Okay okay okay. This is not going to be very coherent.
The slow introduction of the facts is so well done, yet the beginning isn't so confusing I can't engage--it helps that you sketch out such a vivid scenario right from the start. I haven't read the book so I don't know how much you've used as inspiration, but the whole vessel thing? So so gorgeously creepy, and the fact that they all have Dean's eyes is such a nice touch--and oh my god the ending when we find out what happened to Dean, I had already started tearing up when Jimmy was walking along the road but when he walked into the house that's when I lost it because Cas and also Jimmy dsf;flaj the sense of loss is so powerfully conveyed throughout the whole fic--the way Jimmy's dependent on Cas (waiting for him, he keeps saying/having to say) but also not and I'm sorry I can't be more articulate but this is amazing.
I do kind of wish we had gotten more of a glimpse at what happened but it works really well the way you've set it up so maybe I'll just passively-aggressively suggest that a timestamp could be a really good idea. If you feel like it. It would be good.
