Nooooo!!!! This is so lovely and sad.

Thank you - I'm so happy you enjoyed it! I'm a huge Sam and Jess fan, I find their relationship fascinating and I thought I'd try a Jess POV again - it's been a while, but I love writing her and how she feels about our Sam.

Thank you for stopping by :)

This was surprisingly upsetting. You captured Sam and Jess's life, their relationship, their little bubble of happiness so beautifully. And I love all the dark little hints . . . Brady's downward spiral, Jess's Halloween costume, Sam's nightmare visions . . . disaster is creeping right up on their lives and it really hurts to know what's coming.

his ratty Metallica T-shirt that he's been overly protective of ever since they met. It's weird though; she's never heard him listen to their music.

Yeah, we know whose T-shirt that really is. ♥

This is beautiful!

What a sweet and wonderful comment - thank you so much! I'm so happy that enjoyed this little glimpse into Sam and Jess's relationship and their life at Stanford, I was hoping to capture that everyday slice of life feel.

I'm thrilled you picked up on all the little dark hints of what looms ahead. And yes, of course I simply had to get Dean in there somewhere, because Sam must have had something else to remind him of his family, other than the photograph.

Thank you so much for stopping by, and taking the time to leave such a detailed comment, I really appreciate it. Take care :)

I loved this from the first. And still do! (And I'm looking forward to seeing what 2016 brings from your creative mind!)

\o/ Thank you so much for stopping by, and for all your beta work and brainstorming. You know how I feel about Sam and Jess, and I really did enjoy writing a Jess POV again; it was great writing something quiet with an everyday feel.

And yes, bring on 2016 fic! I'm looking forward to more challenges, old and new, so I hope you're up for more beta work!!! (and if you ever have a fic idea or prompt, let me know) :D

Thanks again for all your help and ideas. Take care *hugs*

What a wonderful comment - thank you so much, I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed it! I really wanted to explore their relationship in a quiet and everyday way, yet hinting through the tarot cards about what the horrors that unfortunately are just around the corner.

I love Sam and Jess, and I always enjoy writing them. Thanks again and take care :)

YESSSSS I love this! I love how you framed these little vignettes of Sam and Jess' relationship using tarot cards and the psychic's predictions, and even though they're small little scenes from their life together it really tells you all you need to know. and hooray for Jess POV!!!

\o/ I'm so happy that you enjoyed it - especially coming from a fellow Sam and Jess writer like yourself.

I really wanted the tarot cards to tell little stories about Jess and her relationship with Sam, as well as hinting at what lies ahead. And I love writing Jess POV, I find her fascinating in so many ways, especially as we know so little about her from canon; it's always fun to flesh her out a little bit more.

Thank you so much for reading and for taking the time to leave a comment. Take care :)
