This is such an interesting verse. And this story is so poignant.

[ratherastory]

Thank you. :)

It's an interesting, if somewhat depressing, concept to explore. Glad you're enjoying it!

Dean's right, it won't change anything to know what year it is, to know that the gaping void in his life is getting bigger and bigger with every passing day. It won't help to worry about the day when Dean won't be there anymore, and he won't even remember why not.

OMg, this was so sad! I got so caught up in the little details of Sam coping minute-to-minute that I didn't even think of the big picture of how his condition would affect him until the end. It was all shmoopy and sort of happy aside from evol!Jill and then WHAM with the sadness. Still enjoyed the read, though. ;)

Aw, thank you! Yeah, it's a story full of ups-and-downs. You actually caught on to how Sam copes with things: getting caught up in the minute-to-minute of it all until every so often the big picture whacks him over the head.

Glad you liked it!

I continue to admire the way you think about the details - what Sam has to do or have to keep him and their lives on an even keel. Things like buying a particular message pad that will prompt Sam to ask the questions necessary on the phone. Glad you've got your writing muse back!

I was so glad to see ths. I feel terrible for Sam who feels so inadequate, but as usual, just keeps on going.

So glad you feel like writing again. I've missed you.

[ratherastory]

Aw, thank you! I'm glad to be writing again too. :)

[ratherastory]

Thank you very much. I do tend to think about the details, it's what fascinates me about these situations. Not the illness/injury itself, but how people cope with it. Or don't cope, as the case may be.

I'm so pleased that your muse has returned!

I fell in love with the first fic and I'm so happy that you've revisited it with this time stamp. I think seeing this from Sam's perspective really empathizes the enormity of what Sam has to handle because now we're just as in the dark as Sam is; where's Dean? Who called and why? What year is it? Has Dean had his pills? Etc etc

I adored how fevered Dean 'snuggled' Sam and how he still teases the hell out of Sam. I really dug that.

Now you've got your groove on, I'm really excited to see some more new work from you. Woohoo! Take care, ;)

[ratherastory]

Thank you so much! I'm excited to be writing again too. :)

I commented over at AO3 -- but I loved this fic so much I had to comment in two places! SO glad you're writing again!

You are too good to me. <3
