Thanks for posting this heartbreaking story. I have to admit, this line in particular,

Trying to talk to Dean about it was a mistake and he fucking should have known better. He deserved the black eye just for being stupid.

sadly, I can identify with and it made me want to cry.

You have such a way with horror, bb.

Reading this was a little like getting punched in the stomach. But in a good way :)

Just heartbreaking and sad and brutal, so well done.

Thank you so much!

Wow. Scary and dark and painful. Last line is killer. Second to last section doubly killer. Very well done. I'm shivering even with my furnace blasting.

Thank you! I'm happy to know it had an effect on you!

You're easily among the top writers in this fandom, and I wish more people got to read your stories. They're raw and twisted and painful, but in the best possible way. The scenarios you put the boys in are far from becoming reality, and yet you still manage to capture the spirit of their relationship perfectly. HBO should hire you as a writer. ;D

Sam deluding himself into thinking that alcoholic!Dean is just a monster he needs to somehow purge from his brother's body is heartbreaking, and Dean knowing subconsciously what he's doing to his brother, so he consciously drinks it all away is just so in-character. This is just perfect writing.

Your story will stay and haunt me for awhile. Amazing job ♥

Thank you for the very flattering comment! I wish HBO would hire me as a writer, too - then I would have a read job. :P

Their life is a mess. They need a hug, and Dean needs fucking therapy. (So does Sam, actually.)
