This was absolutely awesome. I'll never get tired of reading all the possible scenarios after 5x04 (I'm fact i'm a little obsessed with it) and this one is simply fascinating. Poor Sam is so broken, so bitter, so resigned to think he's nothing but a burden and Dean has totally deserted him... I can only imagine his pain at discovering Dean didn't even answer the hospital calls. I'm really glad Dean found him and managed to explain what happened, but it's obvious they still have a long way to go because the breach between them is still there and they have a lot to talk about to regain their trust in each other. This is only the beginning, but at least they are together again, which it's all that really matters in the end.

You know, this story looks like the perfect setting for a domestic fic, since now that Sam is blind they have to settle down (I can't help thinking that if Dean takes off even ifit's only to keep fighting, it will utterly destroy Sam forever). But the apocalypse is still going on and Lucifer is still out there, so I don't really know how they are going to swing it. I'd love to read a sequel to see how things develop from here!

Just beautiful. Thanks for another amazing story!

Wow, thank you!

I agree that it would be an interesting start to a curtain-fic, but with Lucifer and the Apocalypse still hanging over their heads I don't know if Dean would be able to stay. Then again, if he goes, I definitely agree with you that it would drive Sam right over the edge.

No idea if I'll ever get around to a sequel. This was just shamelessly indulgent id-fic for myself that I wrote as a "break" from the stuff I'm writing for Big Bangs. But it would be interesting.
