I have been waiting ALL WEEK to read this, because I wanted to have time to sit down and enjoy it all in one go. Now that I have: *happysigh*
JIMMY.
You've fleshed him out so wonderfully here. The details you've given his life pre-Cas--his 14-year-old self's joyriding escapade, the breakfast scene Rahmiel commandeers in his dream, his history with and love for Amelia, the story about teaching Claire constellations (and I LOVE the detail of her turning around and deciding to be a pirate *g*)--make him feel very real, ground him as a *person*. Combine that with the generally sensible way he deals with the more fantastical circumstances he finds himself in, and the way he relates to Dean and Cas--especially his understanding of what Dean and Cas have and the reasoning behind his willingness to let them have it, despite his guilt over betraying his marriage vows--you paint him as a good man, but flawed, but doing the best he can with impossible situations.

He's an interesting guy, Jimmy is. *happysigh*
