I am so glad you reposted this, 'cause this is definitely one of my all-time favorite fics. Your writing is great in this because it is so vivid and moving. You suck the reader into the story so thorgoughly it is hard to find anything to technically critique because once you're sucked in you just can't pull yourself back out. This story grabs you and runs with you.
The heartbreak of Dean's recollection of winning the award and then piece by peice giving up his hopes of a future until there was none left except for his family, but nothing for himself... reading it makes me ache inside. You've just captured the desperation and walking tragedy and potential and goodness and purity that is Dean so perfectly.
So, thank you so very much for posting this again!! I am really glad I took the time to reread it!! *sniff* Makes me cry every time!! :D
