I'm sorry I'm so late with my review for the epilogue but actually I'm glad I read it after watching Swan Song. This here is how I want it to end for Sam and Dean, the brothers side by side, no matter what and Dean not for one moment giving up on his brother. "You're my brother. You're my family." YES, perfect!!! Thank you so much for another amazing ride!
Author's Response: That's all right, Sabine. Take your time, hun. The finale really rocked quite a few of us - certainly wasn't the sort of ending I wanted for either of the boys. Not that I wouldn't want them to have a chance at a normal life and be happy, because I do, but I honestly thought that Sam would have had a better end, after all their struggles and fight to do the right thing. Oh, well, there's always season 6... Thanks hun, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Jules

What can I say?? I'm completely speechless like always. Dramatic epilogue, you've written everything I wanted to read. First of all, the way Gabe sent them back and Dean toppled with his brother after losing his balance, was hilarious. hehe, that's why I that that trickster/demi god/loki/archangel. And, oh, the yummy part...Dean and bobby were taking care of our Sammy...aww... how sweet. Glad Sam'd heard the real words or else he'd have done something wrong again. I mean, he thought Dean was talking about him, but then again...silly Sammy! Don't you get that? If Dean really thinks that about you, he wouldn't have rescued you the way he did. And the revealing about the manipulated phone call... awesome. And nightmares and Sam's attempt to leave and Dean finding him at his typical place, brother talking, hugging...ahhh...what more a spn girl would want! Marvelous chapter, you do deserve another award regarding this one. You're an awesome writer. And hey, can you send the 'Leprechaun' story of yours in word document? I want to print this one out too. Love this story, wish if I could fav it once again. Love you, Ritu.
Author's Response: Thanks, hun. Ah, yes, you got your little Sammy fix there - lol. And yes, good thing that Sam heard most of the conversation and realised it wasn't him that Dean was railing against, but the angels. And yep, the tampered message got dealt with. Thank you - I'm really pleased that you loved the story so much. Leipreachan should be in your in-box by now. Jules

*applause* Hooray for your fiftieth story! It was wonderful, and this ending was really satisfying. They said the things that I really wish the boys had said to one another!
Author's Response: Thank you so much for that, Julie. Yes, I know what you mean - there was so much to say to each other at the end, wasn't there? But I think in the episode, we got all in a look, just before Sam took the plunge into the cage. Thank you for reading - I'm chuffed that you enjoyed it. Jules

That was a wonderful story. Brotherly bond and the love they've for each other, it's their weapon against evil. I enjoyed their conversation, no secrets, anything less but a heart to heart talk, beautifully done here. And where do you found these Enochian words, so cool. Jules, thanks for sharing your talent with us. I'm looking forward to your next story.
Author's Response: Thanks so much, hun. No, no more secrets between them now. They've learned their lesson the hard way. Everything's out in the open now, and the brothers are stronger for it. The Enochian words I found on a website, and when I tried to find the link again so I could credit it on the story, I couldn't find it anywhere. Clicked on something I thought was the correct site, but ended up with a European advertisement for some sort of spanner....*shrugs helplessly*.... Thank you for reading, hun, and I'm really glad you got so much out of the story. Jules

