This is utter perfection. I want to wrap this fic in my arms and hug it into squishy oblivion.

Yessss. Balthazar would just be the greatest best friend to have ever.

[ms_chignon]

He would!

I'm thrilled to have found a fanfic where he's written so beautifully in-character. Here's hoping for more.

That's very sweet of you to say! I'm friends with a lot of Balthazar loving enablers at the moment, so I'm actually struggling to keep him out of fics (though, of course, why would anyone want to?).

This is... I don't even have words for how perfect this is. ♥

[tawg]

I'll just accept the love heart and carry on then :)

Could you add the Castiel/Balthazar pairing to this? Since it does wind up that way. I wasn't expecting jerk Dean or the fic to wind up Castiel/Balthazar when the pairings only have them as friendship.

I'm assuming you mean in the post over at spn_balthazar?

OOOOHHH! LOVE! Long suffering best friend Bal FINALLY getting his due! <33333 :D

[tawg]

Balthazar is just the greatest friend. I was so happy when Castiel got an actual friend in canon. There was a small party and everything.

This is seriously perfect. :')

Thank you, it's very sweet of you to say so :)
