Author's Response: My work here is done!  Glad you - uh - liked it!  Thanks for dropping me a line!

Unexpected. Genius. Heart-rending. Perfect.

Author's Response:

I'm glad you enjoyed it!  I've been Kripke'd a little bit since I wrote it, but what the hey, I think most of us have by now!

Thanks for reading!

i hate you.=>

Author's Response: Er... Thanks.  I think...!

I hate you! Na how could I hate you..you wrote this amazing story. Man I loved the twist at the end about the demon having Sam's body and Sammy being a ghost, sheesh..you sure do know how to tell em! I think the saddest part of this was just the end few lines, the familiarity (sp?) of their banter especially "bitch" "Jerk" was the real tear jerker.

 Absolutely amazing, breath taking. Basically if this story was a movie it would win an oscar lol:)

OMG, not much chance of me ever winning anything if Jensen can't even get nominated for an Emmy when he so deserves it! 

I'm glad you enjoyed the story anyway!  I figured maybe I needed to lighten up a little bit at the end, and the whole bitch/jerk routine is always good for that!

My brain is on overload!! This was poignant, sad, beautiful…final – and it totally freaked me out. My antenna was spiking ‘Sam!” pretty early, but the ‘dimples’ was the confirmation I didn’t want to face up to. As a possibility it is scary, as a fic it is an awesome concept.

Your Dean snark was spectacular. Perfect timing, dripping sarcasm, fuelled by hatred and regret. You had Dean deliver with a coldness and hardness that screamed his grief and despair while he was really trying to mask it. My fav – “You’re telling me Daddy was too cheap to spring for a throne? Dude! I’d check that Last Will and Testament of his again if I were you.” coz it really hit home and I cheered reading the demon hit off guard. At times, the wisecracks were downright funny, although I struggled to laugh - “All that howlin’ was messin’ with my Zeppelin.” So true to Dean.

I loved the way you blended actual lines and from the show with your work. You used them creatively and it added credibility and plausibility to your twist. Very cool.

A breath catching moment was the imagery of Dean stating his choice of locale: “Because this is where it ended… This is where I lost him.” Yeah, I was pretty much gone at this *stifled sniff*

We all know how well Jared does evil, and so I had the vision of “Sam’ firmly in my head, and boy did you deliver him spiteful and sinister.  “He grinned, short and fast, dimpling cheeks completely incongruous with the Hellfire burning deep in his hazel eyes” - an absolutely awesome description!

I was in agony thinking how damn hard it all must have been for Dean. “… blinking hard and trying not to flinch when that too-young face was thrust so close to his own” - where he was faced with his Sam but not his Sam. Another line that showed this trauma with heart wrenching accuracy– “forcing him to look back up into eyes he’d known better than his own for twenty-five years” Having to live with that thing in Sam’s beautiful body while his beautiful soul was incorporeal around him - heart shattering words! And all the while the boys hatching a master hunt was master original!! At the end of the day, Dean’s ability to hide his true self was the winning hand…such irony.

And after reading to the end, this line suddenly makes such sense “I know where Sam went,” Dean said softly through gritted teeth” You got me again.

Your finale was freakin’ spectacular. I saw the warrior begin to unleash in Dean as your brilliant plot unfolded.  Once he eyeballed the demon and stepped up into his face with these words “You have no idea how true that is” I knew Dean was ready to fire with deadly intent. And boy did you give him his vengeance!

“Dean had seen the lightshow before” - what outstanding line that put us all right back in that Wyoming graveyard. But my heart just shattered with the image that the body “jerking, spasming, being electrocuted” was Sam’s. Poor Dean! *loud sob* And Dean catching Sam’s body so gently broke my heart into a million bits with your words that “his body was still Sam’s after all”. Stunning!

And your farewell lines, the jerk-bitch routine, perfect.This was an amazing read. So glad you went AWOL from VS for a while.

Oh *gulp* I think that's one of the nicest reviews I've ever had for anything I've ever written!  I, too, think Jared just does Evil!Sam so well, but as in BUABS I like it when it's Evil!Sam but not really Evil!Sammy, if you know what I mean!  I really don't want Sam to turn evil - because of what it would do to both of the boys - but if it came down to it, I think Dean would do the right thing by Sam eventually.  In this story, that was easier because Sammy was no longer in his own body, so it was just a case of offing the thing masquerading around with his brother's face.  Harder to do when his brother's still in the body...

Thanks again for the amazing review! 

I like the twist - not the bad guy being Sam (figured that out) - but that Dean knew all along and Ruby is an angel.

Thank you 

 

Author's Response:

Ah, but Sam's not really the bad guy!  Much as I love Evil!Sam, I couldn't bear it if he actually turned out to be evil in the end!  I do like the idea of Ruby as an angel though - but Kripke would never do angels for real on the show!

I don't do deathfics at all, so I kind of shied away from this when I first saw it posted, but then it was recomended by Cookie6 whose opinion I truly respect so I gave it a go...

...and am I pleased I didn't miss out on this gem? I was pretty much captivated from the first sentence, your style is very compulsive, fluid and easy to read. And the way you twisted the whole reality of what is happening on the show right now was masterful, and very enjoyable.

Deathfic it may have been but I enjoyed reading this immensely and I'm going to seek out your other work to add to my list.

You have a lot of talent, thanks for the read!

Author's Response:

Aw bless, ya!  Thanks you!  I don't do deathfics either, as a rule, so was quite surprised when this happened...!  I guess it's not your traditional doom and gloom deathfic - Sam's going off to heaven and everything, and never did turn evil, which is a happy ending of sorts!

Thanks for reading!

That was GREAT!  Very unique...I gotta say I knew the demon was Sam from the beginning somehow lol...liked how you turned the whole thing into one big plan to kill the BIG bad!

Really great job!

Author's Response:

I tried to make it fairly obvious who Dean was dealing with, but didn't want to make it too easy!

Glad you enjoyed it! 

Very cool take on the deal... I have to say I was thrilled to see you posting and you didn't let me down.  Great read, thanks

Author's Response: Glad I didn't disappoint!  Thanks a lot for the continued support!

Hate you like always, SHaz - cause even your One-shots are awesome! Now get your ass back to work on the VS so you can embarrass me and all the pathetic shit I write on there.

Oh- and I'm sooooo telling Dawn on you! LOL!

Author's Response: Heh heh you think I'm scared of Dawn? Er...  Only when she has a shotgun pointed at me!  And... yeah okay probably most of the time...

Oh my god... choked.

What else can i say!

Author's Response: Say "I want to give Iris a million dollars" if you like!  Hopefully you enjoyed it anyway!
