I'm about to take my first step on this long journey, Ten Thousand Miles, last year's Big Bang by

mimblexwimble.

I've put it off long enough. Each time I clicked on that fic I backed off when I reached this line - It’s 3:19 AM and the last time Dean ever sees Sam.

It's not that I don't do sad. Some of my favourite fics ever are actually death fics that made me bawl like a baby - When It's Over by

wynter_rebel, We Were Twenty by

elohvee, White Ladder by

tru_faith_lost, to name a few.

But that line up there is just so depressing, even more so than

elohvee's It's sunny the day he buries his brother.

Maybe because that line implies that Dean will never ever find out what happens to his brother? I don't know, but no matter how many glowing recs that fic received, I had never managed to get past that line.

But today, I'm determined to read that story. And if the fic is as good as all the recs said, then I'll probably going to be this sobbing mess by the end of it.

ETA : Yes, I am a sobbing wreck now. Flawless writing, 10/10, but the jury's still out on the story per se because I'm an absolute mess now. One thing's for sure though, I will not forget this story for a long, long time.

It's not so much that it's sad, but FRUSTRATING AS HELL! I did NOT like the way it ended. You'll understand more once you read it.

I was chicken so I read the epilogue. *hee*

Oh no. No death fics for me. No thank you. I saved White Ladder long time ago, it's always inside my cell, and I can't read it. I just can't.

Give me Mpreg anytime, but no death fic. Noooooooo.......

I'm glad you read it, though whether or not you enjoyed it is still unclear, if it made you cry like that. I don't mind a story that makes me cry a bit, but I still can't real death fics, or stories that have extreme angst with no comfort to balance it.
