Thank you! I usually see amnesia used to show who the amnesiac character really is, but people are so much the product of their experiences that it's hard to think that a true amnesiac would be the "real" person, instead of more like a cousin of the former person. I am a huge Dean-girl, so I do think he's magnificent either way, but I wanted the sloppy, messy, needy one back because he's the one I fell in love with.
I wanted Sam to both love new!Dean and mourn the loss of Original Recipe Dean, more or less depending on the day. I don't think he ever would have confessed the truth, for reasons both selfish and un. And Dean's reaction when he gets his memories back proves that Sam was right to worry about confessing!
