This is so lovely. I don't know how you psychically divined my happy place, but Dean and Benny on boats is it. It makes me very happy that you picked the sea monster prompt, and I love how you used the case to bring in little reminders that their lives can't always be this idyllic -- it gives the whole thing a wonderful bittersweetness.
I love Benny's loyalty and gentle care in this -- how he insists on backing Dean up on the hunt, but won't let him work all night -- and I can just see him affectionately teasing Dean about his sea legs.
And this is such a lovely image to end with: Thankfully Benny seemed to agree, and they decided to sit out on the deck for a while, cuddling together on a pile of pillows as stars slowly blinked into existence above them.
They're so good together and so good for each other, and this really captures that. I'm choosing to believe that in this universe, Benny lives and Sam eventually comes around, and my bbs are able to be together having found their missing pieces. ♥ ♥ ♥ Thank you so much, wonderful author.
