Imagine my surprise when I am reading the first part of this story and there is a mention of Babes With Blades, the theater company I founded 11 years ago! We are, in fact, still going strong, and you must come see our fall production at the Viaduct. It will be fantastic.

One note, however - we spell our name with a capital "W" in With. If it's not too much trouble, could you make that correction?

Can't wait to read the rest!

OMG - I LOVE this fic.
I can´t even describe how much.
So soft and beautiful and bittersweet. Like a poem.
And Jared - and Jensen ... made of awesome. *___*

This was a really great story, absolutely beautiful. This one spoke to me. I was glad to see they got their happy ending.

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!

Loved this story. It was really great. The way how Jensen finally managed to overcome his agorophobia was very believable. *hugs* Thank you for giving me some hours of very pleasant reading.

Hi. After an extended drought of good Gen SPN fiction and a post by Janissa11, I did something I never thought I would - I decided to try J2 AU fiction. Well, this was the first story I read and I am so happy I did. I am now on a quest to find all the J2 AU out there. I really loved this story. Thank you for writing it.

That was so satisfying. It had just the right mix of humor, pain, romance and tenderness. I just finished and that last quote made me tear up and feel ridiculously happy at the same time. I only wish it had been twice as long so I could read more of it. ^_^
