On canon: It's good to hear that the canon parallels worked for you.
On the prompt: Yeah ... the prompt was ... umm ... very hilarious in its bizarre drama, but I definitely tried to keep this in the spirit of the prompt as much as possible.
On succubi: Well, there are certainly some things I have thought to explore, but we'll see.
On Sam's origin: It's intentionally left ambiguous. I'll leave it at that for now. But I'd actually say that Sam's reference to himself as a "bastard" has less to do with the traditional "born out of wedlock" definition and more to do with being a "mixed-blood" or "half-breed", a person of mixed heritage, neither fully human nor fully Grigori. Too, I get the distinct impression that "bastard" is just a term that's been thrown at him a lot, so I think he's internalized it.
On incest guilt: I'm glad that twist was intriguing to you, because the whole idea of Sam trying to process his relationship with Dean in some twisted comparison with his relationship with Kane was really interesting for me to explore. And will hopefully continue to be as I add more stories to this verse.
Thank you so much for leaving detailed feedback. I really appreciate it!
