Okay but no.

T__T

Because I'm PMSing and Show made me grumpy and MISERY LOVES COMPANY. And I thought Amb's drabbles were really powerful so...yeah?

(Play the song at the end of the fic, IT'S HAPPY-ISH, I SWEAR!)

I thought Amber freakin' broke me but I see that there's still more to shatter. Sam sitting shotgun.... Castiel's lies. I need to read fic about kittens now.

I had to purge, I'm so sorry! *notsorry* I dunno, I just had to get it out of my derned system. TIME FOR KITTENS!

Sobbing now, thank you very much...

quickreaver December 11 2014, 02:53:41 UTC

I'M SORRY I KNOW THIS WAS SO VERY VERY WRONG OF ME! *hugs*

OKAY. Y'all are determined to try and pull tears from my body. I WILL NOT GIVE IN. I REFUSE.

But really though. That was pulling, and wonderful, and heart-string pulling, exactly how I like my fic.

And I love that although I too felt rather "meh" about last night's epsiode--not the best, not the worst, that I love how everyone around here is taking it, and giving it life (or death, so to speak), and making it our own and meaningful.

That is the best part.

I completely agree! I felt 10.9 was kinda like a cake that didn't quite work. It had all the right ingredients to make a helluva dessert, but in the wrong quantity, in the wrong order. The oven was a little too cool and the pan, a little too small. Or something like that.

But yeah, it still had great ingredients, and we'll bake like mad with them. :)

Ah...shit. Sorry. Sobs. Really? I damn well hope there's a special 'get out of Hell' card for being lied to by an angel...

For all that 10.09 could've been better, it sure seems to have left us all with a bucket-load of feels...

quickreaver December 11 2014, 04:08:38 UTC

Yeah, there is at least that, huh? Feels are good!

I wouldn't have been compelled to create without having read Amb's drabbles first, though. They made me ponder: what would Sam have done? After trying his damnedest to save Dean and failing, left to grieve, would he keep hunting? Or would he hang it all up, thinking Dean had made it Upstairs, and decide to join him?

I think he would.

zara_zee December 11 2014, 04:32:11 UTC

Yes, Dean's letter stabbed me right in the heart too. And Sam would totally join Dean Upstairs, if he thought that's where he was. Why wouldn't he? That's where everyone he loves is. And by rights, he should be there too...all that 'unnatural' being brought back to life. I can totally see him rationalising it as 'the right thing to do'. Also... I think he's made it pretty clear lately that 'there ain't no me if there ain't no you' cuts both ways... :)

quickreaver December 11 2014, 06:27:39 UTC

Oh, man, YES, that letter! KILLED ME DEAD. So good.

It's gonna be a LOOOOOOOONG hiatus. It's long already. :P
