I spent several days reading your story by downloading the one-piece file onto my handheld device, and so leaving a comment of appreciation has been a matter of working back to this post.
First of all, it is one of the most engrossing longfics I've read in any fandom. The mental institution setup was fascinating, and I loved how you evoked the strange comfort of having all responsibility removed--the temptation to stay that both Sam and Dean felt. Your long, slow build to both the love between Sam and Dean and the big action (I'm avoiding comment spoilers here) was wonderful. The writing style seemed to perfectly match the drugged, and then increasingly-clear, mind state of each characer.
I was thrilled with the all of the post-institution scenes, and in particular the train. Holy crap, that was exciting!
I didn't read all your notes, but did you intend the title as a Pink Floyd reference? Because I was singing "Wish You Were Here" the whole time I was reading this story.
Anyway, I won't fangirl you to death here, but seriously, this was a marvelous, deeply-engaging read of the sort that I'm always hoping for in fandom and not finding all that often. Thank you so much! Really fine work.
