ok but literally i had a reminder set for your dcbb and i downlaoded it as soon as u put it up and i was so apprehensive going into it bc i hate mcd, but i was like, nhxxie wrote ad astra so i must read this even tho i know it’s gonna make me cry // did i cry? YES, like from the beginning, i was crying almost constantly and i was broken and dying by the time i read “I didn’t know something so new could look so tired.”

the art pieces you chose were amazing, and ugh, UUUGH the story’s connection to “too much heart” // i dont know if you were intending that but for cas to suffer from the lack of a complete, big heart, but at the same time have too much heart as we know in seeing all the beauty and being so wise and i dont know i am writing this message and i started crying again /////

ah

i dont even know what to say

thank you nhxxie

for creating this piece

i love it so much

Belle, I’m so grateful that you saw that comparison. That was the entire point of Cas both in canon and in this piece - he is always greater than what his limitations pushes him back to be. He who has the less to give has the greatest generosity. And Dean is there to make sure he replenishes the love Cas gives away so willingly.

Thank you for all the exceptions you have chosen to give this piece, Belle. I know it took great effort and I am eternally grateful that you have chosen this story to give that exception to. Thank you so much!
