I love how supportive Lisa is here

I always liked Lisa. I liked how she was with Dean and I think she would have eased in gently those first few days. Glad you liked it!

This is beautiful, I can really see this happening between them. I really liked Lisa, she was good for Dean. I love this line, so sad and so true - "His face morphs into a more natural smile so smoothly you wouldn’t know it was forced if you weren’t looking for it and Lisa’s heart breaks a little at how quickly his defenses kick in."

[tifaching]

Thank you! She was so, so good for him. I hated how they ended up.

Ah, nice.
I really liked Dean and Lisa; in a kinder world, they would have been a perfect couple.

I like that you gave her the determination to set boundaries, but didn't make her...dictatorial. She knows he's hurting, and confronting him in some in-your-face way would never work.

Excellent stuff!

[tifaching]

Let me tell you, I was so afraid even the determination to set boundaries would make her come off looking bad to readers. But I felt it was what she would do and I'm so happy people aren't taking it that way.

I loved them together and you are right. In a different world they could have had a great life.

Thank you!

Oh yes, she totally would! She was not a pushover.

:D

Lovely. Dean's time with Lisa is such a great gap for fanfic. I like your portrayal of Lisa here and I think it fits what we were shown in canon. Dean, of course, is a raw nerve swathed in armor, and Lisa knows it.
His mouth twists into a mockery of a smile as he raises his eyes to meet hers and the split second of hell she sees behind them makes her breath catch.
Beautiful line! Lisa knows Dean needs help and she knows roughly how to help, but I'm so pleased to see her setting boundaries for her own--and Ben's--safety.

"A raw nerve swathed in armor". What a perfect description. It was such a not sure what to do time for them both. I love them together and him sneaking booze and her easing her way into dealing with his trauma seems real. Glad you liked it, thanks!
