I absolutely never read gen, and never read anything from an outsider's point of view (I'm just here for the relaxing porn, lol). But I ended up here, somehow, and I'm so THANKFUL that I did, even if I'm wiping at my eyes and in need of a tissue, and cursing Kripke for his damned loose ends *wink*.

This is.. um. I don't have a word. Fabulous. Insightful. Lovely. Heartrending. I just loved it. Thank you.

Bwah! I love it when people say that--"I never read this genre, but..."--because I always worry about digging myself into a rut where only one sort of fan reads my fic because that's the only type it appeals to. So that fact that you read and enjoyed my gen story is extremely happy-making for me! Thank you so much, I'm just honored that you would give this a chance.

I was so happy with this idea, y'know, because there a story there that everybody just kinda skips over. Sometimes, writing for the boys, I forget that it's just the Winchesters who have no ties--other people still have mothers and fathers and aunts and work buddies and neighbors and postmen. So this thing hits me over the side of the head, and I'm like yes. Because it is, it is heartbreaking, what happened to Jess. Beyond the impetus for a show (even beyond Sam's loss), it was someone's daughter, someone's friend, someone's student, someone's customer who was lost that day.

Oookay. Getting ramblish there. Anyway, thank you very very much for your kind words, and it was completely my pleasure. I'm am so happy that you liked.

This is awesome. Heartbreaking, but awesome.

Thank you! I'm so very glad you liked! It was massively fun to write. And it's way cool to learn that heartbreak can be awesome. ;D

And, um, if you don't mind me asking, how'd you get here? Three new comments within an hour on a months-old story is a little bizarre! ^^;;

It was recced at one of the comms as an outsider POV story. I'm a bad, bad person because I can't remember who recced it, or which comm; but I know I clicked over to the rec page from a link on the newsletter under recs. And very worthy of my clicky-clicky.

That was such an interesting POV. Really fascinating -- thank you.

Wow, beautifully done outside POV. The boys really don't look at that shiny from the other side of the fence, do they? I kinda half-way wish they'd had Sam interact with Jess' parents on the show at some point, thought it's too late for that now. This would be the second best thing though! ;)

The crocuses are coming up, thick and purple like blood clots in the watery February light.

Very striking imagery here.
*memmed*
