1. Three sheets to the wind? by bhoney [Reviews - 12] 



(99 words)
Written for a drabble challenge. This drabbling thing? Much harder then it looks. Brevity is not my strong suit. LOL
For those waiting for updates on my other stories, the last chapter of “Thanksgiving, Winchester Style or, The Importance of Pie” is up now. The second chapter of “The Soul Collector” will go up this week. And now, my first-ever drabble. Woo hoo!

(102 words)
Thanks for the great response to my first drabble! I didn’t have any real plan to write more of this story, but so many of you asked so nicely that I decided to give it a shot. I hope you like this. Please let me know if you want me to continue with more of it.
In the meantime, if you’re looking for a longer “Dean gets taken” story, check out my new multi-chapter fic, “The Soul Collector.” The second chapter will go up this week.

3. Vigil by bhoney [Reviews - 10] 



(97 words)
Wow, this chapter was a really challenging one. Originally, it was three times as long as this and it was wicked hard to get it down. I hope you like where it ended up.
Doing these drabbles has inspired me to try another writing experiment. I hope you’ll take a look, the first chapter’s up now and it's a drabble-and-a-half, LOL. It’s called “Always With You.” I’d love to hear what you think of it!

4. Goodwill worn away by bhoney [Reviews - 8]

For those who were waiting, another chapter of "Always With You” is up now.

9. Time spent waiting by bhoney [Reviews - 7] 



(100 words)
I recently got back from vacation so I’m still catching up on review replies. I will get to all of them; it just might take me a little time. Thanks for your patience and for the feedback.
I’ve been doing longer chapters, with some present and some flashback in each. But this chapter is regular length, so I’ve broken it up. This one takes place in the present; the next will be all flashback, picking up directly from here. This chapter’s mainly transitional, but it does give some more info on the creature, and I figured a transitional chapter was (hopefully) better than no chapter at all. I hope you’ll let me know you’re still reading.
Another chapter of “Always With You” is up for those reading it.

(103 words)
Well I’m working to wrap this up, but we still have a ways to go. Since installments have to be drabble-sized, it could still be a while. I really hope you’ll stick with me. Please leave a review and let me know you’re still out there!
Now, since the brothers haven’t had much interaction the last few chapters, here’s some lighthearted banter for y’all—back to more serious stuff next chapter.

17. Like prying hen's teeth by bhoney [Reviews - 6] 



(202 words)
Thanks to everyone who’s been reading and reviewing this and my other stories. I really appreciate it! I’m behind on review replies and will be this whole month—I signed up to participate in NaNoWriMo, which is a terrifyingly massive writing challenge in November. If you want to check out my progress, leave encouragement, or harass me if I fall behind on word count, the link is up in my profile.
I’m going to try and keep up with weekly drabble postings while doing the challenge. Don’t know if I’ll manage it or not—have I mentioned it’s scarily massive? LOL Anyway, I probably won’t be able to post anything other than drabbles this month because of the high word count for NaNo. Thanks for understanding.
I did finally post my hypothermic!Dean, protective, caring!Sam story. It’s called “Frozen in Memory.” I hope you’ll check it out!

18. Putting the pieces together by bhoney [Reviews - 5] 



(295 words)
This installment is extra long, since you guys have had to wait a few weeks for an update. Thanks for your patience; I hope you’re still reading! I also posted a humorous follow-up to “The Power of Suggestion,” called "The Power of Duct Tape” for those who requested more of the story. Hope you enjoy!
Thanks to everyone who’s left encouragement regarding NaNoWriMo, your support has meant so much to me! I finished it last week, and even did more than the required word count. I can’t believe it—I actually have a completed novel! I still have to edit it and everything, but I just can’t believe I wrote a novel! It’s a total miracle, and the best feeling ever! Thanks again to everyone who’s asked about it or cheered me on.
