Laying the Groundwork (слэш)

Sam had always been the Winchester who saw that life was more than black and white. While true good and absolute evil existed in the world, there was so much more on the spectrum he was willing to accept. Maybe this time, he was using that philosophy as an excuse…
It wasn’t exactly like he’d prepared to feel the pull of his damn soulmate during a hunt!
Except, Sam had faith everything happened for a reason. When he allowed their ‘creature of the week’ to fake his death while they walked away from an incomplete mission (unbeknownst to Dean), that same monster ended up proving soulmates were real—saving Sam’s life.
