Sam saves Dean.

Golden Lights Go Dark Tonight by pixel_0. Gen.

Brilliant take on how Sam finally figured out how to save Dean. Dark and twisted, yes, but brilliant. I didn't see that one coming until right at the very end.

Dean dies that evening.

They take his soul and leave his body on the graveled road behind the motel. His eyes are opened, dull and dark, and there is blood dried on his chin and shirt but still wet in his mouth when Sam finds him.

Sam, who takes Dean’s face in his hands and shakes him by the shoulders, who punches and slaps Dean despite knowing all the better, and who eventually breaks down and buries his face in Dean’s shirt.

One hand fisted in Dean’s jacket and another curled over Dean’s cheek, Sam cries. The loss slashes him open and leaves him bleeding beside his brother on that empty demons’ road.
