Oh this chapter made me really sad. I love the slow reveal, but it can be so frustrating sometimes not to know what's going on!
As always, I can't wait to read more :D
xoxoxo

Heh. Sorry.

(not really) :)

Glad you're enjoying being teased and denied the satisfaction of knowing already.

Oh God I was so happy when this popped up.

I'm like Jared every time the bottles rattle I know Jensen is safe inside.

I like the way Jeff feels like a man and part of something it makes me happy and the part about making sure Jared had an alibi when Jeff finds who poisoned the street people. Yea loved that just as much

[ladyjanelly]

Jared's just about paranoid waiting for that noise every time. It's neat that the readers notice too.

Yeah. Jeff wouldn't risk Jared getting in trouble. Because nobody would be able to track Jeff down but Jared has a life to protect. All part of watching Jared's back.

Jeff was a dad? No wonder he's so fiercely protective of his chosen charges then.

And it was great to see Jensen trying to take care of Jared, even if he wasn't exactly sure what to do. Jensen's fear of the stranger in the mirror is also heartbreaking.

Yay for another great chapter!

[ladyjanelly]

Jeff really feels like a failed parent (and he had illness issues that contributed to not being there for his kids but from their viewpoint he's probably right). I think every time he fails one of his own it's like that all over again.

Hrm. I reserve the right to use that paragraph in Jeff's next chapter.

Glad you're enjoying the little comfort/care bits. Jensen tries so hard. I love writing him.

[lomer]

Yeah I can see his kids thinking he abandoned them. There are few things worse then having someone who is supposed to ALWAYS be there for you, always love you unconditionally, always be that support... abandon you. I'm sure that in their eyes, he choose to leave them. That they weren't good enough for him to try to stay for

[ladyjanelly]

I might have more jeff-thoughts about his kids now that we had this talk. Because as he gets closer to a mentally healthy state these things may weigh on him more. Hrm. Thanks for the thinky-thoughts.

His own kids are sure why that little-girl hooker dying in his arms hit him so hard. Not that it wouldn't have anyway.

Rambling is good. Never apologize for that. I love these kinds of discussions. They open up doors for my fic that I didn't see before. It's awesome.

And yeah. I can't imagine an artistic endeavor that's worth kids getting abandoned for it.

[timian]

Sigh. I have such soft love for this. It's lovely.

[ladyjanelly]

Thanks. :)

Glad you're enjoying it.

I keep watching your icon, waiting for something to spin.

"he takes the forks and knives and shapes them into a new shelter for the man with the green glass heart." I just love that!

That was a beautiful chapter, beautiful yet sad. There is so much depth to your writing that I can read and re-read and each time get more from it.

I wrote this review once already and accidentally posted it before I'd finished, so I deleted and re-wrote it.

[ladyjanelly]

I love when people comment on the contradictions--beauty with sad. And the re-read is the best compliment an author can have.

Thank you so much,
