Arrggh! Back to that desperate cliffy, that is evil you know that don't you? Loved the Star Wars references. But not loving how easily Dean drove into this hunt. And now all three are just about up to their necks in it and one, about to have his snapped by a boot! However, I think he'll still have his head in the next chappie as I get the impression that, like a Cat, she'll want to play with Dean, before she kills him. Jane :)
Author's Response: *grins* You miss nothing. That's very cool. And I was still learning my storytelling style in this one a bit, so yeah, the evil cliffie at the end of this chappie was, well... evil. I got more the hang of things by the time I wrote "Ramble On." And I am a HUGE Star Wars fan... couldn't help tossing the references in there. Thanks for mentioning them. Hope you enjoy the rest. GS

A great start to this new adventure, bringing the action to us and then just as it gets gritty you take us back to the very begining, a great place to start, but hey, poor Dean's got a boot heading his way and my nerves are now jangling! I feel a tad relieved that maybe these guys will be able to help Dean and Sam as from the start of the fic it sure sounds like they need it. I'm truly curious as to what is coming next. Jane :)
Author's Response: Oh, I'm excited that you're reading this one. It was the 2nd story I wrote and I allowed myself to explore beyond Gaelic and Celtic lore (my comfort zone). I hope you enjoy and I look forward to seeing your thoughts when you feel like sharing them. :) Slainte, GS

Ah, brotherly love does the heart good...
A very interesting story, the Robert Frost motif was appreciated. Especially because it’s such a paradox: a death wish & the will to simply soldier on. Fits our boys to a tee.
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I am a big fan of Frost, though Yeats has my heart. One of these days I'm going to work "The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity" into a story... I'm glad you saw the layers of this story, and that you enjoyed it. I appreciate you taking time to review. --GS

So, sorry i hadn't taken the time to look for tis fantastic tale of yours before...I knew it existed but just had too many balls in the air... I promise to make more time for this........The start is intriguing, very much so ...
Author's Response: Hey Jude! {you know how I love to say that...} So great to see you... I hear you on the juggling act. I'm glad you find the beginning intriguing. I hope the rest of it holds your attention and that you enjoy it. Thanks for reading and taking time to respond! GS

Author's Response: Dean has two sides?! *shock* Just kidding. I know I tend to gravitate to the right... I just think that he's right handed, so that's the side usually doing all the work and would be the side most vulnerable and also the most difficult to "do without" so to speak... I am starting to even out the injuries, though. :) I'm glad you liked the scene with Dean and Brenna... I thought that after all Dean went through, he deserved a little TLC. So glad you liked this story -- can't wait to see what you think of the next one. It's only temporarily the last, though... Midst breaks in the VS, I'll be working on another one. Thanks again for taking time to let me know what you think. GS

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lot of action, angst, a decapitation, Brenna kicking some Coulee butts.... But i´m afraid there are 2 more chapters....ummmm....maybe the first witch knowing what could happen cut Sams hand in order to make a incantation or something like that to free her sister????? I can trust that everything is over and great.... let´s see what happend in the next chapter
Author's Response: So glad you enjoyed this chapter! The struggle with the nightmare witch was pivotal to Dean winning the internal battle going on with him. And in this story... I couldn't end it when the bad guys being defeated. There is a lot of fall-out from their struggle... Hope you like it!
Reviewer: maria noel (Signed) · Date: 22/04/07 11:15 PM · On: Chapter 5
para-papa-ra-ra!!!!!!!! Brenna to the rescue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At first i love the Couless but now i hate them!!! That Beth is as evil as the witch. And Papa Couless is cold as ice!...they suck!! Come one Dean you can win this!! Ok, ok i´m insane now...you turn me in a insane girl shouting at my screen and in a mad mood because of the Couless, i even told a friend about this jajaja she didn´t understand a single word of what i was talking about. *****in a very shy and faint voice, almost as a whisper, i posted my fic the worst hunt if you want to read it, it´s not as good as yours.....sorry********
Author's Response: The Coulees were an example of how the Winchesters really can't trust anyone. Even "old friends". People will surprise you: both in good ways (like Brenna just dropping everything and coming to help them) and bad ways (like Beth's desperate attempt to kill Dean). But they also allowed Sam to step up and protect his brother, and I so love Sam when he does that. I dig that you were shouting at your screen - it's the best compliment a writer could ask for: an emotional reaction. :) Thanks so much for your continued reviews and interest in my stories. I clap when I get another review in my inbox because I know you've gotten another chapter done. :) **goes to bookmark Maria's story to read when baby sleeps and work is done...**
Reviewer: maria noel (Signed) · Date: 20/04/07 12:39 AM · On: Chapter 4
Review time!!!! I love this chapter, when everything was over and i realized it was only chapter 4 i said..ummmm what´s wrong? and Voila!!! a new withc in Dean´s head!! and...brenna!!! fantastic!!!! run to make a very strong coffee to be able to keep reading
Author's Response: Mmmmmm coffee. Yeah, there are two baddies in this one. :) Heh. Couldn't make it easy on them, now could I? And having Brenna return seemed like the best way to help Sam help Dean help himself... if that makes sense. Hope you enjoy the rest!! GS

