Ohhhhh. This is such a gorgeous love story. Famous-yet-down-to-earth!Jared is so beautiful, and broken!Jensen so heartbreaking. I was cheering for both of them so hard, and there really were moments there where I didn't think they'd make it (which made the payoff all the sweeter when it DID happen). And JDM as Jensen's caring older step-brother was a revelation to me (not being a huge fan of JDM in fic)! You totally made me adore him. *g*

I also really loved the strong sense of place this story has, which gave it that added touch of realism. This really is so wonderful. *happy sigh*
