The scene with Castiel and the little boy was so sweet!  I was so touched that God found Castiel and made things right between them, restored his faith in himself and his Lord.  So much of the series makes God out to be an absent power who cares little about His children on earth.  I'm glad that you reminded us that not even a sparrow will fall without His knowing.

What a contrast between Lilith's playfully wicked little girls and this trusting, kind child.  Once again you've summed up the difference between good and evil with a simple comparison.

"She wanted to fry his nads to the scorched earth after what he'd done to her."  How funny!  My hsuband winced in pain when I read it out loud to him.

...diving headfirst into our own bloodbath!"  Very colorful statement!  I luuuuv it!

 

What a sweet idea for Dean to give his hand controls to some other kid with the same debilitating injury.  Way to spread the love!

Oooh!  What wicked torture not only for Sam but for Dean as well.

Halleluia!  I'm delighted that Dean finally can feel his legs again, even if it does mean he's wracked with agonizing pain at the moment.  There's hope for the future.  the burned handprint on his back is a great tie-in to the episode.

How wonderful for Bobby to tell Dean he needed him in charge!  that proves to Dean that he isn't worthless.  He is a valuable and needed hunter.

 

You said they would belt each other and they did, a lot lol, looking forward to them getting to Bobby's

Author's Response: Yeah,  that little spat was long in coming,  lol---thanks---mal

There are so many different emotions playing out here.  I need some Tylenol and a nap just reading about the turmoil.  Excellent writing!  I feel part of each character and understand their emotions and views.

yay Anna!  She'll make sure Dean gets help.

Jesus H. Christ?!  That's funny!  Hee!  Did Cas tell you his middle name?

Another great update!  Looks like the dust has to settle some.  Our only hopes are the Trickster and Castiel.  Unless you have soemthing else up your sleeve, Magician.

 

 

Geez!  you can really beat Dean into ground beef.  Losing the ability to care for himself independently is the worst thing that could happen to Dean.  Hopefully, Cas will be able to do something later.  *crosses fingers*

Damn!  Sam just won't learn his lesson. 

You're rounding up all my favorite villains for this story.  First Lilith, now the Trickster---yay!

I love Lilith!  She's the character you love to hate!  She has her own creepy personality and the fact that she possesses children is both more horrifying and amusing than other demons.

This chapter is pure awesomeness of writing! The way you let us take a look into Bobby's head, Sam and Dean's thoughts on David, Ellen and their possible happiness, the final confrontation between Sam and Dean in the car... I can see it playing out in front of me! Moving on...

I don't know whether I'm just in a beat up Sam mood or whether you've infulenced my feelings with your writing, but Sam's giving too little, too late.

Dean and David on the road together---I'm interested to see the dynamic between these two friends as opposed to when the brothers hunt together.

As for not reading what's out there in UnGen world, that's not unusual.  Many writers don't like to read while they're writing for fear it will influence their stories.  I love to read so I don't let it stop me.  Sometimes it's actually helpful.  If I'm planning a werewolf story and there are tons being posted at that time, I move onto something else.

Whatever you need to do to keep writing, keep doing it!  I'll keep reading it!
