“Sam?”

He shifts.

“Sammy?”

It’s cold.

“How are you holding up?”

He turns his head, frowns.

Holding up?

“Sam.”

Something touches his shoulder and he shifts his weight to the side, turning his face in the direction of the voice. His eyes are closed and it’s dark.

When did he close his eyes?

“Sam.”

The voice belongs to his father, it’s closer now ( Read more... )

I love the moment when Sam thinks John sounds like Dean. It's such a small thing, but it's a lovely way to remind us that Sam loves both his father and brother dearly and would do anything for them. With all the stories out there about how much anger there was between them, it can be easy to forget the love Sam had for his dad. Beautiful piece!

Even looong before I switched from Sam to John as my favorite character on the show I have always been a 100% sure that Sam loved his Dad just as fiercely as he loves Dean, I never thought he didn't, he wouldn't have been that hurt by what he went through with John all those years if he never loved him. So that's never been much of a question for me. But you are so right about fandom, it somehow needs Sam and John to be at odds and I find that very sad. (And not to mention extremely boring if they are only fighting so that Dean can get between them and be the hero...) It's not what I get from watching Sam and John together, not at all. But, well, everyone's entitled to their own opinion, the only downside to that, for me, is that I find it really... challenging to find fic for me in which I actually get further than the first three paragraphs ( ... )

"there’s a soft chuckle against his ear and Dad sounds so much like Dean at that moment that Sam almost moves his head to check if they’ve somehow switched places."

I love, love, LOVE this line. I miss John.

Wonderful artwork, wonderful story. It pushed all my SPN fan-fic buttons.

Aww, thank you so much! You have no idea how much I miss John, too, they could have done so much with him still around... *sighs*

This is great. All of it coming from a barely coherent Sam too.
