Aaaargh! I looked for this chapter EVERY day, and then I miss a couple of days and - you post! Yippeee! Don't cut your ear off NG, or anything else - this is a fantastic chapter and you are really on a roll with it. I love stories where Dean is suffering and Sam is having fits over him, (shout out to Terry! ) and you are really making me feel this one. Sam shopping for food choices that would tempt Dean was just gorgeous, and your descriptions of Dean's experience are wonderful. Loved this line: And, take him it did, like a strong Atlantic current swallowing him within its depths. His last coherent thought as he fell into the darkness was to wonder who was screaming with so much agony and despair. Brilliant stuff.
See you as soon as the next chapter is up. Many thanks!
Author's Response: Yeah, I had hoped to post last weekend, but I was too tired to work on it. I'm glad you liked the Sam shopping for Dean thing. I really wanted to write that in there because I think Sam could be thoughtful like that. I wondered if the line about the Atlantic current was cheesy or not, so I'm glad you liked it. I seem to have this annoying habit of using water metaphors a lot (especially in "The Wake-Up Call"), but I couldn't say why. Anyway, I'll stop rambling now and just say thanks so much for reading and reviewing and I hope you had a gorgeous Easter day!

Comtunue please!
Author's Response: Eeps! I missed this one. Sorry...I appreciate the comment and I'm already working on the next one;)

“There was this one time, my roommate and I went forty-nine hours straight without sleep. We were on break and decided to have a little PS2 competition between us. Those were good times.” Ha! I so have Sammy beat. 72 hours!!!! *laugh* I have no life. “Anyway, I’m not the one who just bounced down a mountain and stabbed myself with a stick, dude.” It sounds like so much fun when he says it that way. That ending! Geez! Give me a heart attack. More...like yesterday, please.
Author's Response: Thanks, hon...really, someone should give you an award for best reviewer...yes, I saw the love you left all over the place, hee. Big *hugs* and thank you.

OMG!Dean is going to be the next victim. I love hurt/comfort stories. I'm very intrigued about who's behind all those deaths. Riveting and captivating so far. Can't wait for more.
Author's Response: I love hurt/comfort, too! I always say my favorite Dean is a bloody Dean, heh, heh. But, I digress, lol. Thanks Oceane, I guess it turned out better than I thought...thank God. I'm super pleased and (shout out to Gaelic, my bud) I wish I could write fast like GS because I'm all stoked about some new ideas. If only I could get it all out of my head and onto your screens much faster, lol.

Re:S&S, Oh, Rick was so much cooler than AJ! "We must be getting old" is all I can think when I see Gerald McRaney on Jericho now.
Author's Response: Yeah, I figured Dean wouldn't care for being cast as AJ, lol. He's more the Rick type for sure. I didn't know Gerald even had a show now. When I watched the show, I always liked AJ better, but now, as an adult, I can see why Rick was the cool one, lol.

Don't know what all the concern was about---it's a great chapter!! And Sam is defineity more the Jameson Parker type. :)Man, I miss the those old tv shows *sigh*
Reviewer: GotTheShining (Signed) · Date: 06/04/07 09:25 AM · On: A Glimpse of the Future
Had to go back and re-read when the new chapter posted. I forgot how good it was!
Author's Response: Yeah, sorry 'bout that, I'm not a fast poster...got my stick in too many fires, lol. I'm glad you're still with me and thanks for letting me know...appreciate it muchly, hee.
Reviewer: sifi (Signed) · Date: 06/04/07 08:25 AM · On: Pushing Forward
Oh man! November that rocks! Holy moley! I'm on the edge of my seat here! Poor Dean.... Sammy's gonna be a bit upset when he finds his big brother felled to the floor! Really wonderful job! Can't wait for more so hurry please! :D sifi
Author's Response: Wow! I woke up today and found not one, but four more reviews here at SNville...made me very happy as my reviews from ff.net have fallen off and if it wasn't for this place, I'd be thinking my previous concerns were valid, lol. "Edge of your seat"? Oh, man, how I loved reading that. Thanks, I'm a happy girl, now.

