I kept waiting for the reveal where she finds out that it wasn't Sam's fault, but it makes so much sense that she wouldn't and it's so heart-wrenching. Beautiful writing, thank you for sharing.
Y'see, when I was writing it, a reveal like that never even crossed my mind. I was always convinced that she would think the boys did it. It certainly gets me thinking, though--would something supernatural come after Mrs. Moore? Would Sam&Dean save her, only for Sam to realize afterwards who she was? How would she react? Fascinating!
She hopes it hurt like hell for him, that he suffered like she suffered, like her daughter suffered.
eek. She doesn't know the half of it, but I definitely can't condemn her. Man, this makes me want her to know the truth so much, but I don't know if that would be more comfort to her than what she thinks the ending was.
Yes, exactly. I actually think that thinking someone you liked murdered your child--while horrifying and earth-shattering--is infinitely better than learning the truth.
"Oh, no, Mrs. Moore. I didn't murder Jess. She was filleted and immolated because a demon was torturing me and severing all of my ties to normal life so that I would become the leader of an army of psychics bent on bringing about the apocalypse."
Personally, I'd rather believe in evil people than in unstoppable evil demons and monsters. And it's sickening, but that's the choice you have in the world of Supernatural.
Anyway, thank you so much for reading! I'm glad you liked!
You know, I've often wondered why, in all that happened, Sam never seemed to end up accused of murdering Jessica. Or, for that matter, that their father was never accused of murdering Mary. Maybe there wasn't enough left of the bodies for the autopsy to pick up on anything but... I don't know.
Anyway, this was very well written. The idea was very original and executed well. I kept wanting Sam to reach out, for her to somehow find out that it wasn't him because it's so painful, but of course that wasn't going to happen.

I liked that you didn't go the easy way showing Jess' mom the truth, as much as it makes me sad, your choice feels more realistic.