Great chapter as usual! love it all the way...i´m enjoying this trip so far. I won´t admit,never,ever that a single tear was rolling my face while reading this sad, sad, sad chapter...but it could be that is almost 3 am..... see ya in the new chapter!!1
Author's Response: I won't say that I'm pleased that my story moved you to tears since you're not admiting to them... ;) Thanks for continuing to review! I so enjoy seeing what you think. And I'm glad you're still enjoying it. GS

Finally sweety!!!! I was getting mad without your fics!!! I´m sorry i couldn´t review before but with my little wall/head problem and then i had another round of my depresion circle and my 2 different carrers....i was so busy, stressed and blue that it wasn´t right to review your fic. I absolutlly love this chapter. All the Dark vader jokes and DREAM ON is my favourite song!!!!!! Ok Cale sucks, riggs can jump from a cliff and i would cheer him....Josh...i love him , just another great character hun. This story is full of action and all the interaction between the boy that i totally love. You are one of the best brotherhood writer i have ever read!!!!! ok bed time...see ya when i have time (sorry again)
Author's Response: No need to apologize! I enjoy feedback whenever it comes. I just appreciate you taking time to read my story and let me know what you think. I'm so glad you're enjoying this story. It was a fun one to write -- even though the boys go through a bit of hell. :) Or, maybe because they do... GS

I'm going to have to re-read this to give you some decent feedback. I think I picked it up on FF.net a few months back...I can't remember. It was the second SN fic I had ever read and I remember thinking that it was extremely well written and had an excellent plot. Everytime I see the pilot ep, I think of this fic. You did a wonderful job and I'm sorry if I neglected to drop you a review. I would re-read it now, but I'm entirely too distracted by the fact you have OTHER wonderful looking fics posted here and I am going eat them with my eyeballs first :D Thank you so much for writing. Your story was thoroughly enjoyable. Nutty (of the absent mind)
Author's Response: Nutty!! Hello there! Ta for the review, woman. And for letting me know you'll be checking out the other fics. Yay! I'm always open to feedback, whenever it appears. :) And -- I just read one of your fics today! Funny, yeah? It was fabulous. Hope to see you again soon. Cheers -- GS

Maybe tonight i will be able to go home but...i can´t read from the computer for a day or two so...i gonna do it anyway jaja see ya then!
Author's Response: Okay -- I hope you don't read this for several days! Rest well, heal, and take care of yourself and your noggin! This story and many others will be here when you return, and I will look forward to seeing what you think when you are actually able to read without pain. :) GS
Reviewer: Phoenix_Song778 (Signed) · Date: 29/01/07 09:32 PM · On: Chapter 1
This was the first of the three that I read. I've since read them all (once staying up till 3am to finish!). I must say all three stories were some of the best fanfic I've ever read! The way you write the relationship between Sam and Dean is just beautiful and dead on! Some of the dialogue I can actually hear them saying! It was a complete pleasure to read each one, and I am most definately looking forward to reading more from you in the future!
Author's Response: Oh, wow -- thank you! I love knowing that you read all three. :) There will be more... as soon as life lets up a bit. I really appreciate your assessment of how I write the boys, and I am glad it rings true for you. Thanks for letting me know you've read and I hope to see you on a review page again sometime! Cheers -- GS

