Re: incredible ending... glassshoe September 17 2008, 05:56:35 UTC

Wow, thank you for your prompt review. Yeah, I'm not a big fan of tragedy. This ended maybe darker than I wanted. I wrote the first draft and went, "Wow, too depressing." I've always got to leave some room for hope at the end.

I haven't commented before now because I'm a bad person--I wanted to know how it ended before I said anything.

I'm completely unspoiled, and I really am probably wound really tight in anticipation of 4.01, but the epilogue just brought the tears. Actually, they started with last line of Pt. 5 and continued all through the epilogue. Now I'm sniffing and honking like a goose. I'm glad there's a glimmer of hope. This was a tight and anxious read, with not much of a relief as payoff, but there is that little bit of hope. I'll hang on to that.

Oh no, I'm sorry I made you cry! I got a little misty myself towards the end. If you want to know something terrible, I actually once wrote a fic and cried so hard over it that I actually made myself sick for most of the week afterward. No kidding.

I'm wound pretty tight for the season premiere too. I'm sure I'll cry or sniffle or something. Then my husband will laugh at me, and sleep on the couch.

Thank you for the feedback!

Take care.

I'm speechless...I don't know how to express myself because this story simply blew me away. Just WOW.

Amazing. I love Bobby so very much, and his warmth and gruff caring were so clear in those first few parts, and oh Dean, I almost cried but I loved every excruciating second.

But the ending... Wow. I loved Dean for accepting it, I did, because it proves that he's still Dean, still himself, despite everything, still deep-down good. And the fact that Bobby couldn't do it meant that he saw it.

Can you come back from this? Can Dean and Sam come back? I like to believe that if anyone in existence could, it would be those two, that eventually the black and the yellow could leach from their vision and be just beautiful greenish-hazel again.

But even so, brothers. Always brothers.

In case you haven't caught on yet, yeah, I loved this story. Keep writing.

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed this story. I had thought about writing a line near the end, something to the effect of Dean and Sam being able to save each other, even if they can't save themselves. I ended up having Sam just say that they can still save other people. Just felt like that worked better, because we know the boys, and we know that they'll always save each other.
