Is this the end, end? I've enjoyed the entire journey, but this part was my favourite. The description of Sam's alcoholic behavior in the beginning rang very true for me and it was very sweet to see Dean taking care of his brother. I liked some of Dean's thoughts, especially when he wondered if Sam was able to stand up without leaning on the car for support. When Dean finally decided to take his brother to hospital, I was surprised, that really doesn't seem like a Winchester thing to do. But I enjoyed the nursing staff watching the brothers and appreciating everything Dean did for Sam. Great story! Too bad they still have to deal with all the Hell stuff even after the withdrawl is over.

I'm glad you enjoyed that part! It was a fun one to write and probably one of my favorites as well. It's not supposed to be the end yet, but it's probably the end of an arc (even though these are verses). As for Dean's decision to hand Sam's care to the professionals, I know it's not something that he likes to do, but I think he knows when it's out of his league. Besides, the fussing brother and nurses are kinda fun to write :)
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and leave such great feedback! I really appreciate that. Take care xo
