Yay! You posted! *sends you a beer* You already know how much I love this. My favorite part is Dean with kittehs though. Haha. There's something about Dean and kittehs. Thank you!

[pixel_0]

*chugs* ;D Dean + kittehs = win! So...who's going to write that letter to Kripke? Haha.

Thank you again so very much for all of your help. Couldn't have done it without you. :D

Oooooh, very interesting AU! I like it. And you know....it's kind of fair, actually. Sam's been able to see and talk to his parents for years - now it's Dean's turn.

The Dark Room is creepy, creepy, creepy.
*shiver*

Good stuff!

[pixel_0]

That was kind of my thought too...Dean deserved to see his parents and be able to talk with them as Sam did, and in my own story canon, I think the devil knew that and really punished Sam because of it.

Thank you very much! :)

[legoline]

Okay, I'm...wow. I can't believe you actually picked my Southern AU prompt, the one that I really thought nobody could ever write (I should have known you'd pull it off ;-) ), and spiced it with folklore, and a brilliant story, and kittens and hurt!Dean.

I'm a tiny bit speechless right now. I can't quite believe that you wrote this wonderful, WONDERFUL genius AU for me. I mean...

Okay. Wow. THANK YOU. *uber-squishes*

*flails a lot* I mean---aside from the great plot actually based on a Southern myth ( \0/ ) that was so well executed you managed to squeeze in about everything that I could have wished for. The Mississippi! The description of the plantation! Sam and Dean in those old clothes! Bobby! Ghosts! Mary and John! And then on top, Dean with kittens that he just can't give away and then hurt!Dean and Sam being so worried and then the twist at the end

[legoline]

Oh and by the way...

Dad shook his head. “Go to him. He’s been dreamin’. He can’t say it yet, but he wants you beside him. He’s all alone right now.”

Exhaling heavily, Sam crossed the room. Mom rose from the chair and kissed him on the cheek, a warm breeze against his skin and nothing more. “You’ll be okay, honey. You both will be.”

I choked up a bit there. Whoa, *bows to you*

[pixel_0]

Aw, thank you. :)

It's ALL FOR YOU! Love it and hug it and call it yours, because it's YOUR story. :D

Thank YOU so very much. I'm so, so happy that you enjoyed it! (I almost tried to squeeze in your prompt of post-ap, but man, that would have been HARD. Haha.) I hope it fits your SPN Southern AU. I watched the first couple hours of Gone With the Wind before writing this just to try to get that Southern atmosphere right for you.

(you do realise I'll poke you for a sequel from Dean's POV now, right? :D )

Hee. Well...there's always next year's birthday.... ;)

And again, THIS REALLY IS FOR YOU! :D

You're very welcome, sweetie.

*squishity squishes*

oh, wow. This was a really fascinating read.

I am most happy about the image of Dean and the kittens. Everytime I read something too angsty (and for me a little angst can already be too much ;)) I demand Dean and kittens from legoline, so I find it funny that she requested baby animals and you went with kittens here. I will go back to that scene a lot in the future to even out all the angsty stuff I might have to read. :D

I really enjoyed how you described the scenery and formed pictures in my head. I also liked that Sam is the one trying to protect Dean from the bad things outside and that for a change Dean gets to live a normal life. Well, until the end at least. I guess you just can't win against the devil.

[pixel_0]

Hee, yeah, this story sure had a lot of angst. But! Not completely my fault because legoline asked for hurt!Dean...so...yeah. Not my fault. ;) Glad that you liked the kittens part though. Such a cute image, isn't it? *g*

Thank you very much! :D

Btw, your icon is hypnotizing...*watches*

[roadrunner1896]

It is hypnotizing, isn't it? That is why I had to take it.

mata090680 made it.

And yeah, that scene is too adorable. In my mind I made it a black and gray tiger like my cat Mik was.

Yeah, he had a thing for feet. Or maybe he just couldn't take not being the centre of attention and just attacked people who tried to watch tv. :D

[pixel_0]

Oh, mata's icons are always excellent. :D *thumbs up*

Aw, kitty! He's adorable! *pets him*

So, now we've got to get somebody to write a fic where Dean and Sam have a cat that attacks their feet while they're watching TV? Yes? Hee.

[apieceofcake]

Nicely done!..and the twist at the end!

Enjoyed it, thank you :-)
