Great,great job! I loved! Poor Sammy!

"Sam's heart was pounding and his head hurt…wait…strike that…his head was pounding and his heart hurt."

Love this sentence.

As always, there' wasn't enough brotherly lovin' for me at the end of this episode.

Thanks for rectifying. :)

Those boys are hurting in their own ways from Bobby's death, Sam right now has that and the bite mark to deal with which he isn't doing so good with.

That is one thing that will never change with Dean, keeping an eye out for his younger brother.

What a great oneshot! You're such an awesome writer! You write the Winchesters so well. Dean is such a trooper. It's very unhealthy sometimes how he pushes his own feelings away for Sam, but we love him for it. He's dependable that way. & LOL THE COMMENTS. They're so funny. & true. I could totally see that. I hope you keep writing fics for Supernatural because you're very talented at it & we'd all miss you. Thanks for continuing to post. It really adds to the eps. *squees*

My phone is acting funny and apparently doesn't want me to review so I gotta make this quick but man, I gotta tell you, this was incredible! I love love love your writing! You have those boys down perfectly. I know Dean is so hopeless and grief stricken right now but something tells me that if he has to really take care of Sam, his sense of purpose will come back full force. I'm not sure that's a good thing for Dean but we all know that's just the way he is. This was a perfect example. And OMG, I LOVED the brotherly banter at the end. Soooo awesome. I giggled. A lot. Haha I look forward to many many more of your tags and stories. Thank you so much for this. Incredible writing, my dear. *hugs*

Your note said this was tag for the last episode and I'll admit as I read the memories at the beginning, I thought it was Dean's memories, not Sam.

The final scene we saw of Dean trying to smile, yet wanting to cry, my thought... he was allowing himself to remember moments with Bobby.

You wrote a wonderful story. I love the memories of Bobby that Sam reviewed while dreaming.

I felt so bad for Sam and very, very grossed out by the gas station restroom. If only it could be that easy for Sam (or Dean) to get rid of the pain and hurt over losing Bobby. 'Everything he'd just drank pouring right back out of him - years of sick and hurt and hell and pain.'

Sam kept thinking that it was the emotional pain that was making him sick. While I'm sure that didn't help, I kept thinking his symptoms were also indications of blood loss and infection.

I liked Dean's speech and determination that together the brothers would get through whatever was thrown at them. "The only way we win… even if we lose… is not to give up the fight."

It would have been nice to have seen a scene where Dean patched Sam up on the show. Though, I know it is just me, I thought Dean overdid the 'sweetheart/princess' comments just a bit in your story. I had trouble picturing Dean talking like that. (Sorry...) Otherwise I loved the final scene betwen the brothers.

Thanks for sharing another story with us. :)

I enjoyed reading it.

Until next time, take care.

I love you.

Yeah ok I'm a girl and don't swing that way. But that was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw this alert :-)

Thanks. Loved it!

Like Sparkiebunny, I read this while listening to 'Dear Mr Fantasy', not that I needed to cuz the fic was just so brilliant. So sad, so sweet & yet humour was thrown in. Loved the girly jokes that were thrown around at the end.

Such a great fic ;)

Really nice tie together of Bobby's death and the bite. I was looking for some h/c from the attack on Sam and this was just what I needed.

I'm sorry I'm so behind on your other stories - I promise to get caught up soon! They're always such a pleasure to read; it's just finding the time.

keep writing - you do us all a service by sending out your stories!

:D

My eyes always light up when I see you having a new story. :) And for a reason cause that was great. Just the bit brotherly love that I missed at the end of the episode. And Lucifer is always a must, especially if Sam is as vulnerable as here. It's sad and amazing at the same time how Dean tries to follow Frank's advice. Cause that forced smile at the end of last ep was just so heart-breaking. But despite the heavy subject you still got me to laugh - just have to say "Why do I always get to be the princess?" :D Thanks for this wonderful tag, loved it!

Aww. I thought the bromos were a little thin on the ground in this ep (and there were so many golden opportunities for the writers to slip them in!) so this hit the spot perfectly! Sam had been chewed on enough and lost enough blood that he must have been feeling pretty crappy - and you did such an awesome job with that. I loved how you mixed up his feelings about Bobby, and the Lucifer hallucinations, and his feeling sick, all together so the poor thing just felt overwhelmed... and then Dean swooped in and saved the day like the awesome big bro he is :-D

How fitting, read this while listening to "Dear Mr. Fantasy"...wonderful song, spectacular fic, awesome combo! :)

This story was heartbreaking, but hopeful, emotional, but not TOO too emotional (that's our boys for ya). In short, Beautifully believable. Loved it!

Fave parts:

"It was a cereal box of a room – without the prize inside."

...GENIUS line! So clever adn funny, love the wit in the midst of the sadness. Very SPN, very Karen, very fantastic!

"Sam shut the water off with trembling fingers and slowly raised his head to peer into the grimy mirror. The cracked glass split his face in half. Piece – piece. He'd never be whole again."

...GUH. This line, so poignantly sad, what an image. Stunning.

"The only way we win… even if we lose… is not to give up the fight."

...Truer words neer spoken, and an extraordinarily Dean thing to say. Love the moral of it, the meaning behind it.

Another winner here, Karen, thank you for writing! :)

Excellent story.

Loved how "snarky" Dean was in this one with all his little comments after the Gas Stagtion attendant basically accused him and Sam of making out in the bathroom. His little comments were hilarious and obviously kept Sam going and got the youngest Winchester out of the funk that he had settled into upon entering the small bathroom!

Dean's right though, as long as they push on and fight for the good, then they will never lose!

You certainly blew me away once again. It might have been short, but you packed a lot of emotions into this short piece. Loved you showed Sam's tortured mind combined with his grief over loosing Bobby. It brought tears to my eyes and I just wanted to scream. I could so picture Sam in front of me and I wish we would get the opportunity to see Jared drive a script like this home for us. He would be so awesome. No matter what, you certainly brought it to live for me. Thanks for this. Hugs, Vonnie
