Love this story and anxiously awaiting the next chapter.

Author's Response: Apologies!  I'm almost done with the next chapter, but being a perfectionist and not having the time to hone it like I wish, it just seems like I am never satisfied enough to post.  Life's been complicated of late, and I honestly can't believe how long it has taken to get that next chapter up.  Hopefully it will be there soon.  Thanks for the note, B.J.

This is a lovely chapter. You have captured Dean's barely contained terror in Death's presence so well but kept the rage he feels at Death's audacity at the same time. I too love Death. He is complicated and strangely charismatic. I really enjoyed your exploration of him being like Dean once - that his early 'kills' hurt him as they hurt Dean. It makes his coolness now so much more menacing.

Looking forward to the next chapter

Author's Response:

Hey, Bev! Yes, you said it, Death is charismatic, along with terrifying and imposing.  And yet as frightened as Dean is, and who wouldn't be?  He still maintains his cool and spars with Death.

I love that he first took on Death to save the world and now he's come back to save his brother.  Only Dean would be so audacious as to go toe-to-toe with Death, and yet I believe that's why Death respects him.  

Glad you liked the bit about Death being like Dean once.  I found it so fascinating when he just casually told Dean that he would reap God at one point.  Can you imagine?  So where did this creature come from?  What drives him?  What would it feel like to be Death and be basically all lone...that is unless he and God get together to play bridge or something.  

Take care, B.J.

You did an excellent job showing how uncomfortable and frightened Dean is in the presence of Death.  I loved your dialogue between Dean and Death.  I also liked that you gave the reader Death's perspective on his job.  Your word choice throughout this chapter was phenomenal.  I cannot wait to read the subsequent chapters to this well written story.

Author's Response:

Thanks! I love the tension between Dean and Death, that both are strong-willed and powerful and yet, as courageous as Dean is, he knows he is still facing down against death.  I love how that puts him in a precarious situation and then to watch him move past his trepidation and just 'be Dean', fearless and determined.

Take care, B.J.
