I like this epilogue, told mostly from Sam's point of view. Sam knows exactly what Dean's limit is for being stuck in bed, recuperating and goes along with leaving when Dean thinks he's ready, altho at least Sam's driving - so Dean does sort of acknowledge his limits. I like the dragon/Piasa bird discussion. Thought the Indians wiped them out - must've missed one. Very deadpan/dark/Winchester humor. And I liked that Sam acknowledged, at least to himself, that his big brother is his anchor. Fantastic, wonderfully put-together story, thank you! Sue

I like this, you take the classic wake up screaming from a nightmare scenario and make it totally Winchester, totally Dean. And I love that we get caring!Sam looking after Dean. Also, you threw in that Sam had hauled Dean to a clinic (a couple of towns over, had to cover their tracks), because with those injuries, Dean would need professional medical attention. The ending bit was wonderful. "Lost ya for a while there, Sammy." sniff Sue

Aha, at last we get the climax of the battle with the big, flying fugly (flugly?). This whole chapter screams Dean as the narrator... from the willingness to sacrifice himself so that his brother can escape to the very handsome Happy Meal comment. I wasn't expecting the fugly to have a humanish head (it does have the antlers up there, somewhere). A really creepy monster combo. I think the head got mentioned at the tail end of the last chapter, too. The repetition of pieces of the dream over and over makes it resonate/haunt the reader almost as much as its haunting Dean, nice touch. Sue

Just 2 more comments... 1. Of course, Dean would be uncomfortable at the thought of God actually existing, because then he has to consider all thos pesky questions like the existence of evil. Really liked his embarrassment. 2. As much as Sam is seen as the independent one (for going away to Stanford), it's easy to see that he also needs his brother. They've shared so much, that if either one forgt othe other, they would lose a huge part of themselves. Thanks for resolving that in this chapter, and keep up the great writing!
Reviewer: Armaita (Signed) · Date: 24/10/09 11:45 AM · On: always with you
This would have been a phenomenal ending--showing how deeply-connected the Winchesters are without coming across as a chick-flick moment--but I'll reserve judgment until I read the epilogue.
Reviewer: Armaita (Signed) · Date: 24/10/09 11:23 AM · On: sacrifice made
Leave it to Dean to belittle his own end. 'all he'd ever asked for'--Typical Dean, thanks for this heart-wrenching, dead-on characterization.
Author's Response: Hey there! Thanks for continuing to read and review, I really appreciate it. And stars, yay! Yeah, I love Dean's character so much, and self-sacrifice is such a big part of him. I'm thrilled that you thought the characterization in this was good. I always spend a lot of time on that. I have another action/adventure hurt/comfort story started that you might be interested in, "The Soul Collector." It's in progress. If you'd prefer something that's already finished, check out "Thanksgiving, Winchester Style or, The Importance of Pie." It's a series of one-shots throughout the boys' lives, mainly showing their bond over the years. There's a little of everything in there--hurt/comfort, action/adventure, family drama, humor, etc--but mainly a slew of brother moments. If you take a look, I'd love to hear what you think! :) Thanks again for taking the time to read and review, you totally made my day!

Great imagery, but you've got me worried, regardless of which brother is on the cliff and which one is likely suffering from a concussion...going to go read the next chapter now, thx!
Author's Response: Hey there! Thanks for coming over to read and review my story! I always appreciate getting feedback, and I was especially happy you left me stars, too! :) I'm glad you're enjoying the story so much.

