All in all, I would say a very productive writing year, even if you didn't get to write as much as you wanted.
I agree that Terms of Service is your best story of the year. Where Your Love Begins traumatized me, but it also greatly increased my respect for you as a writer. Because of all your happy endings, I didn't believe you had it in you to write something like that, and I'm very glad I was proven wrong. Terms of Service and Where Your Love Begins are stories that give you what you need rather than what you want, and I can ask for nothing more from an author.
I think your Raphael was a near-perfect match to canon!Raphael. I'll go into further detail when I write the review for that story, but I think my next one will be for Forks in the Road.
Aw, thanks. I think it's that I wrote a lot in 2012 - over 300K if AO3 is to be believed! - so to have that word count drop by a third was a bummer.

I find Raphael and his motivations fascinating. Lucifer and Michael both have reasons for what they do - incredibly stupid, petulant reasons, but reasons - and Raphael has nothing to do with that little feud but does what he does anyway. He's a bitter, dark mirror for Cas to me in a lot of ways, especially since I write him with the book of Tobit Raphael in mind.
And yay, Forks! Very much looking forward to what you think.
