sorry, kid read ch 1 with NO review....didn't realize til I finished #2....had to go backwards.....Louy this is an awesome tale so far...

Very impressed by your knowledge of all these wonderful mostly underread tales........thanks for bringing them to light...

Poor Dean...my heart gets heavier and heavier as his time grows shorter and shorter

Author's Response: So glad you're a Gaiman fan Jude...and that being a fan, it's working for you...that has made my day! Thank you so much for the review and the stars XXX Louy

That was beautiful.  It's so hard to describe unknown or unusual things well but you do it brilliantly.  I had no doubt in mind about what was happening.  I love this story and wish we could have something this beautiful be the solution to Dean's little problem on the show.  Somehow I think we're going to get bloody on the show, not beautiful.

Thanks for the read.  I can't wait for more!

Author's Response:

I don't know what to say, I have the biggest grin on my face right now, thank you so much for this incredible review and the stars and the next chapter won't be long at all. X Louy

Lou

i love this chapter, the tension in Sam and Bobby is palpable, and Dean's suffering is terrible and realistic (and ... a delight!)

I love the fact that Dean does his whole 'two year old' refusing to take his nasty medicine and that poor Sammy has to force him. And then Sam's terror that he'll remember and hate him for it. touching.

I don't need to tell you that the getting him out of the car and taking his shirt off (perv!) was a pleasure to read and the pain of the bequesting in awesomely realistic and terrifying.

I am so intrugued by the whole bequesting deal  very original and I am so hooked in.

Awesome job, Dream rocks but then that's no surprise as Lou does too!

Bev xxxx

Author's Response: Thanks Bev, and there will be a whole lot more explained about the 'bequesting' a bit later. It's all planned just got to write it...lol Aint that always the way...Thanks mate XX Louy

Bullet!!

Your name is perfect for you, you're a bullet because you're one hell of a story teller, you have the great ability of setting up a scene.

Excellent descriptives, been meaning to email you so we can talk Led Zepplin music;) Boy the dog part made me flinch, I've been bitten by a pit and once they get hold of you...well it's not good. Great visuals and the cliff rocked.

I think you have to be one of my favorite authors since I've been on this site.

Corey x x

Author's Response:

Well, Corey you're rapidly turning into my favorite reviewer...lol Thanks for such a great compliment and you MUST check out gaelicspirit's work for LZ references, it's littered with them and fantastic fiction...

And you must e-mail me now, you've said you're going to in print and in front of witnesses, you can tell me what you were doing to upset that poor defenceless pit bull...lol

Thanks for the review and the rating Corey...e-mail me when you've got time to chat! X Louy

Reviewer: fredo (Signed) · Date: 07/03/08 08:58 AM · On: Chapter 5 The pain we endure

..... that's me being speechless. Man, what can i say, WOW. Louy, i've read many many things on this site, and i tell you, you definitely are very well placed in my top ten with this one. It's... great. Great writing, great work.

So if they were going to take him early, well they could have two for the price of one. If Dean went to hell today, the Winchester brothers would walk in together side by side.

WOW

Author's Response:

Thank you so much fredo, for this and for your e-mail, you are so encouraging it makes me want to sit straight down and type away..lol

Thank you very much for that X Louy

Reviewer: kwater (Signed) · Date: 06/03/08 12:58 PM · On: Chapter 3 The rules we live by

Uh, okay now Louy, I thoroughly checked over the story notes and not once did it mention hordes of killer birds.  You have got to put better warnings on your stories, girl.

Guh, Oh, Guh, I don't know if I can continue if these birds are gonna keep poping up.  I do have to say I was glad to see that you understand the vile nature of birds and that you agree with me that all birds are simply waiting for the opportunity to peck our eyes out. ;) 

Favorite Quotes:  Dean paused and laid one hand on Sam’s back. “Sammy…we’re gonna need a bigger boat.”  - Hands down the best quote ever....

The two extremes of emotion, so alien to one another and yet so alike that often if you didn’t laugh you’d cry…could have been created for the Winchester coat of arms.  - perfect description of all that is Winchester.

 Terrific chapter and did I mention the mist cause you did a killer job with describing it and creeping out the graveyard.  Catch you later - Kel

Author's Response:

Kel, thanks again and glad you came back for more! Don't worry the birds get their just desserts...lol

I couldn't be happier that you're enjoying this story, thanks for such a thoughtful review :) X Louy

Reviewer: kwater (Signed) · Date: 06/03/08 06:59 AM · On: Chapter 1 The truth we cling to

Okay so I'm late coming to this party but honestly I was just waiting for a backlog of chapters.  I knew I wasn't going to wanna be cliffhanged..lol.

Great opening, though I"m not a N. Gaiman fan, I'm thinking I should be.  I will definitely be checking out his work. 

Favorite line : It was about Sam, and right now Sam needed to be needed

Who hasn't felt like that when you find yourself in a situation beyond your control.

