Every Man is Calvary (SPN 5.22 coda)

[ariadnes_string]

I can't believe I'm adding to the coda glut. I've read so many great ones, and I wasn't going to do anything, but then this happened. At least it's short….Am posting it before I second guess. .I really am going to write meta too, I promise

And, just for a minute, sixty seconds max, he was happy.

Way to slay me, hon. I thought I was done with crying over this episode (oh, who am I kidding?)

[ariadnes_string]

Thanks for reading, bb! There was something about that episode--I think we're in for a lot more fic, and a lot more tears--

A Dean wallowing in despair is just not a pretty thing, is it? Beautifully captured, and your last line is a killer.

Thanks, hon! Dean will always be pretty (*g*)-but you gotta think the first few months w/o Sam would have been devastating....

I'm glad you went ahead and posted!

Sometimes, you've just gotta click that box, y'know? Thanks for reading!

Most fics with Dean and Lisa end up with him leaving, or her kicking him out, or the whole thing being a facade, I love that you want someplace positive with their relationship. Excellent work.

[ariadnes_string]

Yeah, I guess I think that one of Dean's core characteristics is being able to live in the moment--finding unexpected things to enjoy in any situation--even if sometimes he hates himself for it.

Thanks so much for reading--I'm glad it resonated for you!

Quite a bit this season we realize Dean's dissatisfaction with John. He would be a better "dad" to Ben than that. I like this fic alot.

I'm glad it worked for you! And I agree, over the past couple of seasons Dean has really come to a new awareness about what his father was like. Thanks so much for reading and commenting!
