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.

Summary:

 Sam has an admirer. And Dean has a hater. How far will she, or it, go to have him, and keep him? Spoilers for pilot (Like we all haven't seen that before, right?) Spoilers for Asylum too. (We've all seen that one more then once too, right?)

Great artwork.  Thanks to everyone, and congrats to Mizpah for taking 1st.  I'd also like to send my deepest thanks to Vanessa for nominating it! That was the biggest compliment anyone could give!

For all those that don't particularly care for romance, it's my version of romance, meaning it's dark and twisted, not loving and caring.

Big huge thanks to bulletbabe for the banner, it is so totally awesome and I thank her a million!

YAY--Jay got what was coming to her!!!  I'm absolutely thrilled!

I loved this chapter.  With poor Dean having to be catheterized (again) and this time it being even more painful because of the infection.  (((wince)))  Poor guy.  When he was reaching for Sam to hold on to.  (((sigh))) I loved that.  Also adored the part where his eyes rolled back in his head and he crashed as his blood pressure tanked. 

Okay--now what's with that little cliffy?????  It's gotta be that he passed out because he found Dean all better, right??  Or is there one more little twist?  ((God, why do I feel hopeful at that?  I really do want Dean to be better--really--honestly!  I'm just a hurt!Dean junkie.))

 



Author's Response:

Do you think I'm weird with the whole catheter thing?  There's just something about the thought of poor Dean having to endure that, knowing what kind of person he is that makes me think that would be the worst possible torture for him.  Oh well, anyway...

All I will say is that Sam did not pass out because he found Dean all better.  Come on, that would be too easy an ending, wouldn't it?  I too am a hurtDean junkie and I need to throw in just a few more moments of angst in for good measure.

I am really glad the ending was a good one, but it's not quite over yet.

Hmmmmm---interesting!  Will look forward to seeing where this is going.

Forgot to mention that I absolutely LOVE and ADORE this line:

When he made contact with her skin, he felt a shiver roll up his spine, turn a 180, and crawl right back down as the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end, and started dancing with one another.



Author's Response: ty, i thought it was maybe a little too out there. Thanks for letting me know it worked!

I feel just terrible for poor Dean.  Yet I crave Hurt!Dean so I'm a sick puppy.  lol  Boy, she's really doing a number on ol' Sammy.  Grrrrrrrr.

Great update.  Look forward to more soon.



Author's Response: and for poor Dean, it's all downhill from here. Glad you like it so far!

Uh oh.  Noooooooo--I don't want Jay anywhere near the boys!!!

Really liked the glass in the head thing.  NICE work!



Author's Response: sorry you feel that way, i thing she may get a LOT closer!

Bravo!  Another great update.  Poor Dean thinks Sammy attacked him.  But I'm curious, was it really Dean who called him?  I can't imagine it if he thinks it was Sam who hurt him.  Just wonderin'.

Cannot wait for more.



Author's Response: it was dean that called, unfortunatly not in time to stop sam from doing something stupid.  as for what he was thinking, well, can't give that away yet.

OH, GOD--I LOVE this.  What you're doing to Dean--awesome!!  I sooo need more!!  So if Dean thought it was Sam in the mirror . . .    

I'm not so much of a romance person when it comes to SN and our boys.  (Though I love to read romantic suspense novels!  Weird, huh?)  I just don't trust Jay.  :-)



Author's Response:

Poor Dean, always in a world of hurt, (at least in my world)  I'm really glad you're liking it so far, and don't worry, how long can the romance possibly last?

“Jerk,” Sam retorted, as he pulled the blankets off his brother, eyes wide when he saw the red stains across the sheets. “Dean, I really think you need to see a doctor.”

Wasn't expecting that (Dean dreaming that he peed and then actually having done it).  But I really like it.  (Yeah, I'm a sick puppy.)  I dunno--I guess I like the vulnerability of it.

Anyway, I liked this chapter.  Knew Jay was involved somehow!  Oh, and I liked the way you described Dean's concussion symptoms.



