A very emotionally charged chapter. I've thought all along that it was Sam's ego that led him down the path to Ruby, that he wanted to outshine the image of Dean that he had in his head. I never considered that Sam might have felt inferior or that he was a burden to his borther. I never considered he was acting out of a sense of worthlessness rather than pride. You really opened my eyes.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the cluster of reviews, S.! I look forward to these---ml

If Dean was removing the tube that I think he was removing...ow! Not something I'd want to do myself. Good to see the Wincesters are on the move again. Recuperation at Bobby's is better than any bare, cold hospital.

The opening passage was wonderful! I understood Bobby's anger and sadness. I especially like that he took all his anger out on a flower. Been there, done that. Poor Dean! It's like WIAWSNB only Dean decided himself to end that dream. This time the decision was taken from him.

Awww! I'm so sad for Bobby and Dean. What a hard and horrible decision Bobby had to make.

"...unhappily familiar odours of Dettol and latex, bleached linen and collective misery." An interesting description! I don't want to come back and I'm not even there. What a beautiful home!!

"We ain't about to call him a house-plant..." Hilarious! I love Bobby's bluntness. What a nice dream-life Dean is having! It's almost a shame to interrupt it.

"...a good kid. Sam the thinker. The worrier." That describes the first season Sam wonderfully. I miss him! "There they were, those two miserable words. I'm sorry. They were the worst thing you could hear escape the lips of a medical professional. I'm sorry. It meant there's no hope. It meant give up, and go back home alone." I've heard those words before and they aren't pleasant. Like being hit in the stomach with a ten pound maul. But what this dotor doesn't know is that he's dealing with Winchesters. Normal doesn't apply to them.

Yay! Ruby's dead! The force Sam used was incredibly described! I hope as he uses it, he's better able to control it. And I hope Dean is going to be okay. No more reruns of this day.

Mal, Wow! Dean should have called Sam an Ass for thinking that. All Dean has ever done was be there for Sam. he never treated Sam like he wasn't equal. Sam is selfish and always thinking of himself. This chapter was good; the interaction with Sam and Dean telling each other how they felt. after Thursday's episode this chapter hits a nerve with me. hope the next chapter will be up soon.
Author's Response: Thanks RB My version of poor Sam has some things to work through...ml
Reviewer: Oceane (Signed) · Date: 19/09/09 07:01 PM · On: Chapter 42
That was a powerful and intense chapter. Dean and Sam finally said the truth to each other, how hurted they're. Now that everything has been said, hope things'll get better between them. Can't wait for more.
Author's Response: Thanks, O. Very hard story to end...ml

An excellent chapter, very powerful writing, so emotional but it needed to be said.
Author's Response: Thanks, DH. Sorry I've been so slow lately---ml

oooh! Soooo exciting! I think I read as fast as Bobby drove. I'm out of breath and eager for Dean to be okay, eager to find out what's happening with Sam and Castiel.
Reviewer: Shannondoah (Signed) · Date: 19/09/09 12:26 PM · On: Chapter 33
OH MY STARS!! Fantastic chapter! Love Dean's muisngs about being alone in the night sky. Hurrying off to find out who's saving his fabulous butt!

This is so where the boys are at the moment, I loved this. I nice little get it all out in the open moment and then try to move on. The dragon you were standing on, as if you were f~cking St. George himself---who's throat were you actually crushing? Was it Lucifer's, or was it mine--?" - loved this line. And this one - But you drove me to it, Dean. All I ever needed was for you to sit and talk to me like I was an equal. Not little Sammy, not your assignment from Dad.. Just your brother, and as someone who was as deep in this shit as you are. Looking forward to the next part, Mary xx

That was just so painful for both of them, they seemed to have been carrying so much baggage about, will they ever be able to regain the bond they had before this all started? Great chapter really enjoyed reading it, Can't wait for the next one.
Author's Response: Thanks Maureen N. I appreciate the feedback---ml

Oh wow!! This was so damn powerful and a scene that I hope we get on the show. Both boys need to get it all out on the table and you had them do it here. Awesome!
Author's Response: Thanks for saying so. This tale is bringing me down, I need to end it soon.--mal

Terrific chapter. I loved Dean and Bobby's conversation, there're still a little sadness from Dean about what he lost but he understood why Bobby did this and he forgave him. They're back at home, finally, time to rest, and to deal with Sam's powers. Like the others, I don't see any problem with your story, Mal, it's captivating and so well written, I always beg for more and I enjoyed all your other stories too, you're a great author.
Author's Response: Thanks, O. I needed to hear that, sad as that is. I appreciate your constant reviewing, again, thanks!!--ml

Oh, Dean made an early exit out of a hospital once again... had to giggle about his "connection" to things and Bobby who wanted to take care of it. I felt so sorry for both Bobby and Dean as they know about "where" he spent the last 10 days and why he didn't want to come back. I absolutely enjoyed this chapter again as I did with all of them. I also noticed that someone must have put out low ratings and was surprised by it. I saw this happen to another major story a couple months back and there it was clearly a matter of dislike. I hope it is not the case here. As you said, tastes might be different but if so - guys, just stop reading or tell the writer what the problem is instead of just passing out low ratings. Well, as you know there are lots of people on this site who absolutely enjoy your stories and honor the work and creativity you put into it. So - thank you very much!
Author's Response: Thanks, S. I always look forward to your review, and I appreciate your encouragement--ml
Reviewer: Maureen Nesbitt (Signed) · Date: 13/09/09 09:40 AM · On: Chapter 41
WOW, fantastic chapter, Glad that Dean is up and about again and seemingly none the worse for the experience except being as weak as a day old kitten. Maybe he should have stayed in the hospital for a few days more, and fobbed off the lady shrink until he was feeling stronger. Looking forward to the next post.
Author's Response: I think poor Dean was in a mood to punch someone, and the lady shrink was lucky to have avoided it, lol---ml

Awww, off to Bobby's, looking forward to that, i can't see any problems with this story, i'm loving it.
Author's Response: Thanks for saying so, DH. ---ml

Hey Mal So Dean is on his feet, kind of, and they're back at Bobby's? You're gonna be nice to our boy now, aren't you?? :) If this story is getting low stars then there is nothing you can do to fix the problem because it sure isn't with the story itself! It might be someone that's new to the site, I had problems with the stars when I joined, and doesn't realise that each star is only a half? In fact - it MUST be that because if they don't like this story, there is no hope for the rest of us! Mary x
Author's Response: Of course I'll be kind to our poor Dean, lol! Thanks for your sweet words, ml
Reviewer: rbliss1969 (Signed) · Date: 12/09/09 10:36 PM · On: Chapter 41
Mal, another great chapter. i am glad that Dean is back and also glad that he doesn't hate Bobby. Sam is so going to be a Mother Hen over Dean and his injuries......that is our Sammy. hope another chapter will be up soon. and as for the person who doesn't like you writing. screw them they don't know what they are talking about. take care Renee
Author's Response: Thanks Renee. A balm to my soul---ml
Reviewer: Renate (Signed) · Date: 12/09/09 10:27 PM · On: Chapter 41
Don't know what the problem is either, M. I'm enjoying this one, too, as I've enjoyed all of yours.
Author's Response: Thank you. I love hearing that people are enjoying reading--ml
