Whoa, very intense on all fronts. I may be reading a bit into it, but did we have the death of Will so Dean could be resurrected? And John, spirit walking?

I love how all your stories take on different genres, settings and backgrounds. Never the same thing twice

Thanks so much, hon! I'm so glad the intensity came through. You never know.

Hah! I do love a bit of variety. My next story takes place in an insane asylum...so I've been steeped in research on mental health so much, I think I'm going crazy! ;) Always something new to learn. :P

oh I love this so much! I must admit, I'm amazed that you note that this is extremely Dean-centric. I feel like I'm getting a lot of Sam's pov (poor kid just wants his brother back!) and I'm all stressed for John wanting to get back to his kids. This chapter was painful to read, but so rich in brotherly love, and Dean sacrificing himself for Sam, when he doesn't even think of Sam as his brother, is riveting. Maybe this is just who Dean is and he'd do this for any kid, but I'm having feels about this because it seems like at some level he KNOWS Sam is someone pretty important.

Thank you for this!

Huh! You know, I always tend to write for Dean...or explore parts of Dean's psyche...so I pretty much put a blanket "Dean-centric" disclaimer on my stories, but you're right in a way. This is certainly the most "brother-centric" story I've ever written. I have this HUGE penchant of side-lining Sam while Dean has all the adventures around (or without) him. I'm terrible that way. But I wanted to make sure that Sam was very "present" in this story. So, yeah...we get to see a lot of Sam's POV in this...so that's pretty cool.

Yes, I think this is just who Dean is...and that will come into play very strongly next chapter. It's both a blessing and a curse. ;)

Thank YOU for reading and commenting!

It's a lot more family centric than your previous stories IMO. Loving John and the spirit walking as well.

Oh yeah...John is a trip and a half to write. He's a great character...so flawed and aggravating...but his heart is in the right place, I think...and he definitely loves his sons.

Action-packed and filled with intense emotion throughout. I could see each scene before my eyes as if I was there- flipping from John and the Native Americans to the two Boys. I could feel the pain in Dean's hands and the heat on my skin as the sun burned them. You paint the story with your words and the picture is vivid. Each chapter so well done. And then to leave it where you did and to know the last chapter is the last....made me both look forward to what is coming and to dread it also. Don't want a good thing to end. I wait patiently for your next chapter. Thank You.

Thank you for this. Wow. Thanks. I have this HUGE imagery kink...hehe. I know I have the tendency to go overboard, and I'm learning with each story when to pull back and when to let go (it's such a balancing act). I'm not perfectly there yet, but I'm glad that this worked for you. That's wonderful to hear!

Yep...next chapter is the last, but I am already working on my next story. It'll be a bit longer than this one, but it'll be coming. I promise. :)

Thanks again!
