Okay, so it's kind of bad that this has been in my inbox for a while now without me reading it, but so goes my life. *shrug*

I can't even BEGIN to tell you how much I loved this fic! I was exhausted and had every intention of going straight to bed when I got under the covers at midnight, but two-and-a-half hours later, I've read the entire piece and downloaded the soundtrack and ogled the beautiful, beautiful art. I loved that everybody was basically a hippie, and just cool. I loved that Jensen, while very much broken and angsty (just the way I like him!), was not ultimately ENTIRELY controlled by his fears and traumas. He managed to make the first steps towards recovery and acceptance, largely by himself (with some damn good motivation...SEX!). And I loved that they were both ARTSY and SMART! It makes me SO HAPPY, and gives me hope for my future prospects!

So, all in all, THANK YOU! I will rec this to anyone I can find!
