Mm, I love the dizzy moment where purgatory and Bobby's cottage blur together, and Sam's frustration at knowing what to do to bring Dean back but not being able to do it yet, and the bonus fever!
This is brilliant. I love how Sam's been slowly but surely preparing for this moment for so long, how he's taken care of the house and the car, as if to prepare it for Dean's return. And I love the way the two realities bleed together like something out of Alice in Wonderland or Pan's Labyrinth. Brilliant imagery there.
And the scene where Sam lays Dean in the bath is simply touching. These lines especially: And fuck if that little accomplishment doesn't almost make him cry. He feels like putting Dean in the tub, with the little piece of lavender soap sitting on the edge and leaving purple marking, makes it more permanent somehow. Like the mundane act of bathing is the final signal that the when came and went and it's all all right.

My sincere thanks for a seriously quality fill!
