Perfect coda to Faith.

Very nice.

And...this is THE missing scene to my favorite episode that I've been hungering to read, right here. You know, I don't cry -- ever -- maybe the occasional sappy commercial here and there, but not fanfic -- and this got my eyes really stinging. How lonely Dean is, how much I understand that Sam was killing himself looking for a cure, but Dean was ALONE, and a hospital is a terrible, terrible place to be alone. I...know, I work in one and I've been a patient there, too, and spent a lot of time alone. And it just -- sucks out loud, and I wasn't DYING. But I was on a floor where people were, and I just. Yeah. DEAN. Oh dear sweet heroic boy.

You just want to cuddle him and tell him it's OK - our poor woobie. I had the nurses be as supportive as they could, but in the end it *does* all come down to how well you can get through it all by yourself. There's so much of the sad little boy still in Dean - I kind of hope Kripke lets him get out alive (at the end of the series) and emotionally whole.

Guess I can't hit much higher than "perfect"! :) Thanks!

Totally in character and awesome!

"Awesome" makes me giggle, because when I was in the hospital myself, the nurses told me I was "awesome" (got out of bed asap and was doing laps around the ward). I'm glad the story follows suit!

Oh, that's just gorgeous. So sad, but perfect. I'm here by janissa11's rec.

[ficwriter1966]

I think that's Dean..."sad, but perfect."

Thanks for the comments!
