I was telling J yesterday that I will always read what you write because even if I look at either the pairing or the summary and think, 'Hmm, I'd probably not read this normally', your writing always pulls me right in. <3
The whole 'Sam is dead and stays dead' would normally be enough to make me run away because nooOOOoooooO!!! But you were right when you said that he was a presence in this story, and his death didn't feel glossed over at all and I liked that a lot.
It was a really good read and you kinda are the master of the slow buildup! But for some reason I especially enjoyed Lisa's reaction to Cas, all of the whispered 'can he peel potatoes and does he eat dinner', and that dude who compared him to Columbo, cause I think that regular people WOULD be really baffled by him and probably assume he had some kind of disorder. And even decent well-meaning people will often act like douches when presented with someone that doesn't quite fit the mold of 'normal', and I think that would really piss Dean off. That guy's saved a lot of

AND I LOVE YOU FOR READING THINGS I WRITE. <3 Even though they are not necessarily your cup of tea. I was thinking Sam being all non-alive and stuff would put you off this but I'm so glad it didn't. <3
Slow builds are like... almost the whole reason I want to write things. XD I suck ass at Actual Plot but Plot of Feelings I can totally do, and it entertains the shit out of me to be like "how is this way #349343.2 that they can get together."
AND YES the potatoes thing and how you think about the potatoes thing is PRECISELY what I wanted to get across with the potatoes thing, like random normal people don't GET Cas but Deanna/Dean does. <3
AND THANK YOU. Please to be sending your letter of recommendation to the CW immediately. XD
! I'm so very fascinated how Deanna is different from Dean (more honest with herself? I'm not sure how to describe it) And something about the whole fic seems so honest, so straightforward: how her grief can surface totally unexpected, how Cas dislikes becoming human and just how unpleasant things aren't glossed over. Also I really like how Deanna's being female and you know, being female altogether is described (I was so delighted by the line "his fingers draw a meandering spiral over her breast, through the few little dark hairs that like to crop up from time to time" and how she has to make effort to be unremarkable as a woman)
And urgh this whole thing just progresses so smoothly with all those little domestic scenes like going to the movies and well I guess everything about this fic is so domestic and so precious and Cas especially is so tender it makes my heart weep. (And for some reason I think this would make a really nice movie)
