This was breathtakingly beautiful, heartbreaking. ♥

God, there's something lovely about how simple their relationship & lives are. I love how intimately Castiel knows Dean, thoughts and all; how he still takes care of him, even after everything ended. & how much they love each other, how tragic they are.

It's painful to see Dean like that, so desperate for Robert & Bridget to still be there. It's like he still can't lose the instinct to hunt, investigate.

The paragraph about Dean taking pictures of themselves & leaving them behind for others to tell stories about them left me speechless. It was especially poignant, a bit bittersweet considering how they won't be around to hear them. It was my favorite part. :)

I'm gonna continue my fangirling & say: I love, love, love your prose. It's incredible how perfectly you string words together to evoke so many emotions. I wish I had that kind of skill.

♥ ♥ Thank you, darling.

I don't even know what to say, your comments just always make my heart fluttery and happy. Can I just sit here and smile at you because I am useless with this kind of thing?

I like the idea of Dean not losing his instinct to hunt--I see it as so much a part of him. But I can also see him moving on.

I'm so glad you liked that part! I was worried about it, that it was too much, but I'm really glad you got that much joy out of it! (I most certainly did and it's my favourite part too :D)

Fangirl away! Again, thank you (forever and ever and ever, I mean it). ♥ ♥ I'm so happy you enjoyed and your wonderful feedback keeps me going. Just gah, thank you :D :D

for all of its bittersweet qualities, this story is like a balm. i don't know how else to describe it.

i lovelovelove the photo theme. i'm a sucker for that kind of thing in writing for exactly the reason you show here - the potential for creating entire stories out of them, and also for the stories behind them.

[devilyouwere]

I think you describe it perfect enough :D I'm glad the schoomp is not sickening, at least.

ajfjas, oh god, thank you. I was so worried about the photo theme and thought I had crossed the line and this was just plain ridiculous, but it felt so wonderful, so I kept it anyway. So I am very glad you enjoyed it! ♥

I have every reason in the world to cry right now. Because I died a lot of times before you updated this and because of this.
Somehow I'm starting to feel this story like The Little Prince, and I hope you know what I mean by that.
I didn't remember it was Canada at all, but I don't think that ever mattered because I remember all that needs to be remembered.

[devilyouwere]

Oh no! Don't cry :( Then I will be sad. Hopefully, I'll be updating more often now. I fear that this has faded into obscurity. But thank you for sticking around!

I don't think I do (not completely), but Google will save us all!

I think it's only important to me that it's based in Canada because I live there and the places I describe are places I've been in my province/even lived.

Thank you so so much for reading and I'm glad (I hope?) you enjoyed it ♥

Oh, wow. The intimacy in the way you right these two is just, guh. Stunning. It's all muted colours and closeups and even when they're not touching or talking it's there in every word, something linking them together. Awesome stuff.

[devilyouwere]

Oh, gosh! *flaps hands* Thank you so much! :D I'm always wary stepping into schoompy because I don't know when I cross the line, but thank you for reassuring me that it's exactly how I want it. ♥ I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
