A Sam POV Season 11 finale coda in 100 words

Black Holes and Revelations

Sam, a detached observer, watches Mary Winchester’s first tentative steps in her new life.

What did it say about Dean that Amara dug deep into the scorched earth remains of Dean’s psyche and found, not a warrior and survivor, but a frightened four-year-old child that craved hugs?

And what did it say about Sam that he sees Dean’s barely contained joy at Mary’s presence, Dean’s eagerness to please her, his inability to understand her fear and discomfort, and yet felt nothing but the need to step back, keep his distance?

Even Mary could not fill the gap left by God.

I just suddenly wondered how Sam would be feeling about God really being gone this time...

Oh yes. I've been thinking about who is there left for Sam to pray to when he's been attacked by everyone he loves, including God.

Chuck failed to be a compassionate and loving God.

Chuck let everyone down in so many ways, but especially Sam...

Oh this packs a punch! What a wonderful character study of Sam and his thoughts about God.

Thank you for sharing :)

Oooh, so much here in so few words! I think it was looking into Dean's psyche that helped Amara appreciate humans - and their capacity to love and the need to be loved. But Sam's never going to have the same response to Mary as Dean, as he doesn't remember her. Poor Sam, so let down by Chuck-lehead God.

Well, I love Rob, I love Chuck and I love S11, but Chuck as God was a bit underwhelming!

Aw thank you. I took inspiration from ameliacareful's Mary POV fic though, so go read that if you want a real emotional punch. http://archiveofourown.org/works/7140677
