My thoughts: oh boy, my favorite part was Sam just breaking down in dean's arms. Fantastic descriptions of pain and the kind of relieved, healing affection Dean's capable of giving. Also Dean picking Sam up and carrying him like a baby YAAASSSSS!!!
Category: Dean/Sam
The Worst Part by ithinktoomuch4438. Rated NC-17, Dean/Sam, 2k words. Summary: Come was still drying in his jeans.That was the worst part.

my thoughts: Toni Bevell drugged Sam into hallucinatory sex (which resulted in real ejaculation) to have him spill secrets during their pillow talk after. Super fucked up. Oh my heart. Sam's wounds were healed so quickly but the trauma remains. The author did an incredible job describing Sam keeping it together until finally the bedroom scene where Dean and him can finally talk and Sam can cry and Dean can give him hugs and kisses and affirmations that it wasn't his fault. 😭😭😭🥰🥰🥰
Almost rosy by shiftylinguini. Teen+, Sam/Dean, 5k words. Summary: Dean used to do this for Sam, when he was small and Dad was gone. When no one else was there. When their mom was in the ground instead of down the hall, and Sam had Dean and Dean had―memories, of someone doing this for him. Maybe. It's all shaky before the fire. Maybe he just made that bit up.Or, in the aftermath of Mary coming back, Dean takes stock of how they're doing.

My thoughts: Oh my gosh I really loved this. Fantastic prose from Dean's perspective - that awesome play between comedic and worried/loving - and then the way the author described how they were together as Dean washed Sam's hair 😭😭😭 honestly, so so good.
