Okay, that was was tight, close one. Icky green pus hmm so not good to have inside you.  And so typically Dean hanging on for dear god to the pain he's suffering.

Running Horse's sad recounting of his brother's life.  And Dean, so unable to understand why RH didn't kill his brother when he knew it was going around killing his people.  Hmm, he's yet to experience that little beauty.  And funnily, he can't do it either when it comes down to it.

Loved the pink impala comment, so indicative that Dean is back to being, Dean! 

Lots of open wounds prodded about there and definitely a better understanding of what makes them both tick, though Dean, as always has to pull down that cover when it gets to the emotional stuff.  I love it when he's hurting and more unwittingly open about his feelings. Sam so touchy feely and yet when Dean does his emotional stuff, boy it knocks the absolute socks off of you.

Ah, I see an epilogue, off to investigate...

Jane :)



Author's Response:

I totally agree. Dean emotion guts you while Sam emotion makes you rub your heart. At least, that's how it effects me.

Can't keep it chick flicky for too long, y'know. :)

Oh that was a lovely ending. Nothing like tying up the ends neatly and at the same time making you feel gutted to hell that John had missed the boys!!

I totally adored the fist to john's stomach, that told heaps about his feelings for each of his sons and the sacrifice he knows they and he make.  That he understands their relationship they have together, but its even more poignant when its highlighted by someone else.

This chapter was like dark chocolate bitter and sweet.

This was grand, and now I think i've read it all, so hurry hurry what else is in the pipeline??  Feed your reader she's hungry again.

Thanks for sharing.

Jane :)

 



Author's Response:

This was the first time I wrote John in the present, and I chickened out of posting this when I first put this story up on ff.net, but I thought that here I'd give it a go. I'm so glad you liked this.

I'm glad you liked the story! I really enjoyed writing it and it is such a rewarding experience to see that the telling of the story captivated you -- even if it was just for the moment you read.

As I said a few reviews down, I am bringing Abe back in a story called "In the Light" -- I'll start that as soon as SJ and I finish "Sunday Bloody Sunday" (which, if all goes well, the next chapter will post by Friday of this week). "In the Light" will be set immediately after BUABS, and is being written for Nana56, who "bought" a story from me at the 2007 Kazcon Author's Auction.

I thank you so much for your time and your comments, Jane. They are better than chocolate.

Oh boy, that was dark, and I was holding myself so stiff and barely breathing!  Such horror, oh my, I fear for our boys.

Hmm, the first part I'm not sure about, that Teaser you posted. It implys that Dean's ending it all, but I just figure him to be way too focused on his Brother to give in to ending it all.  He lives for Sam. I'm dead interested to now what that was all about.

A great, bloody morbid start.  These boys need food and a good nights sleep!  And a launderette for all those blood stained clothes!!

Jane :)

Date: 15/09/07 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3 Stained

There he goes again, 'you need some food,' does he never tire of looking after Sam. He so desperately needs looking after himself it makes my heart cry.

Sam succuming to the smell of the greasy burger despite his promise of waiting for Dean, it just wasn't going to happen, cos Dean's so wrapped up in making sure they are sorted with cash and a place to sleep.  But at least one of them is barely refereshed to make sure they get a place to lay their heads.

Deans face mashed up against the window, great description of a guy thats just all done in. Loved it.

Ack, do I go to bed, its late you see, or do I read on the next chappie and enjoy the glass of wine by my side. Well... I was never a gal to say no to a grand story or a glass of wine, so it looks like I'm in for the ride that the next chappie brings. ;)

Oh they are both hurting so much, but Dean is really down there on the floor.

Was wincing as the stiches went in and hells bells I know that feeling of wanting to fall into bed with your clothes on, dead beat, curling in on that pillow. I was so there with Dean.

Okay, its well late, hence the kinda relating to Dean thing, but I must go onto the next chapter, because darn you make it just so readable and un-puttadownable, and I just so need to know what comes next!!  But then its BED cos my kid has a footie game tomorrow and its an early start. Curse the fab SPN writer! LOL.

HOWL!!  I've joined Dean in a sugar fix, chocolate.  Hell, I need more, fic that is, not chocolate. So, one more chappie, then bed, defnitely.

Dean needs rest, lots of it, I just hope that he gets it, and soon, his poor hand, and not to mention his fragile state of mind need time out.

Oh hell!!  What a place to leave it, I now need to know what the heck they are looking at, what a tease!

I had to laugh at Dean's reaction from the sneeze but at the same time it really wasn't funny, he worries me. 

Great imagery with with t-shirt being stripped off i have to say!

The hotel sounds like its got quiet a history, lots of death and intrigue, plenty to keep the boys busy.

Roll on the next chapter.

Jane  :)

Date: 15/09/07 Title: Chapter 7: Chapter 7 Surprise

With the car failing to start I reckon the old ghost/s are wanting the boys to stay.

Not sure if I like this smell that only Dean can whiff, its a bit too Dean exclusive for the comfort zone.

Love the descriptions of town and hotel, a place to stay if it weren't haunted, huh.  The corridor sounds a bit onimous, something to do with the doctors experiments perhaps?

