You're killing me with this story, and all I can think of is gorging myself to death on it. Absolutely freaking amazing, gut-wrenching... yeah. I seriously can't wait for the rest of it. I think I read this whole chapter without blinking or breathing.
I always feel guilty when I realize people read at work -- like I'm gonna get y'all fired or something. But, eating and reading? Don't get crumbs on the keyboard! Or, however you're reading it.
No doubt about it, girl... nothing to worry about. You hit the jackpot, drew a Royal flush, cleaned out the house any other gambling term that you can think of that equates with winning big-time. This chapter was beyond fabulous and I'm a bloody wreck! The reveal was superb, heart-pounding, tragic and - guh! - I'm exhausted after reading all of Dean's (and John's) suffering tonight. As the chapter ended, I could feel my tears bubbling up, the pressure from this oh-so intense story finally being released. I know I'm repeating myself with each chapter but this was just brilliant. not only was the payoff of the reveal fantastic but so was the confrontation with the demon. To see John and Dean finally on the same page (despite their own concerns), to see that trust and faith in each other rebuilt - if only for a short while - was both heartbreaking and heartwarming. Father and son are a formidable team and it was a joy to see them (and I *could* see it all, thanks to you) in action

OMG, lookit your youngJA in the icon! That's so...appropriate!
I'm glad you think the pay-off's worth it -- it's hard to have any perspective from over here. Just -- too close, right? Which is where the betas come in, but they're so invested now it's hard for them too.
I think I did promise a slightly happy ending, didn't I?
LOL, I have to confess that I made the icon so that I could use it while posting my fic (and have been using it) but I just love these 2 photos, especially side-by-side, and will consider any good reason to use it :). Glowing feedback for Fire in the Hole is a helluva good reason in my books!
I *did* sleep well last night but hopefully better sleep even better tonight... our new mattress is on the bed so hopefully now I won't feel the slats that were supporting the old mattress beneath me anymore ;-). Ack, memory foam feels weird!!
I almost want to say "take your time" finalizing the last chapter. Almost. I so want to read it but am loathe to see this gorgeous story end. It's been an awesome ride. Thanks again for taking us on this journey.
You know, I think the demon said a version of what Dean was thinking (which is why i hope the message text that begins chapters 7 and 8 was believable), but it was all twisted, all the negative stuff, just taking the truth and spinning it ever so slightly sideways.
