This feels very them. And I loved the possessed cow thing, ngl. ;)

Thanks! And I loved it too, 900 pounds versus what, 200 pounds? Sam is sure to feel like ground beef for a while.

ah - I liked this, kind bitter sweet, with a really gentle feel about it. and I LOVED the bit about Master Chef Australia (but I have a soft spot for all of them and love George, and Matt with his cravats, and Gary).

Thanks! My best friend is a huge Masterchef Australia fan and have spent countless hours showing me episodes. The judges are all wonderful! (And so different from the judges in American Idol type shows.)

Nicely done, I enjoyed reading it, the pacing was really gentle, the dialogue spot on, and all the little details... <3

The ending is inspired by Every Man Has His Own Story by yohkobennington from last year's exchange, but with the characters reversed.

Thank you for your kind word!

What a beautifully quiet and gentle slice of life fic - I thoroughly enjoyed every word of it!

You captured Sam's POV perfectly. I really enjoyed hearing him thinking about non-supernatural things like how to take mental vacations and how waitresses must see him. It was also great to see the boys do everything things like go grocery shopping, paint walls and run out of milk!

I loved how you focused on Sam being reluctant to call the bunker home, and how easily Dean has taken to it. And the ending was perfect - bittersweet, but still full of hope.

I hope this is the first of many SPN fics I see from you dear anon! This was wonderful. Thank you for sharing :)

Thank you! I was very inspired by last year's story Every Man Has His Own Story by yohkobennington for the ending.

It breaks my heart that Sam doesn't see the bunker as his home on the show, but I have hopes he'll come around.

It definitely won't be the last fic, Summergen was such an awesome place to start. :)
