Judging by this first chapter I'm going to love this story! It's haunting and skillfully written.
Author's Response: Ooh, glad you liked it! When I first posted this story on ffnet the site crashed after I uploaded the Prologue and it had to sit there for dayyyyyys without chapter 1! It really does start to make sense once you start reading chapter 1...!

Just Great, loving the whole concept...
Author's Response: You know, I really owe you about 5 responses here!! But I'm lazy...!! Thanks so much for reading this one - had to rush the ending a bit, but I think it still works... Oh, you've got that bit to come yet!!
Reviewer: kwater (Signed) · Date: 20/06/07 08:29 PM · On: Chapter 4
Here I am with five chapters done, when I'd intended only one...I have got to take a break, however I'm loving this story...Thanks for the great read - K

Just can't let them be happy, really I don't blame you, we all like to beat them down a bit...
Reviewer: kwater (Signed) · Date: 20/06/07 07:51 PM · On: Chapter 1
Ahh, you're killing me Iris, I'm supposed to be finishing my own stories instead here I am moving on to the next chapter...LOL
Reviewer: kwater (Signed) · Date: 20/06/07 07:23 PM · On: Prologue
Great start, I've read your work over on the VS and loved it and know I'm working my way through your stories here. Each one has been a pleasure to read - K
Author's Response: Aw that's lovely that you're taking the time to read my stuff! I'm glad I'm nor boring you senseless anyway!

Iris -- My good friend had been simply gushing about this story a few weeks back. :) "Ahhhh.... FiremanDean!" So I made a note to myself that I would come back to it when I was done writing and before I started writing. You know what I mean. Anyway, I am completely in love with your VS stories, and I knew I would love this as well. I think you might have been fooling yourself a bit when you said you didn't have a plot and didn't know where this was going to go. Subconsciously, this story had you gripped and you were obviously compelled to tell it. You did a fabulous job. Your plot wove fabulously well with the actual story arc and the characters were themselves even in the alternate universe! I loved most how the boys talked to each other at the table, shooting questions just to get to know each other. But everything was great -- Sam's love and affection for Jessica -- CHOOSING Jessica to be the YED's vehicle! Ingenious, my friend. I mean, who else would compell Sam to those drastic measures. I thought the John-in-the-mirror scene was tragically spooky. I mean, I know he is their father, but looking at that experience through their never-before-seen-supernatural-events eyes, it would have been spooky. :) Thanks so much for sharing your talent, for your humor, and for a damn fun read.
Author's Response: *Sniff* Aw gawd bless ya! That was such a nice review! *sniff* I'm all overcome with emotion now - wait - here's a single tear, Dean-style... I'm really glad you thought the guys were in character, coz I had a reviewer over on ffnet who said they didn't like it because they weren't - but like you say, it's hard to have them exactly as they are in the show in an AU story where they grew up having different experiences from 'our' boys! Thanks again for that lovely review! :)

