I got an early peek at this and I still lurv it.

It went over much better than I expected, frankly, though that probably partially has to do with its being posted relatively early.

Literally half of the comments used the word 'creepy' and I think 'disturbing' was the second-most used. Overall, I'm satisfied. Glad you liked it, despite the silly weirdness. ;)

Honestly, we don't get enough creepy and disturbing in SPN fanfic, which is kinda odd! What I really dig about your writing is there's a sort of ambiance about the prose that colors the whole piece, and you vary it from fic to fic. You're so good at making the words fit the vibe/theme.

So take THAT for your silly weirdness!

This prompt was SO HARD omg you have no idea. The fact that it worked out at all and people responded positively to it just blows my mind. I guess it just goes to show horror makes everything better.

Mmm cupcake.

I absolutely loved the image of Dean oozing.

"I'm going to have to cut it out of you." Oh, Sam. The things you have to do for your brother.

I should have known this was yours. Horribly, awfully fantastic.

Heh, I guess not a lot of people doing the whole oozing!Dean theme--at least not in a gen sort of way. Hurr hurr hurr...um, anyway thank you! Again! I struggled with this a *lot* so I'm really just so glad people liked it anyway. <3!

What happens when you take something that’s not alive…and force it into a living thing?

Yikes.

I mean that in the best of all possible ways, but . . . yikes. One of your tags is "disturbing imagery," and good lord, you were not kidding. Sam's emergency surgery was unnerving enough, but the idea of the Impala's essence manifesting inside Dean's body was outright terrifying. And so much gloriously frightening imagery! Sam discovering Dean's bloody footprints. Dean's heartbeat and the Impala's rumble merging. (which might very well be one of the creepiest things I've ever read.) Sam "hearing" the Impala's engine when Dean was close. And Baby's spectral motor oil leaking from Dean's eyes, his mouth, running in veins beneath his skin . . . *shivers* Yeah, "creepy" is for sure the right word here. :)

Thank all that's holy for Sam's big ole brain, because otherwise . . . D:

Beautiful, perfect (and yes, creepy) writing. LOVE your dark style and hellooooo, new favorite author! As the Terminator once said, "I'll be back." ;)

Y'know this fic gave me fits while I was working on it, so I was pretty surprised by all the positive response! But I'm glad it's interesting and engaging, despite everything. Creepy is definitely good--actually of the comments I got on it at the summergen page, I think roughly half specifically used the word 'creepy'. This pleases me for some reason.

Helloooo new reader! :D I'm so glad you like the darker stuff--it's definitely my favorite. Thanks for reading, I'm so happy you enjoyed this!
