I wanted to tell you that this story really moved me. Heartbreaking. and Beautiful.
Author's Response: Thank you Prop, To be told that something I wrote had that effect on you is quite the compliment, I am really glad you enjoyed this. It was one of those pieces that you have no clue where it came from and feel a little guilty taking credit for it!!! LOL. Thanks for taking the time to review. Abi

Such an intriguing and hear-breaking story. I'm amazed by your talent and the ideas that you find to work your magic on. Having Dean kill the one person he'd spent so much time protecting was heart-breaking, especially since Dean viewed it as a battle lost in saving Sam.
Author's Response: Well you certainly know how to brighten a girl's day!!! Thank you for your amazingly kind comments. I know you read and review reams of work so I take all you have said as high praise indeed!!! Thank you also for reading so closely - you have fully understood the place I was aiming for - what a relief that is too!!!! LOL. Your reviews are ALWAYS a boost for me - wanted you to know that. Thank you Lady - as ever you are way too kind... but I LOVES IT !!!! LOL Abi XX :)

Beautifully written. I'm looking forward to more.
Author's Response: Thank you for your kid words - I a glad you enjoyed this. I Have to say though I kind of wrote it as a one shot and have no plans just now to expand. The stars are also very shiny!!!!! LOVE the stars!!!! Abi

I certainly did! It was wonderful. Sad and dark and the Shakespeare was nicely squeezed in there. Great job!
Author's Response: Thank YOU *Grins*, Glad you did!!! ;-) You are very kind - glad the Shakesearen didn't stick out like a sore thumb! Isort of worked from the quote as a starting point. Thanks for taking the time to let me know how you found it. Abi

This is one of the most well written stories I've ever read in FanFiction, anywhere! -- The feelings and words are deep and meaningful, and you really humble me - Bravo!
Author's Response: So, not really sure how to respond here - I am bowled over by your praise ... and at the same time have this urge to ask you to check you posted your review to the right story??!!!LOL. You are truly FAR too kind - I read a lot on this site and for you to feel that way for this site alone is the biggest compliment! Thank you so much for bolstering my ego to hitherto unknown heights!!!! ;-) That my story entertained you is thrilling for me - that you found meaning in it of the kind you describe, that leaves me speechless and with nothing more "deep or meaningful" to say than - WOW! Bless you I don't think you realize that you have probably made my YEAR!!!!! LOL! Many thanks. Abi.

*shudder* You have written a truly chilling story here. As you warned, it was very dark, but it was also very compelling. I loved your use of the Hamlet quote and how it tied in throughout the story. Excellent.
Author's Response: Whoa - got my FIRST shudder response!!!!! Very cool !LOL! Thank you so much for letting me know how you found this piece. I am flattered that you found it "dark but compelling", glad I didn't put you off there. The Hamlet quote is a definite favorite of mine; as is the play. I thought the common themes of 'Searching for the truth' and 'Masks' applied in both and I just did a little experimenting by combining the two. Now that may sound like I take my books very seriously (I do LOVE to read) but really it was more like trying different combinations at the Ice cream Factory of a Pizza Hut!!!! I was just playing and really enjoyed writing this - so I am thrilled that you seem to have enjoyed reading it!!!! ;-) Thanks for taking the time to read and review. Abi.

This was really good. Most people overdo the explanations of what Sam and Dean are feeling, like beating us over the head with it, but you don't in this and it all comes across beautifully.
Author's Response: Wow - Thank you for that very kind review. I think I am utterly guilty of rolling in the Angst (:-) - on occasion, it's enjoyably to write, but your comment made me think that attempting to apply the "less is more" rule may make my writing a little more polished??? (Or at least sand down the rough edges!!!! LOL) I am glad you liked this piece and grateful that you took the time to let me know your thoughts. Abi.
Reviewer: darkhunter (Signed) · Date: 16/05/09 03:53 PM · On: Chapter 1
Wow, this was an excellent one shot, very dark and sad but beautifuly written, well done.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the ego boosting review!!!! LOL! I am pleased that you enjoyed it - and grinning (hugely) at the fact that you thought it was "beautifully written"! Appreciate you taking the time to read and review this piece. Abi.