You were anxious about this chapter...really? I thought it was fabulous!! I figured that Dean was going to "start hearing the voices" and I really liked how you led up to it, very smoothly done. That being said, I can't believe you left us hanging like that! I gotta know what the heck is going on! Don't leave me blowing in the wind for too long.... :-) Oh yeah, the Simon and Simon reference....laughed my head off!! I had a major thing for A.J. when I was a kid!
Author's Response: Ha, that's funny that you just said the same thing about A.J. that I did in my last response below. Yes, I was anxious about this chapter...but then, I pretty much get anxious every time I post. But, this is new territory...I've actually got a plan, lol. Before, I flew by the seat of my pants, and now I'm chasing a specific idea and I don't want to give away too much too soon or be too slow about getting there. Either way, I'm feeling a little more relieved since ya'll seem to like it. Thanks for the feedback :)

OMG! I was sooo glad to see your post! Great chapter. We can only begin to imagine Sam's agony on the other side of that locked door. Love the cover names - I hate to admit that I was a huge S&S fan back in the day. Sammy has to know something is really wrong with Dean though when Dean disses M&Ms. Please don't leave us hanging - you know how unstable those platforms can be!
Author's Response: Yeah, something's definitely not right with Dean, that's for sure...and don't worry, I used to love Simon & Simon when I was a kid, lol. I thought AJ was so cute...now I feel a little silly when I see the episode reruns. I'll try not to leave you hanging for too long, but I wouldn't be able to post if I didn't torture myself over it for a good week *grins*. Thanks for the review...I love that you enjoyed it.

NG- so not fair to leave us hanging like this! Reading this chapter, hell this story, is like eating cake, soooo very delicious but devoured too quickly. Can I make a suggestion- quit your day job and do nothing more than spend your time finishing this story- course thats just my selfish opinion LOL! Great job as usual!
Author's Response: *Giggles like a school girl* You have sooo made my night :)...thank you...I'm blushing and smiling really big right now. Alas, nothing would make me happier than to quit my day job and work on this full time...any volunteers for picking up my salary? I'm sorry for the evil cliffie, but that really was my favorite part to write *grins*
Reviewer: Thru Terrys Eyes (Signed) · Date: 03/04/07 11:36 AM · On: Dark Dreams
I couldn't remember if I reviewed this already so I read it again and enjoyed it again. Tree says you better get another chapter up, she's getting impatient! I agree!
Author's Response: Whoa, ladies, no need for threats, lol. I sent it off to the betas today, so it shouldn't be long. Btw, I'm thrilled that you liked it well enough to leave me a slightly threatening review...the best kind *wink, wink*.
Reviewer: whitewave (Signed) · Date: 26/03/07 01:51 AM · On: Dark Dreams
I can't wait to read the next chapter. Usually, I don't read a story until it is finished, but I love your writing. As always, you have me sucked in and on edge.
Author's Response: Ah, that's so nice of you to say! I really am honored that you have enough confidence in me to go ahead and read despite it being a WIP. Thank you...I promise to do my best to make it worth it *crosses fingers*.
Reviewer: ciel4 (Signed) · Date: 25/03/07 07:51 PM · On: Dark Dreams
Fantastic brotherly moments in this chapter - just beautiful. You have the interaction between the brothers spot on, and I think you are perceptive to suggest that Sam knows Dean deceives him about being okay. Loved it when Dean asked Sam if he was worried about him, and I need to know - why does Dean have Percocet ??? Wonderful work, I'll be looking out for the next instalment!
Author's Response: I always get super excited to hear people say that they think the brother's interaction is spot on. Its such a hard thing to do sometimes...or maybe it just seems that way because I'm concentrating on trying to get it right. Thank you ever so much for all three reviews. They really perked me up and made my night.
Reviewer: ciel4 (Signed) · Date: 25/03/07 07:27 PM · On: The Hand of Fate
Wow, that was awesome. You described it all so well, I had no trouble at all visualising the whole scene as it played out in the storm. Riveting stuff, I am going straight on!
Author's Response: It's really funny that you say that. I had just been talking to some friends this week about whether or not I'd lost my mojo in being able to paint pictures with words, so you can imagine how much I appreciate that! Thanks.
Reviewer: ciel4 (Signed) · Date: 25/03/07 07:18 PM · On: A Glimpse of the Future
This was a great start - don't let Dean do it Sam !!! Two great scenes, the motel room in the middle of the night, and the restaurant. Really enjoying it, I'm reading straight on now!
Author's Response: Thank you,, thank you. The restaurant scene was actually harder to write. I wanted the boys to sound like themselves as much as possible, ya know. So I did agonize over it just a bit.
Reviewer: GotTheShining (Signed) · Date: 24/03/07 01:13 PM · On: Dark Dreams
Keep it coming!
