Okay, first... just... wow, this was just marvellous. It's taken me about two weeks, sneaking reading periods in at work, and just before I go to bed, but it's been worth it! This was truly epic, and I can't begin to think about how long it took you or how much love and detail went into it.
I'm not a massive fan of amnesia fics, it can be such an overdone cliche, but there was so much detail here, and the characterisations of the boys were so lovely, so enjoyable to read, that I got over my snobbery, and just went with it. I also have to say that I was so happy you didn't extend their escape, when I started reading that part, I thought I was in for another season 1 of Prison Break, and I wasn't sure if I could handle the tension, but luckily, they escaped pretty easily - so yay there :D
I guess the best way of describing this is that I thought it all worked, Sam and Dean seemed liked what I imagine Sam and Dean to feel like, the way they drifted into sex seemed real, and their reactions afterwards - Dean's guilt and Sam's anger - completely followed how I would imagine them reacting. And the ending... well, the ending was great, not too schmoopy, but just schmoopy enough ;-)
Great job, thanks so much for writing this!
I also have to say that your artist was great - I left her some feedback - but I really admired the way the art so perfectly fitted the story, so, kudos to both of you!
