oh_sam h/c challenge prompt. Sorry it's taken me so freaking long to finish this. :(

Summary: Dean strikes a bargain with Death in exchange for something Sam lost... but not without complications. Sam's visions return, hurting him more than before, and his mental state quickly declines. Knowing it's his fault Sam is suffering, Dean has to figure out a way to keep his brother together.
