Reviews by Birdy Summary:
Sam did his best to save Dean from the deal with the crossroad demon. Dean knows he did. Sam was willing to give everything to keep Dean alive. But sometimes, the biggest sacrifice is letting go of someone you love.

Date: 29/05/08 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 Oh wow, that was amazing. Really enjoyed it... ok, not sure 'enjoyed' is exactly the right word, as it was so sad. But it was very well written and you captured the boys perfectly. Really good work, thanks for sharing. Kirsty x Author's Response: I think I know what you mean by "enjoyed". Thanks so much, I'm glad you liked the story. Summary:
What's been going on inside Dean's head since the deal! Awesome awesome banner by the sweet Rae666

Date: 28/05/08 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 - Not a day in my mind Really good look at all the stuff going on behind those rather pretty eyes before the standard "I'm fine" is uttered. Like that fools anybody! Well done on being featured, very much deserved! Kirsty x Author's Response: Thank you very much Kirsty, I am totally blown away to have been featured and have so many good writers and readers reviews me, you being one of them. DRU-BABY x Summary:
Losing somebody you love is the hardest thing to go through. Sam knows from personal experience. There is only thing that could possibly make this worse: a light at the end of the tunnel, but you don't know if it's hope or hellfire. Post season 3, my take on what could possibly happen after the season finale.

Date: 29/05/08 Title: Chapter 2: A Night in Darkness Intriguing beginning. Like your writing style. Got a really good grasp on Sam's state of mind. Looking forward to next update. Kirsty Author's Response: Thanks. More should be to come soon.

Date: 30/05/08 Title: Chapter 3: A Guest for Dinner Oooh, another good chapter. I have a question though, given that Bobby was the one to give the boys their original protection against possession, wouldn't he have taken similar precautions himself? Or is it one of those 'high level demons don't follow the rules' kinda things? Yeah, ok, I'm being a nit-picker. Really enjoying this story and looking forward to next update. Kirsty x Author's Response: Yeah, you're touching on kind of a sore point there (one which I had hoped people wouldn't notice too strongly, lol). There will be an attempt at explaining it in the chapter to come, though I don't know whether it's enough to satisfy a nit-picker (which btw is a trait I've always welcome in my readers). If it isn't - I am aware of that small plot hole, and once I find a good way to fix it I will do. Thanks a lot for the review, I'm glad you're enjoying this tale so far.

Date: 03/06/08 Title: Chapter 4: Fickle Human Emotions Oh that was a fantastic chapter. I let you off the whole 'Bobby possession' issue now, cos I guess he was a (sort of) willing possessee (is that a word?) Loved your descriptions of Ruby trying to move Bobby and it all being a bit awkward. I know she was weakened but I'm gonna guess that it's also like driving a different car - if you're used to a sporty little number but are stuck borrowing a pick up truck, that takes awhile to adjust to. And Sam's observation of the individual demon's traits leaking through into their 'hosts' expressions was interesting. Mostly though, I love that you're giving us hope that Sam could still save Dean through their brotherly bond. That is how it should happen, dammit! Really good work and can't wait for next update! Kirsty x Author's Response: I guess that still Ruby should have had more trouble possessing paranoid Bobby, but if you let me off the hook for the sake of setting this scene the way I needed to, I'm glad. I normally am a stickler for things like that, and they irk me a little, but *cough* writing this I totally overlooked it *cough*. I love the car metaphor. It wasn't an intended reason for Ruby seeming awkward in Bobby's body, but it's a great way of reading it. And hey, I'm a fangirl too. So whatever hope I got left, I'll cling to until season 4 comes along. Whatever it takes. I'm so glad you're enjoying this, thanks a lot for the review. I'm trying to get the next chapter up faster, it's already finished, but it always takes a little time to get validated. Thanks a lot for the review.

Date: 05/06/08 Title: Chapter 5: Going Deep Another good chapter. Liked the way you had the repeating thoughts in Sam's head just going back to 'way to save Dean' and his reluctance to leave the body behind. I kept wanting to shout 'take him with you!' He's got his soul around his neck, why not stick his corpse in the trunk? But I guess the protective charms will have to do for now. Can't wait 'til next update! Kirsty x Author's Response: Lol, the image of Sam heaving Dean's body into the trunk of the car made me laugh. I think Sam would have felt better having Dean's body around, but lugging around a corpse would be so impractical ;-) Glad you liked it, thanks for the review.

