This is my first Ben story - it has reference to something I think I am missing. Is there an order to read the series in?

I enjoyed it - the milk bottle thing was a nice touch - Californian folk tale eh? Dean's approach to parenting is kind of unique - although I don't think he is new to parenting, seeing how he brought up Sam, but I think it's different when it is your own.

Nice work. Abi.

I think I emailed you personally but I can't remember now.  The order of the stories is on my mainpage. 

As for the unique parenting...guilty as charged.  Its similar to the way I raise my kids and -- knock on wood -- so far its working.  They're open, honest, and truthful with me.  Not perfect and still rebellious but once the dust settles the truth is there.  And it is different when its your own.  I think Dean is able to step back from Ben a bit and recognize that there is only so much he can do in controlling Ben's life and that ultimately he isn't responsible for Ben's decisions, just for providing him with the tools to make the right decisions.

Thank you so much for reading and for the review.  I really appreciate it.

Another fantastic Ben story. It's a little counterweight to the Torture story you've got going on right now! A little brightness to contrast with the darkness :) Thanks!

Thank you so much.  I felt the need to write this to offset the weight of Torture.  "Torture" has been torture for me.

Thank you so much.  That's it with this story but I'm sure Ben will take over my brain again, he seems to like to do that.

Fabulous!!  I've never heard the milk bottle story before.  It was a good one!

I like all the subplots you weave into your story---teen angst, reaching out for sexual experiences, ghost story and the father-son-uncle bond.  So much in such a short story---simply wonderful!



Author's Response:

Thank you so much.  I found the Milk Bottles story online and became fascinated.  The rest was just easy since I'm watching my own teen grow and develop and he's stretching his own wings (no pun intended), it makes it all easy.  The thing I enjoy the most is watching my son watch his father to see how he's "supposed" to act.  Too cool watching the boy become the man.

Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Renee,

Thank you so much.  I enjoy writing these so much -- too much.  Ben is a character that has really taken over my brain. 

Thanks for reading and leaving a review.  I am grateful.

This was really touching.

I think you're probably spot on in having Dean be such a talker with Ben, giving him free rein to talk about his feelings and encouraging him to be open with him.  It's the complete opposite of what Dean grew up with, and it's the complete opposite of everything Dean has ever known, but I can so totally see him being a big, flying buttress of support of his kids if he had them.

He'd want them to have the emotional support he never got.

And this story really showcased that.  I also love that you show him being soft but firm.  Because let's face it, supportive or not, Dean would only bend so far before he'd string tighter than a violin -- and then he'd be cracking the proverbial whip.

Wow, can I mix in a few more metaphors into that one, do you think?

Love this.  :)



Author's Response:

Thank you so much.  I think that for Sam to be as vocal as he is someone had to listen and talk to him as a kid and that someone was very likely Dean.  I also think that Dean's lack of communication after his mothers death would have been horrible for him and he'd want to make sure Ben never went through that. 

Love metaphors, by the way, I can't write them.  Not an ability that I have and I'm jealous of those that can.

Thanks for reading and reviewing.  I really appreciate it.

“No.” It wasn’t a statement, it was an accusation of stupidity. One syllable conveying the depth of his contempt for the idea that he would willingly go to the library if he didn’t have to. - Man how many times have I heard that exact tone....lol.  Great story.   - Kel ;)



Author's Response:

Gotta love teenagers, don't we?  Or we'd kill 'em.  It's one of the reasons I love Ben so much, he's a recflection of my own teenager.  I just hope mine isn't as along in the exploration stages as Ben is.

Gotta love beta's, too.  They take what we mean and sometimes make it so much better...Birdy did that for me with the sentence you mentioned. 

Thanks for the review!  And for reading.
