They need to save Castiel's life in the morning, so they agree to get some sleep. They've got a solid four hours before the meet up, and Sam knows they can't fill anywhere near that much time with conversation. They've filled thirty years with the same long talk, and they're reaching the tail-end of their beleaguered sequels

It's 5:41, two minutes before Sam's alarm's supposed to go off. It's still dark, heavy curtains blocking out even the polluted glare of the city in the morning mist.

WOW, I love this so much. You put so much great characterization and meaning into a fic that only spans like 4 hours. It was a really cool choice to put it in a missing scene during 9x18, I hadn't even thought about the missing time there. I loved your Sam characterization, the image of him playing that breathing game and the purpose being to "feel invisible, and then disembodied. All-powerful." Ahh, that's so perfect. And of course Dean broke my heart too, I liked how from Sam's POV we only get a glimpse of what Dean's insomnia must be like but what we know is so painful. Thanks for such a great fill for my prompt!

I'm glad you enjoyed this! I wasn't really sure about it, especially for such a great prompt. (Though I realized after that Metatron probably meant 6pm [which, whyy?] because it gets dark rather suddenly at the end of the episode. Uh, oh well. XD Thank you for reading, and for hosting this meme~

Oh, this is really good. Especially this line; it just sums things up perfectly:
