Oh, wow! I really loved this - Sam's message was so beautiful, so full of meaning, but also bittersweet. I can most certainly see Alec taking the lead, especially because he's a Winchester, and I love how Gem decides it's time Max earned her rank.
ooooh, man, I sooo wish there was a sequel to this! with Sam alive, maybe meeting up with Alec again... Regardless, this was really, really good :)
Hugs,
