You. This. I don't know if I even know words adequate to expressing my absolute joy and astonishment at this story! It's so full and complete, and I could feel the pain -- Dean's and Sam's -- and the love woven all through it. Dean's uncertainty, pushing on as best he could, doing what he thought was the right thing (and sometimes the only thing).

I love the way you wove canon into it (or it into canon). Gave a new perspective to Sam and John's very troubled relationship.

The ending just killed me, though. Sam -- and the others -- integrating, because of their love for Dean. Just. God.

I really, really love this story. Once again you've just blown me away with your talent; with your incredible story-telling skills. *hugs you* You rock, honey.
