Author: Maygra
Status: Complete
Pairing: Sam/Dean
Warnings/Ratings: Adult, Death.
Notes: Though I tend to write dark fic, I rarely (only once before) ever write death fic. Nor do I read them very often. That this presented itself to me is as suprising to me as to anyone.

... and I didn't even say that right, because it's not really about whether Dean loves Sam more than Sam loved Jess or... any weirdo permutations thereof, it's about how Sam feels about his life after Jess, and what Dean's life would be like without Sam. I suspected at first -- and I think Sam still does -- that John Winchester views his hunt as having a solitary goal, an end point, and after he's found whatever killed his wife, nothing after that matters. ("Home" and "Asylum" made me think harder about John's relationship to his sons and I'm not sure where my head's landed yet. Possibly I'm up in the air about this until we get new episodes.) But I don't think Sam feels that way; he's clearly on the warpath now, and I think he's realizing once it's over he can't exactly just go back to Stanford, but I think he still believes he'll have some kind of a life after all this is over.

So... (good lord, could this be more convulted?) the question is whether Sam feels Dean could live after his death, or just exist until he got whatever got Sam and then just stop?

(I need another icon with Sam. Phoo.)

Okay. In general as regards to the series, yes, I think Sam absolutely thinks Dean could go on and I really think that if Sam died, Dean would go on, even more determined than before.

In regards to this bit of future-fic, no I don't think it's possible either of them would go on without the oterh. Physically, emotionally, or spiritually. Because this is a story about possession be it literal or just perceived an d I don't actually think the series is heading int hat direction exactly.
