I've no idea why I've been writing so much as of late, guys, but I imagine it'll slow down at some point soon. In the meantime, apologies for spamming you with stories, eh?

Thank you very much for reading, and for the note! :D

I sure hope you don't stop writing so much any time soon, because this was just gorgeous, so full of feeling that comes through with aching clarity. Dean's need and fear and grasping at the little bits of happiness he won't let himself count on, and Sam right there, even when Dean can't always see him, steady now. Thanks for sharing :)

Thank you, very much, for the awesome note! I'm so glad that you enjoyed this one, and also that you don't mind the current semi-deluge. :D

Sam right there, even when Dean can't always see him

It's funny, I think, the ways in which they are often blind to each other, considering how each makes up a large part (if not all) of the other's world. I'm so happy that worked here!

Oh my god. Wow. This is painfully beautiful, and just singing with so much emotion. I loved her original, and remember feeling such a theme of cold from it--so I like how this is counterpoint to that by instead seeming to be cold vs. warmth. And hers at the end had a feeling of Dean being Sam's anchor, but in yours instead of there's this feeling of everything being transitory and that loss will eventually happen, and thus can't be anchored and kept forever. It's definitely an achy piece, especially at the end.

He will not let himself imagine that he will have Sam forever.

If he did, it would hurt that much more when he realized his mistake.

Ah, you do pack a punch. I really *felt* it when I read that bit.

You are so good at what you do.

Thank you so much! I'm so happy that you enjoyed this, especially how it worked as contrasted with the original, and I really appreciate your saying such lovely things about it.

I miss that aspect of the first season, and I'm so glad that it came through in this, that it worked.

Thank you, again! ♥

This was beautiful - I loved it. And for whatever the reason may be that you're writing so much, I like it.

Thank you so much! I'm so glad that you enjoyed it. :D

(And thank you, too, for not minding the sudden influx.)
