OOOooohhh! I love this more than I have words to say!

I ♥ a good gen curtain!fic - they are all too rare. I love how you paced this, not telling us everything all at once but carefully doling out what we should know at the perfect time.

I love fic where both boys want to take care of each other - sometimes too damaged to, but still trying their best. This was full of metaphors and similes that were eloquent and effective. Your care really showed.

This was an awesome prompt (there is never enough fic about Sam running), and you really did it justice!

THANK YOU, your opinion and comments mean so much to me!

I certainly worried about this fic more than I ever have with any of my others (possibly even including my very first one). I wanted the brothers to shine through even in the most difficult of circumstances but for it to have a different feel than some of others fics - melancholic but still hopeful.

Thanks so much for cheer-leading and nudging - it's been a joy sharing the journey with you!

This was fantastic. Oh boys. They are so broken (and broke), and yet there's still hope for them. Beautiful writing, too.

Thank you so much for reading and for your kind words - I'm beaming right now!

I'm so pleased you picked up on the hopeful element because while we know they'll support each other come hell or high water, I wanted to really push it to a limit and show how desperate they both are but how they still cling to each other.

Thanks again for stopping by. Take care :)

Thank you so much for your lovely comments and for stopping by!

I wanted to write a bitter sweet tale where the boys relationship is tested but still as strong as ever and I'm happy that it worked for you.

Thanks again, take care

I'm over the moon that you enjoyed it, being by first ever fic challenge I was beyond nervous about it.

Thanks so much for reading (and putting it in the spn newsletter) I really appreciate your support. Take care

From the first read, through each subsequent one, I loved the melancholy feel of this piece. But you also infused it with the hope the boys deserve and we readers need. And how can we not like the brothers being there for each other through thick and thin. *g* Personally, it's my favourite flavour of Winchester. A lovely, lovely piece. Well done.

Thank you, your comments always mean the world to me. You worked so hard on this and you really helped me through some freak outs so thanks again for that.

I'm so happy you picked up on the melancholy feel of the fic, I wanted it to be a bitter-sweet yet hopeful fic of the boys struggling through a difficult time but their relationship still shining through.

And I'm with you on the boys being there for each other no matter what - it's one of my top favourite things too, I just can't resist it (or get enough of it)!

Thanks again for everything - you really are a star! Take care
