Beta-reader:

I make my home in a small little house in upstate New York. It's not much, but it's mine and that's what matters.  By day you'll find me toiling away at a hospital as a secretary.  By night, I'm a writer. My secret life if you will.

While Supernatural is my current favorite obsession, I enjoy writing for several different fandoms--Emergency, Starsky & Hutch, and the Leandros Bros. books by Rob Thurman. I'm also a published author, having two books of poetry ("Doorway to a Soul" and "In the Quiet Stillness") out there.

I love to make friends and meet new people.  Supernaturalville has provided an incredible opportunity to do just that and it's been a blast.  Writing and reading fanfic is really one life's great pleasures.

An incredible write.

Author's Response:

Thank you, Ness, from the bottom of our hearts.

When we put this together, we were hoping for a reaction, but the sheer depth of it was overwhelming. But we really wanted to tap into that hopeless grief of Dean's spiralling down into his decision to throw everything away in order to regain his brother, so it was a bit of a rough journey for the authors, too, in a way.

But worth it - so worth it.

Thank you again,

Jules

I think you broke my heart with the mention of little Dean holding Sammy so tightly and not letting him go.  And him not speaking either.  Ahhhhhhhh.

Author's Response: thankyou, i always pictured Dean as such a broken little boy, partly why he's so good at hiding his feelings now.

Wow--this was great.  You've (or rather Dean) described him perfectly.  Loved the part about him not wanting to be a freakin' marshmallow or piece of fruit at his center.

 



Author's Response:

Thanks Vanessa,

Yeah, Dean would most definitely want to have something hard at his core.  Take care, B.J.

For some reason, I love the last line of this chapter.  It kind of catapults me right into Dean's head, wondering if he thinking about not coming back.  Weird, huh?

I love this story.  It's been a treat.
