Thank you so much! Yes, if you ever re-read you'll find that I was very careful about my wording. I was scared at some points that it would be too obvious (Dean's hallucination when they're eating being one point I might have given it away). But I'm really glad that it worked.
Oh my goodness I adored broken Dean! I mean really adored him! "...took good care of my lil lover" How adorable is that!
You had me good and proper that's for sure, I really thought he was trying to fix Dean and it didn't even click when Sam had that little bag that he hoped he wouldn't have to use, I thought he was going to kill himself and Dean! That was so clever, you are a genius my friend and I love your fic, I don't realise how much I miss it until I read a new one.
I really, really didn't want this to end, not one little bit. I will most definitely be reading this again and again especially now that I know what Sam was trying to fix.
Thank you so much for this early Christmas present :))
I hope you and your husband have a wonderful Christmas.
Thank you so much, Jenny! I'm so glad you liked it. Yes, I definitely used a lot of misdirection in this piece...I'm glad it worked on you! Hee!
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas, too!
And...sure!...I always have other stories in my head. One story that I still want to write, I've had in my brain since 2011 when I was doing research for Killing Me Softly. Heh. And I have a long, multi-chapter story that I have done a lot of research for and even wrote the first chapter to about a year ago. I still intend to finish it. I do. And I have a couple of one/two-shots that I would like to bust out soon.
It's just a matter of sitting down to it. I'm rather lazy. :P But I'll get around to them, all. I'm sure!
I'm glad I didn't know what the twist was. That was incredibly well-done, and not once did I think it was anything but Sam being consumed by the desire to save Dean.
When he had that breakdown and left Dean all alone in the car, I thought, 'That's the way he gets, so obsessive, he'd have been this way about the deal if Dean had let him.' And there you go. As angry as I was at Sam for wasting his time looking for a cure for Dean's trauma--so I thought--I also thought that if he could just let it go, he'd make Dean happy and he'd also take such good care of him. They probably would have had a good life....
It was weird. The ending was a good ending, I guess, Dean back all healthy again, but it was sad too, because if it follows canon, Sam's about to throw his brand-new chance to have his brother back away.
This was excellent, a tough read but worth every sad second. :)
Aw, yeah you know...I hear you! Of course...it could have been much worse. I've had this story in my brain for over two years now...and my original plan, the whole time, had been to end the story WITHOUT the epilogue. Oh yes. Right? I didn't consider writing an epilogue until after I'd written the hellhound scene and thought..."I'mma be mobbed by a bunch of pitchfork and torch wielding fangirls for this."
But you know...the end is as happy as it gets for the Winchesters...which is to say...not all that fuckin' happy. Heh... but at least they are alive and fit to fight another day. That's all we can hope for them at this point.
Thank you SO much for reading and for your lovely comments. I can't tell you how I appreciate that.
