Functioning Bruises (3b/?)

Gabriel sat up and grabbed another cigarette. “Well, hold onto your underwear, big boy, because what’s coming next pretty much sucks on an epic scale.”

Dean snuck another cigarette from Gabriel’s pack. “All right,” he said, “consider my loins girded.”

Gabriel chuckled. “Yeah, well...after I went into foster care, I got moved around a lot, obviously. ( Read more... )

This was a fantastic update to a really wonderful story. This story hits really close to home for me for a lot of reasons and I love the way you've handled all the various themes and issues. I know you're a bit nervous about some of the triggers, but when I read this I honestly cried because the way you depicted Gabriel and Dean's reactions and feelings in regards to their respective situations felt so incredibly accurate and familiar that I was blown away. I can relate to many of the experiences of both Dean and Gabriel and I just want to thank you for handling all of those topics with such honesty and compassion. I can't wait to read more.

I'm so very honored to hear that this story is touching you, thank you. It's hard to write, because like you the issues in this fic hit me very close to home, which is part of the reason I wanted to write it. It's helping me deal with some of my feelings about things, but I am so happy that others are enjoying it too. More in roughly two days, I'd say!

I can't wait to read more. Honestly, I feel like this story was written for me. I can see where it might be very difficult to write this, but I just want you to know how much I appreciate it. Thanks!

Woohoo! Moooooore!

I'm on the verge of having the weepies for like, the sixth time tonight. Good lord, this is perfect. You handled the more sensitive subjects in the story wonderfully- the portrail of Gabriel is utterly brilliant, poingnant and painful without unrealistic melodrama.

Dean, as usual, kills me- feeling like a failure, that he's a screw-up, that everything is his fault hurts, but it's something that I like, it shows a good frailty.

And the way he reacted to Gabriel's confession was spot-on- I suppose with the dyslexia Dean would know about that feeling of shame that comes with admitting your own difficulties.

Gah, I need more now. I feel like a greedy kid. Hell, if you need anything- a beta reader, someone to spitball ideas with- I will pay you for the job. Seriously, this is an exemplary fic so far.

Oh thank you! I'm so happy you're liking it. I may end up sending you a pm to spitball ideas so I hope you were serious! Thanks for reading!

Go nuts, honestly. Spitball away!

Wow, just wow. I'm not quite sure what to say, but I'll give it a shot.

First off, I love Debriel, I love the pairing and I love anybody that writes it, but more than that I love it when someone does justice to it, which you, my dear friend, have done in spades. This story is awesome, it's incredible, and highly enjoyable to read. It's so good in fact I've just figured out a way to track it (behold, learning new things for the sake of good fanfic). I love how you've written both Dean and Gabriel, given each their respective problems to muddle through in life with but still brought them together, and Sam? Sam's adorable ( ... )

Hey, thanks for reading! Yes, I'm sorry about the formatting problems for this and 3a. It was touch getting it up and I ended up using the rich text palate instead of the html one, which is what I usually use. In rich text I have to color the writing white so that it shows up well on my journal. Maybe that's something to do with it ( ... )

NOTE: The next chapter won't be up for about a week and a half. I'm moving, and will be without the webs for a while (whhhhhhhyyyyyyy????), but rest assured, guys, I'll keep working on it, and as soon as I can, I'll post.

Love you guys!
