Summary: Sam can hardly believe Dean’s greeting card life is not just another hell-blown bubble that’s going to pop if Sam pokes at it or gets too close… but when he stands here outside Dean’s window, the memories are so real and so visceral he feels like he’s living them all over again.

Underneath skies so dark and cold the stars seem frozen in place, Sam stands back and watches.

Summary: Sam stays changed. Life goes on, mostly.
A/N 1: I set out to write birthday fic for the delightful and excellent debbiel66, but this turned into the kind of fic no one wants for a festive occasion, unless, to quote Buffy, you could smash in all their toes with a hammer and it would still be the bestest birthday bash in a while. Still, a happy birthday to Debbiel.
A/N 2: title taken from Robert Frost, "The Oven Bird." "The question that he frames in all but words/Is what to make of a diminished thing."
A/N 3: I'm finding it hard to distinguish hurt!Sam fic from hurt!Dean fic these days, since I seem to be writing them both miserable. I think this one belongs to both.

("When his phone rings at 3:23AM, Dean knows who it's going to be, and why.")
