Ohhhhhh what an awesome prompt and what a wonderful gift to come out of it! So good! “Oh God, is that what you’re saying? That you were just…that it was Chuck...that you never, we never..." What a perfectly horrifying thought, especially because like Dean said “how would you know?” — I’m glad that Sam does know, because he trusts what he feels, but in a way that is Faith and Choice, because feelings can be manipulated and how would you tell what might have been otherwise especially since that manipulation could have been there for years, from the start. But Sam Chooses to believe in him and Dean and what they have. When I first read that line I immediately wondered if Sam would spiral. He has been manipulated/had his reality messed with his whole life: Azazel and his demons, Djinn, curses, possessions, angels, the cage and hulicifer, Chuck. How could he ever possibly know what was real ever again. Eileen choose to run because she couldn’t know if her and sam was real. But it’s like Sam has just planted his flag and said ‘This is my reality, you, Dean’ and he will die on that hill no matter what. Dean is over there having an existential crises because reality could very well all be a simulation. And Sam is over here saying: then this is the reality I choose to live. Okay imma stop rambling now, you sent me down a deep rabbit hole of contemplating not only free will vs determination but also of Faith vs Delusions, and it’s a deep rabbit hole with lots of knotty rambling involved. Excellent work my friend, I love it 👍🏻😁 “You’re my partner, you’re my favorite person, you’re my other half. You drive me fucking crazy but you're it for me. It sounds stupid, but it’s literally true. Were you not listening when everyone from Ash to archangels to the Queen of Hell said it?” … [ ] … “You’re my soulmate, Dean. — and that, that is the place I choose as my happy place to plant my flag 😄🤗💛💛 Awesome story my friend, I hope your giftee loves it as much as I do. Happy Holidays and thank you for starting this one with a bang!
