I'm so loving this story, so poignant, so intense. Look to me that Dean's recovery won't be easy and it won't be easy for Sam either. You're very good about Dean's reaction, emotional state of him losing his leg. Amazing work so far. I'm hooked, I so can't wait for more.
Author's Response: I've told others that this is most definitely new territory for me. I've never experienced losing a part of my body nor have I even known someone who has. On top of that, I have to figure out not only how Dean would react, but how injured Dean would react. You have no idea just how encouraging it is to know that my readers think the writing is accurate. I will try to continue to give this story my all, just for all of you.

This continues to be a great story. Dean has finally let it go. Whew. Can't wait for the fireworks now!!
Author's Response: Don't expect Dean to be mister happy cripple any time soon - hope that's what you're rooting for. hehe.

What a fabulous story so far. To see Dean in so much pain physically and emotionally, it's heartwrenching. Terrific work, I'm looking forward for more.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm such a sucker for the angst - I think I may go a little overboard sometimes, but oh well. Glad you're enjoying the story.

I love this story so much. I like when an author tries a different subject. Usually the situation can be remedied -- temporarily blind etc. But you've opted for a permanent problem. I think it will be inspiring. I am wondering if you are giving us "true" Phantom Pain" or something a little supernatural???? I will just wait and see. I may be reading too much into everything. Keep it up -- I check everyday during lunch for "my next chapter"
Author's Response: I'm really glad you're enjoying this. I try so hard to make my stories original. Unfortunately, there are so many good stories out there filtering around that it's getting more and more difficult to find topics that haven't been done. This was one of them - I just hope I can continue to do the boys justice despite the permanent limitations. As for the phantom pain - FYI it is a real affliction that occurs for people who have lost limbs. I may refer to it supernaturally at times, but the symptoms are real. Thanks a bunch!

Love this story so far. I think you have done a great job with the brother’s emotion. Thanks for posting so quickly.
Author's Response: I'm so glad you're enjoying this. Makes my day to know people appreciate my work. As for the posting - I've already got up to chapter 21 posted on another site, so I'm posting a chapter a night until I catch up to where I'm writing. THen it will be about every 2-4 days depending on how fast I pound out a chapter. Thanks so much!

Well, you handled that scene so well. It wasn't over the top, Dean wasn't being some super strong person or totally freaking out. The anger and yelling at Sam was great. It seemed realistic. I can see it happening. Dean is a head on kind of guy - so yes he would want to see the actual leg. His realization that 'it's gone" was so poignant. Great chapter
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I really try hard to capture their personalities and mannerisms, and it is so encouraging when other people feel it's an accurate portrayal. Makes my day to know I'm doing okay! Much thanks!

Wow, this is a wonderfully written story. You capture the characters of Dean and Sam well, and I can't wait to see how Dean will cope with something as lifechanging as this. I love reading stories where real life becomes a issue because it reminds me that Dean and Sam can be as vulnerable as the rest of us. Keep up the great work!
Author's Response: Thank you very much! I try hard to keep themin character, and it helps so much to know that others think it's working. I'm right there with you on the whole 'real life' issue thing which is why I started writing them - there are far too many unrealistic 'real life' stories; not that I don't like those, too, I just like to remember that not everyone is a Warner brothers cartoon. You can't drop an anvil on 'real' characters and expect them to bounce back. heeh. Anyway, thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. Hope you continue to enjoy the story!

This is a very intense story. I was holding my breath for most of this chapter. I can't wait for more. I hope you give us an in-depth story. Please? Make this as long as you want!!!!
Author's Response: I'm so glad you're enjoying the story, and I promise to be as indepth as I'm capable of being. I've got 19 chapters written so far with no end in sight, so you can pretty much guarantee it will be detailed. Hope you continue to enjoy! Thanks a bunch.

I like your story and the fact it has something totally different they are hunting. I hate the part that Dean will lose his leg though, but it is what the story is about. Good writting.
Author's Response: I'm so glad you like the story. I'll let you in on a little secret though - I make up the things they're hunting because it's easier than trying to research thousands of creatures before I find the one that fits my story. Forgive me! As for the leg, I've always tried to write unique and different stories, and to my knowledge this one hadn't been done. Plus, I'm a medical/over-coming the odds freak, so I pretty much go for all the medical stuff in my stories. It's a very angsty story, but hopefully you'll be okay with where I take Dean. Thanks for reviewing!

Omg! i almost gagged reading this not that its a bad story i think its great keep up the good work.
Author's Response: I suppose I should have put in a disclaimer that the story isn't for the faint of heart. I'm a bit of a gory detail freak - no sugar coating here. Sorry about that. I'm glad you like it anyway. The ickiness pretty much goes away by chapter 4 and then it's more emotional. Hope you can stick with it until then!

I am soo happy that you started posting this story over here- I've been reading it over on ffnet- but would much rather read it here. Now I can start from the beginning again- although - that doesnt mean I'm not hanging by a thread for your next update! Great story!
Author's Response: Thanks so much for the encouragement. I hadn't really given much thought to posting anywhere else until Thru Terrys Eyes suggested it, but I'm glad I did. I'm always up for more readers! I'll probably post a chapter a night here until I catch up and then post as I write. I'm sure this will be several more chapters - I see no end in sight. Thanks for making me feel welcome.