Poor Dean, that was extremely sad. YED sure loves to play with his mind!
Author's Response: Yeah the YED may call Sam his favorite, but I think knowing that Dean was the one who killed him gave him that extra zest for torturing the boy!!!!! Thank you for taking the time to review this, glad you liked it! ;-) Abi.
Reviewer: birdie (Signed) · Date: 16/05/09 06:31 AM · On: Chapter 1
Abi. Wow! Where's the rest? Don't stop there..don't leave me there! Like it very much...love the bi-polarity of it...represented both in Riley's craziness/sanity and Dean's need to do hsi job/guilt that he has to. Is Riley (dead Riley!)gonna come after him? I sense a passion for vengeance! More please as soon as you're ready and congrats on the feature, Abi well deserved. Bev xx
Author's Response: Birdie!!!!!! Far far too long! (But so my fault on that one!!!LOL) Am very grateful for the glowing review - you always know how to build a girl up!! OK as for the rest - I kind of planned this in as a one shot, and have not really given thought as to where it might go. I only just finished Fearsome Loyalty- which kind of took me the year - dragged that one out !!!! I just wanted to play with this one. Am flattered - as always that YOU thought this was good, and believe me when I say I just could NOT believe I was featured!!! Talk about bowled over! Cheers Abi.

I'm struggling here to know what to say - that was one very emotional read, superbly put together. Poor poor Dean - old Yellow Eyes keeps stacking the cards against him being able to save Sam!
Author's Response: Thank you for the great review, glad you liked it. Was flattered that you considered it well put together - I sometimes run off at a gallop when writing and forget the detail, so appreciate the praise in this area!!!! :-) Yeah I am a little worried about where season four will take the brothers - life seems harder for Dean, even though he has Angels on his shoulder! Abi
Reviewer: Swellison (Signed) · Date: 16/05/09 01:05 AM · On: Chapter 1
Whoa. Well, enjoyed is not the right word, here, but this is certainly a reveting, gripping story. You did an excellentl job capturing Riley's crazy/not crazy vibe and Dean's eagerness to save Riley. However, things didn't work out the way Dean would've liked, good thing Sam's around to try to pick up the pieces. Now I've got to go find something lighter to read! Sue
Author's Response: Hi Sue!Appreciate the kind, honest review. Yeah enjoyed may be a bit sunshine and light considering the content of some of this. Glad it worked for you though - scarily Riley's distracted state of mind may have just been overspill from a crazy day I was having (shhh don't tell!!!!! LOL). But truly happy that Dean's need to save came through - he is such fun to right and I always feel there is that danger of "hamming up" that intense level of devotion he has for his brother or the sincerity with which he wants to save people.Thank you for your time though - greatly appreciated!Abi.
Reviewer: saltnburnem (Signed) · Date: 16/05/09 12:09 AM · On: Chapter 1
Whoa!! Loved the title and the beautiful way you worked it into the story. Perfect depiction of Dean and his crippling fear, that he hides deep inside, that Sam is really a hawk. The way that Dean tries to protect Riley and sees Riley as another YED victim like Sam was revealed so slowly and subtly......great job!!
Author's Response: Thank you for the kind compliment. Again am overjoyed that you got what I was trying to convey - sometimes I kind of worry that trying to be too flowery results in a really confusing piece of work - but I am a lifelong bookworm... can't help going for the juicy apples!!!!! I love this quote and the more I thought on it, the more this story came to life for me. I am hoping Sam is not a Hawk - but I am still waiting on the edge of my seat to see how that turns out!!! LOL. Thanks for taking the time to let me know how you found this piece. Abi.

I absolutely LOVED the construction of this story. I was intrigued, and then captivated, devouring each word till the bitter and sad ending. I loved Riley's POV... and how Dean responded- and thought the plot was completely plausible. I could see Dean going back to check on someone like Riley,always sooo totally vested in the people he saves (or in this case- maybe didnt save)... and the similarity that Dean would draw between Riley and Sam was so in character as well as heartbreaking consider where the canon show has gone. Well done...
Author's Response: What an AMAZING surprise to wake up to! Firstly I know you read the reams of very talented work that appears on this sit, so receiving such a glowing review from you was a gift in itself - but if you are responsible for the Feature, I am truly humbled!!!!! Was NOT expecting that ;-) !!!I really get in to the first person POV's and wanted to examine the boys life through someone else's eyes - someone who had also peeked behind the curtain. Really glad that the build up worked as I was worried about being too vague.Thrilled that you find this scenario plausible - I always view Dean in that mould, the savoir complex he has just makes him pay consistently but makes him sooo damn likable.Thanks again for the huge compliment! Made my week!!!!Abi.
Reviewer: penmin (Signed) · Date: 15/05/09 08:49 AM · On: Chapter 1
I really like the way you have written this, from the view of the posessed and the aftermath, very intense, and Dean wants so much at this time to save everyone, it would really hurt him especially as it could also refer to Sam even now! Good one...Jacq
Author's Response: Thank you for the generous review Jacq, Also you have completely got what I was attempting - which is pretty cool as I wasn't sure that it was translating too well on to the screen! We haven't reached what I think is going to be the bitter end of season four where I am, but I can see Sam being in real trouble (must be Tuesday?!!!LOL) and I just ran with that line of thinking. Glad you liked it. Abi.
