That was excellent. Lovely, emotional and evocative angst.

Thank you for posting it.

Oh God, this hurts. Very well written though. Fucked up, but very expressive as well.

He lacks the ability to belong.

This hurts more than it should. *Cradles heart in broken pieces*

Thank you so much for sharing ;)

Heh, yes, "fucked up" is certainly one way to describe this. ;)

Thank you very much for reading. :)

Ow.

This so dark and painful, and it makes me hurt for both boys. For Sam, who made a huge sacrifice for Dean only to have things end the way they did, and for Dean, who wants to make amends but really can’t.

Oh, boys.

Favorite lines:

When he opens the book, its pages fall open automatically to the first book of Samuel.

Ooh, interesting.

“Congratulations,” Ruth sneers. “You just sent your brother to Hell for good.”

*whimpers*

Dean lays Sam down on the couch, and Sam’s head, heavy, bobs against Dean’s arm as he eases him onto the cushions.

Ow. This detail hurts.

Sam looks at Dean curiously. His head is cocked at an unnatural angle, and what skin remains is gray and spotty. There’s mud smeared on his face and falling from his hair when he moves. Around his joints, bones are visible, and a black tar oozes from beneath his yellowed fingernails and around his eyes.

Eew! Great, creepy description.

It chuckles, a sloppy wet sound from deep in its throat.

Eew! Again with the creepy. *shudders*

Dean falls to his knees

*nods* Yeah, it's about--more or less--how Dean can't control things (fate, perhaps) as much as he thinks he can or would like to. There are just some things to be accepted and he really only dug himself deeper through it all. But. That's just me getting overthinky about the whole thing. ;)

Thank you very much for reading and leaving such lovely feedback. I really appreciate it. :)
