Whee thank you! This is everything I ever wanted. ♥

First up, holy crap I love the intro. I love how cautious Jo is, looking Anna over to check for hidden weapons and such. I love Anna's pretense on getting her there. Sneaky angel.

The subtle presence of the Winchesters in the back of Jo's mind is really nicely done. Of course they'd have an impact on her, especially at this point in the timeline. I like how she doesn't want to think about them and how she considers herself and Ellen as a separate thing, which is how it should be.

Jo took a cool, prickly swig. The familiar draught slid easily over her tongue and down her throat, tasting like hops and safety and home. "Might have to. I forgot to bring my dolls."

I love that. It just sums up Jo so nicely.

The way Anna mentions her family like they're a bunch of humans is really awesome. I love it. It's in tune with the show (and how it should have been had Anna been played out more in-depth) with the messed-up family dynamic of the angels.

"Right, so I'm like 'What the hell, ( ... )

Eeee! I'm so deleriously happy you like it! And I'm so glad you wanted this pairing, because it was exactly the sort of challenge I was hoping to take on!

The way Anna mentions her family like they're a bunch of humans is really awesome. I love it. It's in tune with the show (and how it should have been had Anna been played out more in-depth) with the messed-up family dynamic of the angels.
Anna has been by far my favourite female character (Ellen and Jo are right behind her, for sheer badassery!) I'm so disappointed we haven't gotten more of her. As others have said, she was a wild card, and I was really hoping she'd turn out to be God. :(

And the bit about 'God knows' made me lol so hard. So very angelic..
Yeah, her "swears" were so very deliberate. ;D

As for the sex, I think this was my first fic that has gotten this, er, explicit. It was distracting fun! I'm so going to do more of that. :)

I also love how it ends. It fits the rest of the story perfectly. I love it all! ( ... )

I tried to get my brother to give me a hand, but he's a bit of a of a pansy sometimes.

HEE. YES!

This was fantastic and HOT as hell! Thank you so much for participating, hope to have you join in next time! <3

Hi!

You may have seen the posts in spn_fs_exchange about the podfic project that's aiming to create a comprehensive anthology of the first round's written fills. We're looking to get your permission for one of our volunteers to claim and record your story; please let us know if we can include "But We Could Breathe"! We're hoping to run the first round of claims in the upcoming weeks and we'll be running this out of podfic_project (once it's properly set up!) if you'd like to track the anthology's progress.

Thank you!
