amberdreams, who was very good to work with an unfinished product, and who put a lot of detail and thought into her work. So glad I got to work with you this round and thank you again!!!!!
Pairing(s): Sam/Dean
Beta(s): The sweet and ever supportive

sammichgirl, and the brilliant and sadistic

roadrhythm
Prompt(s): This was created for an auction with a prompt to create a story focused on the recovery and care after a serious injury. It is long, long overdue and I am still grateful to have been chosen although I certainly failed to get this out in anything like a reasonable time.
Disclaimer: I don't own what I built on, but I do own what I built.
Summary: Set in Season 2, Sam has sustained a terrible injury trying to protect his brother. He finds himself in a tiny, idyllic village being cared for by Dean. Unsure if his paranoia is wholly justified or the result of brain damage, Sam finds himself fighting not only to recover but to understand what is unfolding around him.
Notes: This was hard. This was one of a number of stories I was working on when my brother passed away, and so much of what I put into Sam's recovery and his hospital stay came from what I witnessed when my own brother was struggling in 2005. It seemed so distant and easy to use, and then he was gone and it wasn't. I tried to come back to it, but there was no light in the tunnel to follow out.

If it wasn't for people like

without_me , the original bidder, who believed and wanted this story,

roadrhythm who cheerleaded and tried so hard with betaing this,

clex_monkie89 spot checking live as I crawled my way out of the hole I was in, and

sammichgirl who has been taking care of me since I started in this arena and has been involved in every big bang I ever tried. Thank you. Thank you all, and all the other fandom friends who have been so supportive and close. I can never tell you how grateful I am.
