Oh....so much love and pain...... m. :/

[halfshellvenus]

Thank you. Oh, how I miss those earlier seasons!

aw, dean. *snif* (i love that at first he doesn't trust that he's been resurrected back into reality, but rather that he's still in hell.)

[halfshellvenus]

That made perfect sense to me, too. One of the cruelest tricks you could play on someone in Hell would be to plant false hope again and again.

Fortunately, the escape was actually true!

That last line? SO true. Lovely drabble :)

[halfshellvenus]

There was a lot of that vibe in S4, too-- that as awful as Dean's experience had been, he tried to hide that from Sam so that Sam would never doubt that Dean felt he'd made the right choice. Sniffle-- those were the days!

Thank you very much for the little trip back down memory lane, my dear Mme Venus; sentences of yours like
"For Sammy, I'd do it all again"
are still able to send shivers down my spine.

"Sam's death was still the worst Hell Dean had ever known."
- Yeah, can't let that happen again; right, big bro? ;)
*huggles*♥

It says so much about Dean that, even though he was in Hell and without Sam, it was still a more appealing choice than having Sam be dead because Dean had somehow failed to save him.

Only Dean would see it that way, but we can't help love that he does.

Oh, the (delicious but painful) hurt... loved it :) Perfection.

[halfshellvenus]

Thank you! This fandom so easily brings out that combination of delicious and painful. It's built into almost every episode!
