A/N: This fic was inspired by mad_server, who, on International Read Aloud Day a few weeks ago, pointed out that we need more fic in which Sam reads to Dean. I wholeheartedly agreed, and somehow came up with this. I owe massive thanks to both mad_server and nwspaprtaxis who both gave incredibly helpful betas (a million French bizous, ladies! I finally found the mojo to edit this sucka!). All passages taken from Paul Auster's New York Trilogy. Which you should read, because it's good, but really don't have to in order to understand this fic.
SUMMARY: It's too hard for Dean to recount the awful details of his time in Hell. But now that Sam knows he remembers, he decides to look for answers in some less obvious places.
(Dean had lived a whole other terrible life and Sam hadn’t been there for any of it. He had his brother back, but all of the ways Sam didn’t understand him were underlined and bold-faced, a constant reminder of Sam’s failure to save the one person in the world who meant everything to him.)
