Dean is good with that. It wasn’t for nothing he worked in construction the year Sam was in Hell. If anyone knows how to keep a wall in place, it’s Dean.

Spot on and a great observation.

He’ll just be sitting here by the side of Sammy’s bed, ready and willing to fill in the cracks."

What an ending...

You just about broke me with this, the mixture of despair stuffed down by false hope, because that is, after all, how Dean exists in relation to his brother...

These boys are going to kill us, aren't they? Have you seen the sneak peeK? Don't know how I can wait until Friday!

Thanks so much for reading and commenting - means a lot.

Home, for the two of them, has always been about forward motion, polished chrome, an awesome paint job, and an engine that can haul ass for a thousand miles in any direction. Beautfiul - and so true. Loved this, hon. You did a great job with resouled Sam and his sleeping issues. I can't wait to see where Show goes with it all now.

I seriously cannot wait. If you don't watch in real time (or relatively), all I can say is you have far more self control than I ever will. :)

Thank you so much, hon, for your beta job and your reassurance. Can't imagine posting a story without your go-ahead. So very much appreciated!

Oh, poor Dean--but he's not gonna give up, either. This is lovely.

Thank you so much. I love Dean and his resilient ways so much, it's not even funny. Thank you for reading and commenting!

What a beautiful way to end this.

Great piece all around.

Thank you so much - I'm just thrilled you enjoyed it and the ending worked for you. It gave me angst so it's especially good to know.
