My two favourite parts:

Dean's suddenly reminded what rock salt to the chest feels like.

the one he wore all last winter and that probably still smelled like him and woodsmoke and the apple cider he stole from a grocery and managed to spill all over himself when it was too hot.

The first because it's so painful and such a good description/method of description, and the second because, well, because.

Beautiful and heart-breaking and perfect ending.

Awwww. ♥

Thank you. :) I was originally going to stop the story with Sam leaving, but I just couldn't do it. I'm so glad you like it. ♥

oh, boys. this is so completely different from the war au it's like a different person wrote it. which is actually really impressive.

anyway. i love the tone - kind of quiet and disjointed, all these shortshort scenes - and he knows it isn't his but Sam doesn't and Dean can't think of a way to say it's not me that wouldn't come out harsh and twisted. Sam's eyes widen. He nods because it reads like sam knows dean's possessed and knows not to believe anything he says, and just... my god, these boys love each other. and the very last scene, sam holding on to dean on the bed, i love that. they're closer than brothers, you know?

[moveablehistory]

That really is a huge compliment, definitely. :D

I was trying awfully hard to have it come across how Sam really gets Dean, but he still screws it up - all bull-in-a-china-shop, you know? But I'm glad it worked. :D

Ah. Damn.
*clutches heart*
He's not sure how much time has passed, or how long he slept. Everything was still fuzzy from pain, and he wished Sam had better timing.

Ooh, you accept being 'abandoned' far too easily!
*hugs him*

Nice, hurty stuff.

[moveablehistory]

I always kind of figured Dean doesn't take Sam's presence here with him now for granted at all - like he believes Sam could leave literally any moment.

poor Dean. !

thank you! :D

I really loved this. You captured the cloudy, fearful confusion of delerium and the desperation and love just shine like a beacon right through it. Very delicately and excellently done.

[moveablehistory]

Thank you! I tried hard to balance it out - the blur of it, how Dean's horribly unsure - I'm glad you like it. ♥

Gorgeous!

[moveablehistory]

Thanks! I tried. :D
