Date: 16/04/08 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 Hey, I found you over on fanfiction.net and I've been reading a lot of you're stuff and I have a question: I was wondering if you could tell me which is the story of when Caleb shows up at Stanford in Sam's dorm room? It's been referenced to a couple times, but I can't find it. Summary:
A minor car wreck leads to major repercussions in Sam's world. His ever protective big brother, and his harsh father attempt to help him recover his life.

 Date: 26/04/08 Title: Chapter 7: Chapter 7 This is really interesting. I learned about the two kinds of aphasia in linguistics class. I'm looking forward to seeing Dean help Sam through it. I love their connection. 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: 11/06/08 Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 6 Deep out of sight Awesome chapter! I can't wait for Sam to find Dean ... And David's a really good character you've created. I'm interested to find out what happens to him too. Author's Response: That's a great compliment, I always love to know if a made up character is working - I guess it's the biggest challenge, to make OC's as real as the boys...so thanks for that and the stars. You've made my day. XX Louy Summary:
Dean survived Hell and was on the road to recovery, but for every surge forward he’d fall back a step or two. His frustration at not being whole was growing. He wasn’t the man he used to be. Would he ever be that man again?
No Rest for the Wicked tag.

Date: 19/06/08 Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 6 - Have a Little Faith I am really loving thid story. Your depiction of Hell and the people that come to him and remind him of Sam are perfect. Thank you so much. Yeah, Hell can't simply be about torture, not when Dean Winchester is there. He is so strong, to survive he is going to have to hold on to something. I love bringing back people like Layla to help remind him of Sammy and offering him hope. Take care, B.J. Summary:
(Awesome banner by LittleFairy78 and Psych_ologist. Thanks!) The road to recovery is more of a winding mountain road. Post 3.16. AU when Season 4 starts. Complete.

You really handled the aftermath well -- Sam's reaction and Dean's comforting -- beautiful! I really want to know what the surprise is! Author's Response: I did warn you! Wasn't that nice of me? And thank you - I always keep my fingers crossed that I have the boys right - there are so many layers to both personalities, it's easy to overlook something. And when you're a 40-something female writing about two 20-something males, well, let's just say life is never boring - lol. Ahh, the surprise - all is revealed in the epilogue...Jules Summary: With Dean's life hanging in the balance, Sam and Caleb must find a way to build a bridge between past and present, finding forgiveness and a common ground that will allow them to accomplish the only thing they seem to agree on...saving Dean.

Date: 20/11/08 Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8 I really like this story so far... but is there a chapter missing between 6 and 7? Or are you just skippimg around between past and present? You were clompletely right! Thank you for telling me or I wouldn't have noticed. With three other stories to keep track of it gets a bit confusing sometimes. I don't know how some people manage to keep up to eight different stories a float at the same time. My head is spinning just thinking about it. Anyway, thank you so much for informing me about the rather unfortunate mistake. I found it and it has been corrected. As soon as the admin is finished with the missing chapter 7 you can back-track and read. And I would strongly advise you to do just that, because I don't know how people made sense of the babble I wrote without that chapter? Again, really sorry and thank you so much for the stars which I'm sure I didn't earn for my organizational skills? Thanks again :) Summary:

It looks like a daunting task, but you manage all of them beautifully! It's such an awesome way to see inside the very emotionally charged time of Sam's leaving for school. Thanks! I love writing about that time - it must have had such a huge impact on the character, yet it's barely touched on in the show... (you listening, Kripke?! lol) So the idea of telling that story in drabbles - much more intense than traditional prose - really appealed. I'm glad you liked it! Summary: Character study, I guess. First ever time writing poetry! (and slightly terrifed...)

I love the character of Castiel and I think you really did him justice here, Alastair and the boys as well. In summary: Very touching, perfectly true to the characters, unique explanation of some plot points, and brilliant insight. Author's Response: It's always a pleasure to entertain. I may have DV-R'd and watched the episodes with Alastair several times since they aired. He was so wicked, and I really love trying to capture that kind of sinister self-indulgence. Summary:

You pay for a ticket, you get on the plane you paid for. It should be that simple. I was travelling with a group of 10 young women to an event in Australia this summer and they overbooked and made us leave one person behind. She had to wait 24 hours to get another flight. Gosh, listen to me babble. Anyways... Great story so far and I'm looking forward to more!! Author's Response: Irish, how much do I love that you ranted at me....hehehe.

