I don't know why I ♥ good curtain!fic like your so much-- but I do. It makes me cry and yet my heart swells and I feel happy and satisfied at the end.

In particular, I love how in-character they are, when the circumstances are so different from what we see on TV. Dean protective, Sam struggling to be independent....

Thank you for indulging us!

ETA: Sam's memory issues reminds me of my mom in her nursing home - no memory even of things we just talked about 5 minutes ago. Your fic both hurt and soothed!
