Hmm, Where All the Ghosts Play makes a nice companion piece to sgt_psycho's most recent fic that I just recced. It's a Skin coda from Sammy's POV. The brothers are together and all is right with the world. Everything except the reports of missing girls. The characterizations are perfect and prose sucks you in.
kho has written a very powerful introspective Sam piece, A Life Without Choices. I'm amazed that this was written based on a single episode, and yet it still rings incredibly true to Sam's character -- I'm not sure if that reflects more on Kripke or kho, but I don't really care. It'll have you hurting all over again for Sam just like the end of the pilot did.
In case you need your heart broken with a scene from Sam and Dean's childhood,mahaliem obliges with Night Rituals. It's short and heartbreaking and probably all too true to canon.
It's rare to find a happy fic in the SN fandom I think. Painted on Jeans bybkm5191 comes close, but really lands you on the teary side of nostalgia. John checks up on Sam and seeing Jesse reminds John of when he met Mary. There's some typos and such, but the emotion behind the writing makes it easy to ignore.

Nov. 24th, 2006 09:44 pmOkay, so I'm having trouble getting my parents (and aunt and uncle) to realize that a lot of the delusions my grandmother is having may in fact be part and parcel of the Alzheimer's disease. My aunt is pretty much convinced that she doesn't really have AD and instead is still just suffering from the psychotic break.
Only problem, they're not incredibly web savvy so the web pages I have emailed in the past haven't really made much of a difference (or rather, they didn't because my mom was too sick to print them out at the time and they're now buried in her inbox).
So, does anyone know of a good, basic book to introduce people to what to really expect from an alzheimer's patient rather than what we see on TV? One of the reasons my aunt is starting to question the diagnosis is that she's all "but Mother doesn't ever forget anything. She's not having memory problems" -- this even though my grandma can't remember how to work a washing mamchine whithout having to be shown every time.
