I love this. And your icon. Your icon says all.

The first thing that I thought when I was watching the interaction between Dean and Castiel is that; "Dude... Dean's totally getting owned." And in a very sexy way. And I'm so very happy in my pants as I was reading this because it's from Sam's point of view and it has new and shiny Ruby (though oddly I prefer the old, bitchier version of her) and holy, the whole God and the Devil's baseball game? Pure brilliance. I love the imagery.

This is lovely. Simply awesome.

Thanks for sharing this!! Definitely +memory♥!

Thank you!! The font really does say it all :) Dean is totally PWNED by Castiel. I am happy that you liked the perspective that this was written in. I think the best material for this pairing will come from seeing things through Sammy's eyes. Though I can't tell you how much I am anticipating a Sam confronting Castiel moment on the show!

Again, thank you for commenting! [it means tons to me]

This hurts my soul.
I mean, don't get me wrong, it's AWESOME, and a concept I hadn't thought before, but ugh.

I am a Sam girl to the bones (which I feel is in itself a minority) and the idea that the one thing Sam can feel better than Dean at, in that he has some larger destiny, whether for good or evil, would also be taken away from him, jesus.
I don't think that boy can take any more heartache. I just don't.
If he were to find out he's gone through everything he has and for NOTHING, or at least nothing good, while dean gets some grand reason for being, I can't imagine how damaged he would be. I don't know if I could handle seeing that on the show. It would break my heart into thousands of tiny pieces. I almost cried thinking about this. Seriously.

I agree, but I agree because I don't think Sam sits around thinking about how special he is with his special powers because, NEWSFLASH, he doesn't want his powers! He wants nothing to do with them!

He uses them to help people. He wants to use them to help Dean, and while he may not have appreciated Dean at times, that fucking street goes two ways.

Sam might not have seen Dean at times, and yeah, he may have been selfish (who hasn't?) but I think he left for Stanford because John and Dean weren't really seeing him, and maybe Sam was tired of hurting them because it wasn't in him to want what they wanted, or to "selflessly" suck it up like Dean did.

I like Sam more because he's more human, and I get tired of the implication that Sam coos over his powers like he thinks they make him better than Dean--because Sam's powers make him hate himself.

Honest review is honest: your Dean bias is really showing.

I want to thank the both of you for your honest reviews to this story. It is always wonderful to see that people are actually thinking about what I have written. That said, while I am admittedly a Dean girl, I have no hate for Sam. This story was in no way written to insult the character, it was meant to juxtapose Sam's character with Dean's. More specifically, to look at what some of his motivations were behind his actions in the first episode. I am of the opinion that Sam is making bad decisions, or at least he was at that point in the series ( ... )

thanks. hmm, while i am happy this story was able to get a reaction from you . . . i'm sorry that it made you sad!

Cool! aisling_door December 16 2008, 03:10:47 UTC

When you've written a story and people begin commenting in ways other than, "SQUEEE!!!", you know it's good. When people begin commenting in such a way in response to a 700-word idea, you know you've written a GREAT story (or that you at least have the beginnings of a great story ( ... )

WIFEY! GLOMPHUGGLOMP!

Oooh after the comments above I'm going to feel a bit wussy, just saying how much I love this story :)

I don't think it matters who's chosen or manipulated by whom. Dean cares for Sam, and Sam cares for Dean, that's all there is and that's what matters. Both of them could be the respective second comings and all they'd do is save each other, that's what the Show is. I don't think Sam would even have heard Ruby's 'second choice' barbs, he's fixating on protecting Dean from the pain he's already been through. God, it just makes me want to hug Sam to pieces and bitchslap Ruby (she's got an agends, that one *gives her an evil glare*)

Love this fic, and all its implications. :D

bellajayd December 17 2008, 17:00:20 UTC

Thank you so, so much for your comment! It means a ton to me :)

I agree with what you said about Sam, all the powers and stuff come second to his thoughts about protecting Dean. Even in the show, I think that Sam sees his powers, regardless of their origin, as a tool to be used to protect people -- to protect Dean.

Ruby is sooooo up to something. Everything she does screams SOOPER SEKRIT EEVOL AGENDA! Personally, I think she is still pushing the original plan of YED.

Again, thanks for the awesome review. It made me happy :D
