Not that I didn't already tell you this ..... BUT ANYWAY.... I re-read the story and got all choked up again. I'll be over in that corner clutching my heart and sobbing.
Fantastic job on this! It's really poignant and gut-wrenching. The scene with Bobby really gets to me. And Sam being so... helpless in trying to help. Guh...
The way you write Dean here is absolutely amazing. It's all the little details and the emotion and you've described each 'state', I guess, so well that I can almost feel what Dean is feeling. That first section just kills me. I can't even imagine living like that. And then that pervasive self-loathing all throughout the last section - I can see this being true in canon all too easily. I adore that last line; awesome imagery.
And Sam is so close to knowing what's going on, and you can tell he's worried even though Dean can't. Also Bobby and Cas. And I have always wanted someone to write canon!Dean with a mood disorder, so I kind of love you right now.
Aw, thank you so much! I've seen BP2 for Dean mentioned in several metas and episode reactions and stuff, but yeah, something about a whole fic with mood-disorder!Dean just made me feel...things. :)
Yaaay. Thank you so much. I was worried the depression part might be a bit over the top. 'Let me just lie here at home for a few days, I'm sure people will be happier without me, anyway' kind of depression, I get, but it's pretty boring in fic, so I pretty much threw the book at poor Dean.

I totally do this every time when Sam tries to help Dean. I dunno, I just like his hang-wringing, stuttering, sucks at helping Sammy-ness.
