I love this chapter but for a reason i think you couldn´t even imagine.

i´m a doc in a third world country and i know what is have a almost dead in your hands and nothing more than an aspirin. I love your doc and your Abe becuase hunni, in this country so far away form God there are plenty of them.

 

Nice cliffie at the end!!! 

Author's Response:

Oh, wow. You life humbles me. I am in admiration of anyone who can and does care for the sick or injured -- I don't have the education and I don't know that if I had the book smarts I would have the spine to do what has to be done.

Doc was based, believe it or not, on the head Vet in the clinic where my husband works. He has a kind of battlefield approach to medicine -- and he doesn't see animals, he sees patients. I think he's a truly unique individual.

Abe is just... Abe. He's from my head -- not based on anyone, really. I just wanted someone to help the boys but not get in the way, if that makes sense. And I needed him to be a person who would be able to see honor and courage and recognize it for what it was.

I'm so glad you liked them. And knowing that you're a doctor, I'm now officially nervous about chapters 7 and 8 standing up to your approval. Just remember... fiction. :)

I´m crying, seriously sweety this chapter was heart breaking.

The last part i almost couldn´t read it because of the tears in my eyes.

That is the SN i want to see and that is the SN i see in Jensen Ackles eyes when he´s playing Dean and in Sam´s eyes when he´s watching his big bro......Sn isn´t about hunting monsters it´s about love, the kind of love that make you sacrificated all you have (including yourself) only to see a smile in the others face.

Author's Response:

Thank you so much for your continued reviews and for making the sap in me tear up at your comments. I agree with you. It's about two brothers who would do anything, give up everything for each other. Oh, and they also happen to hunt evil.

There were a couple of chapters in this story that kinda wrecked me as I wrote... this was one of them. Chapter 5 was another. And 7. I hope they impact you as much as this one did.

Author's Response:

So glad you're enjoying this. Go study, the story will be waiting for you when you get back. :) I look foward to seeing what you think of the rest.

Cheers -- GS

And now for my favourite of all your stories! I adore the little details - the Riddick reference, Dean drawing the protection symbol on the travois, Dean thinking Abe was his dad and Sam playing along, the flashbacks (especially the first hunt after Sam left, when Dean went through the motions without saying a single word). Sick/hurt Dean twists my guts, (and like you I avoid analysing why!) so this story had me absolutely in knots. You will have to unravel me by writing another story - my humble and ill-disguised effort to encourage you gently towards your next   Supernatural fiction! Which brings me to another point.I realise I have been incredibly fortunate to have arrived late to this site, because all of your stories were complete and I could read them straight through. How will I cope when you are posting a chapter at a time????? This story is a masterpiece, but I'm sure you can match it - thanks again!

Author's Response:

This is my favorite, too. OC's are fun to create and write, but nothing beats our boys together.

Ciel, you've completely turned my day around with these individual reviews of my three stories. Thank you so much for taking the time!

So, I hope I don't jinx myself by saying this, but when I'm writing and posting, it's usually pretty quick. None of my stories have been over 8 chapters (though some chapters are longer than others) and from beginning to end, it's about a four-week time period. It's only because I can't hold it in. When the story starts to come alive past the "idea" stage in me, if I don't tell someone (i.e. post it) it drives me nuts!

Hopefully that will be the way of it in the future -- and I dearly hope to see you on a review page then.

Take care of you -- GS

“Why didn’t you kill him,” Dean asked, his voice sandpaper-rough, his eyes on Running Horse.

“Because he was my brother.”

Have a feeling Dean's going to run into this dilemma again soon... 

“One day he will destroy himself to save you… It is the blessing and the curse of brothers.”

Sam blinked, looking at Abe. “What the hell am I supposed to do with that?”

I loved Sam's response, cause I was thinking the same thing. Which is why I'm going to take a minute and thank you for your version of Sam. He's spot on. The analytical broody one. But when Dean is down for the count, he takes on his characteristics as stubborn smart ass.

“You never know, Sam,” Dean dropped his eyes to the road ahead of him. “We could run into Dad again soon. For real this time.”

“Yeah,” Sam sighed. “Knowing him he’ll just jump into the back seat one day when we least expect it.”

Dean grinned. He’d like that. “I’d like that.”

“I know you would, man,” Sam nodded. He looked at Dean’s eyes in the rear-view mirror. “I know.”

*smile*

Oh I loved this, Storyteller. Thank you for the great read.

Author's Response:

Thank YOU for the kind reviews. I enjoyed writing this and it's very satisfying to see that you enjoyed the read.

Thanks for the kudos on Sam. I think that he really only shines when Dean's not 100%... it seems (at least until recently on the show) any other time he's content with... just letting Dean drive. So it's great to see him step up when Dean can't be there to carry the load.

Storyteller! No! Why are you stopping my heart over here!? *clicks next button*


Author's Response:

Kinda mean, huh? Well, honestly, I had to stop it there because the chapter was waaaayyyy too long. :) It was an unintentional cliffie... but, it worked. Heh.

Thanks for the chapter-by-chapter reviews! :)

Great chapter

Author's Response: Thanks so much!

About the first hunt w/out Sam: “Usual, but it was all… empty. Dad was wrong. I was wrong. Without you… it took a long time to get into a different groove, Sammy.”

I always thought that. Wondered what that would have been like. 

Storyteller! This chapter was brilliant. I was so absorbed I let my morning toast burn and my coffee got cold. *laugh* Great work!

Author's Response:

Oh dear. Your toast is toast. I love it. Am not sorry one bit that you're so absorbed. *BIG grin*

Thanks for the chapter reviews -- so much!

Oh wow...I loved the flashbacks, and all this time that they are spending together talking things out. I'm really sad for Dean, and this is why: Neither he nor Sam knows what their father's motives were for not showing up when they needed him, but Dean wants to believe in the man. Because that is what keeps him sane sometimes. That is very heartbreaking. Ah! And poor Dean with that werewolf! 

So, Storyteller, you have me on pins and needles here. Moving to the next chapter. 

Author's Response:

I have...issues with John. I try to see him as a distinct character, but I've only been able to see him through Dean's eyes and through Sam's eyes. And that means he becomes almost two different people for me.

My heart breaks for Dean, too, because he looks at John and sees a person, flawed and wonderful. He sees his hero. I just wish he saw that in himself.

Thanks so much for reading and letting me know what you think.

“You just keeled over, man. You’re lucky you were right here or I wouldn’t have been able to catch you.”

“You’re lucky I was right here or you’d be kibble.”

Again...one cannot be without the other. *smile* 

"Dean cleared his throat and roused himself from his stare into the middle distance. He turned back to the rocks, methodically sifting through them as he spoke. “So Dad started singing to me when we went to bed. He didn’t sing like Mom used to… not… I don’t know… flowy like her. He sang in beats. In rhythms. I guess I started the same thing when I felt… out of control somehow.” "

I love that.  John's song being by the Doors makes me smile as well.

So our boys are protected from the Wendigo...for now...

Great work, Storyteller. 

Author's Response:

Hee. You just called me Storyteller. I'm gonna float on that for awhile... :)

And I just think music is in these boys... somehow, it seems to fit for me.
