But he looks good drenched in water! I'm conflicted.
Thank you so much for reading and commenting.

"He looks utterly exhausted: a little bruised, and layers-dirty where his skin sticks out from that huge, discolored sweatshirt. His tousled hair is a perfect web to catch all the grime along the path of slaughter, proper for a grieving Winchester."

Fabulous passage!

I'm glad you think it worked.
Thank you for your kind comment!

You know what my favorite thing about this little fic is? It's how much you managed to say about Sam in 814 words. I gotta say, it's a mighty neat trick.
I didn't say anything about Ruby before and her deliberate beauty in a trimmed all over flesh-dress deserves its own plate of candies. Hanging the mistletoe? That demonic lady will stop at nothing!

Oh, I'm so glad you enjoyed the characterization because, in all fairness, I didn't pay much attention to that. It was more like "hey, a romantic trap of mistletoe! Brought to you by demon! That's sufficiently ridiculous."
But it's also truth that I Know What You Did Last Summer is one of my favorite episodes. There is so much to read into the characters and their interactions, and I like to try.
Thank you so, so much for your help and this kind comment!
