Oh this was so good, so very very good. I have to say that the whole disjointed and weird style was AWESOME for this, because Sam would be a mess, so it was super awesome that everything was just all over the place in the fic too.
But see, neither of them are actually dead, this is practically HAPPY by my standards right right? XD
Thank you so much! I'm glad the style worked, because dlkjf I worry a lot when this style happens, as it is not my Specialty and I sometimes think it just makes things weird and pretentious and not functional. So I'm glad that didn't happen.
So whooooo likes ragged/confused/jumbled prose? RAISE HANDS.
Oo! Ooo! I do! I do! *flails*
Yes! And this is amazing! And no less than the level of awesome I've come to expect from you! And is pretty much exactly what I was looking for in terms of Sam's freakout and complete collapse. The desperateness of his horror, his immediate freefall. His being utterly without any connection to anything in the world (thinking he should call Bobby, only wait...). Everything is spot-on and note perfect. And I love so much his "What are you going to do now, Sam?"
The danger of his hallucinations was very palpable here. How threatening they really are, how close to the edge Sam could be. And his having nothing whatsoever to arrest his headlong plunge--all of it felt like a very realistic depiction of what true mental illness might be like, at least for some. The way Sam's world just suddenly makes no sense, and there's not a single point he can touch on to get his bearings.
Awesome. Really amazing. Thank you so so much for the fill. ♥
OH GOSH let me love you for this comment, it made me smile so much. And I'm glad the prose style worked for you, it is not my usual and slkjdf thank you so much, you are too kind by halfs.
This prompt grabbed me for all of the reasons you have articulated so well, and I'm glad I could reflect them back at you. You give the best prompts, you really do. I think I've actually written for a few of yours now, and they always seem to end up going good (awful?) places.
I loved the style here; the disconnected stream-of-consciousness thing works really well for Sam's state of mind. I kept thinking of a record skipping, as Sam keeps coming back to the same thoughts.
And then Dean's back, and it's okay, kind of, except Sam's reminded how fragile life is, and that's not okay at all.
Oh wait, no, sorry! It was all a terrible misunderstanding. Everything's fine, Sam.
...Sam?
(So callous and inappropriate, I know. S7, gen.)
