I'm right with you on the saltgun thing, and I've had to actually change a couple of fics around myself when I've slipped into the habit of including salt rounds in their arsenal before Sam left Stanford. So yes, that episode told me loud and clear that the salt-packed shotgun shells were something quite new - not the salt itself, because Sam knew in the pilot that John's ring of salt and cat's eye shells was keeping something big and bad out of the motel room, but its use as ammo.

And I was right - Sammy was in the back seat. 

So it was the doll. Huh - how creepy - lol. I'm glad Gabriel caught up with the boys, and finally got some resolution to what had happened to her. Telling her story to two men who wholeheartedly believed seemed to take her a huge step closer to healing. 

I wondered though, when she stormed from the motel room, what she was going to do. Didn't even occur to me that she would give the boys all her research - but it was a good thing. 

And Dean finally waved back. That was a very sweet ending.

Well done, too, Gabriel's little spikes of jealousy over the brothers' closeness and silent communication. Especially since she's all alone in the world - no family, and obviously no friends. Well, up till then. I'm sure that's going to change. And she has two friends now, I'm sure.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I really enjoyed it. First person fics, especially told from an outsider's point of view, can give us a really great insight into the boys and what they do.

Really intriguing start with the story being told in first person and by one of the victims.

Absolutely adored that line about the Chevy being "a solid steel altar to pure testosterone" - ROFL. My late uncle would have agreed with you - he owned an Impala or two in his lifetime. 

I'm thinking that the boy who didn't wave back was Dean? And that she didn't see Sam in the back seat because he was so little at the time? 

Reading on to see, not only if my guess is correct, but if she catches up with the boys.

Yet again, I am really impressed with your writing.  I love how you've captured another character and perspective so completely.  The way the Winchesters are tangential, but also completely integral to the story is really well done.  You've balanced it perfectly.



Author's Response:

Wow!  Thank you for such wonderful comments.  I have to admit, Gabriel is one my favorite OCs I've ever created and that includes original works in their entirety.  Hearing you liked her as well, along with the interaction with the boys, has me grinning from ear to little ear.

Thanks for reading!

I liked the story a lot.  Whenever someone does a glimpse of the Winchesters from another perspective to make it feel like people do remember and appreciate, or that other people notice them in some way.  I just like it.  You did a great job.

Author's Response:

Thank you very much.  I'm also a fan of seeing Dean and Sam from a different perspective.  I'm glad you liked mine.

Thanks for reading!
