Ah, nice!
A very cool 'next chapter'...or what you will. :)

I like that Dean acknowledges that he can keep Sam from totally losing it and has no problem offering a 'hit'. And the skeery trees! Can't see you if you can't see them!

And the flashlight dying... Eeep!
:)

Good stuff.

Even in the SPN world flashlights have to die natural deaths occasionally, right? I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I just read both chapters, and I must say, I love the way you write! You know the Winchester boys very well, and your vivid description is splendid! I will definitely keep up with this and all your stories! Love, Robin

I'm glad you found, and enjoyed, the stories. Thanks so much for commenting!

Oh yeah! Fabulous, I've been hoping for more in this verse ever since I read the first story. Wonderfully creepy and great protective Dean and trying really hard to buck it up but just not quite hitting it Sam

I'm glad you liked it. I was really struggling with doing this from Dean's point of view, so I'm very appreciative of feedback on this one. Thank you!

Im so glad you have added more to this 'verse. Your original story is one of my all time favourites and this is just as good. It has an originality that I like and you have a distinctive way of writing. Nicely done..hope there's more? Would be interesting to see the development of Sam burgeoning abilites and Deans increasing anchoring role in his life as they continue to hunt.

hope there's more?
You and me both. I very much hope there's more. I had/have high hopes of doing several more stories in this ‘verse, and a couple more ideas are sketched out (ultimately, ending in angsty slash). They’re not flowing well, though. With luck, another one will emerge in less than 18 months.

Thank you for commenting. This story ended up being pretty important to me because it was an exploration of my skill/comfort level in using Dean as a narrator for parts of the series, so every bit of feedback on the experiment helps.

I love this 'verse. I hope you continue with it.

Thank you, and, me too. The stories aren't cooperating, but some ideas are in the works for continuations.
