Hey, remember me? :D

I'm just halfway through the fic but I gotta tell you, I fell in love with it at like... the second sentence. You're a master. Really. Going back to ready.

Of course I remember you. :) Glad you're enjoying it!

When I added this to memories, I put it under "S8 Finale - Therapy Reading" = )

[whit_merule]

Hah! It was definitely therapy writing for me. Very much fix-it fic. With cuddles.

[snowish_eostre]

Yes, it’s trauma coping for all of us! : ) Only autumn can help us. Or so do hope - almost dreading the start of the next season. And too bad that every time I open the radio and Adele’s “Skyfall” starts to play, it rips the wounds open all over again. Have to love the video, but damn that person who made it.

I think you melted my brain and my heart.

[whit_merule]

Sorry about that. Hope it's a nice melt! :)

This was really beautiful with some nice funny moments, some really hot sex, and Castiel being adorably human and working out his feelings with Dean and Sam. Oh, sigh. Why can't the series be like this?

[whit_merule]

Thank you! I would love it if the series went like this - well, not necessarily the sex (though I wouldn't say no!) but with the emotional romance and cuddles, but sadly I doubt it will happen (UNTIL THE LAST FEW EPISODES OF SEASON TEN OKAY).

"Only, it wasn’t just Sam and Dean against the world now, was it? Somewhere along the way their dysfunctional little always-yours-always-mine thing had expanded into a trinity."
- 100% Agreement. Thank you for accentuating this.

"Sam still looked at Castiel sometimes like he had right at the beginning, in those first few moments when he’d thought Castiel was a saviour. Like he was the one who got to decide whether Sam was worth anything or not. "
- I remember 'those first few [s04] moments' too. And Sam's expression there was excatly how you described it here.
*nods**nods*

These few sentences above are just an example for all those ones, I'm not extra marking, but I've I picked them because that are definitely my favourites.
So thank you very much, dear, for this affecting, this heartwarming and sexylicious finale aftergasm of yours.
Your brilliant choice of words [especially your description of Our Boys umm... complicated relationship] made me nod in total agreement. It felt so good to read how you pictured Dean's & Sam's

[whit_merule]

Heh, aftergasm. I like that appellation. I shall keep it and cuddle it and call it George. :)

Thank you!
