Excellent coda.
That last sentence is especially lovely. All they really need is each other.

Thank you <3 (After all that theorizing, I needed some fic in my life, haha.)

Beautiful. I think you captured both brother's feeling at the end of this episode wonderfully. I think Dean felt that as long as Sam was burdened by Lucifer hallucinations that while Sam was out, he wasn't "out." I love that you put it that way.

"The hospital isn’t far from the highway and it’s not long before they’re pulling onto a stretch of four lane asphalt that disappears into the horizon like a promise.

Sam’s breathing has evened out in the gentle embrace of a mercifully dreamless sleep before Dean has gotten the car up to speed, and the sounds of soft rock follow them as they limp, always forward and always together, into the setting sun."

This was my favorite. The words, the images, the phrasing captured them so well.

Great job.

Aw, thanks for the lovely comment, bb! So glad you liked it. After all the trauma of this episode, I felt the need to write something rather serene for the boys, haha.

You're welcome.

I can't believe I managed a 6 page review out of it. So much.

And yes, they needed a serene moment indeed.

Yeah, I managed both this tag and a short meta theory post and an idea for another meta. Inspiring episode!
