They're not love, but they're still delicious.
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, god, the episode is making me cry already.
Oh, Dean.

Because books.
It's awful, in the best way. Wait till the end.

Happy Dean is the saddest thing ever.

Of course, Dean without Sam is even sadder.

JA played it so well. Dean's amazement at the perfect girlfriend, his own remote control, mowing his mom's lawn.
I thought they wrote it well, too, because it works on more than one level -- Dean being upset that he and Sam don't get along works perfectly on the emotional level, but on the story level it's that small bit of consciousness nagging him the same way the ghosts and the news stories do.
What's saddest to me is the picture Dean's subconscious paints of himself -- in this reality he's the one without the college education, the one who everything thinks has been drinking, the one who snaked Sam's girl and his ATM card or whatever. DEAN.

Thing is, although Dean's not drunk, he is drinking the entire time.
But even his perfect life, yeah, not perfect Dean.
But at least Sam gets in the car.

True.
What also hurts is how many people tell him to "get some rest." Dean's been a tired boy for a long, long time, with all that weight on his shoulders.

And he is a mechanic. Beer drinking, hot girlfriend having, mother loving (in a non-skeevy way), lawn mowing, mechanic.

This was just twelve kinds of beautiful. I don't even know where to start.
Oh, DEAN.
Oh, brotherly bond.
Oh, Mary Winchester.
Oh, DEAN.
Dean's self-esteem issues are still in full force. He fixes the one thing, his mother, but doesn't fix himself, and thusly his relationship with his brother is broken. He's a heel and a drinker, even though he snags a good woman.
Sam's regret that they didn't get along and gladness that the hunting had brought them together was definitely sniffworthy. The whole entreaties from the assembled for him to stay happy, even though it would really only be a few days--ah, love.
I just adored the episode.
