*chuckles* You can tell you've watched too much SPN when...Sam getting strangled at least once is par for the course. LOL
All joking aside I'm glad you enjoyed reading the story and I was impressed on some of the thngs you picked up on.
Where Bill Harvelle is concerned, I realize that it breaks from canon to have him alive here but it was a choice I made due to the time period I set it in. In Victorian days it was considered unusual and against etiquette for a woman to walk the streets unaccompanied by at least a female friend or relative let alone own property and run a boarding house that's mostly occupied by men. For Ellen to have run the boarding house solo even though she would technically be a widow it would've made it seem more like a brothel and less like an extended stay motel which is what was needed.
The use of the Fae and the two Courts was something Daunt and I brainstormed together when we hashed out wanting to essentially reboot the established canon into this Victorian setting. It was kinda a WWKD (What Would Kripke Do lol) moment and since with S1 he was heavily tapping into American folklore we did the same here with English folklore which led to the Fae.
Thanks again for reading and keep your eyes peeled, there's definitely more stories to come out of this particular !Verse. *grins*