Gabriel's timing is impeccable, like always he knows how to make a big entrance. But I guess that's part what I like so much about him. He is so awesome and this time he is on the side of the good time, rescuing Bobby at the last moment. I like that in your version it is him, who gives Bobby back his mobility. It made me smile that he sent Raphael into the sewers, rather than going himself, sounds just like him. Dean, just gotta love the man, at the mercy of Meg, saved by an angel and all he can say is that he wanted to smoke her himself. I can see, why he thought Raphael was there to take him to Michael. I really loved the way the amulet started to burn him. How it announced God's presence. Wish this would have happened in the show. Too bad they once again ignored it. And in the middle of thinking he wasn't going to make it Dean once again thinks only of Sam, how awesome is that. Now this part is very powerful, as Gabriel and Raphael both show up to protect Castiel and Sam. I really liked Gabriel telling Lucifer that he didn't know that God loved man more than the angels. And God, I think you did a great job with bringing him into the picture as the almighty, all powerful Ruler of the world. It doesn't take anything for him to judge and cast down Lucifer and Zachariah and at the same time keep Sam save. Loved how you had his voice boom over everything. You made him worthy to be feared, yet also worthy to be honored and worshiped, as he never forgot about his children. And then there is Dean again, not sure who won, hoping it were the good guys. And looking for Sam, finding his little brother, I can feel the relief from him that Sam is alive. And Bobby, just as worried, finally finds them. I love the interaction between the brothers, like always, you are just amazing with that. Sam's biggest worry being that Dean will know he didn't say yes. I really liked the "You and me" coming from Dean, signaling that they are together, something Sam needed so desperately to hear. I also liked how you brought in Gabriel telling Dean about the phone call and how Sam needed to find redemption, how he didn't know if Dean still loved him. I think this is very you really got on the same track as the show, even though there Sam had to say yes to find redemption. I do like your version better. The little bit in the end with the rescuers not finding anyone gave me a little giggle. Great job once again. Sorry I'm so behind with my reviews. Hugs, Vonnie
Author's Response: Thanks so much, hun. Yes, Gabriel got there just in the nick of time, sort of like the cavalry coming over the hill in the old westerns. And I know what you mean about the amulet - I really thought it would make its appearance in the finale. But there is always season 6 - perhaps Dean will find it amongst Sam's stuff...? We can only hope. I didn't want to write a big piece on God because seriously - how the heck do you do Him justice? But I wanted that last minute save of His children - not just of the archangels and Cas, but also of Sam and Dean - all brothers, all trying to do the right thing. I was hoping for that same last minute save in the show, but....*reaches for tissues*... Thanks hun - so glad you loved the brotherly interaction. It was really all about brothers - Dean and Sam, Gabriel and Lucifer, Gabe and Cas, etc. Family, both earthly and heavenly. Jules

Oh, Mum! That was absolutely brilliant! The entire fight had me on the edge of my seat, cheering and screaming at the same time. If only the writers could see what you have done here...let's just say, I could see all this playing out in my head as if I was watching in on television the entire time. I'm so glad that all of our heroes are safe and sound! Now, off to the final chapter! Awesome job! Love and hugs, Steph
Author's Response: Aww, thanks hun. I actually quite enjoy fight scenes - heaven knows why, but I do. And yep, all the pieces came together, all the players drawn to the same place for the final battle. Team Free Will wins, and now for the aftermath. Sam's going to need some gentle handling for a while. Do I see a hand waving frantically, volunteering for nursemaid duty? LOL Mum

Jules thankyou for yet another truly amazing story. I just wish the finale had gone like this, I'm a sucker for a happy ending and I don't want to be depressed until september. Your description of Sam's time in hell was horrifying. I'll be having nightmares about those mouths. And finally, thankyou so much for making Dean's amulet glow, It's really bothering me that if Chuck is God then why didn't the amulet glow. Anyway, great 50th story, looking forward to the next 50, but no pressure...really. Deb
Author's Response: Hey, Deb! Yes, I'm with you - I'm such a Pollyanna at heart, and the finale just had me wanting to curl into a tight little ball and rock mindlessly back and forth. I'm not sure how I'd have gone without that little glimpse right at the end of the episode - think I'd have been a basket case by September. And no SN on Channel 10's horizon as yet - the sods. Hope they choke on their ratings. Ah, the mouths - I was trying to envisage something really horrible and creepy, and tie it in with Sam not wanting to be touched, so I came up with the mouths - and a little nod to Stephen King and a short story about an astronaut who'd become infected by an alien entity that manifested itself by eyes in the palms of his hands. And yep, we needed the amulet, not only returned to Dean but to finally indicate God. Oh - do you know Bardicvoice? She's got an awesome meta analysis on the final episode - actually every episode - that theorised about the whole Chuck/God thing. I'll get the link for you and email it to you. Thank you, and thanks for sticking with me for the fifty. I have ideas for at least twenty-five more, and who knows what season 6 will do to inspire the muse. Take care, and thank you so much for your support. Jules