Date: 15/04/09 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3 OMG! I absolutely love this story! Gah, I don't usually go for this kind of futurefic (with the boys no longer together) but I know you're writing and I always enjoy it so I tried this one out and I have not been disapointed. The way you're gradually revealing the whole picture with flashbacks is really well done and the state of their relationship is done so well as to be believable and intriguing. I also love the OCs you've introduced. I can't wait for the next update! :) It all started with a comment someone made about "what would Sam do if Dean walked away?" I became intrigued with the idea. This is the story that resulted. Sam's walked away several times and now Dean's hinted at it twice...wonder what will happen when Dean's had enough? Thanks for the review and the wonderful comments. I had a hard time with this story and it makes my day to know that it's working. Summary:
A promise to a friend takes Dean Winchester back to the woods of Hibbing to confront his worst nightmare... Banner by GypsyWoman1 Categories: General Characters: None Challenges: Series: None Chapters: 23 Completed: Yes Word count: 124192 [Report This] Published: 21/07/09 Updated: 14/12/09
Reviewer: IrishTwilight Signed
Date: 19/11/09 Title: Chapter 7: It's Just a Shot Away It occurs to him that he hasn’t really ever talked to Sam about the woods as an entity, and about all those weeks, about what they did, the three Benders. “It’s – familiar. This.” He sweeps his hand around. “Like coming home. But – unreal too. Like a dreamscape. You know, I woke up here and it was like a kind of… birth, I guess. Reborn, as Gabe Bender. There was no Dean. There was nothin’ else for me, Sam, ’cept little flashes, glimpses of before. Like before was the dream.” This is just like “La vida es sueño”! We just read this play in Spanish class. In English it’s called “Life is a Dream”. Have you ever read/heard of it? It’s about this King who has a prophecy that says his son will be evil and kill people and take over the kingdom. So the King locks his infant son in a tower and he grows up there alone with only a guard who comes and feeds him. When the Prince is an adult, the King kind of feels bad, but mostly just wants to prove that the prophecy is true, so he decides to let the Prince out and see what happens. So they give the Prince drugs and he wakes up in the palace, and everyone is treating him like a Prince, so, essentially like he’s a god. He decides to see how far he can go, test the limits of his power, and throws a servant off a balcony and tries to rape one of the women of court. Naturally, the King and the guard drug him some more and lock him back up in the tower. When the Prince wakes, he thinks it was all a dream. Then he has this awesome monologue where he realizes that he can’t tell the difference between reality and dream because they both seemed too real to him. The soliloquy here is to Spanish theatre what Hamlet’s “to be or not to be” soliloquy is to English theatre. “Yo sueño que estoy aquí destas prisiones cargado, y soñé que en otro estado más lisonjero me vi. ¿Qué es la vida? Un frenesí. ¿Qué es la vida? Una ilusión, una sombra, una ficción, y el mayor bien es pequeño; que toda la vida es sueño, y los sueños, sueños son.”
“I dream that I am here of these imprisonments charged, and I dreamed that in another state happier I saw myself. What is life? A frenzy. What is life? An illusion, A shadow, a fiction, And the greatest profit is small; For all of life is a dream, And dreams, are nothing but dreams.”
The Prince is soon freed by rebels, and comes to the conclusion that, although he cannot tell the difference between dream and reality, he knows which one he likes better, and that is life at the palace, so he chooses that and decides that even if it is a dream, he is going to enjoy it while it lasts. The play is essentially about not taking life for granted – we pass through it as though it were a dream and it passes much too quickly. Instead, we need to seize the day, take chances.
But anyways, excuse my geekiness. It just really struck me how much it was like Dean’s situation here, where he had lost track of which was reality.
And I must say, you are doing an amazing job of taking us through Dean’s trauma and his long healing process. Beautifully done. I really have no words. ;-) maybe I just ran out.
And I haven’t been not reviewing, I actually just started reading this story today. I’ll review again when I’ve finished reading another chunk of chapters :-D Author's Response: Wow, thanks so much – I’m not familiar with that play at all but it does sound very similar to the ‘illusion’ the Benders constructed for Dean in the first story in this ’verse [The Woods are Lonely, Dark and Deep]. And being back in the place where it happened certainly makes Dean susceptible to confused realities, as you will see when you read on. I’d loe to know what you think! :-D |
