I really really like this. There's a sense of quiet pain here, mostly because this is told through Dean's eyes, which I think was the best choice for this story. There are sweet, painful moments between the two of them, and I just want to hug them both and go, "Oh, SAM. OH DEAN."

Really, really (I keep saying really really! gah!) VERY VERY... Beautiful and wonderful.

(And yes, Lash works a WHOLE lot better, methinks)
