Rating: teen
Length: 3400 words
Warning: choose not to use archive warnings
Summary:
He supposed that they technically were victorious in the fight against Chuck, but it didn’t really feel like it when Sam still ended up walking off the battlefield alone. The last one standing, like some final twist of fate.
There was a whole world out there – a world they’d fought for – and Sam didn’t even know what to do with it.
At least, until a voice that sounded suspiciously like Dean’s told him, “Get up,” and he did.
Or, Sam finds a way to move on with his life, with the help of his big brother.
