This is utterly gorgeous. This...this...well, just so much this. If only more gen could be this intense and perfect, without having to breach any slash lines. This fic made me feel so happy and calm and fulfilled, and you weave such an intricate and stable world with incredible ease. I'd love to know how you began writing. I imagine you had quite a journey to get to where you are now, which is a place of obvious skill.
I liked the details depicting Sam as a little bit off, due to painkillers, but still obviously happy. A Winchester life is a dangerous one, and seeing him out of it, but not panicking about the fact, was nice. Dean's understated protectiveness throughout was also a delight, particularly the part about his reaction to Sam getting his leg set. The cashier lady was a nice touch also, and I enjoyed all of Sam's reasoning out how he and Dean don't need labels to be who they are to each other.
