...i am speechless. this entire story has just taken my breath away. it's quite possibly one of the best Cas/Sam fics i've ever read. and i'd offer something more constructive but i frankly suck at that and everyone else has said it better than i ever could. |D suffice it to say, WOW. job well done, seriously. ♥

and i think you should listen to more Alice In Chains if it makes you crank out amazing writing like this, seriously.
