I read this about a week ago but on mobile so that's the reason for the delay in my actually coming to leave a comment - this was great, just as good as the first part which I read and enjoyed when you first posted it. I loved how you had Dean beginning to cave in to the Mark - beginning to feel dependent on it in a way which I feel kinda fits with what Sam was saying in 10x10, about the fact that part of Dean's conquering the Mark has to come from Dean's own self-belief and intent. I loved how Sam thought on his feet and came up with a plan to save them and I loved how dramatic that solution was (HURT SAM FOR LYFE Y'ALL); it made my stomach drop (I LOVED IT). In fact you could have PERMANENTLY injured Sam and I'd have probably liked it even better but I think that says more about my sadism than it does about your fic...!!!! Off to rec on my Tumblr now x

This is epic! I want it to really end like this!!! Fantastic story! You had me so scared and I couldn't see how this could end without death, but you did it!

Thank you!

I just read the whole set and my heart was pounding throughout! You have captured both Demon!Dean and Mark!Dean so terrifying well--I held my breath wondering if the end was going to kill me...very thankful you managed to come up with a happy-for-Winchesters solution!
