Not sure why you'd be unsatisfied with this - I think it's wonderful; “I speak Winchester,” he said, feeling an absurd amount of self-pity, “But I don't know if I speak Sam anymore." is excellent. Lots of very well-written angst!

I just get that way sometimes? But that's good to hear. And thank you! Angst is my favorite thing to write, alas. It's good to hear about the lines that work too.

Thanks for commenting!

I know you said you weren't satisfied with this but I have to say I'm not sure why.

I'm glad you picked out these lines! This comment is making me smile and I'm going to draw hearts around it. (Especially the L'Oreal line. I was concerned I was going to be the only one to giggle at that.)

I want things to go right agaaaain but then again it does produce such delicious angst. Can we have a balance maybe?

Thank you so much! I'm glad I could fulfill your prompt to your expectations! :)

Gorgeous! I can totally see a Sam, unable to deal with his guilt and his inability to atone for his mistakes, torturing himself in his dream. Loved it.
