It wasn't his fault, so Dean's not mad at him (or at least knows that he SHOULDN'T be mad, and jesus Christ Sam why do we have to keep going through this I wish you were okay I just want this to be over why did you listen to ( Read more... )

For the moment, though, he just sits there, rubbing his thumb across Sam's palm, thinking about the two of them-two paper monsters in a world full of strings waiting to be cut. - This says it all! Great fic, thanks for sharing.

He remembers survival. And, despite everything, he recognises that in Sam as well.

^^ this! Great fic.

A-maz-ing. Every bit. I was about to go through and pull out parts I like the most, but if I did that, I'd just end up quoting THE ENTIRE THING.

I like how it's clearly NOT Sam's fault, and Sammy's reaction to it is perfect. It's also understandable that he does not want his bother to see him like that, so weak and desperate, even if it's not his fault.

Dean's analysis and observation and all his little asides in italics are fantastic. He remembers survival. And, despite everything, he recognises that in Sam as well. GUH! Perfect!!! The bit about the possibility of Sam mindlessly agreeing when he's in that state sent shivers down my spine. And Dean feeling a little touchy-feely--who could blame him? It's something real to ground himself as well.

the Panic Room's become a sort of Purgatory where they're trapped in a limbo of perpetual madness yes yes YES! That's it exactly.

This is SO good.

Wow, thank you so much! It was fun having to write Dean sitting through Sam's withdrawal with him--he could've used the experience, I think.

I'm glad you liked it; thank you again! :)
