this was heartbreaking to read, but I'm so glad I did. I love the way you've written Anna in this, how much she's changed since we first met her in s4 but how much of her human side still remains, despite the best efforts of Michael and the other angels. the imagery throughout, too, is simply stunning — from the opening where Anna is contemplating her human body (in tune with it like all the other angels with their vessels can never be), the light of the stained glass falling on Sam, Anna scattering his essence across space and time — all the way to the end, when she confronts Michael for the last time.

thank you for writing and sharing!
