Between the Lines of Fear and Blame by faye_dartmouth (Gen)

Summary: In the hunt for Lucifer, Sam is hurt and Dean has to embark on a quest to find his brother in more ways than one.

It's THE most amazing Sam character study ever written. It takes in all the major events in his life, showing how they shaped him, drove him to his decisions for better or worse... and you see it all through Dean's eyes and dawning understanding. It's wonderful writing. Ever so insightful!

I'm not entirely sold on the whole 'Sam wanting to commit suicide' thing to be honest (being self destructive as he was while Dean was in Hell is different to being suicidal). But like you said, that's Faye's interpretation and she did make a really good case for it.

Yep! That's what I mean. It's one person's interpretation...and in fanfic, that doesn't even always mean it's what they believe is really going on... and she does it very well. *nods* Plus it's creepy with the black-eyed guide etc. :)
