This may not be the most coherent feedback, because I loved this so much - the way you love things that are a mix of joy and pain because they move you so damn much!
- I read the prologue and had to steal myself for the rest - so worth it, but as hear rending as I expected in many places.
- things that made me just so freaking happy: the hoodie, the first hug in the Impala!, the touching, kitten!!!! I also loved the neighbor and the reminder that there are some genuinely loving good people in this world.
- Sam wanting so badly to give Dean what he wants - whether it's breakfast or the Sam that Dean remembers. How could Dean (and the reader) not love new Sam too?
- your Dean voice is exceptional in this. I felt like I was Dean reading this - the broken hollow shell with only the hard, less attractive parts of Dean remaining, to the vulnerable, loving Dean he comes back to. Not for one single second did I get pulled out of this. The depth and desperation and intensity of Dean's love - the fact that there are no lines he won't cross - well that hits every emotional kink I have.
- you killed Sam - When Dean found out about the journals - I realized, like Dean, that the Sam he'd known was gone for good. I love that you owned that - you made them (and the reader) earn their HEA - it was all the sweeter for that. And thanks for giving us the fact that in spite of Sam's memory loss - he is still in personality the person Dean remembers
- I don't care what happens in show - because I can come read this again (and I will and here will be another layer now that I know Sam can't really remember) - the boys deserve a HEA (even if they don't think they do) - so this, gave me one I can have any time I want! *hugs*
- Dean's memories are so strong - a fundamental part of who he is and it rig
- the end - I cried, That juxtaposition of the photo meaning nothing to Sam and the reminder that Sam that lives only in Dean's memories now (which are such a strong and vital part of who this Dean is)- I'm tearing up again just thinking about it.
