This is gorgeous and heart breaking. It captures the fact that Sam is always straddling two worlds and doesn't entirely feel comfortable in either. Really lovely lines, too many to quote them all like: Sam is half afraid once he gets inside it he’ll disappear and this day will be nothing more than a dream and the lingering taste of sunlight, and He imagines her bleached and sucked dry like the bodies they dig from their graves. Someone who’s already been lost by the time they are found.

Sad and beautiful!

Lyrical, heart-breaking, insightful, gorgeous writing.

“I’m just really tired,” Sam says. The cold autumn wind whistles through the cracks in the walls, touching his skin and hair like kisses from the dead.

Ah, man. That really just...breaks my heart. Poor Sam. Everything he wants is just beyond this thin line he just cannot - for now - cross, and it's tearing him apart.
*hugs him*

I love that despite his misery and longing, he still sees the positive in his own life. In what they do, in Dean and his dad, in other hunters. But, still.....
*sniffle*

Oh this was so beautiful and haunting and lyrical. I could feel the warmth of her family and the lack in his own life. The description when Sam got home after the first night at Caitlyn's:

"There’s no lights on inside and nothing but the field stretching behind it, wheat stalks all bent away like they’re striving for something better."

This was so gripping and such a contrast from how you described Caty's home.

You captured beautifully Sam's angst and melancholy. And setting this in the fall was picture perfect. A wonderful look at pre-series Sam.

I love pre-series Sam and all the things he wanted but still has such a fierce love and adoration for his brother. Even now, I see some of this in him even though he's changed a lot. Could be I'm a little biased when it comes to everything Sam:)

Lovely story. Bittersweet.