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing! I've got most of chapter 4, I hope to have it up by no later than next weekend - barring no real life problems :)
Reviewer: Oceane (Signed) · Date: 20/03/07 09:11 PM · On: Dark Dreams
It was worth the wait. Fabulous chapter Nicole. Poor Dean and happy me, what can I say, I've a weakness for broken Dean emotionally and physically. Now, I'm at the edge of my seat waiting for the next update.
Author's Response: Hi Oceane, I'm glad Dean and I were able to oblige! Hee. It's so nice to be able to meet like-minded people and share this bizarre obsession of breaking poor Dean down. I love that you are on the edge of your seat, too! What a nice compliment. Big thanks to for the review!
Reviewer: Tree66 (Signed) · Date: 19/03/07 07:26 PM · On: Dark Dreams
NG - Ok- so you know I was desperately waiting on the update - and you certainly didn't disappoint me. Girl, you sure know how to beat that boy up- but I love it, love it, love it. How sick am I???? Sad to see that poor Dean is getting guilted by the ghost of Daniel- like the poor guy aint carrying enough on his shoulders. Well, you know I'll be waiting patiently for the next bit. Glad you're feeling better.
Author's Response: Whew! I was getting nervous thinking it was too...too...too something and you were gonna slap my hand outta the cookie bowl. Had major nerves over this one, don't know why. May have major nerves for the next one, too, lol. Thanks for the review, Tree AND the medical advice. :)
Reviewer: lam (Signed) · Date: 18/03/07 09:27 PM · On: Dark Dreams
I was sooooo glad to see your post! First off, I'm so sorry you were sick; hope you continue to feel better! On a purely selfish note, I was really enjoying this story and was hoping for more - thanks for granting my wish, especially with a great chapter. Will we find our where the percocet came from? Will that odd light return to Dean's eyes when the drugs wear off? Can't wait for the next chap....
Author's Response: Gah! I'm sooo sorry, I totally forgot to tell you where the percocet came from...its not meant to be a secret, it was just an oversight on my part...oops! Remember in BUABS when Jo gave Dean that bottle of pills, well, lets pretend that's where they came from...even though those were capsules and not tablets. I actually had that written in the story at one time, but it got edited out and then I forgot about it. Anyway, thank you so very much for the wonderful review and, well, just for reading period. You can't believe how much I cringe when I post a chapter for fear of flopping, lol.
Reviewer: sojourner84 (Signed) · Date: 18/03/07 09:04 PM · On: Dark Dreams
Wonderful job, hun. Looking forward to the next installment.:)
Author's Response: *Hugs* Thank you...and again, I'm very much looking forward to yours as well :). Now, get, go write, lol.
Reviewer: Ace33 (Signed) · Date: 18/03/07 08:39 PM · On: Dark Dreams
I'm loving it! please update soon!
Author's Response: I will do my best to get the next chapter up as soon as possible...most certainly sooner than this last time (hope I didn't just jinx myself, lol). Thanks for reading and reviewing I love that you are loving it! *big smile*
Reviewer: Phoenix_Song778 (Signed) · Date: 18/03/07 08:32 PM · On: Dark Dreams
Ah, I've been waiting a long time for this and it was well worth it. Glad you're better and ready to write! I'm a sucker for Dean angst, and you do it so well. Can't wait to read more!
Author's Response: Wow, what a great surprise to come home to wonderful reviews like this! I take your compliments to heart as over at SN.tv I've dubbed myself Keeper of Dean's tears and angst, so I really appreciate your words. Thank you kindly!
Reviewer: bopeep (Signed) · Date: 18/03/07 05:06 PM · On: A Glimpse of the Future
omg dude! you rock! this is my favorite story so far! it is soooo well written and it just keeps me wanting more after each chapter!! if you need any help, just let me know, im so looking forward to the next chapter, please update soon!
Author's Response: *blushes* Aw, thanks...much appreciate your enthusiasm...made my day for sure! And I absolutely mean that. I hope the next update will come much sooner since I have a good part of it started.

NG- As an admin for UnGen - I always know when a story gets posted- so it isnt like I came here expecting to find a new chap - however - also as an admin for UnGen - I think its my duty to ... ask, beg, plead, supplicate, beseech, implore, threaten, lie prostate on the ground, sacrifice, bleed, or whatever else it takes to get you to update this story before I lose my freakin mind! Hmmm- did I mention that I was totally hooked???? You and Gaelic- you're killing me with suspense on your stories - but remember - I get revenge with the VS
Author's Response: Lol, Tree, that is the best news I've had in days! I'm glad someone missed me, hee! Sorry for the lag, but I had another tangle with a nasty little kidney stone/infection and had to have it busted up via lithotripsy last Thursday. I didn't stop hurting until I passed some BB size fragments on Sunday...but I'm still not up to par. All I want to do is sleep and I don't know if its related or something else. Yesterday was my first day back to work...and fun stuff must come last. I sincerely thank you for doing your duty as an admin :) and sending me a reminder...I promise I'll get it up as quick as I can.
