Quite frankly, I'm a bit lost for words. It's just so good.
Wow. That is wonderfaul praise indeed. (Seriously-- the un-words speak as loudly as the known words, sometimes)

Thank you :)

Beautiful and just so achingly sad.

Thank you so much!

So much pain inside Dean, and as each episode goes by we get a better glimpse as to why.

And yet, it makes more sense than his surface bravado and devil-may-care attitude. All of that is his mask, and probably the way he wishes he felt all the time. But he has his worries and anguish, and his tendency to NOT voice them leads his family to think they're not there. Unlike Sam, who broadcasts his issues to the world. It's not bad, on either side-- just a huge mark of how they're different.

Love the backwards user name, rachelrose.

This whole fic has given me my daily dose of "Oh, Dean." but this line How could anyone think they’re that close when Sam has one foot out the door almost every day? just HURTS me. Oh, DEAN.

When people say the truth hurts, they're not kidding.

Thank you so much-- and your perfect icon for all the "Oh, Dean" moments.

Ow. this is *so* Dean, it´s wonderful. His constant fear of Sam leaving and the way he took charge of everything so very early on... .I like the thought of him choosing sam´s clothes and taking care of both his brother and father. Exactly what I think of him.
This is a brilliant thought: while he waited for his mother to finally come out of that burning house.

Thank you for sharing, hun!

Dean was a very competent child (he really had no choice), and I expect he did way better with all responsibilities than other children his age would have done.

But how it hurts to take such thoughtful care of other people, and have them walk away like all that-- and you-- mean nothing.

It's ironic to think of "Bad-ass Dean" suffering from "Good boy taken-for-granted/overlooked" syndrome within his own family. And yet-- that really seems to be the case. :(

Thanks so much, Zora. I loved your comments way back in an earlier post as to why you enjoyed my stories so much, and I still have that in my email as something I meant to reply to. It just made my day/week/year. :D

uh, outch, rub it in ;) You´re right. Noone is able to hurt Dean like Sammy (and DaddyW) does and noone is able to get away with that like Sam. He has quite some power there, I wonder if he realizes. Would be nice if it´d be both ways. stranger things have happened.

And yet-- that really seems to be the case. :( yep, totally. though that makes him even sexier. Something is seriously messed up, LOL.

Oh, geez, don´t say that. I´m so glad to hear that I could give a fragment of that back what you give me with your wonderful stories *hugs*!