Well done. I especially liked that Lucy thought she recognized them. Interesting twist having a "substitue" big brother in the picture, too. This tag really captured the sacrifices Dean and Sam have had to make in order to do what they do. Normal, and all it entails, is out of the question.
Author's Response: G;ad the tag scene seemed to work for you!! I figured the Nixons would still have adopted someone, even if Sam wasn't around to adopt!
Reviewer: freyja529 (Signed) · Date: 11/03/07 08:12 AM · On: Chapter 8
That was quite simply one of the best fanfic stories I've read, period. When John was being pulled back from the mirror...when Jess came to the door and I just knew it was the demon...when the boys were interacting with the demon...when they all had to go through the motions again at the hospital knowing full well how things would end...I was riveted. You are an incredibly talented storyteller and you've done a helluva job with this one!
Author's Response: *blushes* Ooh, thanks so much for that lovely review! I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
Reviewer: Gumnut (Signed) · Date: 11/03/07 01:28 AM · On: Prologue
I was typically confused at the beginning of this cos I'm just so slow upstairs :D All I could chant in my head was 'No Dean! No Dean!', but this is Irismay! There can't be 'No Dean'. There must be Dean! :D But as I read into the prologue and the AU you had created formed clearly in my head, the panic morphed into a subtle pain at the lack of Dean. There is something just not right about Sam growing up without Dean! I can see this is going to be an intriguing fic and I turn the page with eagerness and a painful squawking wail of 'What happened to Dean???' Cos Dean without Sam hurts even more. Great stuff :D ::grins eagerly:: Nutty
(sense is not a requirement)
Author's Response: Heh heh heh... The likelihood of my writing a Dean-less story seems very remote somehow... The bizarre thing is, I seem to keep writing Sam stories just lately! You're quite right though, you really can't have one without another!
Reviewer: Oceane (Signed) · Date: 08/03/07 06:16 PM · On: Tag Scene
That was lovely irismay. Sweet and sad in the same time. Added a nice final touch to your amazaing story irismay.
Author's Response: Glad you enjoyed! (And that you found it!!)
Reviewer: Oceane (Signed) · Date: 06/03/07 09:15 PM · On: Chapter 8
What a terrific finale to an amazing and riveting story. The end with John and Dean was so emotional, I got tears in my eyes. Thanks irismay for the ride, I enjoyed it very much.
Author's Response: Glad you enjoyed it Oceane! And thanks for all the lovely reviews!
Reviewer: mizpah (Signed) · Date: 05/03/07 12:20 AM · On: Chapter 8
Oh, no! Not boring! Definitely not boring! Heart in mouth, balancing on edge of seat, maybe, but not bored - oh, no, no, no! Great ending! And I firmly believe that Dean can save Sam, and that they both will live through whatever the demon has planned. What a story! Thank you so much for this. It was a wonderful, funny, touching, scary journey through what might have been.
Author's Response: Glad I didn't offend anyone with the 'spoiler geek' reference!! I also think Dean's destiny is to save Sam from what he believes to be his destiny... Hopefully he'll be successful!! Thanks for reading and reviewing!
Reviewer: Thru Terrys Eyes (Signed) · Date: 04/03/07 05:11 PM · On: Chapter 8
Iris that was brilliant. I was on tenterhooks trying to figure out what Dean was gonna do. And I loved the fanfiction spoiler reference. Very clever. Standing ovation.
Author's Response: *Bows* Thanks soooo much! I promise I'll get my head back into the VS now - thanks for being patient with me!
Reviewer: alena (Signed) · Date: 04/03/07 02:34 PM · On: Prologue
I don't often read AU stories, but I really enjoyed this one! It kept me hovering around the different sites hoping for updates. Thanks
Author's Response: ...And I'm so very slow at updating, too! Got there in the end though! Thanks for taking the time to give my AU a try! I only really read Ridley James' AUs, but I seem to keep writing them!
Reviewer: Tree66 (Signed) · Date: 04/03/07 02:14 PM · On: Chapter 8
Iris I so didnt see that ending coming - kudos to you- I dont get tricked often. Enjoyed the hell out of it girl! Awesome story!
Author's Response: Glad it wasn't too predictable! I felt a bit bad for Jess - and Sam, obviously - and John - oh and Dean, too... One of these days I'll write something that'll save all of them!
Reviewer: Thru Terrys Eyes (Signed) · Date: 01/03/07 11:31 AM · On: Chapter 6
Finally got to read this!!!! Crap iris that was breathtaking, brilliant!
Author's Response: I just saw the word 'crap' there and thought that was a comment on it!! (Heheheheh!)
Reviewer: Oceane (Signed) · Date: 28/02/07 09:45 PM · On: Chapter 6
Wow! That was amazing, absolutely brilliant. Poor John, I feel sorry for him, he tried to save his boys but didn't have any luck with his deals with the demon. But now they've the chance to get rid of the YED. Can't wait to know what'll be the deal this time. Don't worry irismay, I'm fully awake, you get me all thrilled and riveted for your story. You did a terrific work with this chapter. I'm so looking forward for the next chapter. Hmmm...raindrops on Jensen's eyelashes *sigh* indeed.
Author's Response: Glad you're still enjoying Oceane!! John definitely has to be one of the unluckiest men in the world (or the next) doesn't he?
Reviewer: mizpah (Signed) · Date: 28/02/07 01:43 AM · On: Chapter 6
Raindrops on Jensen's eyelashes, eh? That's rather special. Dean girls unite! Definitely still awake after that chapter! This is getting so intense. I can't wait for the finale - the tension is really ramping up. Damn John and his deals! Those poor boys.
Author's Response: Well, where would we be without John deciding he knows what's best for everyone, huh? I love him / I hate him / I love him / I hate him... It goes on...
Reviewer: freyja529 (Signed) · Date: 27/02/07 08:51 PM · On: Chapter 6
Wow! What a cool way to tie everything together. And now they get another chance to take the YED out! And I loved the end note about the lashes - they're worthy of their own story! Looking forward to the next chapter.
Author's Response: Hah hah! We ought to do a challenge - 100 words on the beauty of Jensen's eyelashes... Jeez, I think I could write about 1000!!!
Reviewer: Tree66 (Signed) · Date: 27/02/07 12:41 PM · On: Chapter 6
Iris - I'm really sorry I havent been leaving reviews- but I HAVE been reading. I love the way you are bringing the two universes together again - I wasnt sure how you were gonna do it- but I am totally impressed- Awesome job girl!!!!!! Oh- and yes- Fireman!Dean - dude I so want to go back and join the department again - thanks for that! I know you didnt do it specifically for me- but I'll take it just the same!
Author's Response: If the Fire Dept ever wanted to go on a female recruitment drive, I think Fireman!Dean would be the way to go...!
Reviewer: ABYRGE (Signed) · Date: 27/02/07 11:55 AM · On: Chapter 6
The story is getting better all the time. Can't wait to read more.
Author's Response: Phew! Glad that chapter wasn't too boring...!! Thanks for reading!
Reviewer: freyja529 (Signed) · Date: 21/02/07 08:34 PM · On: Chapter 5
*Sob* Oh, Dean. This story has reeled me in and I can't wait to read more. Very cool premise. Highly entertaining yet heartbreaking at times. Hope you post again soon!
Author's Response: Ooh so sorry to break your heart! Glad you're still enjoying!
