Wow. This chapter was so full of awesomeness that I don't even know where to start! I loved it so much, all those intricate details you always weave into your story, all those little things moving several story arcs forward, it's amazing!
I'm so glad the demons didn't really get to Sam, though I must say - as you surely intended - Sam's vision bothers and worries me a great deal, bringing us ever closer to the Big Bad lurking just behind the corner. And I have a feeling that going to that gay club might fulfill their (and our ;)) fantasies of public sex but will be a bad decision at the end of the day, since it was after all a demon suggesting they go there... *sighs* I knew the boys' domestic bliss wouldn't last forever, but I'm not ready to face all the horribleness that is the Boy King mess... I want them to be happy, damnit! But I have faith you'll get us there eventually.
One huge and fantastic step towards that is what I've decided to see as the Epic Wincesty Cleansing of Sammy. :) I of course love the idea that their love can somehow purify Sam, save him, them, the world. Your description of the light pouring out of Sam, the...uhm...curious absence of Dean's come and Sammy's dream afterwards - it made me all giddily happy and hopeful. And as always your writing was so visceral, their emotions palpable and so many other big, wonderful words I can't think of right now. ;) It even made the daddy!kink somehow work for me, despite that usually not being my thing. I think it was important that you showed how unrelated to John it is, and in the context of Sam and Dean's relationship, it does actually make a certain kind of sense to me.
And then the ending! Dean going hungry so Sam doesn't have to has always been Canon to me, and I loved how you integrated it into this fic as well. To me, it was essential for Sam to see just what Dean's love for him has always entailed, and just how deep Dean's feelings run.
In short: You've outdone yourself yet again, and this was all sorts of perfect! Thank you.
