Curiosity had me clicking to read the first chapter and next thing I knew I was at the end.

This is both heartbreaking and heartwarming. I love the bond you built between Sam and Dean and how connected they were able to remain. That Sam was able to retain his humanity through his relationship with Dean.
I wasn't sure about the pairing when I began but you really made it work in the context of the story.

The scene where John finds out about Sam was gutting because I think the one thing Sam would have loved, more than staying with Dean, was talking to his Dad one more time. Glad we got to see grown Sam but now I am way too intrigued by what he and Tessa are up to.

Gorgeous fic.
