This is just all kinds of awesome. I followed a link from storyfinders, and this has been haunting me every since. I love your take on them as feral. Love the pack mentality, love the clarity of voice in how Ellen sees them and how you use that to tell the story.
What I keep coming back to when I read this (which I've done 3 times in 24 hours now, like it THAT much) is how awesome and haunting the whole dynamic is ... and how much I'd love to see this taken mainstream rather than told as SPN AU. There's a soul to this that seems to beg for their own story, told outside the confines of the Supernatural universe. I'd love to read about this man and his boys running semi-feral through a near-future landscape.
But mostly what I wanted to say was, this is AWESOME. Thanks so much for writing it.
