Really gorgeous.I really felt Sam's pain here, and this paragraph:

Be as still and as silent as he can possibly be, it’ll be better. If he can slow his heart, calm his breathing, try to visualize the pain shrinking smaller and smaller and smaller until it‘s nothing. Gone. Free. If he can just. If he can just stop, just for a little while.

If he can just.

Just sleep. POOR SAM.

Sam thinks, I should’ve been there, and it isn’t until Dean groans and mutters, “Ah, Christ, not now,” that he knows he said it out loud. Loved this line.

“This is my favorite part.” HEE. And the detail of watching Friends reruns - they're on all the flippin time. V. nice!

You can feel their fear underneath, but also the weight of inevitabilty here. They do what they must.

Sam wants to say, “I’m fine, Dean, I’m just tired. Just tired,” but Dean knows all his feints, so he presses his forehead against the Impala’s window and doesn’t say a damn thing.

There's a lot of that in this fic, the simple fact that they know each other too well and are bound to each other by that knowledge.

They do what they must.

EXACTLY.

Thanks for reading!

God, this was brilliant. So much texture, and so much... cruelty. Yeah. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, poppet!

Oh, ow. Poor Sam. This is so vivid and gorgeous; I can feel just that tiny bit of despair from Sam, and that grim determination and resignation in Dean. Really lovely.
