The ending is the best. Oh my god, I can't stop laughing. There's tears in my eyes from laughing so much and so long at the last part of this story. As usual, I love this and this story is going in my favorites.
Author's Response: Thank you, Laina, I'm thrilled to bits you loved this one so much. It's one of my faves, too, just quietly. It came together quite easily, considering I was juggling things on either side of a mountain and had to make them crash together at the top. And poor old Don was always destined to die in the story, like a red-shirted security guard in the original Star Trek - lol. But I had fun with the bit of misdirection at first, until it was revealed that Don's assailants were definitely not our beloved boys. And of course, the ending was fun as well, with poor Dean having to put up with the eyes - ROFL. And it was a nice trip down memory lane to play with season one boys again. Jules

Printed this to read and realized I'd already read it so I read it again and it was just as good second time around. :)
Author's Response: Aww, thank you so much, Claudia. I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it as much the second time. Take care, Jules

"And stop hugging me with your eyes," he groused. Ha! I loved this line. Perfect way to describe Sam's puppy dog eyes when he's looking at his big brother in admiration. I felt bad for Don and I love how Dean took it so personal when he didn't even know the man. He's a true hero.
Author's Response: Hi, Sonya, LOL - that line started Sabine (Bia1007) on a whole research jaunt to find as many Sam eye-hugs as she could. She finally emailed me the results of that search a few weeks later, and the caps will be appearing in the next porn file. Sadly, Don was always going to die - it wasn't a natural story progression or a last-minute thing. He was like the red-shirted security guards in the original Star Trek episodes - you just knew they were gunna get bumped off as soon as you saw them. I wanted to basically showcase not only Dean's softer side and his loyalty, even towards people he doesn't know, but also the switch for the brothers from being at each others' throats one second to snapping back together into the formidable team that they are in the next when danger strikes. Dean's willingness to stand out in the middle of a storm, offering comfort to a dying man and then seeking justice for Don's death shows the true mettle of the complex man called Dean Winchester. The same as Sam being there as backup for his brother all the way, including the bar fight, shows his love and loyalty for his family, his innate sense of kindness and his need for things to be fair and right. Thanks so much for reading, hun. Jules

one word: perfection. I love Over protective Dean the most...
Author's Response: Thank you so much. I have a huge weak spot for overprotective big brother Dean myself - lol. Thanks for stopping by and letting me know what you thought. I'm glad that you liked the story so much. Jules
Reviewer: amijek (Signed) · Date: 04/01/10 07:04 AM · On: Chapter 1
love the tension
Author's Response: Well, hullo! And thank you. Things were still a bit tense between the brothers in the early days, weren't they? They were still trying to find their rhythm back then, but it didn't take them long to fall back into being a team again. Hope you enjoy the second chapter. Jules
Reviewer: kwater (Signed) · Date: 15/07/09 08:52 AM · On: Chapter 2
terrific Jules, my eyes actually welled up over poor Don's death. Thanks for the great morning coffee break ;) Kel
Author's Response: No worries, Kel - happy to oblige. Yes, poor Don was a wee bit like the security blokes in the original Star Trek - you just knew anyone in a red shirt was going to get shish-kebab'ed...but it was sad. Thanks so much for reading... Jules
Reviewer: kwater (Signed) · Date: 15/07/09 08:21 AM · On: Chapter 1
Movin' on and on the edge of my seat!!! ;) Kel
Author's Response: Hey, Kel!! Sorry, I haven't been around lately. Ahh, hope I can keep you on the edge of your seat - just don't fall off - that would be bad... Jules
Reviewer: Swellison (Signed) · Date: 19/04/09 10:25 PM · On: Chapter 2
Ooohh, cool story, with as many twists and turns as a mountain road. Loved the plotting in this one, and setting it early in first season, when the boys are still getting to know each other again worked wonderfully, too. Sue
Author's Response: Ohh, thanks Sue! I love the twists - as you have probably figured out by now - lol! Yes, the boys did take a little while to get comfortable with each other again after their long estrangement. But they did it - which gives me a tiny bit of hope for the boys now in S4 - that they might just be able to hang onto their bond, even though it's stretched pretty thin at the moment. Fingers crossed, eh? Jules
Reviewer: ashon13 (Signed) · Date: 31/03/09 02:47 PM · On: Chapter 2
Aw, oh my gosh, I loved the ending! About the story. "I'm gonna have nightmares involving huge pairs of clippers chasing me around the motel room." XD
Author's Response: Thank you for that. Poor Sammy - lol. I like the little slice of life stories. And this one just came together so easily. And it was nice to revisit season 1, where life was so much simpler for the boys. Jules
Reviewer: sam (Signed) · Date: 10/03/09 04:52 AM · On: Chapter 1
Its funny how a sibling can act like the top guy of the world, but when it came to feeling it stoped there.
