Ok I loooooove this so much. I love that you set up this decade old frosty relationship with Rowena and Sam, and Sam so perfectly had this “interpretation” of the situation and then we find out that Rowena actually was lightly guilty. It’s so slick and gives a whole new interpretation to Rowena’s frostiness – like it wasn’t being affronted, it was guilt. Holy shit dude.
AGAIN, I feel like I’m watching a supernatural episode!!!! I feel like there’s going to be a big reveal where you work in television or worked on the show and then I’m gonna feel like an idiot.
I love the small moment of her taking the sip of wine and considering it “possible the worst red wine she’d ever tasted.” I also loved the sentiment of her “sneaking their way into her cold heart, making her yearn for redemption.” I just love the notion that the Winchesters are intrinsically good and make people WANT to be better people.
I am SUCH a sucker for moments when Michael is beating against the walls. Ugh. It’s like an immediate serotonin hit to my brain.
“Funny how he could be so boyishly embarrassed one minute and look so dangerously stoic the next.” Yes yes yes yes
I’m not sure if this was intentional, but I think it’s so cool how you almost like set up the dominos for the Sam-killing-Rowena prophecy to come true? I’d totally forgotten about that being a thing. But I think it’s really slick here. Not saying it’s going to happen – I just think the implication of A equals B is neat.
I don’t know why, but I love the sentiment that Dean spends his last days playing cards and swapping stories with a friend. It’s just a sweet moment.
Your Rowena magic use is so cool! And I love Dean’s and her defusal of the tension.
OH MY GOD WE’RE GETTING A GOOD BYE SCENE??? (even though Sam doesn’t know) OH MY GOD. I need to breathe deeply into my hands for a few moments. I thought Dean was just going to disappear without telling Sam! Oh my GOD the ANGST, the beautiful ANGST! Loved this line too: “Sam would be busy tearing up Texas, chasing his wild-goose of a phone signal.”
I literally am so thrilled with all the directions this fic could go from here and I don’t know which I’m more excited about.
