Wow, it's been a while.

The boring bit: 20s (just), from the South of England. I sell cheese for a living and write purely for the fun of whumpage.

Thanks to: The huntergirls, The Virtual Season (for whom I was honoured to write/art for, for a while) and to Tree for the truly mammoth amount of work she puts into this site. (Seriously - it's like a duckling; all calm and serene on top but under the surface...?MADNESS! :) )

I've been pretty quiet on fanfic lately - having completed the penultimate installment of the House of Cards series I found myself at a bit of a loss, and sad to say, as much as I still love the show, it hasn't been particularly inspirational for a while now.

But:

I'm ploughing my way through another epic fic - The Coming of the Light; an apocafic set in an AU world after season 5 (if I can just get Cas to play, that will be coming up very soon indeed!) - and I've got a whole file full of bunnies for the end of Cards.

Hope to see you there!

Now do you really think you can leave us with a cliffie like that and not expect to get nagged? EVIL GIRL! Go kick that muse up the ass, 'cause I gotta know more! still love the way this story's gone from funny to scary, and you're exploring some sides of the boys that we rarely get to see, so hurry up! please? lol

She's a hard bitch, that muse of mine- don't think a bit of kicking's gonna scare her.....Threatening to hug her might work, though. I'll let you know :)

Okay, tears in my eyes now - for real!

Stunning - even more so than usual!

terrifying as sam starts to give in, as dean hangs there - the image of the hands reaching through the floor is proper horror-movie haunting! - and so beautiful when you get to the contract, never suspecting until that point that it isn't the contract he made for sam's life but one so much more precious!

sorry for babbling, seem to have forgotten how to string sentences together tonight!

But WOW! Fantastic story!



Author's Response:

Oh thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked this one. I just couldn't get it out of my head once it started bugging me. I knew Sam had a wild card to save his brother, I just wasn't sure of what it was and a lot of ideas floated arounds before he let me know! When I sat down to write I thiought I'd just do the little prologue from Bobby's POV, but the whole story just flowed out of me!

On a funny Muffy-ish side note--the young man who works for us read this, the first of my writing he'd ever looked at and now he looks at me a little odd. I probably shouldn't let him read In Darkness at all LOL

Hugs. Muffy

Have to say - that is almost scarily good. Your writing is beautiful, darkly elegant, punchy, and I wish I could work out which bits I wanted to put in here, but there's so many!

"Suffocating on life, exhaling death," awesome line, it has a kind of terrifying resignation, that sense that every breath he takes is one less left to come.

"The black clouds sitting in the sky are my only company" - shivery, lonely, reading this, you get the inescapable image of Dean standing in the middle of a crowd, totally alone.

"I bang my head against the wall until there's nothing left but fragments of what was. A chalk outline of my existence, but nothing inside of me left to be identified." And that right there, is probably my favourite line - though I'm sure it'll be replaced the second I read the next chapter. It's a stunning image, painfully empty and cold, as if he's broken inside a shell that seems perfect from the outside, and I'm all but screaming at Sam to see how bad Dean's hurting!

Bring us more of your magic soon darling, I'm craving it already!



Author's Response:

Scary good? Beautiful, darkly elegant and punchY? A girl after my own heart! ;) Thank you so much for this amazingly awesome review!!! I'm so glad you're quoting, it gets me excited...

Your fav line was the first line that came into my head and that's what made me right this poem feel story! I hope my second chapter is as good as this one ;)

I'm doing my best to conjure up some more magic for you guy's ...I'll do my best to get it up soon cause I know all to well about cravings. lol

Feeling hopeful, but I just know there's lots of pain and angst over the horizon...

love the simplicity of this style, the short chapters really give the tale pace when it would be all too easy to wallow in the moment.

And favourite line? Easy: 'Sam felt something in him twist at the broken and haunted look in his brother's eyes.' Beautiful. Just beautiful.



Author's Response: I have a feeling you're right. And I'm glad you really enjoy it. Typically I try to have longer chapters in my multi-chaptered stories, but this one is an exception, and I'm glad it's working out to your liking. Thanks for the great review!

