Fics like the valley of the shadow of death (keep walking)

The five seconds before Dean's fully awake are the best moments of his day. In that quiet space between sleep and wakefulness, when dreams are still clinging to the edges of his mind and all he feels is the soft mattress and the warm sheets, he can pretend that everything is fine. That when he opens his eyes and stretches himself awake—joints popping, bones cracking—there'll be someone waiting for him in the kitchen with a hot cup of coffee and an off-center smile. It's only five seconds. A handful of heartbeats. One painful inhalation and exhale. The blink of grit from his eyes. Not nearly enough time before it hits him all over again.
