Hello!

Please excuse this brain-splurge of an Ask, but your fic To Build A Home has been such a beautiful thing to read and I feel that, although I don't have exactly the same traumas and grief's as Dean and Cas, there is so much to relate to and admire in the way you weaved and crafted the process of their thoughts and grew their characters throughout some of the hardest moments of their lives. I have laughed, wept and ached alongside them throughout my whirlwind reading of TBAH this past week, and I just wanted you to know that I was so moved by your writing.

It's wonderful to read a full and colourful love story about Queer characters who I feel such a connection to in many different ways. Its affirming to see a story where our lives are not doomed even if we might have accepted such a fate because we didn't dare to dream that we deserve more.

I'm coming to terms with my grandparents nearing the end of their lives and, through your fic, recognising the humanity of my own parents who I have struggled to connect with. In some ways I feel more accepting of the necessity and inevitability of grief as a process. You have illustrated the good and the bad that life brings to be something beautiful. This work has been like a parent telling me that keeping who I am inside is only going to continue hurting me and those around me in the long run. I long for the relief of authenticity, and the catharsis that can be built alongside trauma, that you have so vibrantly portrayed.

I'm also in my final months of my degree at LSE and I find the way you write about imposter syndrome and adolescence so relatable and comforting. If Cas can do it, so can I! Pandemic be damned. I have also loved music all my life and, much like Dean, I write songs when there are things I can't seem to express any other way. I actually wrote a song inspired by TBAH from Dean's point of view, which has been helpful to process why I connect so much with this story. His agonising silences and his outbursts and his successes in TBAH are all breathtaking and soul-stirring. I feel like you've painted Cas and Dean to be simultaneously empathetic friends to me-with all their quirks and faults, and also world-wise unashamed and accepting father-figures.

The connections with the UK are also so lovely to read and have made Cas and Dean feel even more familiar to me at a time when much of my life feels tumultuous and hopeless. I have often sought these characters out to ground me. I didn't grow up with a faith but the way you write about it in relation to family, grief, and love is especially captivating. So I wanted to thank you for sharing something so vulnerable and emotionally pertinent with your readers.

I wish you so much joy, vibrance, and happiness in all your future endeavours. I hope you know that what you've created is good.

I realise this is incredibly gushy but I can't seem to get any of my uni assessments done until I get my thoughts out about your fic! I hope it's not too much.

Thank you for gifting us this AU from the depths of your magical brain box. I hope you're happy that now my whole body hurts every time I see Dean and Cas on Tumblr or Twitter. You did this. Congratulations.🙏

holy FUCK am i sorry this one took me so long to reply to. it's such a beautiful message as well i just am very terrible at replying to things but hi here i am and your message made me beam so thank you thank you for taking the time and being so kind. writing about dean and cas in the hardest moments of their lives helped me through some of the hardest of mine. it's so raw and beautiful knowing it has helped others too.

i really hope you can find the relief of authenticity (you phrased this so beautifully btw) and catharsis after trauma soon. i hope you've already found it and built it in small ways!

ALSO as this is probably from a few months ago i'm gonna assume you've finished up at LSE (apologies if i've got that wrong!) but i wanna say well done on making it through a degree at uni (and such a good one holy fuck im sure im safe in assuming the pressure was high in that place!!! congrats on making it im sure you smashed it). imposter syndrome is something i felt acutely as well so you're absolutely not alone there. and you did it anyway!!! and ahh obviously it must be very vulnerable but if you'd be happy sharing the song you wrote from tbah dean's point of view i'd love love love to hear it!! the fact that you wrote one makes me so happy.

i wish every joy right back at you. congrats again on your degree it's no small feat at the best of times, let alone during a pandemic and with other huge life complications along the way. i'm sure whatever you're doing now is beautiful and i hope you're finding so many happinesses along the way <3
