LOL wow. You're great. I'm from Iowa and wether you meant to or not you just described a little piece of home for me :D Wonderful story, you're doing great and your right. Had to laugh at your bio but you're dead on there as well LOL
Author's Response: Hi Ryla, Love your name! I was very surprised and thrilled to get your review! I'm glad you picked up on the mid-west vibe I was going for. That means I did it justice. My story actually takes place in a little town in Iowa where I live. Hee! You'll see lots of references to real places in the state if you read more of this series. As for the bio...I don't even remember what I wrote but I'm glad it entertained you. I'll have to go back and read it. Thanks again for the nice review. Hugs, Shannon

awwwww this chapter was bitter sweet and I liked it!!! "Gone! Panic flooded her as tears spilled from her eyes. If she ran maybe she could catch them. Maybe she could go with them. Take care of them. She didn’t want to be without him. How could she go back to breathing the air without his scent? How could she walk through this dull, heavy atmosphere?" I know this feeling, I can relate to what she's feeling and it hurts sooo bad and then you wrote that Sam and Jess line and awwww, god my heart just....so sad! Sam will never get Jess back, but Dean has a shot with Asher! just so sad! I love your writing style even more now!!! love it!!! okay, I need to go to sleep now and like stop crying!!! :) S.
Author's Response: So thrilled that you enjoyed this! I was very nervous. I think we've all had to let someone go and those killer pinpricks to the heart are hard to bare. Sam will never get over losing Jess. He was going to marry her, after all. As much as he's hurting over his loss, he wants that fulfillment for his brother. He wants someone to make him feel like he's the only person in the world. Sweet dreams of Sam! You had a busy day.

It was Dean who had held the basin while she had been sick. The realization came to her, making her inwardly cringe. Well, wouldn’t that just amp up her sexual appeal? Nothing turned a guy on more than holding the pan a girl was puking her guts into. She groaned and let her head sink further into the pillow. ROFL...no comment!
Author's Response: Been there, done that. Not even a mint saves your dignity. Thanks, Spela!

I sooo love Sam with that baby!!!! just the cutest thing! And I'm glad that Asher's brother didn't attack Dean or something, because I think that Dean couldn't have handled that very well atm.....so yeah I'm glad for that and I'm soooo in awe of your Sam....he like took the situation in his own hands and explained everything to Asher's brother and just...awesome....
Author's Response: Yep, well Sam Winchester is awesome! Why wouldn't he be good with a baby? Well, if Shane would have been angry at Dean at least they're in a hospital where he could receive immediate medical attention. Hee! Thanks again for reading, Spela!

You know what would be cool!? If she died! :P no, seriously.....I'm liking this story, and you know how not fine I am with the idea of a girl with Sam and Dean...:) so...yeah...I'm really liking this story and I'm glad that Dean and Sam rescued Asher and now I need to read the next chapter so...*runs off*
Author's Response: Died?! You really do hate anyone coming between Sam and Dean. Well, what if Jess would have lived? Hmmmm? Even if you don't like Dean having a significant relationship, hopefully the story will be entertaining!

As older siblings they shared a unique connection. They both had assumed the roles of nurturer, protector, healer for their respective families. They had to pave the way, clear the path for their siblings, make their lives easier in whatever way they could. It was their charge to attend to the needs and desires of the younger. Not a responsibility, but a birthright. And as their eyes met over the shrieking baby, over the unconscious young man, they shared an unspoken understanding, divided their inheritance between them. this made me cry! because I don't have that...there is no one to do that for me! :( I have to do everything by myself and this just....this paragraph just made me really sad, :( but you wrote it beautifuly!!! and what did you do to Dean!? you're mean! and I love how Asher decided to help Sam....but I think that if her sis wouldn't be in Dean's arms, she would've opted for her sis and I wonder what that would do to her relationship with Dean and aren't I mean!? LOL off to the next chapter!
Author's Response: The role of only child is a lonely life. My older daughter had to trudge that road for 13 years before Ari came along. I completely understand why Dean feels responsible for his family, especially Sam. I'm the oldest in my family so we have that kinship. Fortunately, Asher didn't have to choose between Sam and Allie. But remember, Allie is the one who will be sacrificed. Sam just has a bump on his noggin. Thanks for playing devil's advocate!