1 am now bed is calling, I did well though, more tomorrow when the dark starts to descend, hell I can't wait; bring it on as they say.

Date: 17/09/07 Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8 Are you okay?

HOWL!!  '...like watching dumplins bob to the surface of a stew.'   very droll, I loved that description.

I like the filler chapters, a necessary to make the action, I always think. 

Dean's going to have a hard time of it, when the action does arrive, 'cos not only is he a poorly bunny he's got the smell from hell up his nose and that can't be good.  He appears. to me, all unsettled,. Hopefully, sleep will help.

Loving the description of the stairs, I was pidgeon toeing it in my head as they walked up them.

So, yes, I am back not so late now though ;)

::shivers::  That was a bit on the spooky side. Margaret taking over his body like that, but at least Sam was able to erm... well, knock her out of him quick enough.

Well, it sounds like Margaret gets her kicks out of other peoples pain and we all know that Dean has plenty of that hidden away inside of him.

I wonder if Sam will think to research Margaret's name tomorrow, and it would appear that Dean remembers it all, but still unsure if it was real.

He's not doing too good is our Dean.  A poorly head, hand, stomach, throat and I bet you he will still want to do the grand tour, with Margaret probably in tow waiting a chance to pounce again.  Worried, I am!

Oh that was very good. I once wrote a POV for a multiple personality, arguing within itself, it was incrediably difficult to put to paper, so I understand your concern with this; but I think you definitely cracked it.

This is where I scream for Sam to come back early.  It's not looking very good from Dean's POV.  Hopefully, the fever will consume him and he'll drop and she'll just have to leave him alone.  God, he's so vulnearable! Love it.

Ack!! I gave myself one more chappie before tea and bed, and now it looks like I'll have to foresake the tea and read another chappie.  What a tease you are indeed.

Poor Dean feeling and seeing it  from Margarets POV. I just hope that Sam finds him sooner than later as he's not appearing to be in any great shape. 

I can understand Margarets need too, either she or her boyfriend are  buried in that wall she kissed and wants them be found.  But that doesn't explain why people where knocked off balcony's, unless that was her trying to take them over, and, as she said of Dean, he's weak and they were not.

Jane :)

 
Reviewer: jane Signed starstarstarstarstar
Date: 17/09/07 Title: Chapter 13: Chapter 13 From A Dark Place

Safe, ish!! I hope, though as Dean said Margaret doesn't mean any harm to him, I guess she just wants to be found.

And David and Linda are just totally perplexed as to what is happening with Dean and their hotel.

Looking forward to the next chappie, which will be tomorrow as I've had my tea and its early bedtime.

Jane :)



Author's Response: I'm so enjoying your reviews! They're like a little story themselves.

 
Reviewer: jane Signed starstarstarstarstar
Date: 19/09/07 Title: Chapter 14: Chapter 14 Trade

Oh, that last bit, 'not anymore...'  I hope thats Margaret in there  with Dean and nothing else!  So far she's been kinda okay, wanting to be found, I feel, but this last bit had a deliciously scary, not quite sure, edge to it. 

 Am very intrigued, so, onward to the next bit.

Date: 19/09/07 Title: Chapter 15: Chapter 15 Death Bound

What a horrific death poor Margaret and her boyfriend suffered.  I could feel the claustraphobia she must have felt and the thought of insects crawling up your leg with no way to push they off and them having a 'take out' on your boyfriend.  Not a good chapter to be eating anything to methinks, but grandly descriptive.

So, our poor boy is really feeling the drain and desperately needs Margaret out of him, I just hope that they are not too late and Dean is irrepairable!

Eeek, i don't like the sound of the tap tap tapping, and that sudden hot windy draft down the passage way. Please don't tell me that the Mad Doctor is haunting the hospital too, that would be just so absolutely awful.

I'm sure you have some horrid thing up your sleeve. Half of me wants to know but the other half is dreading reading on!

Tea, first, I need something to steady the nerves.

I'm so glad now that I left this chapter to go to bed last night, as hard as it was half way through, but if I'd have got to the end I would never had got to me bed, as this is just way too cliffy and tantalising and where-we-came-in to leave and not continue.

Happy Thursday morning and what the heck is going on here.  It doesn't look like a possession, as such, but it must be because Dean wouldn't be so emotive and let his guard down, nor would he consider  leaving behind his most precious possession, his brother. So something is playing with his head.  Can't wait to find out the end.

Oh how gross is that, what an absolute nutter he really was.  Icky, icky I need a cuppa to wash down the next chapter, and a biscuit too. *g

Love that Dean is now back with them, but how long?! I'm loving all the drama and angst that this chapter brought Boy do they both need a holiday, at a different hotel, after this one.

Fabulous, fabulous ride.  And they both came out of it alive, always a bonus. 

I will go to work this morning, smiling, with the vision of Dean - wet in just his boxers  -need I say anymore.

It was an excellent ending, I can't see why you would think otherwise. It was all rounded up very nicely.  I particularly enjoyed the car convo, so Dean, building up his little wall, hiding his pandora's box. And then Sam steering it onto safer waters, food and more food.

