His jacket is tossed into the backseat of the Impala as soon as he climbs out of the car, and ten minutes later, he’s stripped off the sweaty flannel and is down to his Metallica t-shirt. Sammy starts complaining—there’s no case in Dillon; this was supposed to be a quick stop for gas and a meal. But first there was the best pie Dean’s ever tasted, and then there was Lyla.
She looks fragile and tiny, but there’s a survivor’s fire in her eyes and her chin is tilted imperiously. She’s flipping through CDs at the music store, and as he combs through the ₵25 cassette box—there’s a little too much Patsy Cline and not nearly enough the Clash—he watches her. Princess type, but the clock’s struck
Dean Winchester is no prince, but he recognizes strength when he sees it, even if it’s masquerading as a lost little girl.

Princess type, but the clock’s struck midnight, the carriage has turned into a pumpkin, and the glass slipper is nowhere to be found. I mean it seriously. I love love love how you wrote Lyla even if you're not sure where you stand with her or not because love or hate her, the girl is as you said a survivor and I think that's the key here and of course this is beautiful and I get a serious case of happy whenever you crossover because you do it exceptionally well.

I'm very, very glad you enjoyed it, especially considering that you're a Lyla fan. I was anxious about doing her justice, even if I'm still not completely one-hundred-percent behind her. I feel much better now.
And I probably wouldn't have even considered crossovering if it weren't for you, so thank yourself for that.
Thanks again!
