It is so poetic to see the other side of the brotherly love between each other and how when sam is down for the count Dean visualizes a way to work and keep eye on his little bother and now its Sammy's turn but still ?'s on the drug of where his older brother may have gotten it or who gave it to him to start with. this is so awesome than you for this story I applaude you dearly you and all writers of supernatural

the exchange between Sam and Dean in the car when they firs arrive at the Winchester mansion is incredibly detailed. Not only can I picture what's happening in my head, but I can feel the grief and guilt. Sam's comparison of Dean's resemblance to their parents was an endearing passage. Simply amazing! I enjoyed the love scene, especially because Dean separated love from sex. Whether he knew it or not, he loved Hannah purely, wanting what was best for her even if it denied himself. That is true love! Your expression of it through Dean was exquisite!
Author's Response: Thank you!!! I worked so hard on this story and it feels so good to know someone has enjoyed it. Thank you so much for letting me know. Your words mean a lot to me. Sorry for the slow response, I've been gone a lot lately. *hugs*

I loved this story. You made it so real. I am glad that you keep on writing because I want to keep on reading. Very good, very good.
Author's Response: Real is great! I always enjoying making things seem real to people and I'm thrilled you liked it. I enjoyed writing this immensely and I always love hearing peoples reactions to it. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing. I really appreciate it...and, of course I keep on writing--its too much fun to stop! I am compelled!

What an awesome ending!!!! i had to wipe the tears away more than once.....................loved the last lines. "As he drifted off, he thought he heard his name whisper on the wind, accompanied by faraway feminine laughter and smirked at his own foolishness...but for the first time in a long time, he felt at peace. That night, when Hannah came to haunt his dreams, he clung to the memories of a girl who'd touched his soul with kindness and acceptance...and found he no longer needed nor wanted to forget." Dean finally finding peace in what happened and Sam helping him was great. again great story Renee
Author's Response: Ah, shoot, Renee! How did I miss your review? I'm SO sorry. I had no idea this was even here. Thank you so much. I'm glad you liked the ending because I worried over it a lot. I was afraid it was too mushy or just too long period. It makes me feel a ton better to hear it worked for more than one person. Thanks again for reading and leaving feedback and I apologize for just now getting a reply to you!

I'm so glad I found this story..I was an awesome read, you put such detail into it you could really see whats going on in your story. I think Dean could love someone wholeheartedly just like Hanna. Thanks so much for writing. It was great :)
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm so happy you liked it...I really enjoyed writing this one and I'm always so happy when someone else finds it and enjoys it. Thank you SO much for leaving feedback for both stories :) I really appreciate it.
Reviewer: Kumaproogey (Signed) · Date: 26/02/08 11:20 PM · On: Fire in the Sky
Very strong descriptions. You write the brothers really well. Great rapport between Sam & Dean (and Bobby). That was an emotional scene with Sam trying to revive Dean - very powerful. Good ending to a great story. I would say that the ending felt that it carriedon a little too long, but it was still very good.
Author's Response: Well, thanks. I'm certainly thrilled to hear you enjoyed it and I appreciate the kind and thoughtful review...it's been so long...I've really got to get my next story up before I go into the last stages of review withdrawal, lol. Thanks again and take care, Nicole
Author's Response: P.S. Wanted to give you a heads up that if you haven't tried my first story "The Wake-Up Call," you probably won't like it at all because it does go on for way too long. It's far worse and far longer...I just thought I'd throw out a warning about it just in case. :) Thanks again for reading!

