Oh. my. GOD.

I feel like I want to hug you or applaud or something. Freakin' hell. This has so much packed into it and it's so beautifully, sparsely written, not a word wasted.

And there's something so... brave about it. I don't even know. I hope you're damn proud of this, because it's totally brilliant.

This. THIS is how I wish I could write.

Thanks so much for your generous and sweet comment! smishes you back.

since YOU are one of MY FAVORITE writers, this comment means a lot! I'm really glad you enjoyed it, and I kind of hesitated when posting, but I decided well, if I am a poet then that's just going to shape my fic from time to time.

:)

I'm REALLY glad you liked it and I REALLY thank you for commenting!

Nahhhgghghghhhhh!!!!!! *dies of angsty goodness*

Sam gone? Dean alone? Side-kick Castiel?

I don't know if I should be sad (Sam gone? Dean alone?) or weirdly gleeful (side-kick Castiel?). I am conflicted, which is strange because I didn't think anyone, even in fic, could/should be in the shotgun seat besides Sam. This worked for me!

Also, beautiful words. This line esp. was lovely:

"His fingerprints are inside her, deep where no one else can see."

Thanks so much for commenting! I'm so glad it worked for you

That is wonderful. This line is so true: His fingerprints are inside her, deep where no one else can see.

[fannishliss]

thanks so much for your comment! I'm glad you liked it!

that line has been resonating for me, too.... there's a 65 mustang that's taken up residence in my neighborhood, that makes me PINE. but at least I can write stories about sweet, sweet cars!

[davincis_girl]

I know how you feel, 'cause a was stopped at a light this morning next to a similar vintage black mustang convertable and thought "mmmm, sexy car". Damn Supernatural has corrupted me if I am even noticing cars.

I am so totally not worthy of a piece like this. It was a wonderful tone poem of mood and atmosphere. Wow. I'm grateful.

"You know the road better than I do, Dean." Truer words, man, truer words.

Thank you!

One thing, though. A dyke is a woman who loves other women. A *dike* is an earthen dam. ;-D

[fannishliss]

You are totally worthy -- it was a wonderful prompt and I fought to live up to the challenge. I really love the tone and atmosphere of that song, even though it is happy and this was not so much.

You are so welcome! prompt me ANY TIME. :)

you know, I had a feeling I was spelling it wrong!! that's why I should always listen to my instinct.... I'll go fix that!

[roguebitch]

Every time I read this, I feel everything you wrote all over again. Thank you, bb!

Yeah, I think if you put your thumb in a dyke, you get an entirely different result that if you put your thumb in a dike! ;-D

[kira_bouviea]

Um, wow.

This was wonderful... I like how you gave us the story, without actually giving us everything, it leaves room for imagination.

The slashers will slash, but the fans who prefer gen, they can see it as Gen all the way baby!

Nice.

[fannishliss]

Thanks for your very kind comment!

I wrote this thinking of post s4, the way I projected it to go... we'll see what happens next!

It's Gen like the show -- the slash is undercover.... :)
