Brilliantly done. Painful and real and so sadly true to where the boys are, now. Thank you for sharing your wonderful work!

Thank you for your lovely feedback. I'm glad you liked this!

Nobody does it better, baby. We see the Sam and Dean from "before" and the way they are now. We see them both, here. Changed, different, harder, but underneath...maybe still the same. Maybe something left of the brothers they once were. The people they were to each other. Shared childhood memories. The horror of losing Sam in Cold Oak...

And hypovolemic shock? Icing on the Hurt!Sam cake.

Beautiful job, Sunny. You really got it going. Still and always. And I still remember how to beta...if you dare.

XXO,

Aw, thanks, hon. I'm really glad you liked this and it worked for you. Writing it was tricky, and I'm glad you feel I got the right balance.

And I'd LOVE to have you beta for me. I'd have asked for this one, but I was too darn impatient to wait to post since I'd taken longer to write it than I'd hoped. But for the next? Consider yourself hired!

I'm "catching up" on Supernatural fic. Like your SG1 stories, this is fabulous, chilling yet compassionate. You always find the human connection in your stories and this one is no exception. Great job! ~Lynne

Thank you so much, Lynne. Finding that human connection is probably my favorite part of writing fic. So glad you liked this.

He’d’ve been liability
Yeeesh. Forget Sammy going Darkside, him going Winchester Sr. is bad enough.

No kidding! Glad you liked this. Sorry for the oh-so-late reply!
