Yay! I'm so happy you posted these. Thanks for the embarrassment of riches, heeee. I really like what you said here: "it was actually a sentence that made me want to give Sam a punch and hold Dean tight and never let him go."

I have this feeling so often! Not the Sam punching and the Dean hugging, necessarily (though I've felt that, too, lol) but being able to read a single sentence and just have that be something where I think, I'm going to remember this forever. It's amazing what people can do in a single turn of phrase. ♥


Also, I thought I'd let you know that the subject line still days "February" rather than "April"~ :P <----- I TOTALLY DID THAT TOO, you know I did. XD
