Why this must be read:This is an early story, in the sense that the author had only seen a couple of episodes from the first season when she wrote this, and that it's set relatively soon after Jessica's death. What I love about it, though, is how even over a year later, even with everything we've now learned about them, her Sam and her Dean are still very much in character, very plausible interpretations of the boys we see on the show.
Having gone through the trauma of losing Jessica and now battling new demons, Sam watches and realizes things about his brother that he never noticed before, or at least never understood. Through sleep and nightmares and waking up in the middle of the night, Sam discovers a new side to Dean's personality that he wasn't aware of.
To sleep, perchance to dream
