It pleases very much! Love the asymmetry between their dreams and the way it meets the prompt. :)

I like this very, very much. I like the contrast in the dreams that seem real and those that don't, and how different that is for both John and Mary. I'm fascinated by Mary in those ten years, about her life as a child, and can only hope death and resurrection changed Samuel into the man we saw in season 6, and that he wasn't that man when he was really alive.

Anyway, this is just lovely.

Thank you! And yeah, there are so many stories to tell about Mary. She really is a fascinating character.

This is lovely and heartbreaking. I like the contrast between the two, the knowledge of what happened must have been so isolating for Mary.

Yeah. She couldn't share this secret with him, and so many others, that must have been so hard.

Thank you!

This is chilling and feels so right for both of them.

Very well done! Mary's dreams lead me to think that Sam's dreams didn't all come from demon blood.

John's dreams are sad - did he ever dream of Adam?

Thank you!! :) And as much as Heaven and Hell fucked with them, I'm fascinated by the idea that there was SOMETHING left behind.
