*Working with demons is a family tradition. Dad did it for you, you did it for me - and now I'm going to do it for you."*

That's an awfully good point. Yet Sam is the one who gets all the guff over it. Nice insights.

lol, I totally get what you are saying, I mean, I kind of get it because before all those little mishaps could have lead to Sam dying, and Sam pretty much was going to die unless he destroyed the foot but after Bella shot Sam, they destroyed the foot so Sam wasn't exactly in mortal danger anymore, but still, I would have liked to have seen a little more concern over the fact that Sam had been shot, lol

It's pretty funny that the whole ruby thing really did happen. Mostly in S4 though

Aww... poor Sammy. I also thought that some more attention should be paid to Sam getting shot. And with Dean depending on him to fix the deal he's go so much weighing on him. Very nice little oneshot.

"and in 44 weeks you end up dead. And if you end up dead, Dean, I swear to the God you don't believe in that I will too."

So eerily in chracter... Very nice missing scene.

Perfect tag on to what was sorely missing at the end of the episode. Dean's lack of concern was a little puzzling, his baby brother, the one he had sworn all his life to protect was bleeding out and he seemed more concerned at losing his lotto tickets! Sam's reaction was spot on, majorily hurting after a day from hell and then doubly hurt by his brother's runaway mouth. If you want to add another chapter or ten to this I would be squeeing with delight to read more!

"but you know I'd die for you, little brother. Hell, I'm going to prove it soon!"

I had to laugh at this line... the way Dean's been acting with the constant reminders of his only having one year left I wouldn't have been surprised to hear that one come out of his mouth. lol

Loved the whole thing but particularly the end. Great job.

This was just great! Perfect tag to Black Rock and a good lead in to the argument they had about Ruby in the begining of Bedtime Stories. Looking forward to reading more of your work. Thanks.

That is indeed a nice tag to Bad Day at Black Rock!

You Rock!

Thanks for writing this!

Thank you! I was looking for a post-ep for BDABR- it just begged for some hurt/comfort at the end.

""Which pisses you off more, Dean? The fact that she shot me, or the fact that she walked off with your ill-gotten gains?"- My thoughts exactly Sam! I couldn't believe Dean just let her get away with it.

""Both my knees are skinned, there's a second-degree burn on my right arm, I got kidnapped and beat to shit, and some bitch just shot me in the shoulder. I am definitely not all right." Gee, when you put it THAT way. LOL, poor Sam. *hugs him*

Great job, just enough humor, serious talk and angst, all rolled up in one.

Good Job i like it!

Awesome! Interested in doing a chapter 2? I'd love to read about Dean taking care of Sam when they reach the hotel :)

This was great. I thought the end of the episode was a little odd... why was Sam carrying the shovel? It didn't look like Dean was carrying anything, so why is his injured, bleeding, brother carrying the darn shovel? And I know the boys are used to being beat-up, injured and shot, but they were really cavelier about this gun-shot.

Still, overall, I liked the episode and this story put a nice finish to it.

Great job. I like how Dean's bringing up the deal made Sam throw up - and when Dean was talking about how he didn't really believe it, because Sammy was going to get him out of it, I was thumping my head on my desk. Boys.

Awesome. Catch ya on the flip side.
