ouchie!

Loved it. *g*

(and on a side note, the phantom pain of his missing wings perfectly explains the drug use! I like how you wove that in, and also the story of the broken foot. :) )

How did you manage to write something so hurty yet so hopeful at the same time? Seriously, how? The way you portrayed their relationship, even in the harsh landscape of The End, that even as broken as they both are, they still have each other and are at their cores, still the same Dean and Cas, is wonderful.

future!fic! oh, anon, you know the way to my heart. ♥
i seriously loved every bit of this but i'm going to attempt to articulate some of my excitement here (WHERE DO I START?) so bear with me.

It had been the Bible that Dean had clutched while stricken with ghost fever and haunted by images of Lilith.

that scene, to me, is one of the most powerful in the entire series -- the fact that you've not only referenced it but given it even more significance just makes me all kinds of happy.

i don't even have words ;_;

His breath was familiar and warm against his skin and it was a

::flails:: I'M SO HAPPY YOU ENJOYED THIS!! I wibbled about this fic with my beta and it had a major face-lift a few times over...and then I wibbled some more.

:)

It was fun writing for you though!

Oh, wow, this was absolutely fantastic. The writing was great in itself, but then you had the parallels between Dean and the Bible, and Cas' narrative voice, and that quiet moment on the hood of the car, and just knowing how everything ends... Hurty, but oh so good.

Really, really great work. ♥