The suspense keeps building every single chapter and I am literally getting closer to falling off of my chair! You're killing me here, Mum! Dean found the amulet! YAY! That made me so happy and Bobby's talk to him just had me squealing so loudly...I just love me some Bobby! And Gabriel...YAY! But my poor Sam...that boy just can't catch a break (no pun intended), can he? Off to the next chapter! Love and hugs, Steph
Author's Response: You'd better fit your chair with seatbelts, hun, because I think you're going to hit the floor with the next chapter - lol. Yes, Dean found the amulet. Jane and I really wanted the amulet returned to Dean, because we - along with over half the fandom - felt sure that Sam would have picked it up and kept it. We were toying with the idea of having Sam give it back to Dean personally, but it seemed to fit the flow of the story better for Dean to find it accidentally and find out that even though it looked like he'd given up on his brother, that Sam hadn't given up on him. And that was enough to snap Dean back into the big brother and hunter that he really is. So glad you liked Bobby and his tough love talk, and Gabe getting in on things. Ah, Sammy - alas, things are looking quite dark for our favourite psychic. hugs Mum

I hate him so friggin' much that words cannot comprehend. Cas's plan better work, or so help me I will come after the nerd angel myself! Zach's bringing Sam to Lucy...*screams and bites nails* Off to the next chapter! Love and hugs, Steph
Author's Response: Um....no....*shuffles feet and looks guilty*... Yep, Zachariah's going to take spite to a new level, and try to secure himself some insurance on the side as well. As for Cas' plan - well, desperate times call for desperate measures, and these are pretty desperate times. Rest assured, the little nerdy dude with wings is going to do everything he can to get Sam back before it's too late.

Okay, I don't want you to think I'm a bad person for not reading this sooner. I just couldn't read it until the season finale ended (I'm weird, I know). That being said, this is just what I needed after the craptastic afternoon I have had. I am being completely honest when I say I have been looking all over for a story like this. I've always wondered why Zach never used Sam to get to Dean and if Zach would ever give Sam over to Lucifer. And here you are, writing that very story! Great first chapter...I am so worried for Sam and I honestly hate Zach even more than I did on the show. I am so glad I don't have to wait until the next update! Off to the next chapter! Love and hugs, Steph
Author's Response: Would never think that, sweet, so banish that thought, salt and burn it. Ah - you have been looking? Well, I'm thrilled that this fit the bill for you. Yes, I wondered too, about Zachariah getting his hands on Sam to force Dean's hand, and until the 100th episode, I was actually worried it would happen. Yes, I'm with you - Zachariah is a dick - the only entity that I think is a bigger dick than him is Alistair...and Michael... hugs Jules

Great ending to a fabulous story sis, just wish you had written the season finale and it had gone down this way but guess it was inevitable that in Swan Song Sam felt that was what he had to do to make things right. Loved this epilogue, you rounded the story off perfectly and tied up any possible loose ends - just loved Gabriel and Raphael posing as Hank and another hunter, putting other hunters minds at rest about Sam - and unicorn sh*t, priceless! Spot on that Sam would have nightmares and still not be sure that what he was seeing was real and not manipulated by Lucifer, but Dean was right, Sam realised it was Dean and he was real and home and safe. Understandable though that Dean panicked on waking, finding that both Sam and his pistol were missing. Loved the talk between them both, Dean reiterating how God came through for them and Sam telling Dean how he felt he had failed in everything he had tried to achieve in his life. And great that Dean convinced Sam that his place was with him, they needed to stay together and anything else was not an option. A fantastic story, well written and entertaining and awesome idea from Jane. Congratulations on completing your 50th fic. Sarah
Author's Response: Thanks, sis, and thanks for all your hard work on this one. I know I kept you to a pretty tight schedule with this. Yes, I agree - I've begun to feel that perhaps Sam felt it was the only way for him to fully redeem himself and atone for what he had done. Even though I wanted a better end for Sammy, I can understand that the burden he carried must have been slowly crushing him, and pushing him to find a solution - any solution - that would save the world and put Lucifer back in his box, no matter what the cost. Because let's face it - Winchesters have never counted the cost, have they? Especially when it's personal. They just dived in and did what had to be done. Oh, so glad you liked the unicorn poo - lol. I had to have that bit sort of tidied up - I've always hated the fact that Sam's been hunted. And I think after a few days in company of cruel angels and even crueller fallen angels, Sam's head would have been a pretty bad place to be in. Glad you loved their chick-flick moment at the end. hugs Jules
Author's Response: ....oh, and - you are sticking with me for the next fifty, aren't you? lol

