Wow, I have to admire Dean for standing up to John like he did.
Yeah, Azazel likes him in the bulldog role but I think that he grossly underestimates the influence that Dean has over Sam and how much Sam loves and needs him.

The Sam/Dean moments were both incredibly hot and tenderly sweet. The love between them is palpable.

I'm a bit worried that Dean's getting sick.

Another wonderful chapter!
