OOh that is so sad. My heart breaks for Sam. I am a little confused though - who saved Sam then? I thought it was Dean (well first I thought it was Cas but then Cas said it wasn't - and Sam is so confused...) but it wasn't Dean's voice Sam had heard. Not that it really matters, I still feel bad for the kid. I really wish he would have let Dean apologize at least - after all the pain and hurt, it would have been nice. Instead the poor kid, just absolved it because he thinks he isn't worth an apology. Poor Sam. Sniff. Sniff.
Thank you! My heart breaks for him too. :( Cas did speak, and he came to get Sam, but he found him after he had been pulled out. As for who pulled Sam out - that's a mystery!
That's true; Sam should give himself more credit. Though in all fairness, it wasn't Dean's fault, but they both have issues with absolving their guilt. Poor boys!
I like how you equated him becoming so cold as becoming one with it. *But you're really just (a fucking burden, you know that)?* that was a gut punch! aw, I hate that he feels he can't be forgiven. Nicely done:)
You look at them, both full of guilt and regret and pain, like you. You wish you could apologize for your failures, your mistakes, everything you've ever done to them. For a split second in this motel room, you envy Dean and Castiel. Because they're able to be absolved for what they do or don't do. They're able to ask for forgiveness and get something besides too little, too late back.
I love this part. It felt very true to Sam, very much like something he would think and feel. Wonderful job!
I truly love this, all the feeling and doubt Sam holds inside. And that he wanted to hold Dean's amulet. Nice touch. And please don't tell me it was Luficer that pulled Sam out of the river.
Which reminds me, I loved the way the river was portrayed, almost as a living thing, angry when Sam was pulled from it. Brilliant writing, that.
Aw, thank you! I'm so happy you like my writing. :) I won't reveal too much, because I might (might!) do a fic about the backstory of this one. But no, it wasn't Lucifer! I figure he'd probably only save Sam after he died, and (un)fortunately he never died in this story - he just got really close.
