Thank *you*! And yeah, Dean's having a rough time, isn't he? The Commander pushes him a lot, but Dean's a smart guy. I'm sure he'll figure something out. ;-)

Also? Glad I could put my finger on a kink button of yours and thanks so much for the link to that other fic. I don't know LOTR much, but I'm always keen to see how kink is used in other fics. :)
