I really enjoyed the way you wove the theme of fire throughout the piece. Dean seemed very much in character-it would make a lot of sense that he would hate fire so much.

Question: I understood the end to mean that Sam got Dean out of hell by doing a ritual that destroyed the world. Is that right?

Very well written story! I am a sucker for happy endings, so see - you made me cry :(... But I did like it, really! Great, splendid way with words, and truly, truly well wortd to read! :) - Can you arite another one? (and this time save them both?) :)
