WOW. Read it, loved it, will actually tell you why later, but man. You're kind of amazing.

Hee. Ruby is Sam's drag queen boyfriend. That's awesome. Also, I was kind of hoping for the glass shattering, building rattling Cas first, but I guess he wouldn't do that with Sam in the room.

Also: “It's later. So I came back.” Oh, Cas. Really like the way you have him here. You've got the cluelessness, and the angel jerkiness, and then “I sincerely hope you feel better, Sam.” Because that's a perfectly normal thing to say to someone you've just been snubbing the past ten minutes, what are you talking about?

I like that you differentiate between the meds and the demon blood; how Dean compares it to John's alcohol abuse. And how he's not sure what to do about it. Really cool. :3

thank you!

I really love Cas. And Ruby. And everyone. So I'm psyched to get to play with them. and really hoping I do not screw this up too badly.

Oh, boys. That's how you do it right.

As usual you pulled it off awesomely <3 This, Sam raising Dean FROM PERDITION and Dean telling Sam about hell kind of despite himself and being freaked out and understanding of Sam's new drinking habit... yeah, this fits this 'verse better than canon season four, definitely. I'm kind of curious about whether you're going to change Ruby's role here to something more benign, because she doesn't feel much like canon Ruby IMO. And I mean that in a good way. I actually like her here, which is pretty novel for me

Was Castiel trying to get in with Dean with that 'I sincerely hope you feel better' comment? It doesn't seem like something Cas would do - or rather, I'm not sure he'd understan that he might be able to get in with Dean by being politer to Sam.

Nah, I think he was just being nice. he doesn't have any ill will towards sam, he just needs dean to know that he's drinking demon blood and that heaven's not a fan. that line was really me being like I AM NOT MAKING CAS A BAD GUY, I PROMISE.

Humm... wonder how much worse the detox would be this time, for both of them. I imagine Dean might blame himself if he didn't try to stop the blood drinking... maybe he'd be with Sam in the room while he detoxed? I can't really see him staying outside while his kid screamed himself hoarse behind an iron door.

He's going to be in there. and it's going to be ugly. addiction is stilllll not pretty in Sammyverse.

thank you a zillion times for reading, and thanks for finding a typo, I'll grab it.

oh my god, THANK YOU. re. cas--I have no fucking idea what I'm doing, so it's awesome that you liked him, thank you.

SAM'S ADDICTED AND IT SCARED THE CRAP OUTTA ME. Sam is soooo addicted, and it is not going to be pretty. addict!Sam is not perfect. Dean's going to have to figure that out. Just because he wants to stop doesn't mean he can.

I WANT IT TO BE ENOUGH TO CHANGE HER MIND ABOUT STARTING THE APOCALYPSE. Trying to figure out what to do with her. I'm of many minds.

I really cannot get enough of how much the boys love each other in this verse. It's the best thing ever. is what I'm here for :)

SO GLAD YOU LIKED IT, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
