Rather a Story

I gave myself a birthday present of producing plotless and badly-written angst.

Title: Practical Application
Summary: Everything's still wrong. Dean pulls a drunken confession out of Sam, but he's pretty sure he doesn't know how to fix it. No plot, just angst.
Spoilers: General spoilers for all of Season 5.
Word Count: 2,573
Disclaimer: Kripke is a selfish, selfish man who won't let me keep his boys chained up in my basement anymore.
Neurotic Author's Note: I had a sudden flash in my head of Sam telling Dean "I was testing a theory," and this came out of it, and I couldn't not write it.
Neurotic Author's Note 2: I was re-watching Season 5 (after re-watching all of the show, because I'm totally not obsessed), and related to A/N 1, I started wondering about that scene in which Lucifer tells Sam that if he kills himself he'll just bring him right back. It's Sam: what are the odds he's just going to take that lying down?
Neurotic Author's Note 3: I don't really like how this turned out, but I'm posting it anyway. No beta, no revision, nothing. I just kind of slapped it together because it's my birthday and I'm feeling self-indulgent. So there. If you do think it sucks (and it might, I am way too biased to think straight, and maybe I should have had some alcohol to go with Sam's), please be nice about it. :P
Neurotic Author's Note 4: (Christ, is there a rule about how many of these I'm allowed to write?) I am apparently allergic to happy endings, too. Sorry.
Neurotic Author's Note 5: I have since reconciled myself to this piece. I'm not sure why I didn't like it before. *shrug*