Congrats on a lovely story for your 50th, Jules. I love the scene with Gabriel and Raphael trying to make things safe for Sam....that was funny and touching at the same time. I am still reeling from the finale. I think we all would love to see the brothers back together at the end, like in your story but the more I think about it, the more the ending they gave makes sense to me. I'm sure I won't be a popular person for saying that but eh, I never was one to win popularity contests. :) But that's all beside the point. This is a lovely story with some wonderful brother moments and I love how you tied up so many of the little issues that have been nagging at us. And if none of this makes sense I'll blame it on the fact that I'm at work and being a sneak while doing this!
Author's Response: Thanks, Sonya. Hmm, I owe you an email this week - must remember to look at that favourites stuff and get back to you. Oh, I'm so glad you loved the Gabriel as Hank scene. I really hate the whole 'Sam being hunted' scenario, and wanted to have that laid to rest as neatly as possible. And what better way than to have the angels step in and discredit the hunters spreading the rumours? I'm still reeling from the finale as well. And yes, I can see why Sam would have gone down that road - how hard would it have been for him to live with what he had done, even though he didn't deliberately set about ending the world. But aw, hell, I so wanted a better end for him. Perhaps season 6....? I'd love for the brothers to actually get a chance at a life away from hunting, but to have one in hell and the other broken....that was so hard to take in. Thanks hun. I like to have as much as I possibly can tied up neatly. And that phone message, the amulet, and Cas letting Sam out have been bugging me ever since the end of season 4 - well, the amulet hasn't, but the other two things have. And they never brought it up! Damn them! *shakes fist*..... Oh, well, more for we fanfic writers to play with. And don't worry - you made perfect sense. Jules

Author's Response: Thanks so much, Maureen. Yes, I wanted my happy ending for the boys - the season finale shocked me so much, I'm glad I finished this before I saw it, otherwise my muse might have fled screaming up the street..... So thrilled that you loved the story. I haven't done too many that have been someone else's idea, so it's a relief to know that it came off the way we wanted it to.

Hey Jules I have so much enjoyed reading this story. Have you caught up with the episodes yet? I would have been happy to see yours/Jane's version of events as the ending, it worked as well as Mr Kripke's has (I have just seen the finale!!!! Still numb...) You always have just the right amount of humour and action, angst and healing. So congrats on the 50th story, and thank you for sharing it with us. Now I just need to find all those songs on the playlist *heads over to ITunes...* Jacq xx
Author's Response: Hi, Jacq, Yep, I'm still numb, too. I actually couldn't get to sleep the night I watched 5.22 - I just laid in bed staring at the wall in shock. No tv series has ever effected me like that in my entire life. Thank you so much for that. I always try to strike a good balance between the heavy stuff and the light.

Well, almost although he'l now have to go through a world of pain, nightmares and other injury related sickness. *eeps* can't wait for those yummy moments...ahem, sorry. And and...I love Gabe, he's one helluva angel cum trickster. I used to like him... anyways. Glad he's temporarily healed my Sammy...that poor thing, aww *hugs him tight and kisses his booboos* How, time for some nursemaid Dean, Bobby fussing over our sweetest patient.

Author's Response: Hi, hun, Me, awesome? Nah, I'm just me. And yep, almost over. But at least they're nice long chapters - lol. Yes, your Sammy's saved. And you're right, the nightmares won't be fun. Sam's going to have some trying times ahead. You might need to approach him very carefully before you hug him and kiss his ouchies. Just, you know....saying....