 
Reviewer: calUK Signed
Date: 09/06/08 Title: Chapter 4: Day 19

Haven't reviewed the last couple of chapters, been having far too much fun reading 'em!

the format of this story is fantastic - the 'sneak peek' effect of the journal entries, followed by the actual events as they happened is a great way to give us a real insight into Sam's mind during those events, and as a result, it feels as if we're seeing it from inside his head.

the style of your writing is wonderfully powerful, really vivid, and i love watching Dean slowly come back to himself, that gradual emergence of the character we all know and love.

Next chappie!



Author's Response: Wow, thanks so much! I'm really glad you're enjoying the style - it's a bit outside my typical comfort zone, so I'm glad my venture into the unknown is turning out well. :) Thanks for the awesome review - I promise I'll update ASAP!

Jane, I've been waiting for this, and you sure as hell didn't disappoint! I love the way you just let the story tell itself, giving us hints of the angst to come without using a sledgehammer - it actually makes for a wonderfully tense read, as I'm left waiting for the other shoe to drop... And I can't wait! (Especially to see if the lovely motel room gets a Winchester make-over, think my views on pink and lace are about the same as Dean's!)

 

 



Author's Response:

Hey Cal,

I've re sent the email, so hopefully you'll get it this time!

 Thank you so much for reading and reviewing, I'm so pleased it hasn't disappointed, let's hope you enjoy the rest. 

As for the motel room, unfortunately it was drawn from reality, a charming little place I stayed at many years ago in Somerset.  How scary is that, as my views of pink lace and nylon are about the same as yours and the boys!!  Still makes my skin crawl at the thought!

Next chapter should be up soon.

Thanks again Cal

OMG, now you've got me scared! And you didn't even need a horrible thing from the darkside to do it! Tht chapter was amazing, beautifully written, the contrast between the quiet washroom and the nightmares, and that slow, silent killer creeping up on him.

The image of the tears falling as he dreams, that was the moment that really took this chapter beyond great and into incredible, and it just keeps getting better from there - and your cliffie is worse than Kripke's!



Author's Response:

Hey Cal,

Wow, thank you for the awesome review, (blushes).  I wasn't sure if the non-supernatural baddie would go down too well but it seemed to fit with the mundane task of doing the laundry!  I thought a little bit of normal (well for the Winchesters anyway) wouldn't go amiss..

Carbon monoxide actually terrifies me too, talk about the ultimate stealth killer.  Get those boilers checked out!!!

Sorry about the cliffie.  Demons made me do it!  Not too long to wait though, hopefully have the next chapter up by the weekend.

Thanks again. x Jane x

Well, it's here at last!

I promised, but I'm not sure where to start, so much I love about this lyrical little torment, and it just keeps getting better every time i read it!

Really love the demon's voices - full of character and really dark, cruel humour. makes me shiver just think' about 'em.

loved 'his demons.' the idea that it isn't the denizens of hell tormenting him as much as it is his own, inner demons brought to life - beautiful!

only one way to hell and it is plastered with good intentions and promises not kept - WOW - stunning imagery, LOVE IT!  (again)

And that little backwards section - feels as if he's fighting so hard but losing, and all he can do is scream his battlecry - of course it is. what else could it possibly be? - "Sam!"

Amazing writing Ilka, poetic, beautiful, horrible in all the right places (it's a good thing, trust me, horrible is GOOD) and only a little pervy...

sorry it took so long!



Author's Response:

Well. Cal. Your review was certainly worth the wait. So THANK YOU! Hope I didn't coerce you into reviewing. I wanted you to read it if you hadn't already. I wasn't aiming for a review. Really.

The way to hell, well I don't know if there is a saying in English like this. There is one in German so I just translated it as I thought it would point out the inevitable path to hell once you don't keep your promises.

Thanks hun. And I can hardly wait for Halloween and the next chapters to Nocturne. I will wait for it to be complete before I restart reading. Your stories are best read in one go.

Cheers, Ilka

I wrote this story under the penname Guiltypleasure--so that it would be separate from the thread that starts with What Goes Around,  Comes Around. 

--This story takes place somewhere after the St. Louis incident--the brothers have been running from the law for some time.  Dean is stalked and caught by a woman with a grudge,  but her need for revenge is a tool that a demon finds useful.
