Date: 26/03/08 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 Hey, I liked this. Very nicely written. Do want to shout 'no, no, no!' at Sam though. Dean would hate for him to lead a demonic army to save him (however pretty the jewellery might be!) Good story. Thanks. Kirsty x Author's Response: Thanks for the review! I don't think he'd be best pleased, either, lol, but I think Sam would do anything for Dean. Summary:
Dean and Sam are headed as far away from Monument, Colorado as they can. But fate intervenes and both brothers have to fight to rescue themselves from their new opponent's clutches while an innocent girl is in mortal danger. banner by BulletBabe, well done! Thanks to birdie, couldn't have done it without you! All my love. You're the best!! Don't own Kripke's boys or any of the events on TV, but the show inspired my story (I wish the boys were mine, though...) Spoilers through seasons 3, 2, 1 Oh, yeah: Hurt!Dean and Protective!Sam throughout whole story (not in chap 1)

Date: 02/04/08 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 (Not) An Everyday Occurence Hey Ilka, This was great, a really promising start. Sick!Impala - how will Dean cope? Maybe this is his hell already? Have to say - first demon in space? Now there is a story I would love to read! Looking forward to the next chapter. Kirsty x Author's Response: Hey Kirsty, thanks for leaving he review. I'm sorry but I don't do sci-fi. Maybe you'll pick up that particular story, huh? Be my guest ;)). I can tell you, this isn't hell, yet. Then again, who knows where the story goes... I DO.... and I'll tell ya... Next chapter out at weekend... Ilka

Date: 21/04/08 Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8 Reverberations Hey Ilka, Oooh, I like being a Goddess. Does it come with a pension and a company car? I love this chapter. I like Sam's incredultiy at Dean having the visions (a bit jealous, you think?) And Dean insisting he is well enough to fight despite barely being able to stand. Stubborn boy! Mostly though, I like Sam & Dean's discomfort at having to fight a Demon in a little girl. I have 2 young daughters and I know how evil they can be, and that's without demonic possession. At least I assume it is. Maybe I should Christo them, just to be sure ... Good work, keep it coming! Kirsty xx Author's Response: Hey Kirst, thanks for reviewing. Nope, no pension, no car, just my eternal appreciation for your PRO BONO work!! Well, jealous Sam? Dunno, sometimes Sam strikes me as being a bit jealous and selfish, maybe these ideas influenced my writing there. Stubborn and Dean are synonyms, aren't they? Yeah, children sometimes seem a bit demonic, I've got plenty of objects to study at work. I guess, it will be tough for the boys to kill Lilith on the show, too. Can't wait how Kripke and his writers are gonna do it... Anyway, season 3 is about to continue on Thursday, let's wait and see, huh? Hugs and snogs, Ilka

Date: 24/05/08 Title: Chapter 14: Chapter 14 To Die Would Be An Awfully Big Adventure Hi Ilka, Yes the finale was evil, wasn't it? What we all need is to get hold of one of those amulets and start sending Dean our well wishes in Hell. And naughty thoughts. You know, just stuff to keep him entertained until Kripke get's him back out again... Nice chapter, m'dear. Hope you have a ball in London. Kirsty x Author's Response: Kirsty, I wish you'd been there too. Awesome guys, great fun and a lot of inspiration for new stories... Thx for the review btw. And for the quick beta-duties on this nastily long chapter!! Ilka XXX Summary:
Dean’s deal is due: it’s collection time. It’s time for belief, time for trust, time for goodbyes. But it’s never time for sacrifice. Can it really be time for Sam to let Dean go?
End of season three, naturally. Spoilers for pretty much every episode ever filmed, up to 3.12. Obviously nobody really knows what will happen 3.13 – 3.16, but it’s probably obvious what I’m hoping for… Rated T for language.

Date: 21/04/08 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 Oooh, this is a change for you - I like it! What has that sneaky Sam got planned, eh? Looking forward to the next chapter. Kirsty x Author's Response: Not my usual stuff, I know... this is weird, not doing humour! Glad you like it though!

Date: 22/04/08 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2 Argh! You can't stop it there you bugger! A naughty Zoroastrian god is their bitch? Damn! I really wanted that job! I really like this. A very original take on how to get out the deal. And a return to humour in this chapter too (you couldn't keep the angst up, could ya?) Nice work. Kirsty x Summary: Another of my Ben Braeden Winchester stories. The Winchesters are in the wilds trying to figure out what it is they are hunting.

