Ohhh, so dark and enthralling! I loved the premise of removing the Mark with Sam, Lucifer's grace and demon blood, and it was especially poignant and powerful coming from Dean's POV where we can see his change in behaviour and emotions before and after the Mark is removed.

I really enjoyed how you mentioned the season 4 phone message, and seeing Dean take care of Sam during the withdrawal.

Thank you for sharing. Take care :)

Thanks!! The prompt was about the demon blood so I was trying to think of a good way to work it into the late-seasons plotlines. Plus the angel grace thing has always seemed super-duper creepy to me.

Glad you picked up the voicemail allusion and very glad that the shift in Dean's voice worked as it was something I was concerned about! Thanks for reading and for the comment!

{hugs this fic to my chest} Your MOC Dean is so dark; I adore him. And he realized how awful it was that he left Sam to detox alone! And you brought up the message!!! <3

wooooooooop this is the one i've been writing forEVER so sorry it took so long! and thanks for reading even if it is wincest (it's soft wincest i guess). I felt like canon MOC Dean SOMETIMES got this dark it just wasn't consistent - but when I started writing this we were still mid-S10 and I thought they might go more down the brother-murdering type of road they seemed to lay out in 10x14. And yes, very belated season 4 fix its (or not actually fixits) ftw!!!

I loved this idea for dealing with the Mark, but I also really liked how you dealt with the aftermath, all the way down to

And Dean has to find a way to stop searching for some imaginary little brother who’s maybe never been there, and to try to find out how to be big enough and good enough for the man who is.

So very good.

Thanks! Yeah, I wanted the cure to come in the middle of the story because I was so interested in the shift from MOC!Dean back to normal Dean and how it would feel (from his perspective) as well as how they might start to get back to normal after all the awful things that had happened over the last few years. And yeah I get frustrated sometimes with how Dean can try to squash Sam into a box that doesn't really fit any more. He doesn't always do it but when he's angry or upset it's a tendency that does tend to come out.

I love all the thought you've put into getting both boy's perspectives, even if this was told from Dean's point of view. Lots of good angst and logical (for SPN world) solutions to problems and lovely caretaking, too. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! I'm a total Sam girl so Sam's perspective is usually at the heart of my writing, even if I take a Dean way around to get at it. I'm very glad you enjoyed both the hurt and the comfort, and that the whole thing felt logical. Thank YOU for reading and commenting!
