[Spoilers for s03 e12 Jus In Bello . Victor Henriksen survived Lilith.
This is short - 1778 words, but I feel it conveys an excellent sense of mood and character. My favorite stories tend to be about people who, in the wake of disaster, *stand up* and start fixing things. They scrape together their courage, admit their faults, and get to work - and they fix themselves along the way.
This is an introspective piece, done in second person. I usually avoid the "you did this" p.o.v., but it works here as Henriksen reinvents himself.]

I agree with @Banner. I usually avoid the second person point of view in fanfiction as well, but here it surprisingly worked as it showed the differences between his old habits and new thought process.

I also liked that he thought about Dean's "seemingly" criminal activities first, but then corrected himself.

Mentions of the hunting community were good as well. As always, more worldbuilding is welcome. (Doubt about Sam's character was a nice detail. Nice reference to future and past plot points.)

It was a nice story focused on character development. 5/5 for me.
