First of all, LOVE your icon! I'm totally there with you.
Second, this story hit me so incredibly hard. I'm not a big John-fan, so usually come down pretty hard on him, but I thought the way you had him react was absolutely perfect. It pulled so hard on my insides, imagining him finding them both laying there, wet and motionless, thinking the worst, then realizing Dean had saved Sammy's life. His guilt had to have been enormous, but his relief would have been bigger. It just really choked me up.
Then, your addition of the little drowned ghost boy was so subtle and elegant, I very nearly missed it the first time through. Infinitely sad and absolutely masterful.
Thank you so much for sharing this piece with us. It has become one of my all-time favorite SPN fics.