Author's Response: Yes, that's true. Thanks so much for your review. Hope you enjoy the second chapter. Just a little short one this time. Jules
Reviewer: janebear (Signed) · Date: 07/03/09 06:38 PM · On: Chapter 2
I just loved this story. Gotta love those "chick flick"moments. I loved Dean and taking action against those guys. Have to admit I did have tears in my eyes when Don died. But I loved how Dean got his revenge for Dean. Awesome job and awesome story. Thanks again for all of you hard work and for sharing with the rest of us die hard fans. Will be waiting for the next story. See ya then, but until then take care. hugs, Jane
Author's Response: Thanks so much, Jane. I always planned to kill Don - it was just one of those things. But Dean going after the blokes in the Pontiac came about as a natural progression of the story. Sometimes things just naturally flow towards a certain conclusion. *hugs* Jules
Reviewer: bibikftlc (Signed) · Date: 07/03/09 05:33 PM · On: Chapter 2
I absolutely loved this story. I'm sorry poor Don didn't make it but I'm glad the boys taught those guys a lesson. The story was great and the ending was hilarious. Thank you so much! I'm so looking forward to you story next week.
Author's Response: Thanks for that. Yes, poor Don was always meant to die - sort of like the unfortunate blokes in red shirts in the Star Trek original series - if you saw a red shirt, you knew he was cannon-fodder..... So chuffed that you enjoyed the ending - the boys patching up their argument, and story-time just to lighten the mood. Wonder if Sam did have those nightmares about giant clippers...? Jules
Reviewer: buttercup (Signed) · Date: 07/03/09 03:31 PM · On: Chapter 2
WOW really enjoyed that, thanks for writing and posting. I would add it to my favourites but it doesn't seem to be wanting to work right now. great job, B
Author's Response: Aww, thank you! I had fun with this one. Got all nostalgic for that simpler time before demons and deals. Hope to see you on the next one, even though it's going to be a little scary... Jules
Reviewer: SupernaturalGeek (Signed) · Date: 07/03/09 02:57 PM · On: Chapter 2
That was nicely done. I wasn't sure, in the first chapter, if it was the boys but I had already worked out (to be honest) that it wasn't when the second guy hit Don with the bottle. Still, it was skillfully done. I was glad - on a shallow note - that the Impala was ok. And I enjoyed seeing Dean and Sam go back to the bar to impart the news and deliver 'retribution'. Nice brotherly moment at the end too. A very well written story, as always.
Author's Response: Hi, Michaela, Thank you so much. Ahh, yes, you know the boys so well - Sam wouldn't do that to someone, even if Dean was being threatened. Glad you saw through my little misdirection. Oh - lol - no, I try not to ding the Impala too much! It was just a little ding - nothing like what Kripke did to her. Now that was just cruel. So glad that you liked the payback - poetic justice. Jules
Reviewer: fredo (Signed) · Date: 07/03/09 03:24 AM · On: Chapter 2
Another job well done. 'Stop hugging me with your eyes', excellent!!! And next week sounds really exciting...
