Beautifully done!

very nice, well-written and heartbreaking, really enjoyed it.

Good conversation between the two. It seemed real & true to the show, not fake.  Good writing skills. Great paragraph, really captured Dean & his strong emotions for Sam & his fears: Dean let a small, bitter smile pass over his face. He understood that. Of course he did. It was the reason he had made that deal in the first place. Not because it was his job. Not even because he loved his brother more that he had ever loved or ever would love another person. He had done it because he, Dean Winchester, was afraid of being alone. Because he did not want to face living in a world that didn’t have Sam in it. Sam gave him a reason, a purpose. Sam was his anchor. He was the only one who had ever loved him unconditionally, or at least the only one who had ever made that clear to him. So really, Sam was right.
Really like Dean's revelation of the consequences of his actions on Sam & how he had made the deal for himself & not for Sam & he had convinced himself.  Nice rapport between the brothers.

Excellent! There have been a LOT of stories written about AHBL but this one was different. It was real and spoke of the fine line between self-less and self-fish and you pulled it off beautifully. I love how the entire gamit of Sam's emotions play out from the punch to the hug and the way Dean finally faces the reality of the consequences of his actions as well as his "true" motives.

seriously you just ripped my heart out of my chest and stomped on it.  That was absolutely amazing and completely heartbreaking! 

I enjoyed this. I haven't read many tags to AHBL2 -- one of those weird avoidance things I do sometimes. But I liked this. It just felt... right, somehow.

Thanks for submitting.
