Fandom Reactions
"Set pre-series, this is a beautifully-woven look at the Winchesters that explores in particular Sam's pov on the dangers of what they do. The cadence of the writing, and the exploration of Sam in the role of family protector, will linger with you."[2]
"Dang. This is awesome. I never expected the direction this was going, simply enjoyed the imagery you painted well enough to take the ride. I loved the voices of teenaged Sam and Anna, as well, so very real-seeming and believable. But the ending? Just ouch. Wonderfully unique little story that touches the heart. Thank you for sharing!"[3]
"just... wow. I love the idea of delicate threads being the only thing holding together Sam's life, and then he rips them apart at the seams... only to sew it back together again."[4]
