I've been waiting to read this story since I first watched the episode. Just plain freakin' brilliant. Thank you!

[spoons1899]

Thank you! I was hesitant to write it because there are so many codas out there, but I'm glad you liked this one!

It’s a pulse almost like a heartbeat, and Dean can see the futures flickering between each bloody beat. That whole paragraph is breathtaking. I love me some Mystery Spot angst, and this was a perfect coda to one of my favourite episodes.

This. Sometimes you hit this grove with your writing and my brain just *pings* because it is so right that it might as well be canon to me.

Open fingers, Sam is going to run away, back to a life that’s normal where brothers don’t abandon each other because they had to sell their soul in order to reverse a fatal stab wound that should never have happened. Closed fingers, Sam is going to stay right here and take down every damn demon or hell hound that comes Dean’s way, even if it means becoming a monster himself to do it.

*sigh*

God, I love your writing!

Thank you very much! The angst of Mystery Spot is so epic, I feel like I could write a dozen more of these.

I don't even have words anymore for how much I love your writing. *flails*

If I could have dreamed up the perfect coda to this ep, this would be it. Every word, every gesture, every thought in Dean's head, every single element of desperation in what Sam does and doesn't do...this is exactly what happened after the screen faded to black.

You're just freaking talented, is what it is and I'm SO HAPPY you're in this fandom. GUH. So, so good.

Oh my gosh, thank you so much. This comment makes me so happy, I want to save it and keep it forever. This particularly:
If I could have dreamed up the perfect coda to this ep, this would be it. because I've read lots of codas to episodes and thought "oh my god, this is IT" and it's so wonderful to hear that about my own story from someone!

This is so intense but also, I think, right on target in terms of what Sam would be like after seeing Dean die 100+ times, and then actually be dead for 6 months. I often wonder where Dean's soul was for that 6 months -- heaven or hell -- but of course he doesn't remember anything since the Trickster reversed the reality. Only Sam knows what went on.

[spoons1899]

Thank you! I hadn't thought about where Dean's soul was in that reality- that's an interesting thing to think about.

I thought I could read stories set after this episode... enough time has passed... but I still can't. Aaack! I still tear up so much that I can't keep reading!

[spoons1899]

Oh dear! There's snuggles and blanket sharing near the end, if that helps. Unfortunately not so much of a happy ending but… snuggles!