Just once I'd love to see Sam take care of Dean, protect him, maybe even defend him on the show. GS Yes,yes,yes - exactly! That's why I love your writing so much - because Sam stood up to the Coulees for Dean, tried to take revenge on the banshee for Dean and struggled to get to him in the hospital after the wendigo attack. See? You are answering a serious need here. And now, I'll shut up! Thanks again, Ciel
Reviewer: ciel4 (Signed) · Date: 24/01/07 08:24 PM · On: Chapter 1
I loved this story on lots of levels but particularly because Sam gets fed up with people blaming Dean and he disputes the point, and he perceives a physical threat to Dean form other people and he muscles up to defend him. I would love to see those things on the show! I also love that the pre-story to this event happened while Dean and Sam were apart - Sam has a lot to learn about that time in Dean's life. And amazingly, even though you have written a more romantic session for Dean and Brenna, I still like her! Quite a feat! Fantastic work.Thank you!
Author's Response: Again, thank you so much for this! Just once I'd love to see Sam take care of Dean, protect Dean, somehow even maybe defend him on the show. I know Dean's older, the protector, the defendor of Sammy -- but in families it should be reciprocated (sometimes...IMO). I was nervous about that interlude with Dean and Brenna. But it was the 2nd time I'd brought them together, and they were attracted to each other... and it's DEAN... so I had to go for it, knowing that she wasn't going to stay. But, um, she's coming back, so hopefully the fact that you like her will have you reading another story with her in it. She won't be in them all... but she's fun to write. She's an escape from me. And I'll shut up now. Cheers -- GS

great job! i love the Star Wars stuff as i am a huge, huge fan!! lol...poor Dean never catches a break in your stories does he!! ya just gotta love him!!!
Author's Response: You only hurt the ones you love, right? ;) I think aside from the loving to see Dean hurt (which as fan girls we recognize but do not delve too deeply as to 'why'), I really like seeing Sam step up when Dean isn't 100%. I like seeing Dean struggle through adversity and Sam have to take care of him without actually LOOKING like he's taking care of him... They never seem to get there on the show. Sigh. Oh, and I grew up on Star Wars. Love it. Thanks for the kudos. :) GS

Reviewer: Betty (Signed) · Date: 19/01/07 03:39 AM · On: Chapter 8
Now I'm positive I want to be Brenna. LOL. This was really a beautiful story, You brought up so many emotional issues within a really wonderful supernatural tale. All the fatherly angst, Dean's loneliness as he relentlessly pursues his life's mission - whether he wants that purpose or not. Such a layered and thoughful story - and so much fun to read. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Author's Response: Betty -- you are amazing with these chapter by chapter reviews! I think I might love you. Thanks so much for your comments and for letting me know your thought process as you go. Aside from personal satisfaction (take that any way you want), pretty much the only reason to write fanfic is so that others will read and let you know what they think. Your reviews sincerely make my day and I appreciate every one. I'm also very glad that you like Brenna. She became real for me in HOTLG and I couldn't just leave her there with Declan... plus, I plan on bringing her back again. I know OFC's are a dangerous gig in this fandom, but if she shows us/me a different side of Dean, then she's served her purpose. :) I hope to see you on another review board near me. All the best -- GS
Reviewer: Betty (Signed) · Date: 19/01/07 03:29 AM · On: Chapter 7
Ugh! That was painful and wonderful all at the same time. Dean is just so tortured, and you show that so well. It makes me just want to put my arms around him and rock him back and forth. Maybe that's why I like Brenna so much. I want to be Brenna. That's it. Think of the years of therapy I just saved myself.
Author's Response: Come to fanfic for all your therapy needs... hee...
Reviewer: Betty (Signed) · Date: 19/01/07 03:10 AM · On: Chapter 6
That was an amazing chapter. Again, so full of action, angst, drama. Brenna is so fleshed out, so real and so much fun to watch. I loved this line: "Without Sam, he was alone in the dark. With him, he was powerful." I think you could say this in reverse too and it would be true. I love these boys. Love the way you write them.
Author's Response: These brothers are the best partners I've seen on TV in a long time... and it just makes me love them more.
