Summary: Basically picked up where "
Reverse Engineering" left off, but Cas never comes for Sam.
Neurotic author's notes: This isn't really fic so much as scenes I wrote to make myself happy during finals week that became something akin to a fic. Please ignore all the timey-wimey issues and implications regarding Sam and Sammy coexisting, 2012!Dean, etc., etc. This is sort of just mindless self-indulgence (hence the slight woobiefication of Dean, for which I apologize on bended knee).
Also: The competetive exclusion principle states that two species competing for the same resources cannot coexist if other ecological factors are constant. I'm a nerdy, nerdy nerd. Cut text is from Mitch Albom. (God, remember The Five People You Meet in Heaven? Somebody should do a Supernatural/Five People You Meet in Heaven crossover of some kind.)
“All parents damage their children. It cannot be helped. Youth, like pristine glass, absorbs the prints of its handlers. Some parents smudge, others crack, a few shatter childhoods completely into jagged little pieces, beyond repair.”
