To Hell and Back
By Swellison
"Hot," Dean moaned, tossing his head restlessly. "Hellfire...burns..."
Sam stroked Dean's sweat-soaked forehead with a cool, damp washcloth, trying to reach his fever-ridden brother. "Dean?"
Glassy eyes stared at him, then Dean flinched. "Nooo... Y'can't be here, Sammy..."
"I was—for four months," Sam confessed brokenly. "Hell on Earth. Then you came back..."
Sam watched as Dean's gaze drifted from his face down to his own exposed, sweaty chest and his brother touched the amulet hesitatingly, as if afraid it would disappear on contact. "Sammy?"
"Fever, Dean. Singed by a fire demon, remember?"
"Fugly fire demon. Glad you wasted it."
