Sequel to Onyx Moonbeam's "Just When He'd Thought They Were Clear."

--

A shapeshifter in California. Mimicking Jess. Sam witnessing her death. Again.

Press Rewind. Hit play.

Sam crumbling. Drowning. While Dean watches.

Except. This time Sam is no longer a stranger, separated by time and distance and broken trust. This time Dean is ready to catch him as he falls. To shore up his foundations even as he is pounded by the sea, then to keep his head above water.

With confident hands. With conviction that Sam will cling back just as tight. With the knowledge that pain is vulnerable to love and time and Dean is made of both.

"Sam."