Author's Response: Can you honestly say you've never had that dream before? Anyway, thank for reviewing, I really didn't like the chapter, but i had a little mental block.

Ohhhhhh, poor, poor Dean.  Now comes the emotional torture and with him hurting so bad physically this is gonna be messy all the way round.

The dislocated rib was a new one for me.  Sounds ridiculously, horribly painful.  I think I held my breath right along with Dean.

Can' wait for the next update.



Author's Response: Dislocated ribs are ridiculously, horribly painful, trust me.  Sorry to say, Dean's hurt has just begun. As always, thanks!

God, the tension in this story is killin' me!  It's sick that I love that Dean's gonna get worse long before he gets better.  And what is it about Dean's nose bleeding that I'm suddenly enamored with.  Must the ominousness (that probably isn't even a word lol) of it.

And that last line!!  Wow.  I so can't wait for more.



Author's Response:

Something about Dean with his own blood on his face that just does something to me.   

ominousness, works as a word for me too.

Thanks for making me smile today!

Not too much at all!!  This was incredibly awesome.  The terror Dean feels is so palpable.  I almost feel it right along with him; my heart thunders in my ears as I read.  This is edge-of-your-seat stuff, leaving one desperately waiting for the next breathtaking chapter.  And now she's getting her way in sorta splitting the boys up with Dean on his way to the hospital.  When it comes time for Jay to go down, please have her go down hard . . . and nasty.  Gruesomely even.  :-)

Author's Response: Thanks you so much! I squeezed my eyes shut tight while I wrote it, it actually creeped me out too, and that usually never happens.  I can't thank you enough for the great comments, guess i better get my head in gear and figure out what to do with Jay.

No, need to stop Dean's torture too soon.  (((grin)))  This is too riveting for words.  A tracheotomy?!  Wow.  Even if it was Jay who performed it, it was still an incredible moment.

I'm scared about what's gonna happen when Dean gets to the hospital and the boys are inevitably separated.  Divide and conquer--makes me shudder.

Still loving this story!!



Author's Response: Glad I could throw in a scare!! Thanks

OOPS--I meant "No need to stop Dean's torture".  That accidental comma put a whole different spin on my words.

Seriously, you can keep going with Dean's physical and emotional anguish.  hehehe



Author's Response: I knew what you meant, and maybe I will since it seems to be in such big demand!

I read your last chapter like 5 times.  Was so happy to get up this morning and see an update.  And what an update!  Since my other favorite show is Emergency! (yeah, a really old one), I love the paramedic flashback and Dean being treated in the ER.  Yep, I too liked the catheter scene.  Poor Dean, he'd definitely hate that.  And just recently having had one after surgery--man, they are terrible--probably more so for a guy though.  :-)

I actually woke up in the middle of the night last night thinking about this story.  So I would say I'm still LOVING it.



Author's Response:

I loved that show when I was a kid!! Huge crush on Randolph Mantooth, he was sexxxy!! I hope the rest of the story doesn't disappoint, and I'm really glad you love it so far.

I probably read your review 5 times too, it made me feel that darn good!!

 
Reviewer: Vanessa Signed starstarstarstar

Awesome.  I wondered what you'd come up with that was worse than a lobotomy, and have to say--crucifixion is definitely it.

The one thing that worries me is the psych eval. in the morning.  Please tell me they're not gonna lock him up in the psych ward . . . 

 



Author's Response:

Thanks, was worried how that would go over.  As for the psych ward, I'm doubting he'd let them, don't you?

Oh, God, I think my heart just stopped.  Dean's in that "thing's" hands.   Can you hear my anxiety filled moans from there?  'cause they're loud enough.

Milder, yes.  And I'm one of the crazies who misses the torture.  But still it was a wonderful update.  I so cannot wait for the next chapter!!



Author's Response: I can hear them!! More torture may be on the way, haven't decided exactly what yet though. Thanks again!!

