The Minor Fall and the Major Lift by withdiamonds (R)
Sorry for the late SPN start but work has been crazy. Co-worker out for surgery and so overtime galore! But I'm hear to get this Metallicar on the road so here what's to expect. I'm a big slasher in this fandom, mainly Sam/Dean and Sam/Castiel. There will be some gen, but expect much slash-y stuff. And besides the prettiness and heat that is Jensen and Jared (cold shower anyone?), I was also drawn to Supernatural for the drama and brotherly angst, expect much of that to follow as well. So to start this show on the road, how about an example of that angst, ne?

Why this must be read:
Author's Summary:When Sam dies bloody in the mud at Cold Oak, he faces a choice. His soul can move on to wherever it is souls go, or he can stay and try to help his brother deal. Sam refuses to leave Dean alone with his grief and so he stays, hoping his presence will ease Dean's pain. There's really nothing that can do that, though, and Sam's unseen presence only makes things worse. Then Dean goes and finds himself a crossroads demon.
To introduce Supernatural this month, I give you an absolute favorite. It makes my entire being feel along with the characters, in my gut, my heart, and my soul It gives us a window into what Sam went through in the Season 2 finale, All Hell Breaks Loose Part 2, and it explores some of the mythology of the canon by showing us the ever slow and painful journey a spirit goes through towards that inevitable conclusion of vengeful spirit. And then there's Dean's journey... OMFG... The episode itself made my heart clench, but this... It goes into the nitty gritty details so much more, like actually dealing with your dead brother's body and the blood he left behind on your car's leather that you now have to wash out, knowing exactly what it is...
Besides the pain of Dean's journey, I really found the Sam side of this story fascinating. I always wondered what his spirit was experiencing while his brother was watching over his body and making that fateful deal. Now we get to see that inwithdiamond's capable hands. She explores how Sam staying affects Dean and his decisions, how his staying makes Dean incapable of letting go. And then there's Sam starting to exhibit all those traits of a vengeful spirit... It makes one wonder how things would have progressed if Sam had chosen the Reaper's offer of crossing over and Dean had been capable of letting go. Dean may not have been able to and may have ripped Sam from heaven... Who knows, but it's fascinating to ponder on.
Definitely a fic that can be used as a measuring stick for the sheer talent in this fandom. That fact was one of the defining realizations for me after diving into SPN fandom, my jaw took almost permanent residence on my floor from the wonderful writing, characterization, and storytelling. This fic encapsulates all of that into one awe-inspiring fic that will leave you hankering for more.
