OMG, I just want to hug Sam, okay? I'm gonna call my pillow 'Sam' and cuddle it now, hoping the real Sammy gets the message.
But really, heartbreaking. The title -- I've read about this thing on Facebook, in a page called 'Word Porn' and I can say this is real porn because this might have been my favourite word from everything I learned from that page. I knew what it meant when I saw your fic -- and that's what drew me in in the first place.
Your summary implied that the tattoo artist was an important character, and I wondered why, and where Sam came in, when Dean said that he was dead. I expected that Dean would meet him through the artist, or find out about hunters... I don't know. But when Sam mentioned that the hunters were trying to keep him away from everyone -- that's when I realised what was really going on. Or I can say, I guessed. I went back and read the physical descriptions, and the dialogue, and I realised how well it fit, and then you confirmed that it was, indeed Sam.
What happened after that broke my heart. There are a lot of fics there about other hunters dealing with Sam's demon blood thing. There's canon too. But I think this is what got me the most. Oh God. It broke my heart so completely. Sam's self-loathing might have stabbed me right through. The fact that he doesn't think he deserves his brother... I really, I don't know what to say. *cuddles Sam closer*
I just... please do a sequel? I'd love for Sam to understand what he is to Dean, I'd love to see some healing... but you probably won't, and I understand. But if you do more in this 'verse, I shall kiss your feet.
Lovely, lovely writing and characterisation. Very differently thought-out plot. I've got a lump in my throat, thanks to that wonderful writing. Thank you so very much for your fic. This is amazing. :) And if you don't mind, I'm off to cuddle Sam while I sleep now. :)
