I enjoyed this so much. Like all of your stories, it was wonderfully atmospheric and uniquely inventive. The idea of the fountain and the bodies patching over the thin place, and the idea that Dean was the right sort of soul for the job by virtue of his resurrection at Castiel's hands, was just the sort of intriguingly mystical take on things I often see in your work. Your stories always have so much depth to them. The feeling I got off this one was much like that of the 'Month of Open Doors' series (which now happily resides on my Kindle for frequent re-reading--along with 'Turn of the Wheel' of course). I also loved the perception that among all the other reasons Sam and Dean were out of step with each other in S4 was the age difference engendered by Dean's years in Hell. Sam's ambivalent feelings about Castiel were very subtly and well described, too.
