holy. crap.

this is by far one of the most gorgeous pieces i've ever read. i hate to be one of those "i never read ______, but.." people, but there's no two ways about it. i honestly don't read mpreg. no exceptions because an author is a good friend, no "well, maybe if it's not too descriptive", no. nothing. it doesn't bother me, not much does really. i just, don't read it. no real reason.

but.

the summary was enough to pique my interests as i love a good zombie-ANYTHING. and the title was awesome, the ART was beyond gorgeous and after only getting a few sentences in, i was hooked.

from there on out, the way everything just flowed into place.. jesus. i wouldn't have been able to stop reading had someone viciously ripped my laptop out of my cold, dead hands. so absorbed in this, i just can't even really express how much. and your writing is just - TOO GOOD. way too good.

all of sam's reactions felt so dead on and realistic, despite the unrealisticness of a man-baby lol, and you wholly suspended my disbelief with this. i'm utterly taken aback. and dean's quiet but fierce loyalty to his brother and their baby. and i lovelovelove that through the whole thing, it was mainly referred to as a 'parasite' and didn't deter off into some ball of sap.
gosh, i'm in full on Gush Mode right now but this is one of those times i need to get it all out and point out the little details that killed me and the scenes that will stay with me. i especially loved the ending of part 2, with sam telling dean he hated him when it couldn't be further from the truth. perfect sprinkling of angst.

AND. the fact that it didn't all wrap up into a happily ever after, knotted precisely with a pink ribbon the second that chuck set the world right once again. i liked that it was still a struggle for sam, for them, for their new life.

and the descriptions in the zombie world, chilling!! felt like i was right there along with 'em, wading through bile and guts and rotting flesh. you painted a horribly gruesome panoramic and i couldn't possibly adore you more for it ♥

this is going straight to my memories (both on LJ and in my head).

oh my lord, your review is, like, the best pick-me-up ever. dude, i was smiling SO HARD while i read it. thank you SO much.

mpreg is a stigma in any fandom, but i have a soft spot for it. the only bad thing is i'm really picky, and i hate things to be mushy, so when my idea for a j2 fic fell through for this round of big bang, somehow this is what came to mind. i have no idea why. but, tangent aside, practically the biggest compliment i can be paid is that my fic was good enough to have someone step outside of their comfort zone and read it and actually like it. so thank you :)

again, thank you so much. i am so happy you liked it, gritty sam and zombies and un-neat ending and all. :) <3

oh, that makes me so happy! i'm glad :)

because i honest to god Chuck, had one of these moments:


it was that serious. i had to text one of my bestfrans about it (who's a huge fan of mpreg and knows the lengths in which i am not.. "Yes!! Score 1 for mpreg. That musta been some fic" is what she said, rofl. and she was RIGHT!), almost tweeted about it, too. not gonna lie. i'm still recovering right now tbh. or trying to, anyway.

it already sucks having to go back to the real world... i want to live in this fic ♥ ♥ ♥

okay, seriously, you are MAKING MY DAY. you make me want to write a semi-schmoopy sequel where dean has a best girl!friend that reagan loves and then sam gets jealous and possessive.... ha!

all the internet cookies to you. honestly, thank you so much for the excellent comments!

............sequel?


Now I want to demand this be written for purely selfish reasons. I'm suddenly feeling an overwhelmingly strong pull towards possessive!Sam...

haha well maybe your demands will be met. i did sign up for the mini sam/dean ficathon and have written exactly 0 words for it. :)

I agree with this review 100%. Everything I would say about this story, you already said for me.

I think I just really liked how Sam getting pregnant didn't change his character. There was no simpering fluffy love fest because Sam could suddenly have a baby.

haha, i'd be a complete hypocrite if i turned sam into a simpering woman because he found out he was pregnant, because i hate when that happens in other fics. i know that i would be pissed if i was in his shoes, so i tried to convey that. i'm glad you appreciate the lack of fluff :))

Yep, exactly this. He was still true to himself and not some suddenly effeminate version of Sam. ♥
All the love in the world for the accuracy portrayed herein!

P.S. Dear kerfuffling, I haven't forgotten the vague mention of a possible sequel :P
