Very cool. I would think Sam would be fluent in enochian, but have supressed the memory. I also like the idea that Lucifer is real. Great writing, pacing, characterization too.

Thanks for reading! I'm rather fond of the idea of Sam knowing Enochian as well. It's one of the things on the show that I really hope becomes canon one day.

Thank you very much for reviewing! I'm very flattered that you liked my interpretation of Sam. I don't write from his POV nearly as often as I should.

I love the points about Hallucifer you brought up:
Sam's Lucifer is just a twisted manifestation of Sam's own self-hatred, Stockholm syndrome, repressed thoughts, and other assorted baggage (and Sam realizes this).
Lucifer is for-real Tyler Durden in that sometimes, Sam can't tell if he's the actor or the observer.
I hope we see these expressed in canon more, because they're awesome and scary (as here).

Loved the car scene (with the subtle hinting as to who was really doing what), the checking-in-to-see Cas bit ("I’d recommend that you gentlemen give him at least a week before you try to interrogate him . . ." "When would we be able to just make sure that he’s all right?"), the marvelously tense bedside scene with Bobby and Sam running interference, Dean and Cas's partial reconciliation, and the note of hope at the end.

Sam understanding Enochian has been bouncing around for a while; it makes perfect sense, even though we've never seen evidence (yet).

Yay for instalment II!

Thank you for this lovely review! I agree with you about Sam's hallucinations--I really hope that Show decides to delve more into them. The ones that we've seen were fascinating, and I have high hopes that we'll get more of that later on.

I also agree that Sam speaking Enochian makes sense. It's been my head-canon for quite some time, and I really want it to become *actual* canon.

This verse you've created is everything I wanted after the finale and never got, and so I am forever and ever in love with it. The way you stay so amazingly true to the characters while giving them a voice we don't get to see in canon is simply perfect. Your Sam-voice is really, really awesome. Just. Hearts in my eyes. And the whole concept of Sam acting out his visions and understanding Enochian is really, really awesome and actually really believable. Excellence! ♥

Any chance of more in this world?

Thank you very much for reading! I'm so glad that you're fond of this, and of my Sam voice--I'm never really certain how he should sound, so I'm happy that you think it's good :D

Yes, there definitely will be more in this world. I'm not certain when the next part will be posted, but hopefully it won't be too long a wait.
