Oh my gosh! This was amazing. I loved the spare lines, the way it's so boldly factual, and how that underlines the humor and the angst, both. The javelin in Dean's chest was a lovely image. And I loved the idea that Sam tries to off himself, and then only belatedly thinks of the effect.

wonderful fic!

Ha, I'm glad you liked the javelin. I wanted something that was outlandish but not ridiculous, if you know what I mean? And I'm glad you found a touch of humor in among the piles of angst. ;)

You know, it's interesting now you mention it, about the style. Spare lines, drawing the silhouette of things...I just went back and reread this and it's much more like most of the stuff I wrote in BtVS, which was always a lot shorter and less dialogue-heavy than most of my (and others') SPN/J2 stuff. This fic, I started writing and just kept on going until it ended (minor edits aside), which is the way I used to do things but again is quite different from the way I've written most of my SPN fics; I've tended to jump around a lot more. /introspection

Interesting! I wonder what that means? Maybe more free time? Or more of a feel for canon? A sense of it as something familiar?

Oh HECK... I mean, I love all Mystery-spot stuff because it has so much potential, but this is punch in the gut. So much Winchester in there, I can't even...

So hurty, and wonderful. I love it. That desperate hope for the one chance in 4. Perfect.

Thank you! I have to believe Sam's hope is justified. :)
