I am SO SORRY it took me so long to get this fic done. I guess some allergyfics are tougher for me to write than I had anticipated. Plus RL kept getting in the way. But I finally finished this up this morning and here it is! It's not my best work, but I hope it's worth the terribly long wait. Sorry about that! *HUGS* and *APOLOGIES*

This is a really nice continuation "Dean Herding" as now we actually get to see what the storm did in terms of both damage outside and to Dean. I really like the image of Dean sitting off by himself (as far away from the cats as possible) not trying to bother anyone. And Sam sticking up for his big brother and taking care of him. And the part at the end where Dean just wants to get out and away, yeah, totally him. Glad Baby wasn't too badly hurt in the storm that they were able to leave.

Oh oh, this was fantastic! Geez, I'm sorry it took me so long to comment! My internet connection was on the fritz, but I've read (and re-read) this many times on my phone. (I can't write a proper comment on my phone, though!)

Ok, on to my List of Things:

First of all, Gooo Sammy! He was SO perfect in this! First there was Gentle, Caretaking Sammy, fetching Dean supplies, wiping his face with the washcloth, and taking care of Dean's scratches, being extra sweet and patient with him, because he knows he feels like crap. g'awww. Then we saw Take-Charge Sammy, making sure everybody else in the building was okay, and pretty much running the show, taking over the role Dean would have assumed, if he wasn't out of commission. Then- My favorite!- Protective Sammy, being all defensive and guarding of his brother, like when he keeps himself positioned between Dean and the annoying bofriend who keeps complaining about Dean's sneezing keeping him awake. Yay Sam!

I mentioned the part about the washcloth, but that was one of my favorite parts...the description of Dean lifting his face up, and Sam pressing the washcloth into Dean's face. ahh, lovely.

This line. “Sabby?” Dean kept his head down, his nose buried in the bandana. “The cats… it’s the huh the cats. I cad’t… stuhh… I cad’t stob… sd… sdehh… sdehhhh-eh-hehh-hehShfff! hehKshfffff!” Um...omg.

The part where Dean was trying to convince everyone that, no he's not sick, it's just allergies. Then everybody in the room trying to brainstorm on what to do to keep Dean quiet. And then he starts up sneezing again, and everyone in the room is staring at him...:) And this: “It’s just a little sdeezig, all right? Dow lay off. I’b biserable edough. Hehh…” Awww, poor Deano :(

And then poor Dean, trying so hard to be quiet and doing everything in his power to keep from sneezing all night and keeping everybody awake, but they just keep coming and COMING, and then when Complaining Guy got knocked out....yesss! I couldn't resist a little fist pump at that part :)

Oh and one of my other favorite lines: "If Dean had felt better, he would have joined in. As it was, he could only rub his face against Sam’s side, the thick flannel scratching wonderfully against his itchy skin. Sam squeezed his shoulder reassuringly." Love it :)

Then when Dean finally gets to leave the building, and he steps outside, and instead finally getting a breath of fresh air, he gets a faceful of cigarette smoke, and it sets him off again...omg. I SO was not expecting that :) I have such a weakness for sneezing set off by cigarette smoke, don't think I've ever read about it happening to Dean, though. Squeee!


Anyway, thank you so much again, I am so very grateful to you for this! :) :) :) It was every little bit worth the wait, and then some :) I'm sorry if it gave you a hard time, though... I hope it wasn't too much of a headache for you!