LOL, can understand Dean's vow to never hunt anything with wings again! Poor Dean - the ultimate injustice for someone who hates flying - being grabbed by Big Bird. So, it's a Piasa Bird. Now we know. Loved that line of Sam's about no one asked Dean to jump in front of a twenty foot man-eating bird. That just tickled me for some reason. Sam has a delightfully wry sense of humour when he lets it shine. I also loved Sam's realisation that Dean always underestimated his importance to Sam - that is so true. Sam loves his big brother just as much as Dean cares for Sam - he just shows it in a different way. I also loved Sam's thoughts on how he'd felt while Dean had been out of it - like he'd missed an arm. That was beautiful. Heck, the whole story was beautiful. Absolutely worth me coming out of my cave for. Thank you for sharing, Beth. I do love your writing. Jules *goes for coffee finally*

That was a lovely moment between the two brothers - that panicked clutch at Sam's shirtsleeve, Sam recognising that Dean needed for him not to move away just yet. Sam's own fears easing as his brother regained coherency and memory. And Dean feeling the last missing piece of the puzzle click back into place. So, we just have to find out what Big Bird was, and hope Dean is completely out of the woods. Love the last line, though, have to say. Really loved it. Jules *click*

I'm still going with it being Dean - the Big Bird comment and the thought about why couldn't his brother for once do as he was told sort of pointed me towards Dean. And oh, gosh, he's flying!!!!! And major OUCH - both shoulders punctured by that thing's claws. Could feel that burning pain as he brought the gun up and braced himself for the recoil. And now he's falling - uh, no, he's down. Yikes - that had to hurt... No wonder he forgot who he was. Jules

The connection between the two men, even though the injured one (still think it's Dean) can't remember who he is yet, is so faithfully portrayed and so skillfully painted. That was a really beautiful chapter with some great lines.The wounded hunter wasn't the only one feeling a warmth spreading through his chest at those softly murmured words. And I really loved that line - "The other man's presence had reassured, calmed, quelled the panic inside." That line could be for either brother - they resonate with each other so well. And I loved that the injured one could tell just by listening to that voice in the dark whether his newly remembered brother was hurt. That gave me a serious case of the warm and fuzzies, too. Reading on - still haven't gone for that coffee yet.... *click* Jules
Reviewer: mizpah (Signed) · Date: 06/09/09 12:44 AM · On: sacrifice made
"Protecting him was all there was." That line makes me think it's Dean - not that Sam wouldn't protect his brother, but that just seems Dean-y. *shrugs*...well, it does to me. Oh, and if that is Sam on the cliff, I can imagine full well the horror on his face when the bird turns to his brother and attacks. What the hell is that thing, anyway? Antlers on its head? Red eyes, green scales, obsidian claws? A dragon? Or something resembling one - legends had to start somewhere, right? Oh, this is going to be messy, isn't it? Need more coffee... *click* Jules
Reviewer: mizpah (Signed) · Date: 06/09/09 12:40 AM · On: feels like home
So it's a memory, then. Hmm - a hunt gone wrong. But whoever was on the cliff survived - unless this is a skewed memory and the injured brother was the one on the cliff... Too many questions, not enough coffee. Solution - more coffee, and click Next button. *click* Jules

I've been lurking....sorry - when things get pressured, I go to ground and lurk. Bad habit, turning myself into a hermit. But spring is coming to Australia, so I thought I'd better come out of hibernation. Sort of like a bear. With PMS....... Anyway - so, I'm guessing that it could be Dean. But it could just as easily be Sam. I'm going with Dean but prepared to be wrong. Intriguing, though - is it a dream, a memory? Or if it's Sam, is it a vision? Reading on... And happy birthday to Sue. I'm sure she would have loved her present. Jules

WOOT! Dean's all better, the monster defeated, all is well! A Piasa bird is a new one for me- I kept hoping I'd figure it out, but never did. VERY fun. Great story.

I really liked this last chapter and the story as a whole. I thought it was well written and descriptive. I hope to read more from you in the future.
Reviewer: moira4eku (Signed) · Date: 03/09/09 11:51 AM · On: epilogue
Well, I just discovered this fic, and I must say, I loved every moment of it. I too wasn't sure who the sick and injured Winchester was, but there were several pretty good clues that pointed toward Dean. The personality and thoughts were so Dean! Loved that the dream was actually reality, too. Wasn't sure about that until the end. Poor Sammy, he had his hands full with a sick and disoriented Dean. Looking forward to your next story.

Thank you for sharing this story, it has had me gripped the whole way through, and its great that Dean is back to his snarky self, love him like that. Jacq x