Looking forward to more, Bullet, this is well deserving of the Featured Spot, well done ;)  Kel

Author's Response:

Thanks for that Kel, and I'm glad you're going to check out Gaiman, he's a visionary. And I hope you appreciate my 'almost' complete lack of cliffhangers...well almost...lol

Thanks for the review Kel, glad you're reading and enjoying. X Louy

Well, I haven't had my full 8 minutes of sleep, but I'm going to type this review for the second time anyway (don't ask).  The little sneak peak of plot I had from before hasn't spoiled this for me at all - it still packs a surprise in a "I can't look" sort of a way.  Between this and what I'm doing I may be starting to hate dogs.  Don't tell Dutch, I haven't walked him yet tonight and he could believe you.  This is very visual, great update and I'm eager for more as always with your work!  Angela

Author's Response: Hey Angela, and thanks for this despite the 'only 8 minutes of sleep' lol. And you're right, both stories are similar but so very different too and I'm so glad we got to chat about it earlier. Thanks for this great review, and I'm looking forward to your update!!! X Louy

Reviewer: lostatc (Signed) · Date: 05/03/08 04:17 PM · On: Chapter 5 The pain we endure

The descriptions ere beautiful even when they were of terrible things.  You are taking such time setting up every piece of scenery of every emotions and interaction .... perfection.

Well done.  I can't wait for more!

Author's Response: Coming from someone as precise as you are with your writing, that means the world to me, thanks for such a great compliment. X Louy

"Dean sat up a little straighter on the bed and waved, the tiniest smile touching his lips. “Nice to see you too Bobby…How am I? Why, thank you for asking, I’m fine…Sammy? He’s just fine and dandy too…” Dean shut up abruptly as the old hunter’s stare pinned him against the headboard. "  I adore this bit - Dean is so pissy and I wouldn't blame Bobby if he turned slightly violent here!

Oh God I'm in the middle and now it's all Dean's fault again Poor boy, you're mean!  Come here Hunny I'll make it better...

Haha, the donut debate is so sweet!

Oh Gee Lou, the shoulder is wonderful  thank you thank you I will dream sweet dreams of you and this for ages!!  heehee  I love the word 'organic' to describe the emergent, growing living hurt..yum!

Am I a sick puppy?

More doggie nibbling soon?  pwease?

Author's Response:

Thanks mate...and you know you're a sick puppy, you don't have to ask...lol

Thanks for the review my friend and all the encouragement over this story, it means the world to me..XXXLout

Reviewer: CdeWinter78 (Signed) · Date: 03/03/08 11:16 AM · On: Chapter 2 The lies we tell ourselves

Louey, another beautifully sculpted chapter. I am as impressed with the way you are plotting your story, as I am with your awesome writing skills that reach down my throat and give my heart strings a tug. The way every detail of this hunt is reminding the boys of how desperate and heartbreaking a situation they find themselves in. The way Mrs Reece suffered and died in a year, the way Mr Reece had two short weeks that was an eternity to his tortured mind to try and come to terms with his loss - clever stuff Lou. Sam losing it on this hunt and Dean finding that all the fear and pain he is fighting so hard to retain is seeping out - gut wrenching stuff. Your work is so absorbing and scathingly true to character - that I had to take a break half way through ... it is not often that I am that moved by a story. But while the death sentence hanging over Dean is oppressive, there is a dreadful magnetism to the way you are writing this that compels the reader to read on.

Sure hope Bobby knows as much as he's half letting on he does. If John was all about tough love as a Father, Bobby (who is undeniably a Father figure for the boys) is all about gruff love - he says all those things (albeit reluctantly) that John probably should have. And I loved that he is so astute in his analysis of Dean's role in Sam's salvation.

"They were gonna save Dean Winchester, one way or another, even if he didn’t want to be saved. And if Bobby had to march into hell and drag him out by the scruff of the neck, well…he might just damned well do that too. " Go get him Bobby!!!!

Brilliant work here Louey, too many beautiful lines to quote.

 

Author's Response:

Again thank you!

The most poignant thing I wanted to get across was how when some disaster befalls us, the whole world looks to be conspiring to remind us of it...well that's what happened to me anyway...lol And you have picked up on that beautifully, thank you so much. X Louy

Reviewer: fredo (Signed) · Date: 28/02/08 02:20 PM · On: Chapter 4 The fear that controls us

man, i love this story. Great writing, just can't wait for more! oh and after that, "…and that was the last thing that entered his head. Except for the razor sharp talons that punctured his cheek bones and imbedded into his cranium as the Raven’s beak pierced his eyeball, dragging it from the socket, leaving just the trailing and bloody optic nerve dangling behind.", i may join Kelly on the whole i hate bird thing, cause really, yikes!

Author's Response: Hah, yeah, I must agree with you. I'm going off birds myself at the moment...lol Thanks for such a great review fredo, and I love it when readers quote bits, even if it is the most grizzly bit...lol X Louy
