            It isn’t just blood that binds them. Time, too, and gunpowder. Salt and leather, a road that never ends and memories that hover behind them, around them, in them. Fire. Bone, grit, vomit, and a deep, abiding ache.

            But not just blood. Even from the beginning, it wasn’t just blood.

            They were woven together intricately, with thread so fine as to be invisible. It linked them from across a continent, through time and mist. The thread is in their muscle and tissue, in their hearts and souls—and can never be unwoven. 

            The road they walk is hard, full of thorns and detours, full of pain and fear—but they do not walk alone. Never alone. 

            It watches them, traces their steps in sulfur and flame, and waits. They will come to It one day, unable to stay away. They will come together, aching and frightened, seeking answers. And It will give them answers to questions they have not even thought to ask. It will make them Its, in both body and soul—

            The day of reckoning, of fruition—of fire and blood and death. So gorgeous that day will be, when all Its plans unfold, the strands finally entwined.

I like this. I like the inevitability of it all, that you can pack so much into so little.

Thank you!

Ooh. You know how much I love darkfic. But more than that, I love that the boys are connected on such a deep level, beyond this life. *desperately resists coming up with another plot bunny, or at least, vows to keep it to oneself*

(You should try writing some of these wolves you keep tossing my way!)

Thank you for reading!

threads through muscle--it sounds like a medical issue, worms, but you make it work and perhaps the worm image is even fitting

[tigriswolf]

Thank you for reading!

I really liked this. It shows their connection even if they were far away. And even now that they are together their link pushes them to their destiny as hunters. Maybe not just killing YED, but helping people fighting the good fight. Thanks for writing this!

Thank _you_ for reading it!

I love this. I had to read it when you mentioned "Trip Around The Sun" because I love that song, and I'm glad I did. It's small but it packs a big punch. It's beautifully worded, and although it is dark it shows that their relationship and strength together is the light that will keep them going until the end. Excellent job :-D

Thank you so much!

I think I should've by now told you how much I adore these metaphysical, Sam'n'Dean together forever-fics. 'Cause the way you bind them together always sends a chill down my spine.
With Supernatural, if it's not because of the errors, then it's a good thing.

...I just wish it was September already and we could have some more delving into the myth-arc... And Bobby!
Bobby is good.
*hugs him, too*
