I read this before I saw the character death warning. Needless to say it took me completely by surprise. I was already crying halfway through, and I was a complete mess by the end. Seriously, incredible. Thank you for this flawless fic.

Well, I somehow managed to overlook “major character death”, and it turned out sudden and painful.
When I began to have suspicions it was too late. The story thrilled, engrossed me completely; I was reading it until the early morning, in tears. And at the same time I enjoyed the way you showed the atmosphere, the details which made all it seem so real, made me hold my breath, the tension renewing with every next scene-- enjoyed every single sentence.
Dear author, it was cruel but terrific. It’s truly brilliant work.
I think I should say thank you.

Hmm, I know I've done left a million comments, but I just have to retcon on something, because I only JUST NOW noticed the the author subtag on the banner for TISOH, and that I have in fact read much of your fic. I apologize for being stupid, but in my defense it was, like, four in the morning.

Nothing has changed. I love what you do.

I was suspecting what had happened but your writing, so rich with feelings and words made the reading so enjoyable. It's sad and at the same time, so wonderful.

amazing.

I also loved Castiel's poetry.

Ah son of a bitch that hurt like a mother.

I normally can't place the actor's faces to fics for some reason, I create my own persona for them while reading. But Cas' breakdown after Sam came, oh man, I can't stop picturing how good Misha would've played that.

This was a great experience thank you.
