Supernatural & J2 Big Bang 2014 - Sam/Dean Sam's life from sixteen to twenty-two years old. This is a story of the last days of innocence during a sweltering Southern summer when Sam is so in love with his brother, he can barely stand his touch. It's the pain between them through lies, through jealousy, through seeing each other with someone else. Theirs is a story of leaving and Stanford, of Dean feeling lost and Sam nearly losing himself without his brother. It's fire and reunion and a love never lost - ever-present and no longer deniable.

4.5 stars. A lengthy beautifully written fanfic charting Sam's life from ages sixteen to twenty-two. I enjoyed the slow build of Sam's angst-ridden teens in which he yearns for his brother Dean, less so the explicit sex scenes at the end (not a big fan of rimming.) Art by Niightmoves “We’re sleeping, Sammy.” There’s light in Dean’s eyes, a tiny glimmer of humor behind his serious big brother face, behind the tired lines. Dean leans over and flicks off the lamp by the bed, leaving them in muffled streetlight. Sam’s smile softens and he reaches up, hooking an arm around Dean’s neck and tugging him down into the bed, laughing a little when Dean lands with an oof.
This is a work of art. I don't think anyone has managed to capture the sheer feeling of pining, teenage angst, dusty Americana, pure love, shame, mental spirals, and all that this story does so well as dollylux has in the Invisible Boy series. Amazing, 100000/10.