AWWWWWWW SAM WITH THE BABY WAS JUST THE CUTEST THING EVER!!!!! *goes to read that paragraph again* AWWWWWW, JUST ADORABLE!!!! And Dean...the hero! I love how you wrote that he couldn't not touch Asher....so cute! and now we know how they met!
Reviewer: soncnica (Signed) · Date: 14/07/09 01:10 PM · On: Chapter 6: Mother and Child
"Not quite a shiver, more like an electrical current of sunny warmth. " whoah love that! And she caved in!? hmmm, not for long, huh!? I bet she's gonna be in trouble soon. :) they are so in love, they can't hide it anymore! cute...... I just hope this won't turn Sam into coffee boy (No Exit ring a bell?!) :))) I really love your writing style!!!
Reviewer: soncnica (Signed) · Date: 14/07/09 01:00 PM · On: Chapter 5: A Second Chance
hmm well then....lol....they talked....I'm curious about what will come out of this... and she used Sam...that was dirty! and Dean trusts her with Sam's life too!? :O he is sooo in love, he can't even see the sky anymore! :)
Author's Response: Stay tuned and find out what comes of it. Yeah, dirty trick using Sam. But she's playing for keeps. If you lost him once what lengths would you go to so he never left again? Come on, it's a Winchester! But he sees in her the same role of family protector that he is. It's a bond that first-born carry. Yep, totally in love. No sky. Just her dark brown eyes. Thanks for your fun comments!
Reviewer: soncnica (Signed) · Date: 14/07/09 12:52 PM · On: Chapter 4: Confession
I feel for Dean....I mean really...what could he gave her!? everything you said and nothing more! aw poor boy...and he was in love! *sigh* gosh this nearly made me cry! I love Sam trying to talk Dean into doing something! hahah...
Author's Response: Almost made you cry...yay! That's a fabulous comment! When it comes right down to it all the brothers really want for one another is happiness. And their ideas of happiness for each other are also those things they long for (either openly or secretly). Sam was blessed with happiness in the form of Jessica but lost her. I'm certain he doesn't want Dean to miss out on the joys he could experience with Asher. I think if given the right circumstances, Dean would love fiercely and faithfully. He's shown that in his loyalty to his family. A young dean Winchester would be a whirlwind of conflict and strong emotion.

oooooooh..... "‘You’re way out of my brother’s league.’ " That hurt...! ouch! but yeah Sam would never say them...he would think them, but never say them and pity...pity is worse! and when the baby monitor went off and Asher said that she was being paged...LMAO!!
Author's Response: Hee! I thought that was the perfect time to throw Dean's words back in his face. Sam doesn't have to say anything (and wouldn't) to hurt his brother. But Dean would imagine the worst. Baby monitor...I swear when Ciara was born I didn't get to eat a hot meal for two weeks. It's one of those situations where real life is funnier than fiction. Thanks again for the review! And wow! reading it all at once.
Reviewer: soncnica (Signed) · Date: 14/07/09 12:33 PM · On: Chapter 2: The Family Secret
Sam questioned, stepping forward to rap on the wooden screen door. "It’s a welcome mat, not a trap door." "Says you." ROFL! awh Dean...ahahhaha :)) I loved how you described Sam's 'I feel your pain' look and how he shifts his voice when talking to victims... and Sam is right...how many women has Dean told their family secret!? gosh....when I found out that Cassie knew I was like WTH?! I would slap dean then if I could! :) anyways....I'm not sure if I like Asher yet or not! LOL....but this is only chapter 3 so...:))) I love your writing style...love the descriptions!
Author's Response: The whole scene on the front porch was one I couldn't get out of my head. I'm glad you liked it! I think Dean's hunters instinct can tell a trap when it's near one. Even one as benign as a welcome mat. Sam---very hard to express the nuances of him when he's talking to potential victims. He just shifts into Mr. Sympathetic. So happy I seemed to do it justice! Dean telling Asher their secret: I wasn't sure about this part. To me this is just the most vulnerable he can be because not only does he open himself up for rejection but he's jeopardizing the welfare of his family members as well. And remember, Dean was only nineteen when he spilled his guts. I'm happy that you like my writing! If you don't like Asher, well, writing a woman for Dean is a difficult balance. Sometimes she's soft and trusting, sometimes she's tough and daring. Thanks for giving her a chance.