Date: 25/04/08 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 Hi Kim, I’m so glad you’re doing another Ben story and this was a great first chapter. I love your attention to detail, and your description of the mountains was lovely. But mostly, I love what you do with the characters. You have made Ben so much a part of the Winchester life and written him so convincingly that all of his interactions with the boys and the people that they meet feel natural. It’s never like he has just been foisted into a scene but you feel he really belongs there. And the mix of the fun stuff of parenting (the teasing and messing about in the pool) is balanced just right with the heavier toll of guilt over every little thing. Ben’s reactions to his dad and uncle being hit on were great; not wanting to seem like a needy child, trying to be cool and allow Dean and Sam some ‘adult’ time. But, ultimately, he is still a child and unable to stop the displeasure at feeling rejected from escaping. Add to that the obvious loyalty to his mum ... well, there are going to be plenty more carefully worded conversations at inopportune times in the Winchester future! Oh, and Sammy and Dean both getting laid in the first chapter – Wahey! Looking forward to number 2! Kirsty x Author's Response: Kirsty, Thank you so much! I'm known for pulling my punches and my sublty....yeah, right. So, everyone (except Ben) gets laid and Sam's girl didn't die, yet. I think any kid would have a difficult time watching women react to Dean and Sam and understanding what it all means. Plus pretending that Dean never does 'it' again is rediculous. Next chapter moves with a bang. Angst, pain, and anger. What more could a person ask for? Thanks for reading and the review. Kim

Date: 30/04/08 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2 Arrgh, Kim – you and your bloody cliffhangers! Luckily I’m in a good mood now, having just enjoyed a very pleasant 40 minutes with a cup of coffee, a couple of jaffa cakes and indulging in another great chapter, so I’ll forgive you. As usual, it was Ben I liked most. He’s a spunky little kid, isn’t he? Must be in the genes. Of course you have ruined most other fanfic for me as I’m not sure I’ll ever really enjoy just a Dean & Sam story anymore, it would feel like someone was missing! My 2 favourite quotes: "Yeah, cause you guys are just that lucky on camping trips." Ben observed. Ain’t that the truth! And: "Don’t worry about it, kiddo." Sam replied. "You’ll probably be taller than your dad; he’s destined to be the shortest in the family." Just cos it’s so reminiscent of conversations with my kids. They are all determined to tower over me! And only in the Winchester clan would being over 6 ft count as short. Really, really looking forward to chapter 3 and seeing how much you bash poor Dean in this time. He should get a restraining order slapped on you! Kirsty x Author's Response: Kirsty, So very sorry. I don't mean to, really, I don't. They have to stop somewhere. The conversations between Ben, Dean and Sam remind me a lot of my own family. My daughter was depressed when she discovered that she was done growing at an inch shy of my height and then her sister went and put 4 inches on me. It's going to be terrible when the boy finally hits his growth spurt. At least I won't be the shortest - my poor baby. Sadly for me whenever I contemplate a story it seems as if something is missing if Ben isn't there. I didn't intend for this to happen but here it is. Gotta love the kid, just like we have to love our own kids. Thanks, I really appreciate the support and kind words. You make me smile at all the right times. Kim

Date: 05/05/08 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3 Holy Crap, Kim! You'd better update fast or I'm gonna tie bricks to your ankles and chuck you in Lake Drummond! That was fantastic! You write them all so well. I don't envy Sam and the decision he had to make. Of course Dean would not think it acceptable to get himself out whilst leaving the other victims there. And he definitely wouldn't agree to Ben being left behind. Still, I doubt Dean will be in any position to kick his arse by the time you and your monster have finished with him! Argh! I can't stand it. I forbid you to do anything but write this story. At least until Dean is safely tucked up in a warm bed and being administered to by a naughty nurse. You were right to be happy with this chapter, it was superb! Kirsty x Author's Response: Kirsty, From what you've told me, even with bricks on my ankles all I have to do is stand up in Lake Drummond. Now banishing me to Chuckatuck for the rest of my life might be incentive enough (sorry to Chuckatuck lovers/residents out there). Any takers for the naughty nurse? That's what I thought. No worries, there will be more very soon. Thanks. Kim

