Ellen sent a message to Dean, dummy. Why didn't one of his parents do that instead?
I fed off a flowerperson, and I spent the next six hours watchin' my hand move.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Because books.
Oh! Right.
I *have* been drinking, so be patient with me.
That's a good question, actually.

Why am I not drinking? That is another good question, even if I already know the answer.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'd wondered that as well. It's bothersome that she, and not they, would be the one to contact Dean--unless there's still something that's going to be done with the fact that Ash couldn't track them down in Heaven.
Also, from a narrative perspective, If the psychic gave Dean a message from John or Mary, I think Dean might well end up shoving him against a wall and demanding that the psychic get back in touch with them right now.

Also, as someone who started SPN late, I always got the impression that Ellen was a lot better at communication definitely than John, and probably than Mary.

I don't see that we've been given any evidence that she'd be better than Mary. Or less willful than either of them--Mary stuck around and saved Sam in Home, and John climbed out of Hell and saved Dean in All Hell Breaks Loose. Those WInchesters don't fuck around.
I can get a life any time now.
eta: John might not think to tell Dean to communicate, but I don't see why Mary wouldn't. And either of them would breach time and space for their sons.
eta²: We do see Sam's car! That looks like a fairly late model SUV. Who the fuck is he related to?

Crap. I was just reminded I need a title for my Reversebang story, which I have to post tomorrow. Um.

I just read a story that was supposed to be really sad, but I think the part that left me the saddest was where they insisted Dean couldn't make it to middle class on his own. With the distinct implication Sam could, if not upper middle. Fuck you. Dean's a clever guy. He doesn't have to JUST WORK IN SOMEONE ELSE'S GARAGE. Why do people keep doing that? Also, why can't he be a middle class mechanic? Can't you work with your hands and be middle class? Fuck you again.
::grumps and sits in the Smart Dean corner::
Yes, Amy, you do. No, Amy, I suck at that.
Amy - Nov 08, 2011 12:42:39 pm PST #22705 of 30002
Because books.
If you're a skilled mechanic with a good clientele, you can be way more than middle class, for sure.
I thought of one! It's a Panic at the Disco lyric, but I DON'T CARE. Reversebang!Dean wouldn't mind.
