spn_j2_bigbang fic. I have a lot I could say about this fic -- the learning process, the editing process, what I think worked, what I think didn't, etc. -- so it's probably lucky that I don't have time to ramble. I'll leave it simply at "hope you enjoy!" and let the rest fall where it may. Much thanks to the two awesome artists who stepped up to provide cover/illustrations for this fic,

grayscaled and sarahtoga. They are both deeply, deeply cool, incredibly fun to work with, and their art is wonderful! You can find sarahtoga's illustrations here -- go and leave her feedback! And 
(Her LJ post is here!)
And now, the fic. To the best of my knowledge, there are no spoilers for the latter half of season two, but no guarantees up till that point. At some point I'll post about the Russian folktales that served as inspiration (or direct influence), but that time is not now. The title is from e.e. cummings.

Thank you for posting such a good piece of work in all it's chapters! I always enjoy reading stories that are good and long, contain a plot involving the supernatural and myths and most importantly slash.
You've turned my otherwise boring day in office into a good one. I'm going to read it all over again...
Cheers,
Serena
It is just brilliant. I love how you took the Baba Yaga fairytale and made it work with 'Supernatural', weave it through Sam and Dean, and made it something new, something amazing.
I love this so much.
Thank you for writing and sharing. I thought it was strong all the way through and I realize that can be a real challenge working with this length.
I liked the way you wove in the case and how interesting it was - I'm a fan of folktales and this was a real treat.
{{{{hugs you in thanks}}}} <--I'm so doing that in person next time I see you. Prepare to be embarrassed. :)
At first, Sam thought the house was on stilts; then one of the stilts moved.
The house took a step closer.
"Dude," said Dean, "You have got to be kidding me."
This was probably one of the most beautiful and most believable wincest-fics I ever read.
I loved the way you portrayed Sam and especially Dean (the dork to end all dorks ^_~) and the way you explored their fragile relationship and all those unsaid feelings. And you even had an actual plot! *_* It was so angsty and sad, funny and cute and really exciting - all at the same time.
It was soooo beautiful - I have to go now and recommend it to all my friends.
i was actually scared of the baba yagas when they first appeared in the story, something I don't often find with fanfic, but it was wonderfully done.