Date: 06/06/08 Title: Chapter 6: In Between Hi, short and sweet, this one, wasn't it? Liked the change of pov and you described Dean stuck in the amulet very well. Wow, that was a weird sentence. Anyway, you know what I mean. And Sam grounding him again when even the thought of his dad couldn't, that was fab. And the whole 'never it, you' thing, being a stiff upper lipped Brit, I get that completely. God, we're a soppy bunch aren't we? Hope you enjoyed your weekend! Kirsty x Author's Response: Yeah, but I think there's absolutely nothing wrong with being soppy about those two guys. Absoluely nothing. I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter. Though Dean is not in the amulet as such - it's just what still binds his soul to the world. But there will be more of that later on (like actualy explanations, lol) and we will visit Dean again. We need to check in occasionally to see how he's holding up, after all ;) Thanks a lot for the review. Summary:
This is a tag to the season three finale. There are spoilers for the final episode so please don't enter if you don't wanna know.
This is my homage to Cookie's wonderful story "The Long Hard Road Out Of Hell". I bow to your talent, Petra. And for those of our family in pain or afraid at the moment, I wish for peace and comfort.

Date: 28/05/08 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 Ahh Bev, I still love it. You describe all the pain and the fear so wonderfully that even a stiff upper lipped Brit like me get's a bit teary and worried for our boy. But then you turn it around, as he does too, constructing his armour (let's face it he has had enough practice at that!) and fighting back so that it is ultimately uplifting. This is fantastic, as always. Very well done m'dear! Kirst xxx Author's Response: Geekster. Wow hunny, how lovely is this for a terrible old ego manic like me? Thank you for your lovely words and for the help to turn the raw stuff into this surprising thing. Who'd have thought it? Love ya Kirst! bev xx Summary:

Date: 01/06/08 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 Dean jogging around in his boxers? Conspicuous is not the word I'd use to describe that! Good first chapter, like the boys interactions. Looking forward to seeing where this goes... Possessed tumble dryer, perhaps? Nice work. Kirsty x Author's Response: Hi Kirsty, Who would of thought Dean about town in his boxers would draw so many comments!! Oh I think I need that drool busket again! Thank you so much for your kind words and for reading and reviewing. Mmmh! Possessed tumble dryer...now you've got me thinking! Hope you enjoy, next chapter up soon. Thanks again. Jane

Date: 03/06/08 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2 Hiya Jane, So, Carbon Monoxide poisoning, eh? And I thought it was gonna be that freaky little loo roll doll... Always had a bit of a morbid fascination with CM poisoning. Remember watching 'That's Life' with Esther Rantzen as a kid (I was the kid, not her) and being totally freaked by the families wiped out by 'the silent killer'. Much scarier that demons and werewolves and stuff! Anyway, good chapter. Liked your descriptions of Dean's subconscious torturing him when he can't escape. Only one complaint, Bev tells me you're a fellow Essex bird, so why on Earth haven't you got both boys down to just their boxers yet? Letting the side down there... Looking forward to next update. I'm sure you're just slowly building to the stripping. He'll at least need his shirt off for the CPR, right? Kirsty x Author's Response: Hiya Kirsty, Didn't realise you were a fellow Essex girl!! How did you miss Sammy clad in just his towel dripping blood, and Dean, well you might have to wait for chapter 3 or was it chapter 4, but I do believe there's a 'kit off' session somewhere - there's even some bare feet for Bev!! Maybe I should've written an Essex version just for local distribution!! It was a toss up between freaky loo roll doll and the CM for the 'Big Bad' (I'm actually more scared of those awful dolls, I can't bear them sitting behind me!) but the CM won out in the end. I remember Esther Rantzen and 'the silent killer', it really is some deadly dangerous stuff. All that lulling you to sleep and not waking up again, ever...Well, unless you've got an awesome little bro waiting to come save you! Thanks so much for the lovely review. x Jane x

Date: 06/06/08 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3 Hi Jane, ok you got me I was very ungrateful for the whole 'Sam dripping blood in nowt but a towel' scene and I apologise profusely. Now, about getting them out of their coffee stained clothes... Aaaand back to the review. Good chapter; hooray for Sasquatch finally coming to the rescue! Like the way you merged Dean's dream with reality, the disorientation was very well described. Also love Sam's unhealthy chopstick thing. Makes me grin everytime I read it. I appreciate inanimate objects in recurring roles. Looking forward to (last?) chapter. Kirsty x Author's Response: Hiya Kirsty, Haha, no apology needed, I'm guessing your a 'Dean girl', ignoring Sammy in his towel!! I was going to go for the 'kit off - bed bath' scenario but it got lost along the way!! I'm pleased you enjoyed the rescue, I had visions of Sam doing a 'Bambi' across that slippery floor. Poor Dean's spending a fair bit of time disorientated in this one. Sam and his chopstick - I hope it doesn't disappoint at the end!! Last chapter hopefully up early next week. Thank you so much for the lovely reviews. x Jane x

Dean's been to Hell and back, now it's time to get Sam back too...