If I haven’t said it before (but I think I did) this story was fantastic. That demon was awesome, but the brother story was even better. The epilogue was a nice way to round it off. Can’t wait for your next offering. “but in all fairness….felt more like eavesdropping. Dean had been broken, the vulnerability forced rather than given.” You have an excellent way of turning a phrase. “as they talked, they recognized themselves in each other, sameness of self and yet…not.” Yet again, this line spoke to me. You worried about your “scene”, but it was tastefully done, and I could see Dean. It definitely added to the story, IMHO.
Author's Response: Oh, thank you! That's so nice of you to say. You've really brightened my day with this review and I thank you from the bottom of my heart! I'm really glad you liked it and enjoyed reading it and I hope you enjoy the next one. Sorry it took me so long to get to this, I've been a little busy and then I totally couldn't get logged in. Take care, Nicole

That was a wonderful closing chapter, Nicole. I always thought if Dean fell in love it would be kinda like that...his hesitation to go further, putting him before her because he knew he couldn't offer her much right then...the respect. It was very good. Can't ever understand why you agonize so. Looking forward to your sequel in the WUCverse. Happy Holidays! -SJ
Author's Response: Okay, I am a broke record here, but thanks again for the support at all three sites! I sure appreciate it and thank you for it. Hope all is well with you! Happy New Year!

Wow!!! What an incredible story. It was quite a ride you took us on!! Loved it all. The ending closed the story on such a beautiful, bittersweet note! Great job!
Author's Response: Thank you!!! I love that you enjoyed the bittersweet note to the ending...I really couldn't see it going any other way. I wanted a good conclusion, but with these kinds of things, the deep hurt can't be all better so quick...if ever. Thanks for reading and even more so for reviewing! Happy New Year!

I am FURIOUS! I am SEETHING!! I just wrote an eloquent and lengthy review, and cyberspace ate the damn thing!!!! Okay, will resort to short version, until I get a chance to do-over. You are a cruel cruel woman! Not for what you did to Dean, but for the fact that I had to give up at Chapter 13, at 4.30am (my time), after squinting at my mbl for several hours!!! Finished it this afternoon. Brilliant!!!! (As I said, I WILL write a review worthy of your work as soon as I stop banging my head against the keyboard *grrrrrrrrrr*) Seraph
Author's Response: Oh man! I HATE when that happens! HATE it. I so understand your frustration, but I look forward to your next review immensely. Thanks for sending in this anyway, I'm sure that took great patience after having lost the first one. Man, I'm so sorry that happened to you. Thanks.
Reviewer: Oceane (Signed) · Date: 17/12/07 10:20 PM · On: Fire in the Sky
The ending left me out of breath, so powerful and poignant. Sam love for his brother is showed when he took Dean to the place where Hannah died, it hurted Dean first but then he felt free of his guilt at last. Dean's memory of him and Hannah together was a sweet, lovely moment. Beautiful, to end this story with Dean dreaming of Hannah and rather to fear her, this time he welcomed her. Outstanding writing Nicole, you did an amazing work with this one. I'm very glad to know that you'll start a sequel to The Wake-Up Call in January, I'm looking forward for it.
Author's Response: Wow! Thanks, that's just awesome. Powerful and poignant is music to my ears--see, I'm floating! Thank you for being so good to review not only here, but at SN.tv, too. I really appreciate that extra little bit of effort! I guess I'll be seeing you later...which makes me VERY happy! (((HUGS))), Nicole

Thank you so much for bringing this to such a satisfying conclusion! It was worth any minor delays that happened along the way. No worries about the love scene - it was perfect. And so right that you ended it where you did. I love what you did with Dean in this story... I'll be looking for the next story.....
Author's Response: Oh, Iam, that's so sweet of you to say. I'm glad you consider the delay's only minor because I really tried hard not to make them any longer than necessary. Also, I love that you enjoyed the love scene, how Dean was handled and how it ended. Any specifics really helps me know when things worked for people. I've enjoyed your reviews and thanks so much for reading and sending them in. Have a great Christmas and God bless, Nicole

