Aww, that was a good read. I always wish they'd address in the canon why Sam and Dean didn't speak for so long while Sam was at Stanford because I could imagine something like you've written being the norm for them.

Thanks for sharing. I'm sure your recipient will enjoy it!

Glad you liked it. :D

Such a delightful fic! You really captured the boys perfectly; from their nuances, to how they act with each other, and the banter was spot on!

I really liked how you dealt with Sam hunting at Stanford, because I like to think that he would act if there was a case he couldn't ignore. Plus you really nailed their complicated relationship, and I really liked your explanation of how Sam wanted to 'go' and not 'leave'. For me, that felt true to his character.

A great read! Seasons Greetings :)

It's been a while since I've watched an episode, actually, so it took me a while to remember their voices. Glad you enjoyed it!

I love this! What a lovely present, and exactly what I wanted. Thank you! You have both of them down perfectly, and a nice simple hunt is just right for the time of year.

Yay, I'm so glad! :D Mission accomplished.

I really loved this!
“Not a lot of difference between going and leaving from where I’m standing.”
“So stand somewhere else.”

Your dialogue is fantastic. The tension between them is there but not overly wrought yet -- perfect for the Stanford era. The undercurrent of affectionate snark is my favorite thing (and you do that so well)

Thank you so much! I'm usually not one for Stanford era fic but I figured I'd give it a shot. The affectionate snark is what got me hooked on the show in the first place, so I'm glad you liked it!
