Here at the End of All Things

Title: Here at the End of All Things
Prompt: From a prompt by vail_kagami at sharp_teeth, here. Dean's constant drinking comes back to bite him in the ass when he does something he actually has good cause to feel guilty about for once: he drives under the influence and very nearly runs over a child. But the child is lucky: Sam pushed him/her out of the way.

OWWWWWW.

[ratherastory]

Yeah. *rubs back of neck* Sorry. :(

Awwwwwwww...perfectly filled! Love this bit: "Saying 'I told you so' is more your thing than mine," Sam says, and it's true. "I gave it up for Lent, anyway...

[ratherastory]

Thank you! ♥

Tragic, yet beautiful as always. I thought you did a pretty good job with ghostly!Sam. Very season 7 Sam mind frame.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be crying into a bottle of bourbon.

It was kind of tricky, maintaining the tension and having them interact without giving away the "punchline" too soon. Or, at least, making sure it was still kind of ambiguous until the end anyway.

Glad you liked it! Try not to drink *too* much. This is a cautionary tale, after all. ;)

This is so painful, I can't even.

Nice icon. Very Winchester. ;)

I couldn't see another way for that particular prompt to turn out, unfortunately. It's not the kind of thing that lends itself to happy endings.

Once again because it`s you I find myself reading something I NEVER read.
I really kind of glad I did even though it broke my heart. Beautifully done.

I'm glad you liked it in spite of the fact that I killed Sam. :/

[jesseofthenorth]

Well sometimes the story just goes it's own way and we just have to let it. Still a damned good read.

[ratherastory]

Yeah, God knows I flipped it over and over in my mind and the only way it worked was if Sam was dead. :(
