Oh this is fascinating and lovely. I love this exploration of Sam coming into his powers, and Dena both stepping back and crowding in. IT's really, wonderful.
Everything you write is so intricate and layered and moving. I feel like I can't read it fast enough to absorb everything. Truly, an amazing talent. Truly, an amazing fic.
I can totally see where Etienne's words would haunt Sam (no pun intended) and the overlap of her with Jess. Sam being afraid that he has finally pushed Dean out and away with this latest manifestation of his power - and Dean, is his oh-so-Dean way, telling Sam that that's not the case. Missouri helping Sam, but ultimately, it's his not being afraid of himself that is the key. And boy, has he had to learn how to take the pain!
The way you've developed everything, start to finish (including the previous two fics). . . I'm awed.
Thank you so much for the compliments! I'm so very pleased this one lives up to the expectations and other 'fics.
Etienne originally wasn't going to be so much of a 'good guy,' but she decided that she wasn't a 'typical ghost' (whatever that is). The correlation between her and Jess, especially realised looking out over the lake, was something Sam saw, not me, until I re-read what I'd written. Sam is terrified of his power, worried about how Dean will react, and later on he'll believe Dean when Dean says he's not bothered. That wasn't in this fic, and it won't be in the next
( ... )
Oh, loved this as usual. Everything from Sam coming into his power to the pissy poltergeist was wonderful. I loved knowing that the forbidden love that got Dean in trouble with Etienn is his love for Sam. Can't help wondering why the cleansing ritual gave Sam so much trouble, was it just because of the water base being an opposing element to his fire, or is did Dean add a little extra umph to it because he is water too. Also can't to see what's next.
Sorry if my comment wasn't the most coherent, I did end up writing that at 3:45AM. I blame you for that. I just couldn't go to sleep without reading this once I found it. But just keep writing more stories in this verse and I'll be happy to lose more sleep.
Your comment was highly coherent! (Even if it wasn't, I understood it. *Grin*) I'm sorry that you lost sleep reading this -- I lost a great deal of sleep writing it, if that makes you feel any better!
Thank you for the comment! I'm glad you enjoyed this one and are looking forward to the next one. (Yes, there will be a next one, but I'm going to try and force myself to slow down a little in the writing process. We'll see if I'm actually successful!)

Me too! It was hard writing this one, at times, as I just wanted Sam to get a clue, or for Dean to jump his brother, ANYTHING! but I had to wait because that happens later. It's definitely a lesson in self-restraint, writing the 'end' of a series before the beginning.
Can't help wondering why the cleansing ritual gave Sam so much trouble...
I'm going to try and address that in future fics, so please be patient with me!
That was beautiful. truely beautiful, I love how unsure Sam was about his powers and how worried and concerned Dean was. Thanks for sharing. You are truely the creator of masterpieces.