This was well worth the wait! I want to tell you how much I enjoyed this story. It was a great ride all along. You did an amazing job describing the bond between the brothers and at times I felt I was right there with them. You make want want to reach out to both Dean and Sam so bad and help. You create deep emotions with your writing. I didn't mind Dean's romantic side at all and this last chapter was a nice way to end this fantastic story. I will read it again. Thanks for your great work!
Author's Response: Oh, no, thank you for reading! That's what makes all that fretting worth it. I love reading reviewer's responses and I love even more when it's touched them on an emotional level. Thank you for sticking with me and for taking time to provide feedback. I'm so happy you enjoyed it and I'm absolutely thrilled you think it's worth another read. Have a great holiday and God bless, Nicole

This is a wonderful final chapter NG, definitely worth all of the effort that went into it. So many lines really tugged at me... They sat like that until Sam’s own muscles protested the tension, the lack of moving, the sustained struggle of stay. Strangely, Sam found himself thinking that Dean was built like Dad, but his face held Mom’s delicate features. Huh. and this whole paragraph.. Leaning against the Impala, he tried not to ruin the sentiment by staring too much, but found he couldn’t not look. He wanted to touch this part of his brother, hug it close and keep it for himself—this part of Dean that was kept so closely guarded. He felt another hard tug in the center of his chest as he watched his brother wipe at his face and turn to leave. Quickly, Sam pretended to study his left thumbnail with rapt attention. Dean picked his way back across the cemetery, donning his sunglasses even though night was already well on its way. Sam climbed back into the driver’s seat and waited, blinking his own eyes clear. Amazing work NG, had me running the whole gamut of emotions, just as a great piece of writing should. A very happy Christmas to you and yours, see you again soon!
Author's Response: (((Hugs))), thank you! It's been fun and I've enjoyed your thoughts and faithful reviews. I really do appreciate it. And, I had intended to wish everyone a Merry Christmas in my author's notes. Silly, forgetful me. Merry Christmas to you, too, ciel! Nicole
Reviewer: Scanilla (Signed) · Date: 16/12/07 04:41 AM · On: Fire in the Sky
It's kinda sad that this story has to end... I realized that I really missed your poignant writing. This's such a fantastic ending! I didn't mind Dean's romantic side at all. How could I when you wrote it very well? I adored and loved it how you captured the bond between Sam and Dean so wonderfully in this chapter. Top job, Nicole!
Author's Response: That's so sweet!!! It's good to be missed, trust me and I'm thrilled that you felt that way. I didn't know anybody missed me. :) I have to admit that I get a secret thrill every time someone enjoys the love scene. I worked really hard on all of it, but I was really hoping that part was okay. Thank you, thank you! I've appreciated all your reviews.
Reviewer: Phoenix_Song778 (Signed) · Date: 15/12/07 07:18 PM · On: Fire in the Sky
Oh Nicole, this was absolutely fantastic! A completely satisfying ending to a wonderful story. I thought the love scene was beautifully written...so sweet and innocent. I agree with your assessment of Dean...I've always thought if he ever met the right woman he would be whatever she needed him to be...that he is capable of being incredibly gentle and tender...it's clearly visible in how he deals with Sam.It was really hard to read Sam pushing at Dean in that house...making him relive that experience. Although I knew exactly what he was doing and that it was completely necessary if Dean was to ever make peace with it and move on. That whole exchange was masterfully written...bravo to you!I'm kinda sad that this one's done, however I know I'll come back to it and re-read it just to enjoy it all over again. I'm really excited about the follow up to "The Wake-Up Call"! So excited in fact, that I've already re-read it in preparation for the sequel. My birthday is in January, so this up coming story will be a great present!Happy Holidays to you!
Author's Response: Man, I'm so relieved to see someone was good with the love scene. I've dreaded responses to that because I knew it wouldn't set well with some. So, I'm VERY happy you liked it. I was never fully satisfied with that scene or the one where Sam's pushing Dean. I was afraid I had Dean give in to easily...but I also didn't want to beat dead horse into the ground. So see, you hit on two things that really worried me. Thank you. Me loves feedback. :)

