Loved how Dean called the baddie Yoko...it worked well and you definitely could see him doing that in the show..you have the brother's mannerisms and characters down so well!  great  job

Author's Response:

Thank you for that.

I wasn't sure how the Yoko reference would come across, so I'm glad it worked. It was just too good to pass up, and seemed to me a very Dean thing to say given the similarity of the names. 

I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I hope that you had a wonderful Christmas, despite the in-laws - or is that out-laws...LOL.

That was really well done...great job.  I loved them holding hands together at the end...and Sam coming to realize more about his brother.

Author's Response: Thanks!  You can thank my wonderful beta, Gail, for the ending...she thought my original ending was inconclusive and pushed me to give it a more satisfying finish. Glad you liked it!   

 
Summary:

Sam has learned from long experience to never try to talk to Dean in the mornings.  It only makes Dean frustrated and grouchy when conversation happens around him, and he can’t hear it. 

 

Special thanks to calUK for the beta work, and the banner.  She's definitely helped me wrap my brain about how I needed to approach this and made it much better!

Fantastic story and I loved the ending. so pleased that Bobby didn't end up in hell and that they are all together.  Loved how Dean ended up with a family and that he is happy!  great job

Summary:

"Sam, I'd do anything for you, even heal your brother but the fact is that I can't, not in this body.  This vessel is barely holding on as it is.  But with you as my vessel..."

How much is Sam willing to sacrifice to prove his loyalty to his brother?  How far is he willing to go to convince Lucifer once and for all that he'd never be his vessel?  But when Dean's life is on the line, would Sam even have the strength to say no?

When Dean is severely wounded after they follow a lead to Detroit, Sam is faced with an impossible decision where any choice he makes would be the wrong one.

wow that was intense...really good.  I love how Dean and Sam were together at the end, trusting one another, and full of love for each other and Sam kissing his forehead.  I wonder did Dean say yes to Micheal in his head before he died?????I would love to see if there is more to this story...good job

very surprised to see a story by you!  great treat on this friday.  Lovely short stories, weaving the sense of family, home and love together.  great job, you had lots of great lines, but I really liked this one..simple to the point "Sam leaned into his big brother's touch, bruised lips curving into a faint smile. He was safe. He was loved."  well done!

Author's Response:

I was surprised too - LOL.

Thank you - I really wanted to show that for Sam, despite everything that's happened, Dean really does represent home to him. And it was fun doing another multi-season story. 

So glad you loved the last lines. To me, Sam's been a bit of a wanderer, but he's always pulled back home, or finds his way back there.

Summary:

Spoilers up to episode 5.14.  Sam's POV after MBV.

"He didn't need to see the blood smeared across his mouth to know he looked like a monster.  The horror on his brother’s face had told him all he needed to know."

Lovely...really well done...please please please let them do something like this on the show..I know they wont but it would be fantastic if they did.  great job...

Author's Response: Thank you very much!  Yeah, I doubt we'll see this on the show but that's the great thing about fanfics.  We can just write what we'd love to see!  Thanks again for the fantastic review!

 
Summary:

Dean thought it sounded like a simple enough hunt. But when was anything simple when your surname was Winchester? A simple salt and burn near the small town of Gerty, Oklahoma turns to disaster for the Winchester Brothers.

Spoilers for season 5: Set immediately after 5.6 I believe The Children Are Our Future.

Author's Response:

Thanks for the review, glad you are enjoying it.

Will Sam find his brother in chapter 6?

Stay tuned for a twist because in some ways this story is just beginning.

I hope to read more reviews from you in the near future.

Yeah I figured that Dean would have lost his memory otherwise this would have been a short story! :)  Glad that Sam is beginning to figure out what happened to his brother...great update

Author's Response: Thanks for the review. glad you enjoyed that update.

 
Summary: Past Featured Story

banner

Sam and Dean and a werewolf. Simple? Not when Dean has internal struggles that, if he wins, will be the last loss he will ever face. And then there’s Sam, having to play Dean through no fault of his own. Or is it?

No season five spoilers that I'm aware of.

Rated T for the odd word, some suggestive suggestions of suggestiveness and some messy fights.

For my sister. Cos she ‘gets’ me.

really enjoyed this story...my favorite lines are this "Dean couldn't even snag a guest role in Sam's version of heaven. How the hell was that supposed to make him feel?""  very very true...good job

Author's Response: Thanks so much for the review!  I think Dean not being in Sam's heaven was really his breaking point.  But I don't necessarily think they were reliving their happiest moments in heaven  I think is was more about what they've always wanted.  Sam always wanted normal, Dean always wanted family so they saw the things that reminded them of this.  But that's only my opinion. :)  Thanks again!

 
Summary:

banner

Sam and Dean are asked to take care of something. Language barriers, stubborn poltergeists, nasty memories causing old wounds to rip at the seams: it's a typical week in the life of our favourite grumpy stumpy dude and his tall emo yardstick of morality.

Set during season five but no relation to any story arcs, plots or episodes. This is not about nor does it mention the apocalypse, angels, demons or in fact demon blood. Also, this may be a little more serious than my usual fare. Be warned. Rated T for language and limited gore.