 
Reviewer: Vanessa Signed starstarstarstarstar
Date: 17/11/07 Title: Chapter 15: Chapter 15

Toooo slow?????  Are you kidding?  Absolutely NOT. 

I'm incredibly glad that Dean noticed the unblemished hand and has realized that it's NOT Sam tormenting him.  But, boy, he's still in a world of trouble.  :-)

I'm still on the edge-of-my-seat moaning anxiously and awaiting the next super update on this story.



Author's Response:

Thank you Thank you!

Even sick and battered, you can't pull one over on Dean, too bad he didn't notice before he got in the car.

Glad you're still liking the story!!

I love it!!  Breathless foreboding ...

Wonder what it'll take to make you scream...........

I can't wait for the next chapter.  I'm so glad Sam didn't just fall for it all and head off to Cali with Jay (ugh).

Lovely update, Strigo.



Author's Response:

Thanks much!! We all know Sam's smarter then that, right?  Of course he is, he's a Winchester.

Oh, as for what will make Dean scream, I already have that figured out.....

Author's Response:  Oh, it's coming.  I promise, an not just dream torture either.

Okay, I'm officially a sick and twisted person.  How weird is it that I got a thrill when I read your author's note above???  I am really, really looking forward to the chapters to come.

 
Reviewer: Vanessa Signed starstarstarstarstar

Worth the wait?????  God, YES!  You whipped him AND made rats crawl all over him!!  Outstanding!

And now Dean is gonna fight back (despite his injuries).  And Sam's starting to put two and two together.  Woo Hoo!  I'm definitely looking forward to the caring and comfort to come.



Author's Response:

Caring and comfort from whom? Sam or Jay? (Just kidding, I know what you meant, I think)

Thanks again, glad you're still liking it!

Has my opinion of her changed?? NO WAY!  I still detest her.  hehe  This was a terrific update with Dean finally getting the upper hand on the beast with Sam's face.  And, dare I hope, the boys are reunited in the next chapter??  I'm sooo ready for some of the comfort coming on top of all the delicious hurt.

BTW, congratulations on making it to the "Featured Story" list with this awesome story.



Author's Response:

Thanks for the congrats, it was a shock to me when I saw it!  Guess the pressure's on!!

Really glad you liked the last one, and really really glad everyone hates Jay still.

Superb update!!  I think I held my breath the entire time I was reading it.  I could practically feel Dean's body shutting down and his desperation while tapping on the phone.  And, wow, you got me with the one line:  oblivious even to the furry little creature crawling it’s way up his leg and making it’s way to his face, no longer interested in just his fingers anymore.  After all that delicious torture earlier in the story, THIS made me cringe.  hehe  Go figure.

Oh, I just cannot wait for the next update!!  Have I told you lately how much I love this story?!?



Author's Response:

Thanks again for the great comments!

There's just something about a dirty nasty rat that makes the skin crawl, isn't there?  Physical torture is one thing, but that's a whole seperate ball of wax.

You can tell me everyday how much you love this story because I will never get tired hearing it!!

Thanks again and again!!

Risking the danger of repeating myself one too many times, I just wanted to mention again today how much I love this story!  I've read this last chapter like 5 or 6 times now.  Can't wait for more!

Author's Response: You can repeat yourself as many times as you want, and I will never tire of hearing it!  The simple fact that you've read that last one over and over is probably the greatest compliment of all!

 
Reviewer: Vanessa Signed starstarstarstarstar
Date: 11/12/07 Title: Chapter 20: Chapter 20

OH YAY, YAY, YAY -- the brothers are together again!  I know the danger isn't yet over (*&%$#@! Jay), but they're together and I love it.  Sam's reaction to Dean's condition was terrific.  I could feel my stomach clenching right along with his.  Funny how the rat was sleeping in the crook of Dean's arm instead of chewing on his face as I half expected.

Bravo!  Cannot wait for the next installment!!!



Author's Response:

You're probably right about the danger being far from over, but hey, why now.

I could NEVER EVER let that rat do damage to that all to perfect face, that would just be way too wrong!

Thanks, as always!!
