I just came across- I'm intrigued enough to go back and read this series (but not at past 11 after working two jobs!) I do have one question- will you address AHBL? Again, this is very interesting. I'm kinda liking this new OFC. She's interesting, and I love that she's not Dean's usual bimbo of the week...

No worries. ;-P The 'verse isn't going anywhere.
I do have one question- will you address AHBL?
I had intended for the series to be an AU season 2 (albiet sticking as close to the original events as I could, barring Penny) but AHBL ruined my plot completely so, yes... I will be addressing "All Hell Breaks Loose" -- although the next episode I'll be focusing on is "Crossroads."
Again, this is very interesting. I'm kinda liking this new OFC. She's interesting, and I love that she's not Dean's usual bimbo of the week...
Thank you! Penny actually started life as one of the heroines in my Victorian AU but I liked the way she interacted with Dean too much to stop writing about them. I hope she's definitely not Dean's usual bimbo of the week. ;-P
I had something intelligent to say and now I've forgotten it.
*pets*
That's pretty much been my state since finishing Part Two's rough draft.
More than likely it was something totally witty about the awesome parallels between this and the Deane 'verse, but it all went out the window with Dean, er, toe-ing the line (/terrible, terrible pun).
I so had to go there, however. For some reason, I almost wrote in a desk but the breakfast table thing was too funny not to have Dean try and do.
Anyway, I am quite excited for the second part (which I am sure will be amazing)
Oy, the pressure. Trust me, I am worried enough about the reaction... I'm not giving anything away but, damn...
I'm hoping it will be amazing. All of the betas have liked it, so... ;-P
Also, is it weird that I image Penny's dad as looking like Richard Gilmore from GG?
Nope. I hadn't really thought about what he looked like, but that's actually a fair image. *ponders description in Part Two, as I have not yet posted it.*
I love how real you write relationships, Branni. Honestly -- they're gritty, honest, not always pretty. And that's something you don't always get to see when reading fiction.

And double smishes. I do try to convey the good with the bad and Dean/Penny in particular have a lot of similar issues which don't make for an easy time, sad to say. I'm glad that they are coming across as real, though.
Really, this is one of the kindest things anyone has said about my writing.
I've pretty much been on an Lj hiatus recently - hardly doing anything - not much writing to speak of, very little in the way of reading - and then I see this! *g*
*hugs*
I've been on a bit of one myself, between my stupid new meds (having fallen asleep in bathrooms, everything else seemed prime for avoidance after that) and all of the writing/editing I've been doing lately. Sigh... ;-P
I'm thrilled my wee Dean/Penny story lured you out of lurkage...
in this you bring him to life as only Eric Kripke should be able to. I so want this to be canon
*is one big pile of flail on the floor*
Seriously, M. Thank you so much for saying that. I try and I hope but sometimes I don't think I hit the mark, so... I, too, would like to see Dean in a relationship like this -- I think he needs someone who isn't part of the life, so to speak, someone who could be a haven.
Oh - this was pretty hot too you know I think they write themselves that way. But I was going for a lazier feel in the last section, which has some of my favorite Dean/

Dude. DUDE. Branni!! *FLAILS LIKE A REALLY MOTHERFUCKING FLAILY THING*
This is brilliant. It's... My God, he's so broken and I love that you don't try to fix that, you just let him be broken and Penny's not very much better off and yet she still manages to be the most awesome girlfriend ever.
I love what you did with the No Exit storyline. I always felt like there was more to the story after Jo told Dean about how her dad died.
I love Dean and Penny "ankle wrestling" at the kitchen table.
I love that Sam doesn't say a word about Dean's sudden need to see Penny, even when it means trying to outrun a freaking blizzard.
I love that Lynn is as protective of Penny as Penny's own brothers.
I love this bit so very, very much: John Winchester always stood between innocents and the dark that threatened them. There was more to the story than Ellen was telling her daughter; she just didn’t know the man the way that Dean did. John Winchester didn’t make a habit of sacrificing anyone except himself. The fact that Dean wasn’t a pile of ash

I don't think he's going to really be fixed for a long time, and I wanted to show how he struggles with that in the context of his life. I think Penny's a good foil for that because they do have some of the same issues in a lot of ways, while still being unique in themselves.
As for being awesome? Penny'd probably disagree with you on that... ;-P
I love what you did with the No Exit storyline. I really made myself think about how that would affect him. Dean's still struggling with the knowledge that his dad did something to save him (even if he doesn't know what John did exactly) and that he was told to kill Sam. If his father just allowed someone to die like that, he's not the man Dean thought he was...and that makes him question

I'm glad it helped.
