YAYS!! Thank you :)

I realised some time ago that I'm a percussion person. I LOVE cadences. If I'm not careful, my prose condenses until it's barely accessible!

Thank you! It all just hit me in the span of about ten minutes, and was all like, How about you write me down? :)

Dude.

... DUDE.

THIS IS SO FREAKIN GOOD. I mean, I actually... this is... Wonderful. This is one of the finest pieces of fanwork I've ever read, by anyone, about anything, anywhere. It's just one of the damn finest pieces of writing. And you KNOW how much I love your stuff anyway, but THIS? This.

The language and the rhythm are just aching, and the imagery!!! Good gracious. And I know I'm speaking from a place of Peak Fangirl right now, but seriously, this has me feeling... quite emotional ( ... )

DUDE. You, babe. YOU. :D You are so awesome. (Sorry not sorry ;p)

Peak Fangirl is a pretty good boost reading it though, along with where you are in the story; I was somewhere in that vicinity when I wrote it, so you know. It helps.

But yeah, I think Point of No Return was lingering in there somewhere to come out like this, because it's got all the ingredients right there, coming back to Sam as always. (Even if this was written before the progression of season six made it, no, really, no, there is something seriously wrong with Sam NOOOOOO, and got itself quietly Jossed. Oh well.)

Plus I think the Impala has always had her own voice in my head. (And, lbr, we all love Lisa but the woman in Dean's life is always going to be Baby, for better or worse.) Once she piped up, the other two did too, and like I said it went silly-quick from there. The intense loyalty bond that Dean gives and inspires, crossed with his errant knight tools-of-the-trade dependence on his steed/armour/sword, all just ... worked ( ... )

struggling to look normal in public, which as you know is like the highest compliment for fic.
I love this about us, as fangirls, that this is so true.

Might just be me, but I'm starting to think No Return is going to keep lingering over the whole shebang. It's just... such a high water mark, really. Stuff moves and changes about our characters, and who they are and what they're capable of, and where and how they're weak, and where and how they're strong, that... that lingers, y'know. It casts a long shadow over all that follows. So far for me at least, anyway.

This is where I need to learn gif-ing, so I can get and use one of the Sesame Street aliens... yiiipyipyipyipyipyip uh-HUH uh-HUH

in the context of the tragedy that's in the very structure of Show, there was a ... not hopefulness, that's the wrong ( ... )
