oooh, now, where to start? so many comments on so many levels I'm just about incoherent here, trying to decide what comes first:) Such a lovely wrap-up- God, love the duality- how easy it is, and how much it hurts, that unmaking it unmakes Sam- There's protection from his powers, if Dean needed to be sure-or ever needs evidence that Sam's not as dangerous as he might be! but Dean, child of Earth can destroy it with a sword of light- and Sam's blessing in blood. oh, so right. The mythic quality rings through all of this, but it's made so clear, in so few words- have I mentioned how I love your images?- not just because they're beatiful, but because of the way they carry the story? love how Bobby's fearful need to know (and yet, still with the cinnamon pancakes and Recipe*love*) and Dean's need to test Sam sketch the whole range of human response to that kind of power- and Sam gets it, because it's Dean, because "Dean lived this every day of his fucking life. Earning something we took for granted." Time to"man up". Now that, that couldn't be more right. Resonance all the way through, childhood to mythos and into theology. (Scary, that) :)
"Man, you are one grade A freak, you know that, Sammy?" "Runs in the family, Dean"
and home again, without missing a step. wow. Neither divine nor human could destroy what would end the world, but together they can do it, with comedy for counterpoint. *Is veryvery glad all those tests are cleared away, so can roll around in this instead* better than a freshly sifted bed of sand, I tell ya!
"Dean had figured out he could simply put the sword away into nothingness – and had put it away a half-dozen times, grinning like a fool"
I am so irresistibly reminded of The Cat with the new cat door...*g*
And Curtains!!! yes! Thanks so much for my lovely carrot-I had to type my first comment with my eyes squinched shut so I didn't cave in and peek! And now I get, finally, to go read the whole thing through. Hi Cook!

Such a lovely wrap-up-
God, love the duality- how easy it is, and how much it hurts, that unmaking it unmakes Sam- There's protection from his powers, if Dean needed to be sure-or ever needs evidence that Sam's not as dangerous as he might be!
