This story is so freaking amazing that it left me in a ball of goo devoid of all speech capability.  I have read it 4 times through and it's taken me a week to formulate even a modicum of coherency so that I could tell you just how much I love this.  Your characterizations are absolutely spot on-- I adored both Seamus and Dean.  It ended perfectly, but left me desperately wanting more.  The integration of the postcards into the text was impressive and a great addition.  I especially love Seamus's at the end.  I wish I knew what was going through Dean's mind during all of this-- especially the last few sections, i.e. Seamus choking Alfonso til the end!  Would you consider a companion piece w/ Dean's POV?  Anyway.  Just had to tell you how much I absolutely 100% LOVE and adore this fic.  One of the best fics I've read without question.  I really hope you write more, because this was stunning! 

Author's Response: Thank you for your comment. I'm very glad that you liked the story, especially that the characterizations work for you. There'll be no companion piece from Dean's POV, though. The story has been told and I feel that it's finished.
