Legite tears. I love you so, so much for writing this. ♥

[janie_tangerine]

*hands tissues* thanks so much! ♥ I'm so really glad that it worked for you. And I'll be here basking in love then. ;)

Stunning. I love that heaven got changed up and the Roadhouse is open for business. Trust Ash to find a way to contact earth. I think you played this beautifully and if only e could see something like this on screen I think I would cry.

[janie_tangerine]

The whole thing with Ash trying to fuck angels over and contact the living is totally my headcanon. No one told me otherwise! ;) And thanks, I'm so glad that you liked this. ♥ I'd like to see it happen too..

Crying and happy and I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO ME.

Claire and Amelia having tattoos and mostly ordinary lives but Ames wants to be kept up to date on the Leviathans and yesssss.

Cas is not Jimmy and he smiles different and feels different and looks different but Amelia can't stop comparing them and maybe hoping to find some trace of Jimmy.

ASH STRUNG TIN CANS ONNA STRING BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH. That conversation was just amazing, with them saying those things and Amelia having feelings about being possessed and how she was robbed of her last conversation with Jimmy.

CASTIEL BUYS HER GUILT-PIZZA AND BAKES CUPCAKES AND ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR SLEEP AND OH MY HEART!

CAS FIXED HEAVEN FOR EVERYONE.

OMG DEAN AT THE END AND CAS BEING SCARED AND DEAN BEING ALL "WTF I MISSED YOOUUUU" AND THEN THEY HUGGED AND IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.

ALSO: AMELIA. EVERY BIT WITH AMELIA WAS PERFECT.

HEEE I'M SO GLAD THAT YOU LIKED THIS. I kind of really really liked that prompt so it's awesome to know that I made it justice. And that Amelia especially worked for you because I don't think I ever wrote her POV specifically, so it's good to know I got it. right. (ALSO ASH STRINGING TIN CANS BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH IS MY HEADCANON DAMMIT, YOU KNOW HE'D MANAGE TO DO ANYTHING SHORT OF RESURRECTION PEOPLE >___>) And hee I was really hoping that Cas having guilt trips and trying to make up for it with cupcakes would work. Also of course he fixed heaven. And I'm so glad that the part with Dean worked for you because I kind of went with it on a whim. XD then again REUNIONS ARE GOOD THINGS. ;)

Thanks so much! ♥ I'm so so glad that you liked this.

I think my heart completely broke at this line:

It doesn’t feel like Jimmy’s hand at all.

Amelia's grief---her trying to let go while something is still wearing her husband's body around the house---is so potent in this. I wish I could describe it more coherently, but: you've really written something powerful here.

[janie_tangerine]

*hands tissues* thanks so very much, I'm so glad that you liked it this much. Don't feel like you need to be coherent. ;) And especially that the POV worked for you because I hadn't written anything with Amelia as the POV before so if I did good it's really great to know.

[lostakasha]

So sad and inventive and oh, if only!!! Thanks for this -- it's great.

[janie_tangerine]

You're welcome, I'm so glad that you liked it! :D
