Author's Notes:

1.) This story is set in an alternate reality where Jared is 14 and Jensen is 23. I've also changed their birthdays, the names of their family members, and where they're from.

2.) I've enabled anon commenting. If you've got some concrit for me, I'd LOVE to hear it. If anyone is brave enough to leave some concrit of my story, and you don't agree with it, please don't attack the person who left it. You may, of course, respectfully disagree or agree with other commentors. Discussion is awesome.

3.) To my artist, kingsblkdragon: You are amazing. Your art has captured so much of this story, from the overarching emotions to the tiniest details. I love it to death, and I only hope my writing lives up to it. Go check it out you guys! Art!

To my beta, charmedstrange1: DOLLFACE, you are awesome! This experience was a positive joy because I had you helping me with it, being so generous with your time, your energy, and your love. This thing is indescribably better because it had the benefit your eagular eyes and your ingenius suggestions. Your enthusiasm kept me going when I was drowning in ennui, and, in all seriousness, I believe I shall ♥ ♥ ♥ U 4 EVA.

4.) I know next to nothing about the legal system. Likewise, law enforcement agencies. Likewise, modern medicine. All facts about these things in this story are quite wrong. Please be prepared to suspend your disbelief, and imagine that this story is set in a world that is similar to, and yet totally different from, our own.

Dearest, I am SO excited and happy and proud for you that this is up at last! It's been a long, twisty ride and I'm happy that all your hard work has come to fruition. It's a dark, dark subject you tackle here and I am in awe of your bravery and your fortitude. It was truly my pleasure to work with you. &hearts &hearts &hearts my dear. ;) K.

Thank you, my love. You already know, of course, that it was equally my pleasure to work with you. Perhaps even more my pleasure? Let's fight about it!

And yet, for the sake of our friendship, I don't want to fight.

Perhaps we should just hug it out? *smiles enticingly*

Aha! Now you've fallen into my evil trap!

*hugs you hard*

(And if that doesn't scare everyone else away, I don't know what will.) (Maybe tentacles?)

*HUGS* Yay! I really love this story. It's dark but so well written. I hope others enjoy it as much as I have. ILU!! It's been great working with you.

[mya-rofki.livejournal.com]

ILU you too!!! Thank you again for the beautiful pictures!!! *HUGS BACK*

Oh my God. This touched me so much. Will there maybe be a sequel? Huh?

[mya-rofki.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

Please don't hold your breath. :) I'm terrible at writing what I want to. By the same token, I'm not ruling anything out.

Hi, I was wondering if you have a single text file? Cause I'd like to read the story on my ebook reader...
Thanks :D

[mre-quecky.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, I loved this story! I used up a lot of tissues on the read, but it was so well written and emotional, loved it!

[mya-rofki.livejournal.com]

Hi! First of all, sorry it's taken me such a shamefully long time to respond to your comment. :(

But secondly, Thank you so so much for taking the time to comment. :) Especially, for taking the time to read this story and then comment, despite there being no single text file of it currently available. I'm really glad you enjoyed it, though sorry for making you use up all those tissues.

[mre-quecky.livejournal.com]

Oh, don't worry about the tissues :D I like me some good crying once in a while :)

[mya-rofki.livejournal.com]

Hey, so, I know you already read it, because you are awesome, but if you'd still like a single file for some reason, I finally got this thing up on Archive of Our Own. : ) It's right here: http://archiveofourown.org/works/267229

Congratulations! Your story has been recced at spn_littlebro!


♥ Hope you are doing well, sweetheart. ♥

[mya-rofki.livejournal.com]

Aw! OMG! You are such a sweetheart! Thank you so so much for the rec!!!!

(And, yes, I am doing very well, actually. I had to part from my darling internet and SPN fandom for a little while, due to some totally AWESOME travelling I was doing all summer, but I'm back! And now I get to catch up on everything I missed including four episodes of Show, and... apparently, you writing amazingly long and angsty hurt!Sam fic?!...OMG...*flappy hands of excitement* Oooooo. Plan for today: Finish responding to comments. Gather tissues. Watch epis. Read fic. Evaluate mental state. (If necessary, Drink.)

Hope you are doing well too, &hearts my dear &hearts ?
