Thanks so much! That's exactly what makes this story so pleasurable and satisfying for me to write. <3

Horrible to read, because of how bad the situation is.

It hurt. Even dying, that spark was bright and powerful. It was like trying to hold a match as it burned down to the fingers. It was like trying to cradle a drop of molten glass.

Love the visceral nature of this, and your writing in general! Like the mention of the rain being hard enough to bounce off the Frisbee in a previous chapter, it really makes the story real for me.

Castiel wasn’t suffering just because he’d been hurt and injured. The trap hadn’t been a one-time hit. This was ongoing.

It was still killing him.

Holy moly!

There was no room in him for embarrassment, for shame at his weakness. He only knew that he was tired, he hurt, and he had been through a horrible experience. In the moment, when Castiel was depending on him, he could not allow himself to feel the terror and grief and anguish. So he felt it all now when he was safe, surrounded by his family in a clean, warm hospital room.

This characterisation is brilliant, as is the psychology.

Thank you for

Thank you so, so much for this lovely comment. <3 It means a lot to me that you are reading and responding to this story. You draw out a lot of stuff I try to pack into my writing.

This story was pretty difficult for me to write, too, especially the part where Jimmy has to drag himself to the road. It all felt very real and visceral to me. I'm glad that came through in the reading.
