*marries that comment*

And, obviously, in agreement. This was a wild ride, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The only thing that didn't feel quite right was all of the "ya", particularly from John.

Lordie, those 12 days John spent alone in the woods were awful. o_o Poor bb doctor... he just angsts so well, doesn't he?

Thank you! And thank you for the 'ya' comment, because those tend to slip into my work, and while I don't mind it occasionally from Dean, because he has a more casual way of speaking and he does say 'ya' versus 'you' once and awhile on the show, I had been deliberately trying to not let it happen with John, cause, yeah, I can't see it being something he'd say... gonna go through and find those moments and change 'em. :)

Thank you! Especially considering I made myself sad writing that part, aha. He definitely does angst incredibly well. ♥

-loves on you right back-

I'm so glad you enjoyed, and that miserable!John was made of rainbows, and that you enjoyed Sherlock having to deal with feelings and love and improbable things! ♥ As for Dean and Castiel - oh my godddd, trying to write their relationship from an outsider's POV just about killed me at first (trying to have Sherlock, John, Sam, Dean and Castiel all in the same room at the same time just about killed me, period), and I'm so glad all the touching and comforting worked out well.

OH MY GOD CAN I HAVE THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF LEVIATHAN KILLING WITH *POLITICS* AND THEN SHERLOCK AND JOHN SOLVING MONSTER CASES WITH *SCIENCE* and omg poor Mrs. Hudson.Ahaha, oh, god, that would be insane. Poor Mrs. Hudson, indeed. "Guess what, I'm still alive! And there are monsters from Purgatory trying to get into our flat, so you should probably carry this bottle of Borax with you, and now excuse me, I need to go do science while my brother does politics." XD I actually read this one post-apocolyptic fic that was basically along

*flaily hands*

I was a bit aprehensive about reading this because I stopped watching Supernatural after Season , but I do have a friend who keeps me up to date on some of the plots, so at least I had a general idea about the Leviathans.

Anyways, I thought this was excellent. You took two very different shows and managed to blend them in a way that worked perfectly.

Fantastic stuff. :D

I'm so glad you gave this a read, especially considering you've stopped watching the show, and thank you so much for the lovely comment!

Grinning my face off now. Thank you. :D ♥

[twisting_vine_x]

[equusentric]

That was absolutely effing fantastic!

[twisting_vine_x]

Thaaank you. :D

[fred_bear]

This is just a Wonderful fic. You've captured the voices of all of them so well, the plot is engaging and wonderfully balanced between angst and hope. Such a pleasure to read!

[twisting_vine_x]

Thank you so much! Really appreciate the lovely feedback. :)

"You've captured the voices of all of them so well"

That, especially, is awesome to hear, since trying to write all of these characters in the same room at the same time got a little crazy-making. And I'm glad the plot worked for you, and that the balance of hope and angst was good... thanks again for the comment. :)