Date: 09/05/08 Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4 Well, Kim, I hope Ben's a better shot than his uncle! Bloody, bloody cliffhangers. Grrr! You're hell-bent on beating the crap out of both the brothers this story, aren't ya? So does this mean that the big brotherly ass kicking is going to have to be scaled right back to a glaring contest? Loads of intense, angry staring. Mmm. Loved it, excellent chapter and can't wait for the next update. Kirsty x Author's Response: Kirsty, Don't worry about the gun shots, I do explain what's happening with that. Sorry about the cliffhanger, it was freaking long as it was, so I had to stop somewhere. Brotherly kick ass, hmm, guess you'll have to wait and see. Thank you so much. I appreaciate everything. Kim

Date: 12/05/08 Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5 Hooray, hooray got to read it twice in one day! Ahh Kim, this was fab! Pissy Dean and guilty Sam and Ben knocking their heads together. Superb! Perfect character interaction, as always. And yes, yes, yes - they are learning from John's mistake and putting Ben first. First rule of parenting, fellas! Now, if they can just work out how to kill that freaky skinwalker, I'll be a happy bunny. Great work, can't wait for more. Kirsty x Author's Response: Kirsty, About time they start to really figure it all out, huh? It takes a while when the kid thing starts out bigger than a baby. Usually takes the kid teaching how its done under those circumstances. Dean and Sam are smart boys it'll all come together eventually. Skin-walker beware, the Winchesters are on your trail. Thanks, I really appreciate your support. Kim

Date: 27/05/08 Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 6 Oh God, Kim - that was hilarious! I was expecting more torture and angst, what with the stress of the move and everything... Poor Sam, Stanford educated and can outwit the evilist of geniuses but totally out-foxed by an 11 year old boy! Of course Dean would be loving it, this is the best kind of revenge - Payback, The Next Generation! It's the reason grandparents buy their grandkids drumkits. Excellent chapter. Totally loved it. Kirsty x Author's Response: Kirsty, My mother calls it "The Grandparent's Revenge" - that every child will have a child that's just like them. Move is going well. Now that I got my daughter's school to co-operate everything should be smooth sailing. I hope. Thanks for reading! Talk to you soon. Kim

Date: 01/06/08 Title: Chapter 7: Chapter 7 Yeah, good job Ben. How did the other 2 cope before you? Well, Kim, I'm glad you and Katric sorted your priorities and ignored real life in order to get this chapter up cos it was fantastic. Finally killed the freaky bastard - Yay! Are we gonna find out more about Longpre? Reckon he might get his own little spin off story? Think you could do some interesting things with him helping Ben with all that 'spiritual' stuff. With his dad being an archangel and his uncle a possible antichrist, maybe he needs a different, less intense perspective. A bit more tree hugging and a bit less being kidnapped and tortured would do the kid a world of good. Anyway, looking forward to next update once you've got that darned RL problem sorted. Kirsty x Author's Response: Kirsty, I don't know how they got through life without dear little Ben. Writing stories without him is going to be a challenge for me now. How am I going to get a long without him? Katric and I have all the right priorities....right! I was so grateful to her for Betazoiding (joke for us) that chapter for me. I was sitting on the ground in an empty living room telling my husband, "Just a few more minutes and then I'll mop that floor, I promise." He was sweet and didn't nag too much. We got it all done, though, and we are all where we belong (for the time being). You like Longpre? Cool, I like him too. I think civilians exposed to the Supernatural world are fascinating stories. I'll put some thought into him and see if anything rattles out of my head. I agree that an outside perspective would be a one good for Ben. Maybe once we get a resolution to Dean's deal I'll finally tell Ben what happened to Dean so that he can see the full implications of his life. I'm hoping to be up and running officially tonight. I plan to work on my next chatper today once I've caught up with my work. Thanks again, Kirsty. I really appreciate your support. Kim

