This was very well done.  Your descriptions of disorientation and confusion drew me right into Sam's head and fight to come back.  When he realizes that Dean and home are synonymous it's a beautiful moment and I couldn't help but smile.

Thanks for writing!

Shannon has good taste and said it was about Sammy so of course I had to come over, then Jenn added to my intrigue :P

The warm breath caresses you, makes you feel it, makes you shiver, you breathe it in, involuntarily - even I shivered then!

The smell of gel on spiked hair, the smell of leather that lingers on a T-shirt, that hasn’t been washed in a while. You carry those scents with you wherever you go…home. They are what accompany you, day and night, day after day after day. You remember them, you know them and you know to whom they belong to…home.  --- are you serious? *died*

It’s so hard to obey that panic driven voice, but you do. You would do anything that voice would tell you to do. Without a second thought.

“Dean?” almost shyly the word escapes your mouth, but you say it, you say the word you wanted to say all along. You have no idea why ‘home’ kept replacing it

Beautiful insight, I appreciate the sense of smell and touch, very descriptive and poetic. Epic writing!!!

*goes in favourites* Thanks for sharing.

This is one of the most truthful insights into Sam.  Dean really is Sam's home.

I liked this, very much.  I like second person, but it has to be done just so.  You pulled it off brilliantly.

I would take out bits that stood out to me, but to be completely honest, the whole thing was lovely and I would quote the whole thing back to you!

Thanks for sharing this, it was a great read.  Warmed my heart, definitely.

Hi!!

Thank you so very much!!!

Yeah, I really think that Sam will always be Dean's home and vice versa and that they will always struggle to find a way to come home one way or another....they are all they have! Just one another and yeah...it's nice to be home!

To be honest...I didn't know that this was second person...because I'm not a native English speaker...oops...I hope second person is allowed! idk :) oops...so thank you for saying that I pulled it off!

awwww, 's okay....I'm just so happy that you liked it, and that I could make you get yourself lost in Sam for the minutes it took you to read this!

hugs,

Totally amazing!  I'm so impressed!  Give this story a blue ribbon---it's spectacular! 

"...you say the word you wanted to say all along. You have no idea why ‘home’ kept replacing it."  How sweet!  It really shows how deeply Sam cares for his brother.

"You believe that. Because your brother said it, because he said it with that voice, because he tightened his grip on you, the warmth seeping into your chilled bones…you have no choice but to believe him."  Another fantastic example of the trust between the brothers.  You can tell Sam appreciates the security and stability Dean gives him.

So...where's the next story?  You have readers here who are waiting.
