I'm so glad you enjoyed the story! I love road trips too, so it was a pleasure to just go inside that world with all those little details that make up a trip. Thank you so much for your lovely comment.

And re the rating. I've had someone else say the same thing, and I've thought about changing it. But I've never really seen a chart that says, hey, this amount of sexual activity equals this rating. At least not in fanfic world, so I went with what seemed most appropriate. After all, if it's slash, and the pairing is Sam/Dean, there's going to be sex, regardless of the rating. And, also, the mods of the big bang accepted the rating, so I'll probably stick with it. But I appreciate the input; maybe somewhere out there is that rating guide.
