I like this. Sarah feels so real here, and I really like her meeting with Jo. I can't really see her doing anything else but this after that encounter with the Winchesters. : )

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it, and thought it felt true to Sarah. I like to think she'd have had to do something after learning the truth of what's out there.

I like the way Sarah dealt with her fear by helping others and how physically difficult the grave digging is, her reaction to theorpse.

[musesfool]

Thank you! And I can't imagine digging corpses is easy even for the Winchesters. Doing it cold has got to be ridiculously painful.

I absolutely love the idea of Sarah and Jo hunting together or being kind of friends. I love the way Sarah feels and her development throughout this, and the way that both Jo and Sarah take each other seriously. Two thumbs up.

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I liked the idea of them being friends, and of Sarah taking to the hunting life, at least in small, localized ways.

[dark_roast]

Awesome! I love how you expanded on my drabble. I totally squealed when Sarah ran into Jo in the graveyard, and Sarah laughing at Jo's disdainful comment about Dean made me giggle.

I love the idea of Sarah and Jo sticking together and, like vylit said, becoming sort-of-friends. This is fantastic. Totally made my day.

Thank you! I'm so happy you enjoyed it. I knew as soon as I read the drabble that that's the story I'd be remixing, because I've wanted a "Sarah gets deeper into the hunting life" story for a while and this was the perfect opportunity.

Oh, I *love* this! I think I'm making a huge dorky gleeface!!! right now!

Really wonderful expansion of the drabble into something that feels a: right; and b: so totally like a show I'd watch over and over and over and that CLEARLY someone should film.

Thank you! I'm so happy you enjoyed it!
