Title:  Troubled Waters

Rating:  PG, Gen

Summary:  In northwestern Washington, Sam and Dean run into a cult, missing people, plagues, some really humid weather, and possessed trees.

*shakes head* I see epilogue and discover I somehow completely missed a chapter. Or I've forgotten I read it (which is entirely possible). So, go me, two chapters at once!

Great ending! I was wondering how you'd tie it all up. Gotta say that I almost choked when Sam started thinking about the Whomping Willow in the last chapter.

Really well done, even the argument between them. There's always going to be friction, it's normal for them and you did a great job of showing that.

Dang, no more. Crap, I'm gonna be bummed now.

Oh yes, the Whomping Willow--gotta love HP. Glad the frictional parts seemed natural--they're not easy to write. Thanks for all your great compliments!

Wait wait wait...

did I miss it? The comeupance? Jasper's? Or is he the dead body? What about the other woman? Did she go home too? (the lady with the clothesline's sister?) (Is this even the right story?) (Who am I?)

Am I trying to get you to write more? Darn..you see through my plot!!

Anyway, really enjoyed the ride. Thanks for sharing.

Well, see, I hate conclusions. I'd write essays in high school and get through the into and the body paragraphs and say, "Why do I need to write a conclusion? If the rest of the essay is any good at all, the reader should be able to come up with the conclusion on his/her own." So, well... if you want the other woman to go home, she can. If you want Jasper to get his comeuppance (which he well deserves), he can get it. See? The rest of the story's there... somewhere. *shudders at the realization that there's all kinds of loose ends which could be addressed in a sequel* If I typed "The end" after the last paragraph, would it help? *grin*

Yeah! You did it! I just got back in time for the ending...I feel like I missed half the movie! Now, are you going to write that story where they go up north just so they can drive around with Mrs. Edwards in a stately grey pantsuit? I'm so there.

[northface11]

Hmm, I'll have to think about Mrs Edwards, try and see what sort of supernatural trouble can befall her next. Or maybe she can insinuate herself into somebody else's problems... that seems likely.

Saw three film sets this morning on the way to work... apparently one of them was SPN! Of course, all I saw was the big white trucks. Perhaps tomorrow morning, I can persuade the bus driver to detour down random streets to access blocked-off alleys in which filming is occuring.

I liked Sammy's reflections on free will and fate.

Nice use of poetry at the end.

*sigh* the boys dodge another chick-flick moment!

[northface11]

The free will bit--it wasn't going to be in there at all; I'd had about twelve words of Sam thinking his and Dean's differing opinions over, but then I got poked in the ribs and had to do something about it and, well, this came out. Because I'm not a fate person myself, and I don't think they are, either.

Poetry?! That's terrifying! But thanks! And the lack of a chick-flick moment... don't blame me, blame Dean. *grin*

Good ending.I love Sam thinking that the tree looked like the Whomping Willow.It'd be funny if he compared the cult to the Death Eaters and Voldemort.Start a new story soon.

[northface11]

Thanks! Hmm, I can see the parallels with the Death Eaters... maybe I was channelling J.K. Rowling without even knowing it. *grin* And a new story--I was thinking about one this morning on the bus, and grinning to myself a little crazily, and other commuters were looking at me, a little bit concerned. I'll have to learn a poker face before the ride home!
