You Get What You Need

Author: khakigrrl

Rating: PG-ish

Disclaimers: If I owned them, I wouldn't have a mortgage.

Prerequisites: This is an AU continuation of the amazing AU fic "Beneath the Trees, Where Nobody Sees" by minviendha. She kindly let me play in her section of the SPN sandbox, and her story *MUST* be read first to have any idea what's going on

You make me so so so. Happy. You made a happy ending (something I did not believe possible!), and I am very happy John made you let him say his piece. This is just - good and I am delighted you chose to make this continuation. Although now my more depression time stamp AUs are probably shot to hell because I like this one better.

You have a great balance of pain that melts, if not wholly, into possibility by the end. Fantastic job.

I'm soooooo pleased and relieved that you like it, especially since it really took a swing in tone away from what I just loved in your fic. I think therapy's crippled me. I can't just let hurt feelings and misunderstandings lie there. :-(

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...
*takes a deep breath*
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

I *want* more stories in your AU! I *NEED* more stories in your AU! Please don't let me have ruined it!

[minviendha]

You haven't ruined it! You have improved upon it. XD But I am such a sucker for poking at fics beyond what is reasonable, so I'll probably do it anyway.

It is just that your happy ending makes me happy. XD I'll hold onto this one anyway, even if I don't take that route. IT'S A GOOD THING TRUST ME. <3 <3

[khakigrrl]

*whew* That's a relief.

I am really glad you liked it, but I'm also glad you're gonna write more in your 'verse. As I'm apparently incapable of writing depression, I've gotta rely on others for my fix. ;-)

This is fantastic! Very poignant :(

[khakigrrl]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it.

Oh, wow, beautiful. And a beautiful comment to the original as well!

Though I'm still hoping that Sam DOES goes back to college. With Dean. But I've probably been wanting for years for them to settle down and not being miserable, so at least it's a familiar feeling.

Yay!

[khakigrrl]

Thank you!

You know, if you really do want a fic where Sam goes to college with Dean, I'll give you the same largesse minviendha gave me. Feel free to write and AU of this AU of her AU, and take them back to school. ;-)

Oh evil evil thought *peers into the middle distance at the Winchesters* It shall have to percolate. But if it happens, you're going to be the first(ish) to know. (Firstish because no doubt i'l be complaining to various friends about how I really SHOULDN'T do this buuuut....)

*grin*

[khakigrrl]

:-D

Do it, do it, do it!

Can't believe John made peace with Sam, it was good reading that. Dean modifying the Impala for Sam - perfect! Loved this story, thanks for sharing.

[khakigrrl]

I'm glad it worked for you.

That John was a thorn in my side. It was supposed to be a short fic, but he would not shut up until he got to talk to Sam. :-P

So glad you thought it worked, though, and also the Impala modifications by Dean. He's a good brother. :-D

[embroiderama]

I love the way John and Dean are there for Sam, and the modified Impala--wow!

[khakigrrl]

Thank you! So glad you liked it. :-D