I am so sorry I fell down in my betaing duties but you know what you shoulda done? Yup. Poked me with a stick. Loved this. And it proves you don’t need me anyway. You know what else it proves? You can pop Dean on the fluffiest of clouds and surround him with harps and halos and he is still going to be the bad ass, smart Alec we all love and sinfully lust after. He doesn’t need all that other guff, anyway. He is heavenly enough in his jeans and biker boots (and nothing else!) Crap. Just realised, all my work to get sent down t’pit (in the Hell sense rather than your coal mining heritage) in order to continue my stalking and now you’ve gone and sent him up top? I’m gonna have to be reaaaaaaaaally good for the next 70 years if I’m gonna make it up there. That means no more pervy foot porn for you, m’dear. And so close to your birthday, too. Darn!

It’s simple really…two brothers, in the dark, talking. That’s it. That’s the genesis of it.

Summary:
These drabbles were conceived on a surreal London Underground journey following a very enjoyable viewing of the movie, Ten Inch Hero. Janger, Alena and I were suggesting random words for drabbles and Dribble/Drool was our first suggestion. The later words became our shared story 'The Alphabet Incident'. http://www.supernaturalville.net/viewstory.php?sid=2208

Hey, just saying, is all... Anyway, you took a much used concept and made it your own. And I echo NongPradu - so glad there was no ghost of (post apocalyptic-Sam's the Anti-Christ-burn-world-burn!) Christmas future. I enjoyed your less obvious choice of 'visitors'. Besides, nothing brings out the festive joy like chewed up kiddies! Finally, I think we agreed that Tiny Tim/Sasquatch Sam would say it best: Mewwy Cwismas. Kirsty x Author's Response: I wish I'd had time to do the gimpy leg, I really do.

Kim Mewwy Cwismas...laughing, Kirsty, always laughing! Summary:
The story describes the culmination of the last 8 months during which Sam has sucumbed to the darkness within him and become the leader of the dominions of evil. He and Dean now face their final bitter and bloody confrontation.  Thank you Lou for my beautiful banner. I think you know how much it means to me. xx This is darker faire (bring a torch to light your way!) than my usual writing and may not be to your taste. It is rated M for theme and language and to all you Sammy girls - Mea Culpa! Thanks as always to Kirsty for beta-ing me and to many friends for advice and help with this one. Special particular thanks to Jane for your invaluable help without which it might never have got to here (oh and i'l put pirates in the next one!). And to Kripke - thank you for letting me play a little with your beautiful boys. To those who voted for my story in the Ungen awards...Thank you, you made my day!

Your writing transcends the subject matter, lending a different tone to every piece whilst keeping a recognisable voice. But have I ever told you how much I love the way you write Bobby? Whenever he appears in your work, whatever his role at the time, you hit him spot on. And that's not easy. Heh, maybe it's your insider knowledge (feeling up his bum!)

Reviewer: Birdy Signed
Date: 06/02/10 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 Kim, I love this for so many different reasons. Dean taking the time out to find himself, that's usually such a cliched thing to do, but in Dean’s case entirely necessary. I long for a happy ending but know it can’t be as simple as that. These are men whose entire lives have been dominated by the most appalling horrors and stresses and that’s not something you could believably just put behind you in 10 minutes. So, Dean going off and trying new things in order to work out what he really wants and likes as opposed to making the best of what he’s given makes perfect sense. I love that he traveled for pleasure rather than for the job but I can’t decide whether I’m happier that he finally got to see the Grand Canyon or flew on a plane out of choice. Is it bad that I’m also kind of glad that he left Sam for a change and didn’t once seem to let what his brother wanted factor into his choices? I think living for himself will always be Dean’s biggest hurdle. I loved that you had him trying fancy restaurants and new foods, learning to dance and enjoy French wine. Mostly, though, I love that after all his new experiences he returned to hunting because it was what he wanted and what he was good at. He hasn’t wasted the last couple of decades, the knowledge and experience will still be used but this time because he chooses to. Kirsty, I've been intending to respond to this for ages but every time I look at the review I become overwhelmed. Your words mean more to me than I can express and you enjoying my story is the icing on the cake that I always hope for. Thank you! Kim |
