I know this one won an award but I didn't actually enjoy it as much as others of yours I've read and I was trying to put my finger on why. I think the story itself was a good one but would have been more effective if it had been half as long - I felt it was too drawn out, piling on the agony so that in the end it lost its impact. I haven't read other reviews and this was probably just me!

This was a lovely story. I really enjoyed it. You really hit me hard with your emotional hammer! I felt kind of like a yo-yo, with all the ups and downs. I really like your writing and look forward to reading more of your work. --c
Author's Response: Thank you so m uch! I love this story and I am so pleased at the way it came out. I planned for three hapters, but the story just unfolded in such a wonderful way!

Wow......Simply awesome!!!!!! no words to express......I practically could feel the air from the beach...thats called magic in the words......Good work, keep it up!!!

Oh, that was just beautiful, made me cry!! Your "You've used up your quota" paragraph, set me off, and then when they finally get to the beach just finished me off....lol I loved your portrayal of Sam struggling up through the layers of consciousness and how important his contact with Dean was to his recovery. I was delighted that they decided to take some time off to go to the beach after their phone call from Bobby. I guess all they need to do now is save Dean from his impending doom and all will be well, baring a few Demons here and there. Thank you for this roller-coaster ride over the past ten chapters. You sure do know how to wring out the torment. Great story. Thanks J
Author's Response: Thank you so much for all your wonderful reviews! And yep, all they need to do is save Dean from his fate. I think the contact between the two of them is so important. If there are together they will be ok! Thank you again!

What a heart-breaking promise to have had to make, another wonderful flashback!! It looks like there might just be some light at the end of the tunnel now. J
Author's Response: Oh thank you so much! This flashback kind of caught me by surprise. I knew there was more to the story, just wasn't sure what until this popped up! I'm glad you liked it! :)

oh, MM, what a sweet ending......this was a very angst-filled but nice tale......enjoyed your character, Galen, very much
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I love Galen. He started as just a small character and kind of grew on his own from there. I hope to bring him back in another story very soon!

ever faithful brother Dean......what a guardian....
Author's Response: Thank you.

Sister Anee is a smart little cookie......as have been most of the nuns in my life.....Sure she felt Dean in his injured condition was not ready for anymore BAD news
Author's Response: Thank you. Sister Anne is amazing, and I'd like to see her back and hunting with Sam and Dean. She is based on this wonderful nun I met while I was at university. I have no idea how old she was, but she was wonderful and wise and as Irish as they come.
Reviewer: supernaturaljunkiejude (Signed) · Date: 25/11/07 04:59 PM · On: Chapter 7
they are so joined in life.....Dean w/o Sam or Sam w/o Dean is really never an option.....two halves of a whole
Author's Response: Thank you. They are so joined in life there isn't really one without the other. The thought of Sam without Dean or vice versa is unthinkable.
Reviewer: supernaturaljunkiejude (Signed) · Date: 25/11/07 04:45 PM · On: Chapter 6
okay....at this point I'm thoroughly confused.....on to the next chapter i guess
Reviewer: supernaturaljunkiejude (Signed) · Date: 25/11/07 04:20 PM · On: Chapter 5
Does Sm really hear words or is he just aware of Dean's huge presence
Author's Response: I think Sam is actually hearing Dean. Thank you for the review :)

What a perfect ending!!
So sad that this fic had to come to an end, I've enjoyed it so much, but you created just the tone for the ending. You truly are a great writer sophie
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I think the most lovely compliment that can be paid to a writer is when someone doesn't want the story to end! It warms my heart every time! Thank you again