What a chapter, I was at the edge of my seat while reading it, Gabriel and Raphael teaming up, God's appearance, Castiel alive, I'm so relieved, Bobby walking, how great and the best news, Lucifer's back in the pit with Zach to share his prison. I'm glad that Gabriel healed Sam, he was seriously wounded. He's going to be alright physically but emotionally I'm not so sure. It won't be easy but Dean is going to help him going through this. Jules, hope you'd a great time at the Con.
Author's Response: Thanks, Lise, Yes, it was all happening there for a while, wasn't it? But Lucifer's been locked in his room by his Daddy, and he won't be getting out any time soon. Oh, yes, Bobby had to be walking. I couldn't leave Bobby in the wheelchair - had to undo the damage the angels had done, because I firmly believe that Zachariah left Bobby like that. He told Dean in the confrontation in John's storage facility that he'd make sure Bobby never walked again if Dean didn't say yes. Gabe healed Sam, well at least physically. The rest is up to him, and his big brother. Emotionally, things might get interesting..... Thanks, hun - we had an awesome time. Jules

And of course, Misha was wonderful as always. If you've never been to a Con - SELL SOMETHING AND GO! Seriously, you'll have a ball, and you'll regret it if you don't get to one before it's all over.

Beautiful stuff in there. And of course I'm glad Dean knows about the phone message. I'm sure you're going to finish up with that in the epilogue. :) Have fun at the con! Can't wait for the full report.
Author's Response: Hey, Sonya, Oh, gosh, the finale is going to rip us to shreds - worse than the season 3 finale. One day to go, and I'm so nervous.... I wish it would have ended this way, too, without Sam having to go on a suicide run. Oh, my gosh....*flails*.... Yep, the phone message is out in the open. Only one more person to tell - and that's Sammy. Wonder how he'll take it... Thanks hun, we had a great time. Came home tired but extremely happy.

It's not like God would have a struggle....*shrugs and flaps arms*.... And yep, the angels stepped in and helped sort out their family squabbles. Oh, I was sad, too, when they spiflicated Gabriel.

Awesome chapter sis! Just loved how Gabriel and Raphael came to the rescue of Team Free Will and annihilated the demons. And go Gabriel, fixing Bobby! Absolutely adored how it was God who sent Lucifer back and sent Zachariah with him, glad he made an appearance when it really counted rather than sitting on the fence and doing nothing. And loved too how God told Gabriel to go back and heal Sam and get them out of ground zero before the emergency services turned up asking awkward questions. Perfect that Gabriel finally told Dean about his doctored voicemail message and that Sam hadn't been sure of anything since he had heard it but kept going trying to earn his forgiveness as he loved Dean more than life. Not surprised Dean felt ill realising that Sam was worried his big brother had given up on him and would hunt him down like the monsters they hunt. And so relieved Cas is going to be okay too, brave angel going up against Lucifer! So looking forward to the epilogue next week as those boys definitely need to talk! Have an awesome time at the Con with Jim and Misha, don't do anything I wouldn't do! Sarah
Author's Response: Thanks, sis. I needed Bobby fixed. I hated that Zachariah let Bobby stay crippled. I wondered whether it was to try to drive a wedge between Bobby and the boys. And I needed for that message tampering to come out. I'm not satisfied with the understanding that the boys talked about it "off-camera". I wanted to see that resolution, because that played an important part in Sam's decision in the season 4 finale. And it stripped him of any lingering hope of his survival. So I had to have that played out. Thanks, sis - both Jim and Misha were wonderful. Sam Ferris was awesome, and Julie McNiven and Rob Benedict were so sweet. We had a ball. Jules

Jules,
I can't believe that it's coming to an end :( (but just in time for the show's season finale)
I especially LOVE Gabe telling Dean that Sam just loves him and wants to put things right because show does not do a good enough job of showing that in my opinion! So I'm "cuddling" that paragraph to death ;)
Can't wait to find out what happens in chapter 6! (and another YAY for having another chapter to look forward to!)
Pink
Author's Response: Yes, what a coincidence, actually, that this ends the same week as the finale. I really can't compare this, though. I think the finale is going to rip our hearts out......I've seen two sneak peeks already, and I'm stocking up on tissues... Thanks, hun - I really wanted to reinforce that for Dean, and what better way than via Gabriel, who had just gotten a peek inside Sam's head when he healed him. I've never believed that Sam stopped loving his brother, because that's just not possible. And all Sam's tried to do in season five is make amends for how badly he screwed up. What a burden to know that you were misled to the extent of letting the devil loose on the world. How can one keep going with that hanging over one's head? I've really felt for Sam this last season. So his battle to set things right, and his continuing love for his brother, had to be acknowledged, in my opinion. And yep, one more chapter to go. There was just way too much to cover - lol. Thanks, hun. Jules

