I really enjoyed this a lot - I loved Dean's bonding with Jacob, the tension between him and Joshua (and Sam's seeming obliviousness to the true undercurrents of what was going on), plus the casefile was really intriguing and you can never go wrong with setting things on fire, imo. And I really liked the discussion of what should be done about the parasite, and how Dean, and eventually, Sam, couldn't let the kid be hurt. Nice work all around.

Thank you very much - I'm glad you enjoyed! It's especially good to know that the emotional components of the fic worked as well as the plotty part, and all the things you've picked out are things we worked hard on, so I'm most gleeful to hear they came across!

Thanks very much for the lovely feedback!

Thank you very much! I'm really glad you enjoyed it. :D

you can never go wrong with setting things on fire, imo. - Oh, I agree entirely. I may have got a bit over-excited about writing some of the fire scenes, hahaha. Fortunately, zooey_glass04 puts up with my pyromaniac ways. Thanks again for the lovely feedback, I'm so pleased it worked for you!

This worked in many many ways! I love stories (and episodes) where Dean and Sam completely disagree on what things mean and how to proceed, and yet their viewpoints are equally valid.

This had a very episodic feel to it, with a build-up to a mini-climax, as they think they have the solution and try it and it doesn't work and ... commercial break!

And then they're back to try something else.

Dean definitely has the rapport with the kids in the series canon, and you played that up beautifully here.

Nice job!

Thank you! I'm very glad you enjoyed:D

It's a great compliment to think that this felt like an ep for you, and that the boys' disagreement worked well. We wanted a situation which would take them a little out of their normal roles, so it's great to hear that came across well.

Thanks for the lovely feedback!

I really enjoyed this. The story was interesting and written very well. The relationship between the brothers was just the right balance between being humourous and protective. I feel that you managed to capture Sam and Dean very well. Great job and thanks for a great read.

Thank you very much! I'm so pleased the characterisation worked for you, as that's something which is very important to us. It's great to hear you enjoyed it. :D

Thanks again for the lovely feedback!

Thank you very much! As parenthetical said above, characterisation is something which is really important to both of us, so it's a real pleasure to know the boys rang true for you. I'm especially glad that the relationship between the two of them seemed right to you.

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for the lovely feedback.

Oh, wow. This was fantastic. Loved the plot, Joshua creeped me out thoroughly, and the way the boys were written was just wonderful - pitch perfect. I enjoyed this a whole lot - nicely done. *g*

[zooey_glass04]

Thank you! We worked really hard on this and it feels so worth it when we hear that people really enjoyed it. Characterisation is something which is particularly important to both of us, so the fact that you think we caught the boys' voices is really a huge compliment.

Thanks for your lovely comments!

Wooooooooooo, thank you so much for the lovely feedback! It's wonderful to hear that Joshua was creepy, and that the characterisation in general worked for you. :D Thanks again!
