A few months back I discovered your fic through the Merlin fandom, and then once again in the Supernatural fandom, and I really love how you've tied in Filipino culture in both fandoms.

I'm half-Filipino myself and grew up in Canada but I've visited and lived in the Philippines several times since I was young so this story really resonated with me. It made me think of understanding Tagalog as a child, which I still think of as a language that soothes me and being laughed at when I tried to speak it myself and the strength of the people in that country. The funny thing is that I'm going on a plane tonight to visit the Philippines so it's a little fitting that I read this today.