Date: 13/06/08 Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8 Kim, Well you know I have no patience and hate cliffhangers and I always want to know what’s going to happen next so I was really excited to see the final chapter up. And what a great chapter! The big bad is dead and I’m waiting for everything to be neatly wound up but you went and pulled the tension out a little bit longer, didn’t ya? With Sam puking and passing out and then even poor Ben keeled over from blood loss you sure made us work for our happy ending. Loved the interaction between Ben and Longpre. His fascination with Ben and the way Ben slowly opened up to him, (maybe because Dean seemed to be coming around to him? Trusting Ben’s care to Eugene in the tunnels was a pretty big deal!) I would love to see this character explored more fully. And I really liked his o/protective big sister, Kate! Gotta love a feisty woman! So, yeah, really happy to see the final chapter. Until, of course, the ‘final’ part registers and it dawns on me that there’s no more to look forward to. Bit bummed now. Don’t know if you do requests, but I’m sure you’ve got a lot of time on your hands what with the kids annoying hubby and I’d hate for you to be bored, so... how about another Ben/Longpre/tortured Dean (pref with stitches) story? Go on, you know you love to inflict! Cheers for another darn good read! Kirsty x Author's Response: Kirsty, It's funny because I killed the big, bad and thought that the story was done. I thought the next chapter would be short and sweet and done quick. Instead it just kept writing itself and writing itself. Everytime I handed to Katric for Betaing I'd send her another version of it with updates. It was great when it all finally solidified into the story that is here. I loved Ben and Longpre too. I've always had kind of a mystical feeling about Native Americans and wanted Longpre to come across that way. In the beginning a lot of readers were nervous about him becuse Dean was so nervous - when isn't Dean protective of his own? - but even Dean had to acknowledge he needed help. I'll look long and hard at your request to bring Longpre back. Dean with stitches is easy, so I should be able to fulfill that wish fairly soon. Thank you so much. I love your reviews and ou little chats. Kim Summary:

Date: 11/05/08 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 Craptacular? Just added that to my vocabulary... Very sweet and nicely written. Liked the idea Dean would only submit to comfort in the dark. Thanks for sharing. Kirsty x Author's Response: LOL - yeah, craptacular pretty well describes it ... :-) Thanks for reading and reviewing! Summary:
Just three days before the deal is due, and Sam is slowly falling apart, while at the same time trying to keep secret the ceremony he and Bobby carried out to save his brother from hell. Dean is finding it harder and harder to cope, and Bobby is doing his level best to hold both boys together and do what needs to be done to complete the ritual. So a standard Winchester weekend then! Sequel to 'The Fall of the House of Dream.'

Date: 20/05/08 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2 About being sad Hi Louy, Well, you know how much I loves me a good shower scene, and that was a corker. But then, you were just relaxing my guard so you could score a direct hit with the angst cannon, weren’t you? Loved the brotherly exchange on the landing, as Sam exited the bathroom and Bobby’s observation of it just being ‘snark by numbers.’ And of course there was the letter: perfectly ‘Dean Winchester’ saying so much with a few, seemingly throwaway, words. So much of the emotion in the show isn’t obvious, there are few overt displays of affection, but the feeling is no less present because of that, and you capture this perfectly. A prime example of this is the scene with Dean curled up on the bed with Sam stretched out beside him, between him and everything else. The way you wrote this from Bobby’s pov, set the exact right tone, giving the needed distance and perspective to appreciate the implications without being battered over the head with it. Perfect. In case it wasn’t clear, I really enjoyed this chapter and I appreciate you inviting me to join in the fun. And the angst... Kirsty x Author's Response: Ah yes the angst cannon, I know it well...hehehe. And I certainly have one or two of those in my arsenal. Thanks for the review my friend, but especially for all the work you're willing to put into this fic to help me improve it...you are one in a million! Thank you...XX Louy

Another excellent chapter. Loved big brother Dean mustering his game face one last time to try and make it easier on Sam. And the way he played with Sam's hair in the car as he spoke, it was so sweet, so Dean. And then we have distraught Sammy and worried Bobby but at least you won't leave them like it for the Summer, right? Right?? Good work. Kirsty x Author's Response: LOL. Promise I won't be leaving them all Summer...hehehe.

Love the way you drew the parallels Bobby saw between the boys even as they coped so differently with each others deaths. And getting in the Sword of Damocles? Kripke is so often quoted as saying it hangs over the whole show but maybe it's just been over Dean's head this whole time... Excellent as always.

Date: 04/06/08 Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5 Killing more than time Hi Louy, Well, you know it's a good story when you're so gripped by it that you start shouting at the characters on the page. And I have been doing that a lot with this! I wanna ring Bobby and Sam and tell em where Dean is. I wanna warn David to avoid Lomax and start listening to Tony. But mostly, I want to whisper comforting words into Dean's poor, charred ear. Great as always. Looking forward to more! Kirsty xxx Author's Response: Kirsty... There's a few things I would like to do to Dean but whispering in his ear is way down the list. oops I've said too much... Thanks my friend, for all your input and for your great reviews...XXXX Louy
