Thank you so much!

I had that kind of same sense, that there was room for this sequel. I was in class the day after posting the first part and I kept thinking "But skinny!Dean...and he still has the flu...and Sam still hasn't explained his horrible behavior..." and I just couldn't leave it alone. I'm glad the balance of angst and schmoop worked - It's such a delicate balance on the show of them caring for each other but still maintaining their macho posturing, as well as their living in each other's pockets but trying to have some level of separation.

Thank you again!

So happy to see you wrote more of this. This could be a whole long series as far as I'm concerned. I'd read every word.

That whole section about how Sam leaves but Dean is the one that always comes back, all boiling down to how as kids Dean told him if he got lost to just stay and wait for him - oh my heart. That is just BEAUTIFUL and it sums up the brothers perfectly.

Thanks so much! I guess I've been trying to figure that part out for a long time. Because it seems like no matter how many times Sam leaves him, Dean always brings Sam back, and you would think at some point he'd be too hurt to keep doing it, but he does it anyway.

Sad to say, I still want to write more of it but I think maybe I need to leave it here? I don't know what I could still say in this story that I haven't already, if that makes sense. But I'm already working on some new things, so hopefully that helps me put this one to bed.

Thanks again!

When Sam was about four, Dean told him that if he ever got lost, to just stay right where he was. Wait for me, he said. I’ll find you.

When Sam left for college, Dean came and got him. When Sam died, Dean brought him back. When Sam chose Ruby, Dean followed him. When Sam left for Stull Cemetery, Dean showed up to save him.

Absolute genius!

Thanks so much! Maybe it's just me, but I always feel like the boys are lost without each other, so it made sense to me that leaving Dean would mean being lost, and being lost means Dean to the rescue.

I'm glad it worked for you!
