Come on, Sam. You’re getting feelings all over my Heaven.

And now thanks to you I have feelings all over my sleeve. It's funny - feelings look a heckuva lot like snot from the BUCKETS OF TEARS I HAVE CRIED. This was AWESOME.

Hah. My sincerest apologies, then :P I know, feelings bear a suspiciously wet and shiny resemblance. And to snot too, don't forget that ;)

also, damn you're fast! So glad you liked it though. (I was particularly fond of that line too...)

LOL yes I know I was fast, don't think it means I didn't read it thoroughly though! I was telling kalliel that you guys just caught me at the right time, desperate for some procrastination.

HAH. and we've all been there before ;)

Totally loved this.
I think the best part (other than that they finally got back together again) was that the Dean in heaven was the original smart-ass one - and that that was the one Sam really wanted!

hey, thanks :) yeah, that was definitely my main goal. sam likes dean just the way he is, cranky and womanizing and all. thanks for dropping by!

This was AWESOME! I totally loved this story!

bythedamned September 30 2011, 20:54:04 UTC

Thank you! That's awesome to hear :)

What a wonderful story. I really enjoyed reading it. I love the idea that Dean was some protector and didn't turn into a malevolent spirit.

Btw, the Impala is an automatic. It doesn't have a stick shift.

bythedamned September 30 2011, 20:53:50 UTC

seriously? damn. and I was so good about checking the other things too. (I confirmed that the Impala does, in fact, have seat belts, even though they were iffy on cars from the 60s). doesn't Dean just seem like a manual kinda guy though?

anyway, so glad you liked it :) 6 months in the making, it feels good to finally have it posted.

Oh wow - this was so awesome. I couldn't have stopped reading it for any reason - I even let my attention slip from watching Supernatural - though I have it on DVR of course - LOL. And even though I knew it had to lead up to Sam dying too - it still was heart wrenching - especially with notquiteDean there trying to get Sam to hang on a little while longer - I started crying there and didn't stop till the end of the epilogue - still leaking a little writing my comments. But it's the best kind of cry - this is pitch perfect h/c - and - GOD BLESS, I wish the show would end like this, though I'm not in a hurry for it to end of course.

bythedamned October 2 2011, 00:55:37 UTC

wow. that is seriously the best compliment ever. especially if you were watching 7x02 - I couldn't tear my eyes away!

I can't really think of another happy ending for the boys besides Heaven. I think Show has proven that as long as they're alive, something's making life hard for them. but yes, *fingers crossed* not for many many years (ahem, seasons).
