Summary: This rec is a call-out to season 8, but not a season 8 story, it's an AU set after Dean goes to Hell. I *love* this story, I love rivkat's work. It's an older one and I know most of you have already read it, but if it's been a while, read it again. There's brilliant writing and a wonderfully in character Dean and Sam.

Some of the best stories in this fandom start with Sam and Dean apart, for various reasons, and how they make their way back to each other. This is a story about Sam leaving Dean. Or a story about Dean leaving Sam—it's pretty much a matter of perception and interpretation on their parts. There's a golem but I'm not going to say more than that. There's angst, nicely controlled and layered, with Dean thinking he's dealing with the hits just fine, thank you. Never mind that mostly he's punching himself. And the golem—no, no, you have to find out on your own. But you should read it quickly before I can't stop myself. *slaps hand over mouth* Go! Read! Comment!
