Yay, an update! :) I really enjoyed this chapter, with all of the yummy action that took place, and I loved how you used the thunderstorm as a backdrop. It added a nice level of tension.

Favorite lines:

The oncoming storm lingers and grows, the air damp and thick, heat swirling under the cap of deep gray clouds as if the world's anticipating the heaviness of this simple meeting.

Beautiful description there.

Stewart Hall isn't as either imagined.

I like that he wasn’t a cliché villain, that his appearance and mannerisms took them by surprise.

Raindrops fall like pellets; large, moist tears of the sky.

More good description here.

When it comes to his family, there is no line -- to him, there is no question of morality or rightness where his family's safety is concerned.

Great statement here from Dean. I really enjoyed all of his and Hall’s dialogue. They each had interesting things to say.

Simply wonderful, I adore this story!

Aw, Dean. It's what he had to do, and Hall WAS a monster, but oh DEAN. So beautifully written, as always, and incredibly gripping. Brava!

[kiraboshi]

*g* I love playing with dualities -- Hall's insanity versus the Winchester's quest -- and how they're the same yet different. Twas the whole point! *g*

[kiraboshi]

Aww. Hope you're not too hurt. We've got a chapter to go!

Oh god, poor Dean.

Even knowing it had to happen, my heart still aches for its necessity.

[kiraboshi]

GOOD! That means I've done my job well.
