Lovely. Even though season 1 seems like it was all so long ago, this is just brilliant and resonates as if it all happened yesterday. Poor Sam so caught up in his grief and Dean just doing what he can to keep his little brother going. Oh!Boys.

And this “She loved me! Who loves you, huh?”... Ouch, Sam!! I mean, I know he's lashing out blindly but it's still so true. This is what Dean craves and needs to verify his existence and yet he so rarely finds it. Or at least believes it wholeheartedly. Especially at this stage in their lives.

Gorgeously descriptive as well, though I agree with Carol - Dean's eating habits leave much to be desired! Lol.

I just found this! It's bittersweet...knowing what we know now. Sam lashing out at Dean...that hurt but it's so in character for Sam at that time. Saying "What am I supposed to do?" Love that, knowing Dean will utter the same thing in AHBL2. Loved the bits of banter and your excellent descriptive writing...just excellent story. Thanks for sharing!!

Hi,liked the story a lot. I found it by clicking on your ID in someone else's comment on someone else's story ... I've just been turned on to the TV show by my kid and now I'm addicted and up to Season 4 disc 2. Netflix takes its time getting the new one to you, so I've been finding fanfiction. Really enjoyed reading this one. Thanks very much.

You know, I just read this out of nostalgia - of wanting our season one boys back. It was a good choice.

But oddly enough, reading this now, almost eight years in - it still seems relevant.

“You…you move forward, Sam. You move forward because there’s no going back. She’s gone, and I wish I could make that different for you, but I can’t. You can’t. So you pick up - we pick up - and we fix what we can.” It’s bitter medicine, but truth always is. Dean just needs his brother to swallow. “She’s gone, Sam, but you’re still here. So am I.”

Still fits kinda doesn't it?

I think the writing on the show was really strong in seasons 1-3...even though there was the occasional dud, it seemed like the team was always about pushing the boys forward, teaching them lessons, building dimensions; this is what I want a return to.

If it's still valid today, it's to the credit of that first group of writers who cared so much (or at least ENOUGH) about the boys to make us care, too.

I'm crossing my fingers and toes for Wed. And for the whole season really. I need my boys back.

BTW. Re-reading your journal is too much fucking fun. Just read about Frosty. You know? You write one of the best Johns out there. I miss your John.

Well, who am I kidding I miss John. :(

Anytime you need a poke or a prod - let me know - otherwise I will just sit here and stalk your journal and tags under "fic"

This month through December, I'm sort of tied to several playwrighting projects/deadlines, but I might hit you up for prodding after that... I can no longer bear having Sharpness incomplete. It's two chapters short from being done - I need to bite the bullet and finish. There's a tiny part of me that doesn't want to, because it very well might be the last thing I ever write for fandom, but I really do want it done.
