oh my god i don't know where to start

also i might be a little teary and incoherent right now

always love the way you write jimmy, especially when he's angry and bitter to start but comes to a sort of resignation that just feels so right for whatever circumstances you've put him in. so good.

i kind of knew what was coming, thanks to the summary&c, but the slow build made the ending such a PUNCH, jesus--the fact that jimmy was helping cas let go by working with a reaper was a revelation, god, and then the sad tension throughout was gorgeously done (especially when cas brings dean back and for a split moment he can see cas but then, no, and i cried)

one thing i really enjoyed was how you made cas into a different kind of ghost, playing with the whole angels don't have souls thing so therefore if they can become ghosts, their rules would be somewhat different and ahhh i just want to roll around in this for a good long while

and it's so gentle and respectful towards everybody, which is such a treat - thank you for writing this!

Thank you so much for this! I know a fic like this isn't e^eryone's cup of tea so I'm glad it worked for you! Writing Jimmy will always be my fa^ourite thing to do. <3

Aww, okay, you got me to cry at the ending. I was really hoping for a Dean/Cas/Jimmy happy ending, but no.

This was amazing, and I think you did a brilliant job with it. I am glad I found it. Thank you for this bittersweet story.

I don't think I'm capable of writing a happy ending. Just picture them all e^entually ending up in the same Hea^en together! <3

Thanks for commenting, I'm glad you enjoyed.

I love the ending. It's sad, but we know what happens to ghosts in this world. Awesome!

[thunder_nari]

Thank you! <3

Okay, I know this was sad and messed up but damn I wanted my ot3 to somehow have a happy ending T_T Oh man Jimmy sent by Tessa to be an intermediary between Dean and Cass, and the stubbornness of angel ghosts. (Imagine the trouble Zach's reaper must have had.) So many things I loved about this fic.

He's no different to any other desperate ghost out here. Except now he knows what he needs to let go of.

THIS LINE.

lol! Maybe I'll break trend next time and write a happy ot3 for you. ;) Lord knows the boys would like it too. <3

PLEASE DO XD *sends eternal gratitude, internet hugs, etc*

Thank you for a great and moving read. I particularly enjoyed how the situation reflected on the whole vessel buiseness. Even alive Castiel, as an angel, is not able to interact with Dean directly and needs a conduit, his vessel. Your story beautifully played with this aspect and brought it in clear and poignant focus. Thanks again for writing!

Thank you so much for reading! Castiel and Jimmy, they're just so gorgeously tragic together. <3
