Why this must be read: I missed the cross-over day but I'm posting anyway. Please don't hold this against me, but I don't really like SPN. As a result, I have watched maybe a handful of episodes, but this story is so terrific I am almost tempted to check out the reruns. It's told from John's POV. He's doing his thing, chasing down the evil spirits, when he meets up with Marita, who is being haunted by the ghost of Alex Krycek. This story is about the intersection of love and loss in two very different lives, and one powerful meeting of minds, bodies and--spirit.

Thank you for the rec! That was a nice thing to see this morning!

You're welcome! It's a great story. I was very moved by the scene where Krycek enters. Very powerful and surprising, for me, because he's not a character I care about. He's a great character, but not one I'm used to having empathy for. You really sold me on that relationship, too. And on John. He's another terrific character.
