He came and went night and day and sometimes for nights and days, unless Charlie was there.

Love how you phrased that. And love Dean’s utter devotion to his daughter (not that I’d expect anything less from him.)

A skeletal hand lay just a foot from his door, outstretched toward the door itself as if asking for help. Scraps of tendon barely held some of the phalanges together, and there were dozens of tiny bones arranged with care. The attached arm had been placed to give the rest of the skeleton an attitude of desperation, of reaching out one final time and hoping someone would come.

Eew, eew, eew! Marvelously creepy description.

She reminded him that he was taken no matter how many times he reminded her he had been divorced for six years, and then she wouldn’t elaborate. She just kept giving him that nutty stare chicks often gave, the one that said you know what I’m talking about even when he didn’t. It was often followed by the one that said well if you don’t know, I’m not going to tell you! and it was just crazy.

LOL at the whole Men Are From Mars, Women are From Venus moment.

“If you’re in danger, so are we,” Sam said, voice suddenly calm, and that was much worse than the rage; Sam had descended all the way to dangerous that quickly. “If anything happens to you, Dean, it will kill us all.”

*gulps* Powerful dialogue here.

“You wouldn’t do that to Charlie.”

“But I’d do it for Charlie,” Dean said.

I love how Dean twists Sam’s statement around just enough to make his point. Oh, Dean.

people who were not an instant from choking with terror because they couldn’t find someone they couldn’t reasonably go on without.

Oh, Sam.

Not the first time he’d been left tied up and naked, but the least fun, hands down.

LOL!

She burst into tears. “You’re scaring me,” she sobbed. “Sam I want my daddy!”

He did shake her then, never feeling the tears on his own face, his desperation winning over his self loathing. “Then find him!” he said, not shouting but close, as close as he’d ever been with her or his own girls.

This just breaks my heart. *hugs them*

It was a scalpel. Dean realized then what he was in for. It was going to put him on.

Ack! *covers eyes* This is not happening, this is not happening …

The blade was so sharp that it sliced through the restraints with barely any pressure. Sam caught Dean against him and then struggled not to slip in his brother’s blood.

*whimpers* My poor boys!

When it was silent again, she lifted her head.

She was going to be in trouble over the windows, she just knew it.

I love this, because it’s so little-kid to think about something like that in this moment.

It was not waiting for them in the garage, or in the driveway when they pulled out. Sarah was almost disappointed. She would have enjoyed running it down.

I love Sarah. :)

“Somebody clocked you, though,” he said finally, hoarse. He didn’t even try and move, because he could feel every inch of where he’d been laid bare to bone. “Sam get drunk and smack you around?”

*g* Of course Dean would wake up and joke around. *hugs him*

“Sam,” Dean said softly, voice underscored with a growl of rage, “I love you. But when I get out of here, I’m going to fuck you up.”

Yeah, of course Dean would be pissed. Poor Sam was in such a tough spot with asking Charlie to find Dean.

“Please don’t be mad at Sam,” she said. “Please. I knew I could find you. Me and Sam, we need you more than anybody, ever.”

Such a good girl. *pets her*

“I’m sorry,” Sam whispered. “Dean - “

“Dean’s not here right now,” Dean said. “Please leave a message.”

*g*

“Til death do you part,” Sam said.

Dean gave him a sour glare. “Death doesn’t seem to do much for ending anything, if you haven’t noticed,” he said.

Sam laughed.

Great ending. It’s good to see Dean and Dani reunited. I didn’t know if you’d actually go there, but I’m glad you did, because as much as part of me thinks these boys can’t have a happy ending, I want them to have one, KWIM?

Thanks for a great read!
