These were quite wonderful. I've waited all this time to read them so I wouldn't be caught teary-eyed at work, but in fact they were stirring but not weepy. Especially, I think, because of the implication that they went together. The thought of one of them surviving the other is so painful that I just can't stand it.
Some lines I particularly liked were these: He fears that in giving so much of himself to Sam, that what is Sam, might be getting pushed out. Day by day, he's haunted by the ghost of a brother who isn't dead.
and the idea that "Looking at Sam is something Dean does for his soul." That whole drabble was wonderful, covering the different angles of who we are and with what parts of us we love other people.
