Good chapter, loved the conversation between Dean and Caleb. I think I can't have enough of these two. Waiting now for that big ending...

Author's Response:

Definately cant have enough of Dean and Caleb ever ... they are such an awesome pair and brought together not by blood but by a unique frienship. I love it!

Thanks for reading!

Tara, really enjoyed your portrayal of a vulnerable Caleb. He's truly on edge here, driven by fear and goaded by guilt. Love how your knowledge of the Brotherhood just sets this chapter alight. The way you describe Reaves realisation of his disability is perfect, the way you worked in that remark about Black being his favorite colour; brilliant!

Your empathy with Caleb is astounding, loved the small touches that just connect us to his suffering - the way the dark glasses play a dual role, hiding his injury but also serving as a harsh reminder so he can't hide from himself, or lie to himself. Oh and "Blind as Batshit".... C'mon!!!! My new favorite saying!!!! LOL :)

The way Dean holds him together is just so damn readable - I've been over it twice already. They deep knowing that friendship endows both those boys with is well mapped out here.

And lastly, Father Brown... what a piece of work??? I am going to try real hard to hang on to the very, very edge of my seat where you have left us. But my balance has never been my strong suit - come back soon... oh I know I am a shameless one to talk!!!! LOL.

I am so stoked you liked how I wrote this chapter, Caleb in particular because I honestly had so much fun when I got to write his parts. Not that I found John's part unbearible to write but you know what I mean, right? being a writer yourself hehe

HA!! I love that you love "Blind as batshit" LOL

Okay hold on tight :) I hope to post as soon as I can ... wish all my real life problems away for me :P

Thanks mate. Your  opinion means the world *hugs*

Ok - this start absolutely hit the mark. The Cliffee was/is EVIL - but nicely done!!!

You are as always in fine form with your characterisation of Caleb and the insights you give us ring true to Ridley's original. The way he sets Jim up to play audience to Sammy's magic ricks, the way his instincts are tuned to Dean the way Dean are to Sam and for me the added bonus in this story of seeing the teacher student dynamic of John and Caleb. You fill this in convincingly I think - at 25 Caleb is on the border of still being in awe of his Mentor but on the verge of striking out on his own. You put it brilliantly;

"The older man might frustrate the hell out of him, make him madder than almost anyone else did but John was still his mentor, his family. There was still enough awe there for the child in Caleb to believe John had the ability to fix anything."

Spot on and very eloquently put.

 

The relationship between Caleb and John on what promises to be a rough ride (at your hands:) )is something I am looking forward to. You have a wonderful way of giving depth to the character of John with gestures rather than words - it reads very well.

You have ALWAYS rocked in your portrayal of the close relationship between Deuce and Damien - it is the greatest part of your Brotherhood work, it's so easy lowing and smooth that I often find myself wishing Caleb into being in the cannon!!!LOL

So safe to say you are off to a stonking start - in Brit that is the same as AWESOME -hee hee. I love the comparison Damien makes with Dean and Nothing Else Matters - apt, that is his level of devotion - and Caleb's too. Can't wait to see where you are taking us ..... One way ticket please?!!!

Very worth the wait, Thanks for the read Abi

Author's Response:

Ohh a nice meaty review. I am being spoiled, hehe

I thought you might appreciate the cliffie *looks innocently* I have a bad habit of writing cliffies. That is your warning, right there ;)

You know how much I love Caleb so to hear that I am getting him right? Is a huge weight off my mind. There are so many little aspects about him that I adore lol

I'm glad that you got where I have Caleb at in his relationship with John. Even now i think he still holds a little reverance for the man but its tempered much by the realisation that John is human and makes many mistakes. I LOVE focusing on the John and Caleb relationship ... but then I love the Mac and Caleb relationship too.

Deuce and Damien banter is some of my very favourite things to write :) So thanks.

And dude, you aint the only one that wants Caleb canon lol

A stonking start? I love it! :D

*hands you your ticket* you might want to purchase insurance. The guys are in for a rocky ride :P

Thanks, Mate
