i hope me voicing my thoughts didn't sound like i was trying to be prescriptive... i dislike people doing that.

but yay for dean.

My heart is permanently bruised for Dean, though, not being able to see any of it. :(

exactly so! he is ever so slightly more vulnerable. he doesn't have the reassurance of a look as well as a touch. his imagination must be filling in the blanks - and who knows how/what!

i do love the thought of you as seamus. with the big heart to want them both.

i'm enjoying watching this unfold.