Author's Response: Ahh, thank you, my friend. That line actually came about after a discussion between myself and Cookie6 regarding Sam one weekend. We both noticed that he does hug with his eyes quite often. So when the opportunity came up to use the line, I just couldn't resist. Hope that you and yours are well, hon. Jules
Reviewer: lam (Signed) · Date: 06/03/09 09:45 PM · On: Chapter 2
Ah Jules! This was just what the doctor ordered -- it's like the pieces of the universe are back where they belong! Sammy looking up to his awesome, kind-hearted, and heroic brother -- who will always be a better fighter/hunter... So nice to see competent bad-ass Dean too! Awesome! I am intrigued for your next story now -- I hope I will be able to find the time to keep up with it, but my RL is insane... I've been meaning to drop you a note for ages -- I was so worried about the fires.... Anyway, hope all is well -- and thanks so much for this!!!
Author's Response: Hi, Lisa, So great to see you back on the site again. And don't worry - I'm two states away from the bushfires. Yes, it was a much simpler time back then, wasn't it? The boys didn't have the weight of the world on their shoulders - all they had to do was find the yellow-eyed demon, find their father, and kill everything evil between them and their goals - simple. Glad you enjoyed it, hon. Jules
Reviewer: darkhunter (Signed) · Date: 06/03/09 03:13 PM · On: Chapter 2
Thanks for another wonderful story. i'm really looking forward to the next one,i loved Cookie6's the long hard road out of hell and i love your stories so it's going to be brilliant,right i think i'd better go calm down now getting over excited here lol.
Author's Response: Thank you for that. I can tell you that both Cookie and I have been pretty much chewing our fingernails this week making sure that chapter 1 is tweaked and ready to go. She's working hard on her section as well as running her eye over the chapters I've done to make sure I've hit all the right marks according to the story outline. But we're really looking forward to it. Jules
Reviewer: Primrose (Signed) · Date: 06/03/09 01:53 PM · On: Chapter 1
Oh, you got me! I fell for your bait and switch, and was scared to death the Impala had its window shot out. I love how the story played out, and I love the brotherly banter at the end.
Author's Response: I got you? Awesome! *chortles with glee*... My evil plan worked! LOL. Thanks for that - so glad you loved the little light-hearted moment at the end. The boys needed it after their stressful night on the mountain. Jules
Reviewer: bia1007 (Signed) · Date: 06/03/09 10:43 AM · On: Chapter 2
"And stop hugging me with your eyes", God I love this line, loved the whole story, a great fight to show Don their respect (definitely enjoyed their way of doing it), our boys together and at ease with each other (Dean always Sam's "fallback position", touching scene!) - aah, and yes, you brought John Farnham's songs back to me, perfect! Thank you so much! Looking forward to the new story!!!
Author's Response: Hey, Bia! As I said to Fredo, that line came out of a Sam discussion Cookie6 and I had one weekend, where we were talking about the boys and who is the most tactile of the two of them. And we watched episodes to gather our evidence - we're dilligent researchers, I tell you. And we came to the conclusion that while Sam is the more open-hearted, he doesn't really touch unless he's touched first. It's like he waits for permission. But he does hug with his eyes an awful lot. There are some wonderful eye-hugs to be spotted - in the car in Dead In The Water, and just before Dean tosses over the keys in Wendigo just to name two. Bet you could find more. So stoked that you enjoyed Dean's idea of payback. And Sam's fallback position being Dean - always Dean. See you on the next one, and good luck with that eye-hug research! Jules

Hi Jules I loved this little slice of brotherly goodness. A little trip through the emotions ending with the bit I loved most, the last little scene with the brothers in the motel room, so nice to read after the angst of watching season 4. *grateful smile* Great story and I loved Don, poor soul, and Dean's reaction to the whole situation. Looking forward to the next one, Mary xx
Author's Response: Hi, Mary! Thank you for that. Yes, I know what you mean about season 4. We've only seen up to episode 8 so far on the television, but we've heard about all the angst. I'm getting really nervous about this wonderful journey Kripke's taking us on, and I have to admit, I fear for the boys. So it was nice to revisit a simpler, more carefree time in their lives. Glad you liked the little not-chick-flick moment in the motel once it was all over. Jules
Reviewer: NongPradu (Signed) · Date: 06/03/09 09:09 AM · On: Chapter 2
Ok, this was sheer brilliance! I don't know how you do it -- manage to pull together the humour, the angst, the action, and the general "feel" of the show and make it all work so effortlessly. I loved every inch of this. The boys got to kick some butt, the bad guys got their comeuppance, and then we got to see some adorable pillow talk (in the strictly brotherly sense). Just awesome!
