Omg , that's a wonderful story ... I can't stop crying ...

Hey:)
I know its been years since your wrote this but I just came across it now and wanted to let you know I am currently wiping tears off my face. This was absolutely beautiful in a heartbreaking kind of way. The imagery, the language, everything fitted and it was lovely:)Thanks for sharing

Oh my god. Just... oh my GOD.

That is the saddest story.

Fantastic!

That was beautiful! You captured both Dean and Sam perfectly! The way you wrote Sam's unreponsive state, and Dean's pain at seeing his brother hurting and covered in soot was perfect!

Boy, you know how to wring out the emotion don't you? The way you described John the first night at Pastor Jim's, Dean putting it all together, Sam looking at him wrapped up in the blanket, just all of it. Girl this was amazing and so real. The right tools for the job? Perfect. I loved every line. I could "see" every line also. Thank you so much for this. Epic.

Aww, that was wonderful :)

Wow, that was beautifully painful! Well done.

This was excellent :)

I liked how you really emphasized all the emotion between the two and how it correlated with the fire back in 1983. Sam and Dean really know how to twist someone's heartstrings. :(

LOVE the line about the right tools for the job. GORGEOUS writing!

I've read a lot of 'Sam mourning the loss of Jess' stories but none captured this moment of fresh grief so purely.

How perceptive, to understand that the blood and ash were the last touch of Jess that Sam tangibly had left. Whether or not in his shocked state he could articulate that consciously or if it was his unconsciousness that had him frozen in that moment.

And I like how you made the realization of that come from Dean's memory of the last time the smell of smoke and blood had filled his nostrils 22 yrs ago.

Great POV tale.

Love the parallels drawn between the two fires. Gorgeous, emotion-filled writing.

Wow, this is great!
