Okay, I'm a sap. I liked it, and I'm glad it ended the way I thought it was, even though the name change was jarring. I'm really really glad it ended with a world where they were hunters, because it was just awkward wrong otherwise, even if they preferred it so.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That was a great, satisfying ending, which not a lot of fics achieve (I'm still annoyed at the ending of Thursday's Child, with the cheetos, and that's my favorite longfic). I realized, just like in WIAWSNB, there's a boatload of people dying with Sam and Dean as nonhunters. And the subtle tonal shift of Dean 1 and Dean 2, Dean 2 was so much happier and content.

Hair of the dog: is it wrong that my beef with a fic is that there are fireflies when lilacs are blooming? Because three months so did not pass between the two. Fic, get your flora and fauna right!

I totally see why Sam didn't want his reality to change--but Dean was a bit aimless and very very normal in that life. It would have been nice to see Sam in the new reality. But at least we know Jess was still with him.
Fireflies are seasonal? I had no idea. I wonder if they're seasonal in Jamaica too.

They're always around, but their mating season when they glow is only a couple of months in the summer.

Because books.
Yes! Summer is firefly season. They're weirdly aggressive this year, too -- they keep flying right into me. They were never hard to catch, but they didn't used to ask for it.

Maybe the female population is low, and the guys are branching out. They want you, Amy.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh Amy, thanks for that rec.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
This is lovely
Quite. And with bonus My Chem mention.
