Rendingly poignant, well-done. You really explored the hold that his mother still has on Dean from those 4 years he was a kid. And then to make those memories wrapped up with Eve really hurt.

Thank you so much! Poor Dean -- it must hit him so much harder than it does Sam to see her face. To be sure, Sam has his own issues, but Dean has the memories that cut like a knife.

I'm glad you liked it -- it was a great prompt to work with!

I really enjoyed reading this. I like your writing style and I loved the dream sequences. Thanks for sharing this. :D

This was a great read. I enjoyed the way Mary and Eve were all twisted in Dean's headspace when he was sleeping. How he was just so out of it and then the way Sam and Bobby's worry escalated was very well done. Nice job.

Thank you! I really didn't connect with Eve until she had Mary's face and talked about her motivation for the war, so it was easy to use that common ground in Dean's head. I'm glad you liked this!

I love how creative a take this is on the prompt. It's not at all what I would've expected and works so well. Love the way the characters bounce off each other (and the waitress's line to Bobby, heh)and the fact that although the situation seems urgent, it isn't over-the-top with the melodrama and all that. I really enjoyed this. Kudos!