Great story, m'dear very well done indeed. Thank you for sharing.

Jane :)

It's yay Thursday for you and yay Friday for me when the download hits cyber space! I can't wait for next week.  Its autumn which means new seasons and my eyes turn square! 

I go to concerts by an Irish band and in all the years I've been watching them, they have never been on stage on time, sometimes early, sometimes really, really late and we call that Irish Time, LOL.

Blimey Dean, he nearly went there didn't he. It was pretty touch and go and deliciously angsty, I had to read that bit twice, just to make sure I was totally over indulged!

I had to smile, typical man, hurting like hell and he can still manage to get a little amorous. But then again Brenna does have that hold on him.

And its not looking good at all, in fact, I was cringing for Dean when he hit that wall. Jack sounds like your worst nightmare come to haunt you in the daylight.  He's obviously got history with Dean and a very mean streak thats being directed at the one person thats going to end up getting Dean in more trouble, Sam!  What a wicked place to leave it.

Dare I venture on? I smell violence, blood and angst aplenty!

Jane :)

 



Author's Response:

When I was living in Ireland for school, I found that I had to plan on the "Irish Time" when traveling on public transportation. I was late to class on more than one occasion because of that... *shakes head*

I'm glad you liked the edge in this one, the edge Dean about tumbled off... because, well, there's more. I had forgotten how close I brought him in this one, but your reviews are bringing this story back to me. The human evil tries to finish what the wraith started.

I can't remember if I told you previously, but I wrote a one-shot called "The First Cut" that explains the back story of Jack, Dean, and John. I had it already figured out so that I could write this one, and a reviewer named Sanderspleen wanted to know, so I wrote it up and posted it. If you're interested, I just thought I'd let you know.

I sure hope you venture on! Yes, blood and angst on the horizon. :)

Yes, I did read this before, ages back, but I was very shy then *g and didn't review. I know bad me.  Somehow I found my reviewers legs and I'm now a little less shy!

There's a happy sound in my head and its Dean and Brenna and the delicious connection that they have. There he was all but swooning (sorry Dean, but I love that pearl of a word) so there he was a-swooning and he just thought her name and in a blink she had focused on him; something for all the closeness of his bro, he couldn't get Sam to sense him. Mind you, Sammy boy was rather wired after his run in and holding the forte as Dean struggled to get back up off the floor.  So, go Sam, we'll let you off ignoring Dean's predicament this time. *g

Back to Dean, swooning, or pre-swooming. Fab description m'dear. I could really feel the sense of not being there that Dean was feeling as his connections started to mis-fire and unconsciousness crept nearer and nearer. Like an echo in a tunnel, he was moving further and further away from Sam and Brenna, such fab description, I was there in his head, feeling his pain and his disorentation.  Grand stuff.

Shall I amble onto the next chapter then? I have wine tonight. My other half is walking up a mountain in Wales, its raining dogs and cats here, but its warm and cosy in the house and, well, a glass of wine seemed a better option than my usual cuppa tea. After all, its Friday, no work the morrow!

Author's Response:

I made it! I wanted to get to these two reviews of yours before I face-planted on my keyboard and here I am!!

I'm so happy to see that not only have you read this one, but that you're leaving me reviews! I'm so glad you're no longer as shy -- your thoughts and reactions have literally changed the course of my day at times.

This story, for me, was as much about exploring the character of Brenna as it was about Dean and Sam. It was kind of a way for me to figure out if she was going to "do it" for me past this.

There's something intoxicating for me writing Dean in pain or on the edge of pain or dealing with pain or fighting through pain. I refuse to figure out why that is.

And wine is always a good choice. Especially Dancing Bull Zin. Mmmmmm... Oh! Or Twisted River Reisling. Hmmm... is 11pm too late for wine? ::wink::

Kick some ass, go for it Dean!  I just hope he manages to stay on his feet whilst he's kicking ass, or he could be kicking ankles!! Bless.

Oh so much going on between these two, Sam's kinda right they need to get a room, though I think the conection between them is so strong that wouldn't actually make much difference. It might ease the electricity around them, but I think they will always crackle when in each others space.

The IRA, thats a biggie and I don't envy Sam and Dean going up against anything to do with that.  And add to that a potential soul stealer, that sounds rather icky and hell Dean's soul is full of stuff, he could be a heavy casualty if it got near him.

Roll on the next chappie!

Jane :)

 



Author's Response:

So, in 1996 I went to school in Dublin, Ireland. I was exposed to a debate between the British Parliament and Sinn Fein. From that point on, I had an outsiders opinion about the IRA (totally mixed up, quite honestly), but I drew on that to shade the dark in Eamon and his boys.

The wraith is an amalgamation of several different supernatural baddies, and one of the worst I could come up with.

I grinned at the comment about electricity crackling around Brenna and Dean -- that's how I wanted it to feel. Neither of them wants to admit needing the other. And they fight it and each other. But the pull is there. And it's strong.

I hope you continue to enjoy your read.
