He's some stranger who knows more about her boyfriend than she does.

Together they fight crime have sex talk on the phone a lot.

(Oh, and also there's some guy named Sam who keeps getting his ass kicked and has a run-in with some incubi-infected frat guys.)

I knew exactly what I wanted to do for this year's Big Bang. I wanted to give Sam DID and explore that. Wee!Sam, Stanford, Series, I wanted to do it all. But then I realized this fic wanted to be written in short bursts, because all of Sam's alters wanted to have their say, and I didn't know if I could keep it up for 20k.

Cue panicking when I realized I had no fucking idea what to do.

And somehow I decided on this. I don't remember exactly how, though I think it's safe to say that the people to blame include; [livejournal.com profile] waterofthemoon, [livejournal.com profile] ashley, [livejournal.com profile] unperfectwolf, [livejournal.com profile] gigglingkat and [livejournal.com profile] stephanometra.

So this is my fic, as it came to be. Sort of. The idea went along the lines of this:

Dean randomly realizes one day that Sam probably wouldn't think to tell someone about his deadly allergy to X. Cue freaking out. Dean sends postcards to Jess, telling her things like that and how to keep Sammy alive, well, and relatively happy. They become letters, which become phone calls.

I'd like to thank all my friends, but [livejournal.com profile] waterofthemoon specifically, because she's the only reason I didn't just give up several times.

Dude, don't even feel bad about being nitpicky about that! I'm so freakin' OCD, I like knowing when I've messed up like that.

My problem is mostly that I don't run. Like, at all. And I tried to find out what would be fast without Sueing him up. Sites and sites later I was annoyed and started asking friends. No two who gave me the same answer. So I kinda just evened it out and tried to hope that Sam wasn't a snail.

Oops? How about this, is this better?

"I don't know. It takes me forty, forty-five minutes, so... about ten clicks."

Zach blinks at him for a moment. Out of the corner of his eye, Sam can see Jess dragging her finger across the table, probably trying to remember how to convert kilometers into miles. "How much is that here on Earth?"

"On Earth, it's still ten clicks, but outside of the military, it's about six miles."

Becky takes advantage of Zach's distraction to steal the mostly uneaten half of his pastrami sandwich, taking a big bite out of it before swallowing and asking, "Wow, so you can run a mile in, what, seven minutes? That's really fast, right? It sounds fast."

"Six minutes." Not that he's nitpicky or anything.

yeah. that sounds about right. 40-45 mins on a evryday 10k run. that is really impressive but not impossible, which i think is wath you are giong for.(hope you checked the calculations for the mile stuff. because my guess was just a... guess.)

Yay! And thank you again for the comment, I'm glad you pointed out my misstep for me, because I never would've known I made him slow.

And, yeah, I check the km = miles thing with a calc I found off Google.
