There is a beast and there is its prey-no one will tell you which you are.

That captures Sam perfectly, thank you. :)

Thank you!

Wow. Visceral and raw and so very, very true. (Which is absolutely heartbreaking).

[faege]

Thank you!

Spectacular. I love it.

You are not dead. You are not alive.

You do not have a body. You are pulled apart.

You are Samuel Winchester. You are the Boy King.

I adore that Sam is to Boy King what life is to death. How they're opposites. How far apart they are. How they get closer over time.

I'm not gonna lie, I actually love the idea of Sam as Boy King. Heck, I just like the phrase Boy King.

How far apart they are. How they get closer over time.
That is exactly why I love Sam--he is dark as Hell and he fights against it with all he's worth, and it's that perpetual struggle that makes me love him. I don't think he's ever rested in his life and it's that kind of long-term strength (even more so than his "I'm going to save you people" actions) that makes him heroic. Because he's never left the fight, not really.

And I'll get off my soapbox now.... *sheepish*

Thanks for your lovely comment! I always enjoy reading what you have to say. ;D
