So hurty yet hopeful. Thank you.

[sandymg]

You're welcome and thanks for reading! My first SPN fic in a while. In honor of today being the anniversary of the show's first U.S. airing. (Well, at least I read that somewhere.)

This, exactly.

Thanks!

I love h/c stories… needed to read one real bad today, so you don’t know how excited I was when I opened my f-list and saw your post. And then I read, and oh, you did not disappoint.

Your words made me feel their hurt and Dean’s need to want it all to be gone, to have never happened. And when he tells Sam that he tried his best to do as he’d asked, well, just put me back to every time that Dean’s always thought his best was shy of good enough.

I love these two lines so much:

Sometimes Sam talks to him even though he doesn’t believe Dean is there. Dean feels a little odd those times, like he’s reading Sam’s private journal.

And this… so achy and beautiful:

A hand grips his arm so tightly that it’ll bruise. Another in the collection of blue finger-shapes along his forearm. That match the huge one wrapped around his heart.

To me, this is so very much Dean, needing to say or do something to make it better, offering up all that he has and more:

And that’s another lie in a long line of lies. But he doesn’t have anything else he can

Thanks hon! I haven't written the brothers in so long I was a little nervous. But I read somewhere that today was the anniversary of the Show's first U.S. airing and well, I wanted to share something.

all Dean wants is a single quiet day. Where none of this happened.

That's definitely the sucker punch line so to speak. It's the one that's going to stick with me.

Nicely done as always. Season 6 is such good fodder for angst! Really the whole dang show is. lol

[sandymg]

Thanks! Not sure where all this angst came from. All I watched so far on the S6 DVDs is the gag reel :D

Thanks fo reading!

This is perfect, hon. Just the right mix of pain and determination, not overstated or dramatized but just as it is. Thanks for sharing it with us.

*hugs boys*

Thanks. I'm anxious for the Show's return. Miss it.
