Loved this! You did a great job capturing the awkwardness of meeting a good friend from another time and place, when there are things that just can't be shared anymore. Your Sam is so right. Loved this line:

"... but more because the revelation forces him to rewrite all his memories from Stanford, memories that have remained frozen in his mind and are now alive and kicking again."

Really captured the feeling of retroactive history-writing; I could feel the memories shifting in Sam's mind.

And this was a sobering but accurate description of his time with Ruby:

"That his last real relationship was all blood drinking and furious self-destructive fucking..."

Anyway, nicely done. Thanks.

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! I have to admit this was written pretty quickly...

Your Sam is so right.

Hee, it makes me happy. Writing two Samless fics in the last months made me miss Sam... I'm glad to see that I haven't lost my Sam groove!

That was really sweet in a honest way. It can be strange meeting up with someone you haven't seen in awhile, but for Sam, whose world with Dean is not the normal world of Stanford, it would be akward to say the least. Beautiful job capturing emotion, subtly, thoughts, and melancholy.

Thanks for your kind words, I'm glad you liked it! I wrote that pretty quickly, but I did try to capture the mood induced by such a meeting. I'm happy you think I did a good job with it!

It would be so hard for Sam to see people from his past at Stanford. It's not like he can proclaim what he does, but he does make a difference and help people, and it's a shame he can't share that.

I really liked this.

Thank you for taking the time to read and comment! I've always been interested by the idea of Sam meeting someone from Stanford - roque_clasique's prompt gave me the occasion to finally write it! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

This was very well done! It's always lovely to see the brothers' life clashing with a 'normal' person life and I love that in the end, you did point out that Sam and Dean's life leaves nothing to be wanted when compared with some guy living the 'white-picket-fence' version of being happy.

"Maybe it’s Dean’s storytelling gift, the faces he makes, the broad gestures and the spark in his green eyes. Or maybe it’s time, soothing all the hurts."

Loved this little line. So simple and yet so true. Good story!

Yes, it's such an interesting theme - I'm glad this prompt gave me the occasion to write about it, and that you thought I did a good job with it.

Thank you for reading and commenting!

I really liked this view of the brother's interacting with Sam's past. Loved how it wasn't awful or hurtful or his friends looking down on Dean. Just a good buddy who really is happy to see you again. Loved the heart to heart at the end and Sam acknowledging the miracle that is having Dean by his side every day after everything they've been through. Just beautiful!

Thank you ^^

I've always liked the idea of Sam meeting an old friend years after. He's so different now that he was in Pilot - what constrast would it make! I'm glad I finally wrote something like that, and that you enjoyed it!