He could smell him--- soap, leather and the tang of his aftershave. damn now I want to smell Dean for real, I mean we all have the same thoughts about how he would/does smell...:) awww when Dean thinks about Sam's childhood...awww... oh so Dean knew Asher from before!? With more strength than he would have believed necessary he extricated his finger from the baby. She leaned toward him, arms wide, not wanting to let go of her new friend. and Dean is sooo awesome with kids...when you wrote that I just went awww, so adorable!!! I could see the baby's fingers wrapped around Dean's finger!
Author's Response: I'm delighted that you're enjoying this! Yeah...*inhales deeply* Ahhhh! Dean... I think the fragrances surrounding him would be simple, down-to-earth scents. Nothing fancy or fru-fru. As for Sam's childhood: dean did the best he could but I think, like any parent, he has regrets and wishes he would have done more. Yep, Dean and Asher...old time romance. We'll find out about that in a later story (Insanity, not yet written). I hate when people meet for the first time and suddenly have this soul-mate connection. Pure crap! And Dean has enough whirl-wind rondezvous without adding her to his list. A romance is more than sex, it's giving of yourself in all aspects of your person. Yeah, babies. Can you believe how strong those little duffers are? Anyway, I loved how Dean was in DITW with Lucas. That was a wonderful side of the hunter we don't often get to see. Thanks a million for reading and for the review. It's like the al a mode on my pie!
Reviewer: soncnica (Signed) · Date: 14/07/09 12:01 PM · On: Prologue: Blood Ritual
Whoah the images!!! so awesome!!! (I suck at reviewing so bare with me here, lol) Okay, now I want Dean to come already, too!!! LOL oh and Asher has a sis!? hmmm, interesting... anyways...just wanted to let you know that I LOVE THE IMAGES you created here...the blood, the pain, the 'leave me alone you b*tch or else', the cry for Dean to help....., the gore, the meanie...haha.....so cool!
you know what!? I need the second chapter, so I'll stop talking here and off to the 2nd chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks Spela. I've been nervous about your review. I knew you'd be nice but knowing you're not a romance type person had me a little nervous. I had hoped you'd concentrate on the writing. So glad that you liked the imagery. And as for meanie, I always thought women could be more vicious than men. And as for Asher's sister, you'll find out a lot about her family. anyway, thanks for reading (especially since you're so busy with your own stories) and the sweet review.

Oh yea you are too right. I loved it! Glad you snuck some classic rock in there. I want my pie!
Author's Response: Gotta have some good music in there. Kripke needs to keep pumping it into his episodes. I should use more too. Can't have enough, can you? Here ya go---a big slab of pie a la mode for all your hard work! Thanks for reading and reviewing!

HILARIOUS!!! Got to love those mormons!
Author's Response: Yeah, they're good people! They probably took red jell-o to the family or played Pictionary with Asher until she left the hospital. ;)
Reviewer: badassmcgee (Signed) · Date: 28/01/09 02:09 PM · On: Chapter 9: Life Blood
Awesome.....would write more but i got to get to the next chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks for reading! Did you skip class to pull this off or is it 2:00 AM and you're talking to one person and reading this story at the same time? :)

LOOOVVE IT! Allie is so cute! And your words, as usual, were frickin sweet!
Author's Response: I'm glad you like Allie. She's kind of a combination of my two adorable girls. Thanks for the compliments!
Reviewer: badassmcgee (Signed) · Date: 28/01/09 01:01 PM · On: Chapter 6: Mother and Child
I like it but it would have been better if Asher was alittle stronger and less girly. But the attitude was awesome!
Author's Response: I had to make her girly enough to catch Dean's eye. He doesn't strike me as the tom-boy lover. And I wanted to make her feminine enough that people wouldn't expect her to be lethal. She can wear a twirly dress and shoot you between the eyes at the same time. Thanks for the review! Your comments are keeping me on my toes.
Reviewer: badassmcgee (Signed) · Date: 28/01/09 03:13 AM · On: Chapter 5: A Second Chance
Wow INTENSE! LOVE IT! Asher Browning is kick ass!
Author's Response: I couldn't make Asher some simpering little Molly Mormon. She had to be as large in life as Dean but with her own personality. Dean wouldn't be an easy man to forget so Asher had to be memorable as well. I love it when a girl kicks ass! We'll get to see Asher in action in later stories. Thanks for the review Bam!
Reviewer: badassmcgee (Signed) · Date: 28/01/09 02:53 AM · On: Chapter 4: Confession

Wow I love peanut M&Ms so I better get some. I love that you totally get the characters and you stay true to who they are. Snaps to you!
Author's Response: Thanks bam! I'll send you a care package of peanut M&M's just in case you didn't get the virtual ones from the last review response. That was the best compliment anyone could give me. I try hard to keep Kripke's masterpieces genuine.
