Reccer's notes:When I finished reading this the first time I just sat there staring at my computer and went OMG...This would be a fantastic way to resolve where Dean is headed with the Mark of Cain-and boy, after 9.22 this is certainly one way it could go down!
[Short excerpt]Dean doesn’t remember how he got here. He doesn’t know long he’s been down here, how long he’s been holding his breath. He should be struggling by now, probably. Feeling his lungs burn, his muscles seize, his head fill up with panic and with the urge to say ‘screw it’ to the danger and swim desperately for the surface.
He doesn’t. He doesn’t feel any of that-and anyway, there’s something else he has to do. He knows it in the same way he knows it’s not safe up there on the surface. It’s just that he can’t remember what the something else is.
