I do like that one better than another one with a similar story line--of Ruby keeping Dean's body alive for the re-home. Bobby's really the gateway character for this scene. I think it has to be an outsider POV because there's no there there in Sam's head right now. I've seen a couple from the POV of the dad or the mom that were effective, but I think Bobby's the strongest way to get there.
And I love the last paragraph or so in this one.

I am SO carving out time to read the last five or so chapters this week (I am behind in all my, umm, non-Dark Angel reading--DO NOT JUDGE ME!!!).
I'm in no position to judge, since I still haven't read Big Pink's latest.
Yeah, but you're not reading 100k epic hetronormative gender essentialist OOC crapfests with dubious spelling just for a questionable OTP fix. So, you know. Umm.
You probably have a real excuse, you know?
Oh plei. I love you. I love you more when you can actually find good stories in all that dross.
It is HARD work, I tell you. I'm back doing the del.icio.us hunt now, for things I might have missed when I took a break from it last year. The bulk of activity is at the Pit, which means anything considered more "adult" is off in a disorganized elsewhere.
It's sad when the source is better than the fic, especially when you consider the source.
(I have a collection of Worst Of that I keep. I send links to things with the subject of Trainrec. The dross is not without its own sort of pleasure.)
And how can one subscribe to your newsletter?
begging and pleading.
Or maybe that was just me.