I was on my way to bed when I saw this posted...and well...who needs sleep anyway? This has been one of my favourite stories ever since you started posting and wow, what a finish... ...even as I was reading the love scene, knowing she was already dead, a part of me was hoping and praying that he could find a happy life with Hannah. She was so good for him and you documented that beautifully. The action and angst in this whole story has been second to none, and you seem to have such a great handle on the emotional content of everything you write... ...it's the kind of writing I aspire to, and probably always will... Thank you for posting and roll on Jan...'The wake up call' is also a huge favourite of mine (I recommend it to all when they ask) and I can't wait for the sequel. Beautiful finish to a beautiful story!
Author's Response: Bulletbabe, You have no idea how much that means. I think I bled for this chapter and I can only sit back now and hope people will receive it well. It's like sending your child to school, knowing you've done all you can and now they have to stand on their own.
Thank you for your kind words, for reading, and for any recs you make. It's kindly appreciated. (((HUGS))), Nicole

Good, solid writing and story idea. Conversations felt real and the emotions and thoughts of the characters were true to the show.
Author's Response: Wow, thanks! I'm always super thrilled when someone comments on how well the boys come across as their canon selves...it's something I do work even though at times I do like to push the emotion just a bit. I still want you to be able to hear them and I'm happy that you can hear them. Thanks for reading and reviewing!
Author's Response: Holy cow! You can sure tell by that response I was distracted when I wrote it. Sorry. *cringes*

Author's Response: *intense blushing* Really? Wow. I think I may be speechless. Thank you so much...with high praise like that, I guess I better get my rear in gear and get that epilogue up that's been kicking my butt. Man, it's just so hard to wrap 'em up. Still don't know what to say...didn't know anyone felt quite that way...that was very kind and such a nice time to get it when I'm having so much trouble with the last chapter. Again, thank you!

I am so sorry this is so late in coming. I actually read this back before my wedding and wanted to tell you that I really enjoyed the angst you served up on a silver platter. My dear, you sure know how to cut out one's heart. Their struggle was...guh...and I really have no words for the end. Bravo! Please tell me you are feeling better. I read over on sn.tv you weren't feeling well. Being sick is no fun. *hugs* -SJ
Author's Response: Oh, yeah. Feeling better, finally! Now maybe I can get back on the horse, so to speak, and get that epilogue up! Thanks, SJ, you are too sweet to review in three different places. Hope all is well in newlywed-land!

Some lovely flashes of Winchester humour amidst all the (equally lovely) pain and suffering. I can't believe Dean isn't up to eating his M&M's, it must be even more serious than I thought. lol.... Poor Dean, he really is in some serious trouble this time!! The level of descriptive detail here is so satisfying, your words just spring to life off the page, it's almost like watching the tale unfold. Thanks for such a gripping story. J.
Author's Response: *grabs Janger and hugs* Thank you so much for all the lovely reviews!!! I really wish I had time to respond to each one right now, but it's past midnight and I still have a shower to take before bed and an extra early rising time in the morning, so I'm just gonna do this one for now. I appreciate all your lovely words very much, however, and wanted you to know I read and cherished each one. I sincerely hope you enjoy the rest! Thank you, dear, for taking the time to read and leave feedback. Nicole

Fantastic chapter. You do 'hurt Dean' so well, I do hope they have a good supply of the percocet. I love it when the boys take care of each other. Dean even managed a major league guilt trip. I guess that's not the last appearance from Daniel!! Sorry to hear about your kidney stones. I hope all is now well. Thanks J.

Oh Lord, poor Dean, battered and skewered, odd glow swirling in his eyes and not saving that young boy....the potential here for hurt and guilt ridden Dean is boundless. I do love hurt Dean.... Incredibly atmospheric description of the bridge with the storm building, I could almost hear that rotten wood creaking and cracking. I must go and find out what's happening. Thanks J.