That chapter was absolutely fantastic, it was great the way you dealt with Lucifer and I especially liked it that Zachariah was cast down too and joined Lucifer in Hell. Was a bit worried about Sam's injuries but now his wounds are at least dealt with Dean can go about fixing Sam's emotional state. Will Sam believe his brother when he tell him about the message. Did Dean save it on his phone so Sam an hear it More soon please, Can't wait.
Author's Response: Oh, thank you, Maureen. I was a bit worried about the God scene, but I truly felt uncomfortable spending a lot of time on it. Just because it's God, and...well....I'd never do Him justice. Not in a million years. And I wanted Zachariah cast down, the slimy SOB. I hated him with a passion. To me, he was right down there with Alastair - heaven's version of hell's grand inquisitor. Yep, Sam's physical wounds have healed, but he's still got a long way to go. Thanks so much for reading.

I can spoiler you!! *stares at you* I can SPOILER you??? cooool Okay, first thing first, this chapter is totally--a knock out chappy. I mean, Lucifer's torturing Sammy...eep...that damn Devil. But, my stubborn boy.. he will never say 'yes' to that hell piece of crap (prince my ahem). But but...Meg, I hate that b**** with all my heart and maan, she loves to torture Sam. Glad Dean's at least there but I'm also worried for him. Sam's hurt too bad, right!! Will he...umm... survive! And you sure, I can spoiler you??? Then tell me, are you the director of the show? I mean I saw the finale's promo pictures, and whoa!! It's like I'm seeing the whole finale through your story. Okay, here's the deal. After you finish this story, you will sit in front of me and tell me what's gonna happen in season 6, alright! And good news, finally I've printed one of your greatest stories out and the name's "That's what the big brothers are for". Now 'm the proud owner of that awesome book and oh, along with 'The L word'. Can you see my happy dents? Coz I'm grinning ear to ear. Only 2 days to go and I'm bored. Can't you post it a lil early? Naw... I know you won't...anyways... You rock....love you. Ritu.
Author's Response: Well, actually.....I am posting early.....*grins*......
Author's Response: Didn't have time to respond properly, but I did want to let you know that you got one wish - I posted early last week - lol. Thank you, and yes, you can spoiler me now. I'm all up to date, and the moment I finish posting the epilogue, I'm going to watch the season 5 finale. I already have my box of tissues handy....might need more than one box...... And no, I'm not the director, or on the writing team. I really am a short, middle-aged, bespectacled bookkeeper from Brisbane, Australia who works for a jeweller. So while I could speculate about what will happen in season 6, I won't be accurate, sadly. Sorry, hun. Ah, you've been busy printing. I have the finished fics in Word format, complete with their pretty story banners at the top of each front page, if you ever want a copy. Just let me know, and I'll email one to you. As for Sam continuing to hold out against the devil...well, we'll see..... Jules

What a tease you are Jules! At least now you can read all those SH emails! I like how Castiel seems to be taking the initiative in this although things aren't looking too good for him right now. And poor Sammy! You've beaten our boy to a pulp but I love how he's still praying. You know I want to see that faith restored! I hate that Dean feels like the one person he could depend on not to lie to him has let him down but I'm glad it's all out in the open. People make mistakes...angels can too. Hopefully Dean can forgive. Not sure what Gabriel is up to but I hope it's something in favor of Team Free Will because they sure could use some help right now!
Author's Response: I did! Almost caught up now. Only a couple of links and stuff to go - mostly pics. I hoovered up all the spoiler ones already - lol. No, things are looking rather gooey for Cas right now. But he stood up to his brother, for the sake of his friends, and that means a lot. And yep, Sam's in a bad way, but you know, I believe that Sam still has hung onto a little faith, because I believe it is an essential part of who Sam is. The beginning of Sam's downfall and his slide towards the darkside was when that faith took a few very hard hits, and crumbled for a while. Just one more secret to reveal, then all the dirty deeds will be out in the open. Then it's just a case of dealing with them....provided our heroes survive the confrontation...... Jules