Author's Response: Wow - thank you so much. Yep, the boys got to kick butt big-time and give the baddies a taste of retribution in honour of a good man cut down. And so chuffed that you liked the story-time at the end, and the brotherly moments. *hugs* Jules
Reviewer: Soennelchen (Signed) · Date: 06/03/09 09:06 AM · On: Chapter 2
It's Friday and it's update-day again :) What a ride!!! Thank you for taking us along. I loved this story. So looking forward to next weeks' story - it sounds very good to me! And thanks for your mail :) Hugs from snowy Germany to sunny Down Under!
Author's Response: Hi, Dagmar! Thanks for the chilly hug - LOL! It's actually been raining the last few days - we've had a cyclone moving down the coast, and we're catching the fringe of it in Brisbane. So glad you came along for the ride - it was quite a ride, wasn't it? Storms, mountains, jilted lovers, payback, and a bedtime story. Whew! See you on the new one - hope I don't scare you off..... Jules
Reviewer: vonnie836 (Signed) · Date: 06/03/09 07:51 AM · On: Chapter 2
This was truly amazing. You brought out Dean's true nature here, what he is all about. His first priority is saving Sam and he does it without thinking. It comes naturally because it's who he is. He has his own ethic code and it is noble, like a true knight's should be.Don't touch married women, no exceptions. Always play fair. Protect the one's in need, the one's that don't deserve what they get. Hardworking people who get messed with. You can't always save them but they deserve to get justice Dean Winchester style. And last but not least, always let your little brother know you are proud of him, preferably without a chick flick moment. Loved this. So now I'm waiting for you next story. It scares me a little because it sounds dark, but hey, I trust you. Hugs, Vonnie
Author's Response: Hey, Vonnie! Aww, thank you...*hugs*....you're going to make me cry... Yes, Dean's first priority is always Sam. And you're absolutely right about his standards. He does have his own code, and he tries very hard to stick to it. And he is proud of his little brother - after all, he taught him everything he knows. Sam is who he is because of Dean. Scared by the next story? You have reason to be...... Jules
Reviewer: Vanessa (Signed) · Date: 06/03/09 06:45 AM · On: Chapter 2
Bravo! Excellent wrap up. Two absolutely classic lines were: "You try to hug me and I swear to God, I will lock you in the trunk." followed by "And stop hugging me with your eyes," he groused." My favorite part was the ending. The whole "Tell me a story." and Sam's reaction "I don't like this story, Dean." WONDERFUL stuff. Cookie mentioned you guys were doing a co-write. Awesome. But after your author's note, I'm a little scared. :-)
Author's Response: Hi, Ness! Awww, I'm thrilled that you loved those lines. Especially the eye-hug one. I've been waiting to use that one, actually. And in the next story, I'm finally going to use the "weapons of mass seduction" line that you asked me about ages ago. And so glad you liked the brotherly moment at the end. My soul needs that happy ending. Yep, we are doing the next one together. She was helping me organise my thoughts on the outline, and it naturally progressed to me asking her to co-write a few chapters - and she said yes! But...um.....yes, you should be scared. Jules
Reviewer: penmin (Signed) · Date: 06/03/09 05:26 AM · On: Chapter 2
Oh that was sad, poor Don just glad they were there for him at the end, and the bar fight...well that was good one! (you asked which epi we were on here, only up to "Its the great pumpkin...." one)...Jacq
Author's Response: Thank you for that, Jacq. I did feel a bit bad killing poor Don after what he went through, but it was necessary for the way the story was going. It allowed Sam to see his brother in a different light with Dean staying by Don's side while he was dying, and then going after the two who caused the whole thing. Ah, you're one behind us, then. Or is it two? We've seen Wishful Thinking. Jules
