Oh, lord, that was funny!

Awww, sam and deans relationship is so cute in this, you've done really well. yay for you.

Great! I especially liked the last line, and the "Bozone". I know people who have a Bozone layer around them. :]

Author's Response: Oh yeah, a bozone as wide as the eye can see sometimes, lol. Thanks for the review. XX Louy

Really enjoyed this Louy- a nice bit of brotherly humour is a relief amid all the "deal" stories and the tremors from the season 3 finale (which I haven't seen yet).

I liked the mood changes and the different view points of the three Winchesters. The descriptions were spot on and I liked the way Dean tried to make the best of it for Sam until the final floor insult and then Sam returned the favour with Dean. I must say that I giggled at the crime scene crack about the accomodation.

See you next weekend- Rock on Racoons!                                Alison

ALISON - Great to hear from you and thanks for this lovely review!!! You're a star, and I'm still spending hours drooling over my card collection...lol

Roll on London gathering and Rock on Racoons indeed!!!!! XXX Louy

Another gem from the genius mind that bought us “Games”. You are such a diverse and creative thinker and it is us readers who reap the benefits. And like “Games” this is a beautiful family moment shared. I’ve loved it so much I’ve come back and read it four times, and it’s left me with a glow each time.

 

Holy Moly, that wordplay was spectacular!…hilarious!…so darn clever! I couldn’t stop my loud laughter! As I read each one I thought ‘that’s my favourite’ and then I read the next one and you (or the boys!!!) trumped it!! Not only is each clever but in the Winchester context it is freaking hysterical!! Dean’s definition of ‘ignoranus’ just killed me and gotta tell ya, Sammy’s ‘you could go blind’ for osteopornosis had me in fits!! Even your snark was hilarious. “Half a game of poker” what a cack! This whole idea was just the best!!

 

Now I need to be serious for a bit, but you’ll have to excuse my hiccups, they just won’t go away…

 

Your descriptions are phenomenal. You put us in that house. Your words created an ambiance, a feeling that just screamed the ickyness-factor so loud that I itched, choked and wrinkled my nose in disgust with the boys. Those dust mites nearly gave me an asthma attack and I’m with Dean …“giggle* ‘arachnoleptic *hiccup* …on that major cobweb freak out. Yeah, that was me in the background going ‘pfft’…

 

Your portrayal of Dean and the myriad of emotions which vibrated out of him throughout this experience had my heart on edge. His anger, disappointment and impassivity were tangible - and understandable. The way you wrote his emotions at war creating his inner conflict was brilliant. You showed his inner struggle around his feelings for his father – loyalty, love, faith in John to ultimately do right by them versing disappointment, anger, resentment – with absolute precision. I ached for him as I read. And your kicker was Dean ultimately blaming himself, just so Dean. Tremendous stuff Bullet.

 

Your observation of Dean understanding his “fixated” dad was very astute  “…his addiction to anything that would protect his family but not actually feed them, for the man’s uncanny ability to supply every supernatural protection under the sun…” God, this hit me as so true.

 

Aside from your wordplays, this fic is just rich in beautiful phrases, descriptions, imagery and interpretations, I am awe of your work. Your phrase “cold silence bleeding from his brother” - Wow, graphic, perfect words to describe exactly how it is. I grinned at Sam having “his own funk going on” and my breath caught at Dean’s ‘stowed away resentment that only reared it’s ugly head on occasions.’ I saw that “familiar dark look slowly shroud (Dean’s) face” and I held my breath in silence as John crept with stealth “shifting his weight from his heels to the balls of his feet ensuring there was not noise as he crept over the dusty ground” when he thought his boys were being hunted. I could go on and on citing wonderful writing…

 

Loved Sam! From his pi$$y attitude, to his caution when reading his brother to his intelligent, intuitive rescue of his brothers heart, he was gorgeous. You sure got my attention with “Sam knew when to listen to Dean, when to fight with him,…even when it was okay to mess with his head and he KNEW when he was required to execute the prefect retreat” Perfectly said. Thanks for showing us this intuitive, sensitive, clever little Winchester, you sure put a smile on my face.

 

And OMG!! John… I was swinging with Dean on loving and hating him at the same time. Your depiction of this complicated, traumatised, broken yet loving, dedicated, passionate man broke my heart with understanding, even though I too was cranky at him for leaving his boys in that dump. You showed that at his heart he is the loving, caring father. I adored your references to Mary and I loved that view you gave him of his sons – natural, carefree, happy, close, uninhibited - it was truly beautiful, especially to see Dean laugh so easily and spontaneously. This phrase was stunning - “…laughter from his eldest the likes he’d not seen since Mary was alive. Dean wide eyed and blushing with the effort of laughing so much, and that was a sight John never thought he’d see again…not in this lifetime.” Awesome, awesome, awesome.

 

And of course, I loved John in hunter mode *sigh* thanks for that hot image!

 

And that ending? Both the word “Assident” and Sam’s delivery and timing were rippers!!

 

Thanks for this fabulous fic, I loved everything about it.

Awe Petra, your reviews are always so much better than my stories...and they fill me with inspiration. Whenever I'm feeling down all I have to do is go back over what you've written and it brings the biggest and most genuine smile with it...

Thank you so much for that Petra, you are unique!

Hi lou thanks for a really good read, cheered me up no end. Love Lorraine

That was great! I laughed so much!

Hil-frickin-larious... Oh, Louy I loved this.  To make me feel such pity for the boys being left in such a rattrap to laughing outright overy their word play.  Gotta say I'm thinking Forploy was my favorite....thanks for the terrific read - kel

Author's Response: Yeah I liked 'forploy' too, wish I could take credit for them but no such luck...lol Thanks so much Kel, I'm very happy you enjoyed, and thanks for the stars...XX Louy

ah, Louy, you had me laughing so hard with this one you probably heard across the pond.  I really love how you showed both brothers doing everything they could to overcome the crappy situation, and coming out more than just victorious.  what a way to make lemonade...

Author's Response: I wondered what that noise was...lol Thanks so much for that great compliment and I'm very glad you enjoyed...XXX Louy

Loved it!!! Absolutley loved the play with words and so happy to see that angsty hormonal teen Sam was the one helping Dean out of his down spiraling funk... Of course John's "asscident" helped too

Author's Response: Thank you so much Aripage, that's a great compliment, and thank you for the stars, you made my day...XX Louy

Hey LouLou,

Heehee, i laughed my socks off as you well know and i always like to get my tootsies naked!

this is a cool and funny story Hun. I liked the awesome drift from sadness and depression to merriment and hysteria. So Winchester - suck it up and move on!

Lovely characterisation, witty and clever word play, and a sweetly sprained ankle!

Lovely hun, and always a pleasure to be able to help.
