Thanks to elanurel for coercing convincing me to write this, to joans23 for the awesome beta work, and aislinamara for the hand-holding and cheerleading.

This story has been moved to the AO3.

You took a self-defense course at the local police academy, but it didn't prepare you to actually defend yourself.

YAYAYAY, it's posted! This makes me EXTREMELY gleeful! Again, awesome job my dear; Dean just we way we know and love him! And your Jamie rocks - I don't know how Dean could ever have left her behind. <3

*earsplitting cheers and applause*

[theladyscribe]

LOL. I couldn't have done it without you, dear!

This was wonderful, A! I am thrilled that my coercive tactics worked because this was the Dean/Jamie story I've been hoping someone would write.

[theladyscribe]

Yay! I'm glad I could be of service. ;)

I'd meant for there to be more of a plot, but I gave up on that about halfway through. Ah well. Perhaps one day I will write the sequel in which Jamie and Officer Gary get together...

You really shouldn't give me opportunities to act as a coercive force. I'm still holding out for more Dean/Velma, you know... ;)

[theladyscribe]

I wrote more Dean/Velma for someone in comments once, but it was a while back and I cannot for the life of me remember who it was (it wasn't you, by any chance?). If I can find it I will link you to it.

ETA: I found it.

That was fantastic. I really enjoyed Jamie and was so hoping to see more fic for her and Dean. This bit was exactly what I was looking for! I also liked the sort of imperfect sex scene (not at all in terms of writing, but in regards to how he fell asleep) because things like that always add a touch a realism for me. Two thumbs way, way up. Please, sir Ma'am, may we have some more? ;)

[theladyscribe]

Thank you!

The credit for the imperfect sex has to go to joans23, though. She helped me brainstorm and was the first to mention awkward!imperfect!sex. Kenny Snyder, though, was all me. ;)

As for the question of more... I never say no, but I'm not sure if/when there will be more. If there's ever another kamikazeremix, this will probably be my submission.

Dean/Jamie for the win! Oh, man, I've been wanting to read something like this ever since the ep came out, and you wrote it!

Really enjoyed it. Thanks so much for sharing. :)

[theladyscribe]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

And part of the reason I wrote it is because I wanted to read it, lol. ;)

Beautiful Dean/Jamie, girl. BEAUTIFUL! <333

[theladyscribe]

Thank you! :)

Love this coda. Although if memory serves me, the shapeshifter remained in his last form at the point of death. No goo. But, anyway.

Like how you got into Jamie's headspace here. Engaging and delightful.

[theladyscribe]

I call it artistic license - my personal canon is that after they've died, they start melting. ;)

And I'm glad you liked my take on Jamie! She was fun to write.

Wow. I loved this so much. Favourite lines:

Next to go are his pants; he helps to shuck them, so he's lying on your bed in nothing but briefs and knee-high socks. It shouldn't be nearly as attractive as it is.

*giggle snorts*

You find Dean standing in your kitchen, wearing that hideous pink bathrobe your grandmother gave you for Christmas the year before she died. He's slathering butter on a slice of toast, and you can smell bacon frying. As he works, he hums something utterly tuneless that could be rock or could be Mozart, oblivious to the fact that you're watching him putter around your kitchen like he lives here.

Great mental image, and I love that he has no issue with being in the pink bathrobe.

I also loved the sex scene. Dean coming early, and then falling asleep. Got to love imperfect sex.

[theladyscribe]

Thank you! Those are two of my favorite moments as well (though I'm also rather partial to Officer Gary).

The pink bathrobe is actually a movie reference - it's an homage to Bringing Up Baby with Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn. At one point Cary Grant loses his clothes (don't remember the exact circumstances) and he's wearing Katharine Hepburn's bathrobe when her mother walks in and asks him what he's doing. His reply is, "I don't know, I just went gay all of a sudden" and is supposedly where "gay" became a euphemism for homosexual. Sadly, I couldn't figure out a way for Dean to say something similar without it seeming out of character.

"Sorry," you mutter. "Ticklish."

He snorts. "I barely touched you."

"Just how ticklish are you?"

You look up at him. "Very," you answer seriously. "It's an affliction."

LOL! Hmm... I can't imagine the inspiration for this.

Good fic!

[theladyscribe]

Heh. What can I say? I write what I know...

And I don't know if you've ever noticed, but it's a recurring theme in my fic - Dean cooks and the girl is ticklish.

Aww! This story was so adorable! I loved it through and through! I really wish more people would write Dean/Jamie fics! They are so much fun to read! She's also one of the female characters that most fans really liked. I hope to see more Dean/Jamie from you! Great story! ♥
