This story was wonderfully original, complex, engaging and heartbreaking as all get out but still with lovely SPNish hints of humor throughout. I'm thoroughly, thoroughly impressed!
::waves:: You're back in another of my fic! And we were having such a good time commenting back and forth on Bread and Circuses ;) Want to friend to make life easier? I'm working my way through your fic (just done the first marvellous 3, and looking forward to downloading the last big one in a few days after I kill off the next fic if my download quota doesn't explode first)
Glad you liked this one. It was certainly one of the hardest (and longest) to write - got stalled on it forever before my muse came back.
Someone once said (in a frightened tone - heh) that they never knew what to expect next from my fic because I like to push the boundaries and some of the fic is light, and some of it is very dark.
It's part of an ongoing series where I try and explore the issues of just how damaged the boys really are over a 2 year arc. Two down and the other 3 are half done (I'm in a bit of a multi-fic frenzy at the moment). Glad the self-harm didn't put you off and that it broke you just a little.
God, this weekend has been full of fic that intrigues enough for me to keep the email notices hanging around in my inbox and yet I am way behind in my reading. In amongst all the SPN stories I want to read, I'm also in the process of reading a 300+ page Lancer fic that I'm enjoying immensely. I even had a 3 day weekend and still my inbox is getting fuller with fic I want to read!
I definitely will read more of yours and, at this point, am quite pleased to know they're not as long :). There's hope for me yet ;).
Now, if you've already read my recent response to you about S3 angst, my next comments probably won't surprise you but I will say, generally, since the boys are suffering so much just with what canon deals them, I'm not one to look for stories that include self-harm, suicidal thoughts, drug-use/abuse, etc. as part of the storyline. Not that, given the boys' existence, any of these concepts are completely out of character. It's just that they already have so very much to deal with and now, with S3, I've found that never before

So much fic, so little time? Yeah, one could spend forever just downloading and reading. Tis very hard to keep up (that's my problem at the moment too). Lancer - that I know absolutely nothing about. I'm going to pester you all about that topic in a month or so when I get a nice gap in the fic schedule.
I love the angst, but what I love more is the guys ability to survive it and come out the other side, and still be so human and giving, and loving despite all that they have suffered. So generally if I'm inflicting pain it is not out of a vicarious need to see them in pain, but I want to see how their character's change and grow with all that happens to them. Pretty much the spirits purged pure in the fire concept.
Fear not, some of the Advent fic coming up are lighter stories. Some of the others unfortunately aren't though.
I'm pretty much a gen girl, but I will make exceptions for something by a great writer.

One thing, all the nights of his life - the sound of his brother crying for him over a grave.
Oh, Dean. :(

You married a Dean? You go, girl!
