amberdreams | Season 5 finale - Spoilers and pitfalls and tears ahoy

Had 3 hours sleep thanks to live streaming... all I can say is:

The Hollow Land of Broken Men

So this was the way that Dean Winchester’s world finally ended. With a knock on the door of the beautiful woman he loved, a delighted hug from the kid he still thought of, somewhere deep down inside, as his own. In any other circumstances, this should have felt like a warrior’s homecoming after the obligatory ticker-tape parade, but this loss was too deep, too raw. Too uniquely his.

He was alone in a way that Lisa could see and could understand, but was helpless to fix.

The four horsemen’s rings had ripped out the better part of him.

Sometime later

Outside, not touching the edge of warm yellow light that pooled around the small house, Sam watched as his brother sat down to eat at Lisa’s table. Ben was talking animatedly, Dean smiled indulgently. A touching scene of domesticity that spoke to Sam of a vow fulfilled.

He took a tentative step forward. Dean’s presence was a magnet, drawing him with a promise of comfort, love, understanding. He hesitated for a moment, then nodded, decision made in an instant. Dean deserved his chance at a normal life. He’d earned it.

Heart aching, Sam slipped silently away into the shadowy night.
