Title: Everything Flows, Nothing Remains
Fandom: Supernatural
Prompt: At ohsam, summarized by me as Dean's dead! Oh wait.
Summary: “It would have been almost instant,” the man was saying, dry, almost mechanical, with an attempt at sympathy sprinkled on top. “There would likely have been no pain.”

Oh gosh. Thank you so much! I'm delighted you've been enjoying them, and pleased you decided to de-lurk. ♥

It almost has a happy ending! Who are you and what have you done with minviendha?

But there was plenty of angst to get there. I love the mixture of the ordinary denial, this-can't-have-happened that anyone goes through if they get that phone call, the special resonance that it has for Sam after having actually experienced Dean's deaths, and, on top of that, the fracture post-Wall reality. And I love Dean, joking about ugly palms. Especially when we know canon Dean is walking the edge of suicidal, having him say he's not going anywhere means a lot.

I don't know, but if you figure it out be sure to let me know. >>

Thank you! And you do it again; say perfectly concisely what I use upwards of 1000 words rambling around. I love it. (And thank you for pulling out specific moments - that's always fun for me to hear.)

And yeah, ugh, this prompt struck me as...pretty terrifyingly plausible. It doesn't take much.

Well you've got confused over-whelmed Sam down to perfection!
Excellent job!

[minviendha]

Thank you! Writing crazy is apparently my favorite thing to do of late. /guiltface

Good lord don't be guilty! I have really been enjoying the shift in your fic despite the fact that I loved it fine before.

Guh! Loved this! Loved how the reader was right there in Sam's mind and didn't know what was real either!

[minviendha]

Heee, thank you so much! It's been a while since I played with this style, I think, so I'm glad it worked out.

This piece was just wonderful. I can imagine that this would be exactly how Sam would react if his stone number one were to be taken away, or if he believed it were.

Loved it!

God yes. I just. Cannot see that in any way going well, which is why this prompt grabbed me so much. ALL THE PAIN OF CHARACTER DEATH with bonus resolution. Thank you for commenting!
