Oh, wow! This is awesome!

I love that the story starts out humorous but is pretty angsty in the end. :)

I just wish that we get to know if Sam is cured or not.

Thank you for this fic! :)

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

As if he gets cured, you can decide for yourself, I made quite a few scenarios possible, mainly because prompter wanted angst, but just ending it totally hopeless would have made me so, so sad (I'm more of a schmoop person). Basically, this is my compromise ;)

Holy crap, that ending! Oh, Sammy, it's so tragic that apparently the only way he can have contentment is to forget who he is.

XD, I'm so happy everyone was suprised by the ending ^^.

Well, it is up to debate if that wasn't just the deity getting her wires crossed, but with all the shit that has gone down in his life, I do think that Sam will never be the most balanced person.

thank you so much for reading!

This was fabulous! Quietly horrifying but with a small bit of hope at the end. Except, what if they change him back and he's all zombie!zen!Sam? /considers, shudders

Really well done, the build, the premise, the emotional resonance, the writing.

*crosses fingers that LJ won't eat this again*

Thank you!

I love that you noticed that zombie!zen!Sam (which is a wonderful way to describe him *gg*) is a valid possibilty in how it could play out, it is probably even the one I would have gone with, if I had the stomach to end it on a totally angsty, horrible note. (I don't, which is why you all get the ambigious ending^^)

thank you for putting the extra effort in commenting even while LJ had its melt down ;)

That was a hell of a creepy ending! (Because I'm bad, I believe Sam can't be fixed. ;-D)

I tried to make it as creepy as possible, because it is a very horrifying thought.
