Title: Dreaming in Stereo, Part 6 Take 1

Note: I have actually written this part with two different endings. This is the darker of the two. This is...painful...this was very difficult to write, but it is the way I envisioned the ending. I have a also posted the other ending here, which isn't as dark or painful...but

Thank you!

I'm glad you found it and read it and liked it!

This !verse nearly ate me alive. I've never written so much so quickly.

Am I allowed to swear? OMFG

I wasn't going to comment until I'd read both versions of the end but this ... damn it ... this is just soooooo good.

I think I remember now, when this was being posted, why I didn't read it - I wasn't in the mood for anything that was going to make me cry. I am an idiot - crying is a good thing.

I love how Sam, Dean and John became a unit ... fabulous, and now Sam is haunting Dean in a way, but I guess not John ...

Now that I've just about managed to control the tears *sniff* I'll go read version two ... and yes, I'll comment afterwards.

Swear away, my dear!

I'm glad you liked it!

Oh wow.... So, I found all of these stories last night - and read them instead of sleeping! I have tears coming out of my eyes!! These were wonderful....just wonderful. I haven't read the second ending yet, but this is the way it would be. Heartbreaking as it is. :(

Thanks for sharing this with me!! :D

I'm glad you found them...though I'm sorry about the sleeping thing!

Thank you for the feedback!

I'm heartbroken

Dear Chantisma,

I have only just come across your stories and have become addicted to them. I am a fan of the show and love the boys as they are, but your interpretation has been written so beautifully that, please don't think me rude, that this subject would be generally viewed by fans of the show as perverted but you have just shown this strong and beautiful love that we all wish we could have.

I am absolutely heartbroken at this ending. I know it needed to be, but my heart is bleeding at Dean's loss. He is not meant to be in this world alone and I cry at the thought of how lost and lonely his life will be and fear that he will not see through enough to survive.

He cannot last just living with Sam's essence in him. He deserves to find someone who can take care of him, love him and that he can love back. Not in the same way because he gave everything to Sam and won't have any left, but something, to know he is not alone.

Please put me out of my misery as I cry even typing this, to know that Dean will be okay.

Greetings, and welcome to the insanity that is my writing.

While there are probably fans out there who don't get this relationship, who might find the notion of this kind of incest disurbing or perverted, I have found the vast majority of Supernatural fan fiction (and thus the fandom itself) accepts and nurtures it.

I am glad that you found this series of stories so touching. I know that I cried while writing them. As of now, I don't have plans to write anymore in this !Verse, largely because of how painful this ending was and I can't see much in the future for Dean.

Of course, there is the second ending, if you prefer. The one where he doesn't survive alone.

Thank you for reading and leaving such wonderful feedback.

FUCK! *weeps like a little baby*

Okay I clearly lied. Apparently as much as I wanted the happy ending in theory. This is just ... you're right ... this is how the story ends!

It's so horrifically sad! I'm just ... how can I even function after this. It's so ... it hurts ... it hurts ... it just fucking hurts!

But I love you for this, for not holding back, for taking us on this terrible, beautiful, heart-wrenching ride. I'm just ... in awe ... I always think saying I'm "impressed" seems really patronizing, but ... I'm just totally WOWED by this whole series of series, I guess, and you as a writer.

*goes off to cry in the corner*

[ravensword]

Yes...this hurt like hell to write...but it is the way the story ends...for me at least.

It hurts so bad I haven't even considered writing anything beyond it, despite my LOVE of this Verse.

I don't know that I could take it anywhere.

Unlike the Keeper!Verse...where I keep getting plot bunnies to continue.

I'm happy you liked...well...if you can like bawling your eyes out....
