Oh, wow! What an unexpected treat, and what a nice way to start the day!
I do so enjoy the boys' interactions in this fic. It feels very true to where they are in Season 7. Sam, being willing to admit, even offer, truths that he would have hidden in prior years to protect Dean and himself from having not-completely-humaness pointed out and dealt with. It's like Sam's pennance, being ultratruthful and just internally cringing, waiting for the blow. And Dean, in Season 7, taking the revelations and consciously trying not to overreact or attack Sam, being worthy of the truthiness. Just wonderful. Love this interaction in your fic as it shows how much they've grown and how much they've come back together as a team: an even stronger team than they were even at their best in past years 'cause of the trust. :-)
