Oh, I'm just discussing - not angry or something. Actually I enjoy finally talking with *someone* about it.

3 days in hell - every second an eternity. I think she got the concept down pretty good and I felt how that changed Sam in a fundamental way. And I could understand his need for pain after that. I also understood that when everything is brutal around you for eternities you look forward to the thing that hurts you less which in this case was Lilith.

Demons were not his friends. Hell unlocked his powers and he, as their boy king, connected to all demons. This connection was like a lifeline and hurt to not have. He tried shielding himself and it just made his need grow.

I hated that Dean was a second. I hated that Sam kept information from him and all. But Dean could never be a part of the connection, he'd never share that with Sam. Still, in the end Sam decides Dean is the one he needs the most and stays with him even if it rips him apart to not follow his connection. Unfortunately, this decision and the consequences is what comes over a bit abrupt and weak in her writing.

I think she kept Dean pretty real though. He's still doing everything for his little brother, doesn't do anything to hurt him even if Sam begs him to and is not judging. Anyway, in that kind of relationship I'd withdrawn long time ago because I'd never be enough for the other. But... Dean's used to that, isn't he? *fg*

5D5D I have a different opinion on. I read that first when it only had the first 5 fics and the "epilogue". I read all 5 fics and for me they were beginnings to a whole lot of more fics. I guess you can imagine my disappointment when I got to the 1,000 words epilogue that left pretty much everything unanswered. I spent a lot of time ranting that she took 5 absolutely interesting beginnings of a fic and left them there. Like 5 WiPs. I'm still grumpy even if there are more fics now in some verses. It just felt like she started and reserved them so the idea was "used" but the fic never complete. Unsatisfying.
