Man I really love this story. Think Dean and Sam are just perfectly written =] but the ending? I don't understand is none of it real? I like to think it is, but at the same time I always jump to the depressing conclusion that all the feelings are Deans and these situations did happen but not as you tell it...that in reality nothing ever happened between him and Sam because he could never bring himself to tell Sammy the truth!!
OH well either way I really liked it as an ending =]

yeah, the ending has been confusing people for several years now, including me. i think maybe it was too aggressively ambiguous, but ambiguity was the original point, so i guess it's doing its job.

anyway, thanks very much for the comment.

hee, you see how far i've come. excellent use of 'erotic fare' too (heh, like an erotic cake), cos it's not about the graphicness, it's about the efficacy of the filth. because we are all numb to the graphic, at this point.

"And Sam looks at him sometimes like Dean is the only thing he can see in color."
Oh, i like that. Beautiful.

heh, that is like the consensus favorite line from this story, and i am always sorta half-embarrassed because i ripped it off a story in another fandom that i wrote a few years earlier. fanfic lets you get away with self-plagiarizing (and thank god for that).

and thanks for reading, these comments are full of randomness and excellence.

Well, the important thing is that you're the one who wrote it.
For this or anything else, it's still a beautiful sentiment, and I'm going to be hard pressed not to steal it. :P

no, thank you for writing. I'm really glad I found this little gold mine.
It's helping me get through boring, hour long trip to work. :D

The last line, or rather the last couple leave me itching. Not quite sure for what, but they leave my senses tingling as if there's so much more hidden under every word. Which is why I should go back and re-read this one now. ♥

yeah, that last line is the only problem i have with this story anymore, but even regarding that antipathy i am hesitant about because making you feel off-balance and ambiguous is the point of that last line, but i am still kinda like, eh. really glad you liked it, though, and thanks for the note.