Well, didn't she just put the 'vengeful' in 'vengeful spirit' - taking Sam off the meds! Sam the whole time in a coma but feeling every bit of physical pain plus hearing Dean so tortured and miserable. Very cruel. And didn't she put up a fight! I absolutely loved the constrasts in this ch - the noise and calamity of things being thrown, hitting walls, the door being bashed in, people in a flurry to Dean's "His world was silent, his world was dead, There was no sound in it...There was no movement in it" - brilliant writing, a perfect match to your flashback where the sun was a black cancer... Sister Anne to the resuce. The whole "lying nun' was a bit funny, but in a nice way. Your standout scene of this ch was Dean realising that Sam was still alive. Loved how it turned him into instant hunter. The parallel of Dean having to hunt again to save Sam tied the past and present, your story just sliding into place so well. Loving your work!
Author's Response: Thank you so much. Your reviews leave me a little speechless! I love Sister Anne. I know I've said it before, but I would love to bring her back for another story. The thought of Dean hunting with a nun makes me smile! Thank you again!
Reviewer: Cookie6 (Signed) · Date: 24/11/07 07:52 PM · On: Chapter 7
That was the mother of all cliffies! I stopped breathing with Sam at the end! It was hard enough seeing Dean flung across the room, but having Lacey rip the life maintaining equipment off Sam and hurl him across the room too! Holy freakin' moly! Dean's reaction to 'hearing' Sam was dramatic and I felt his shock. Your flashback, as usual, was awesome. Not sure how I feel about John not being capable of making strong decisions, not fighting for Sam, but I get the whole lost, grieivng, shutting off thing. It did spotlight Dean as a lone fighter and an alone brother and son. In fact it screamed it out. Your opening paragraph of the flashback was simply stunning - you portrayed Dean's connection to his brother with precision. And you connected the past and present brilliantly with "without you, Sam, my life will be over. Even if the deal is off, even if i live fifty more years, I am dead today" outstanding! and then you shattered us with the finale "I am dead today" - just shattering! Your scene of 15 yr old Sammy waking us was beautiful. It felt so private, just between the boys...Great work. Loved the whole chapter, angst!dean done so well.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I really struggled with John in this story. I'm sure he can make strong decisions and he is a strong and wonderful man, but sometimes he seems to slip a little with his boys. I love exploring John and sometimes he just takes off and acts on his own. I really want to write more with John in it. He is such a complex character, I want to get to know him better. Thank you again for your lovely review!

Yeah! Sister Anne to the rescue! I'm so pleased Lacey has now really joined the dearly departed....she was one super-baddie, so very cruel and vindictive. I loved your description of the graveyard, particularly "There were ancient trees, huge twisted trunks, black in the misty morning, reaching gnarled fingers over the gravestones." Such atmospheric scene setting, excellent stuff. At last Dean gets to kick some supernatural ass. I loved the way you've portrayed his confusion in the hospital, where none of the words have made sense to him, a real sense of his desperation and total collapse at the thought of Sammy gone. Poor Sam , at least now he'll be able to feel the benefits of the pain meds. Thanks for the fast update, chapter 7 was a real killer cliffie. Great story, Thanks J.
Author's Response: Thank you! I thought after chapter seven a fast update was needed. I love Sister Anne, I'd kind of like to see her back someday. Nuns and Dean are just a happy idea anyway! And she's just great! Thank you again!

Can't wait to know what happens next!!! It has been great the whole fic. amazing job sophie
Author's Response: Thank you so much! :D
Reviewer: Janger (Signed) · Date: 23/11/07 06:33 PM · On: Chapter 7
Just when I'm thinking there's light at the end of the tunnel - now that Dean realises that he has to go and get rid of Lacey - you go and disconnect Sam and throw him across the room..... How on earth are they going to get out of this one?? At the moment I'm just clutching at your "I don't do Death Fics", please mend Sammy and let Dean go kick some ghostly butt!!....lol Seriously awesome update - totally cruel cliffie - Please update soon!! Thanks J.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! And never worry I don't do death fics.So sorry about the cliffie. I was recently possessed by a cliffie demon and all my Latin is to no avail!
Reviewer: Winchester07 (Signed) · Date: 23/11/07 05:52 PM · On: Chapter 7

Please, Dean, please let me go....Oh this is so sad, man, you're killing me here! The past memory was amazing, portraying how John finally broke down was just so sad! Great job, lol even if I am slightly depressed after reading this! -Bex
Author's Response: Thank you so much! Hopefully you won't be too depressed when it is all over and done!
Reviewer: Janger (Signed) · Date: 20/11/07 05:04 PM · On: Chapter 6
Lacey's mean, really mean, she is definitely one ghost with some real anger management issues!! You are giving them such a rough ride, both in the past and the present....(Love it). I thought Sam would be fine once the bear-man was dead. The fight in the canyon and the mad dash back to the hospital was so exciting. Thank you for the very speedy updates, eagerly awaiting the next one. Thanks Jane
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I am so glad you are enjoying this story!
