Separation Anxiety

Tar-sticky bitterness is stuck in Sam's throat. It's not that he doesn't trust Dean to do this, and to come back; their relationship has come further than that over the years.

But seeing Dean choose to leave with Ketch over him still hurts; logic or no logic. Sam's already calling Cas, and mixing ingredients, because he's never been good at taking orders from anyone.

“You shouldn't have done that spell.” Gabriel's voice is gravel-rough, his lips red-raw. “There's something you don't know.”

Sam's guts freeze over at Gabriel's words. He almost forgot that bad things always happen when they separate.

A/N: I really enjoyed this episode - it felt like a great balance between a case and myth arc, and I felt like I got a good dose of boys in the mix too! I enjoyed the brotherly banter and pranks, and there were some great shots (I loved seeing Sam and Dean jump down the manhole!) The absence of Cas felt odd to me, especially when he has also been to the AU world and can therefore do the spell. I'm with Sam on this one; while I can see the logic, I'm not a fan of the brothers separating and I've focused on this for the drabble as well as expanding on the idea that maybe Gabriel's lips were sewn shut because he knows something. As always I'd love to hear your thoughts too; on the episode, on the drabble, on everything (just no spoilers please). Take care :)
