Oh, yes. This. Every word of it, right to Kripke's ears, please. So perfect!

woman, your way with words. i swear. glad you're in the major you're in at school -- you're going to go tear the world apart.

♥ this is so much fun. it's like its own series and mythology!

I would kill for a last episode like this. Racing up to the showdown, seeing Sam saying 'yes' and then 'no'. Fadeout. And then, Gracie telling her story. With the grave-digging licenses, the salt line in the foundations, the park benches and the birds. With two figures standing there together, merging into one. I cannot imagine a more perfect ending!

Even though it will probably make me cry even more than this did :)

Aw so tear-jerking, but it brought a smile to my face that Sam and Dean are still together even in death, as they should be. Beautiful story!

Poignant and gorgeous.
