NOW I UNDERSTAND

Wow: silo. Massive spoilers for 9.23 – Do You Believe in Miracles?

Sam's big enough to admit his mistakes. Sam's POV.

Tag to Dean's death scene.

Disclaimer: I don't own them, this kind of thing wouldn't happen if I did.

Cradling Dean's broken, lifeless body against mine, I remember those furious words I'd spoken so long ago; words that prompted this miserable silo mentality we've both descended into.

I'd told Dean that I wouldn't help him if he died. He'd looked hurt; I'd felt justified.

But now I get it; I understand, and I desperately wish I could unsay those words.

A lifetime without Dean stretches before me and I can't face it. I want to die right now, right alongside him.

Gathering him closer, I want to occupy the same space; physics be damned.

I'll get him back.

Whatever it takes.

A/N: Sam may well get Dean back, but he should be careful what he wishes for ...
