[lovesrain44]

Title: The Things We Carry With Us
Author: lovesrain44
Story Rating: PG
Genre: Slash
Word Count: 47, 654
Pairing: Sam/Dean
Warnings: Angst, emo, h/c, incest, terrible weather, touristy local tidbits, and far too many descriptions about food.
Summary: Sam and Dean are on the road, saving people and hunting things, like they always do. Dean discovers that Sam is attempting to turn himself into a monk, and so he does his best to get Sam laid. Sam resists because, of course, who needs to have sex with a girl when Dean’s around? It's about going on a roadtrip with your brother. It's about the food you eat, and the maps you follow. It's about the things you carry with you. (Takes place some time after Heart.)

The Art:

My artist was radishface , however, there is no master art post. I put the art in my story to use as illustrations.

Then, I got a wild hair and created my own story banner:



And then I created this one, too, because one is never enough.

i skimmed through the ending (because i always read the ending first, don't ask why lol) and i gotta say, this is so not pg? i'm sure i'll like it otherwise (i'm one of those turned off by the lower ratings actually) but having a wrong story rating is not good D: i'll comment again at the end, when i've actually properly read it but i just felt the need to point this out.

Yeah, let me know what you think. I put it as pg because of the level and type of sex that they have.


Question for you, and I've hidden it to avoid spoilers, so highlight here to see my question about kinds of sex that are had in this story => There isn't any penetration, which in my mind, would take the story up to an R rating. Does that make sense? Or is there some other guidelines out there that I'm not aware of?.

it's really not about how far they go, it's how descriptive you are about it. pg should go over it only by mentions, if even that. pg-13 is like brief sexual moments, brief. not what you had at the end there. i think that scene at the end is quite worthy of a R rating. if you crossed over to explicit sexual scenes, then it would be nc-17.
