About time I updated this again....

I am happily late 40-something, and work in accounts - I'm happy playing with numbers. They don't lie.... 

It has always been my dream to write - I remember being praised for a story in English class in Grade 4. I was about 9 or 10 years old.

But then real life got in the way - job, marriage, and all the rest, and writing became something I did occasionally, and not very seriously.

And then, along came Supernatural. And the Supernatural.tv website, and the fanfic forums. And as I browsed, I wondered...could I really have a crack at this? So I did, and I am loving it.

Some people paint, some people do quilting or patchwork, others knit - I write. Re-discovering a passion that I had buried for just over 20 years has been fun, scary, and rewarding. And the reviews make it all worthwhile. Keep them coming - they are precious gold.

I'm pretty consistent about a few things - if I start a story I will finish it, I don't like to have more than one story going at a time, and I tend to stick to three writing rules:

No Wincest
No Deathfics
I love to play with your minds

Finally, a huge thank you to all who have supported me over the past four and a bit years. Winning The Kripke award three times running means more to me than you could ever know, and thanks just doesn't even begin to describe the feeling I have in my heart.

And to all whose stories I have enjoyed, and whose talent has inspired me to push beyond my comfort zone and aim high, bless you and thank you for sharing your gifts and your stories. I continue to be amazed and humbly gratified by the quality and diversity of tales on this site.

Huge thanks to Chasidern, my own auntie Chris - for all of my beautiful story banners, and for glueing my awards banners together to make the page nice and neat.  

Bless you all,

Jules.

Proudly Australian

Oh, and in case anyone is wondering - the first flag in the banner below is the official state flag for my home state of Queensland, the middle one is of course the Australian flag, and the third is the Eureka Stockade flag, because I'm a bit of a rebel at times.

Very nice finish. Loved that the rattling sound is still going on - my poor Dean...

Hope you write another one - this one was fun.



Author's Response:

Ta very much for reading and leaving a comment!

I am planning another one... but usually these plans turns into 3 weeks of jotting down random moments and then one night settling in with a lot of vodka or Purple Nurples and banging it all out on my trusty Mac.

Nice way to excise the week, and of course it's fun to play with The Boys, LOL

Thanks again!

Thank you for that - I really enjoyed that little moment.

I got that image in my head of Dean sitting on a cupcake (somehow) and it just wouldn't go away; it made me giggle too.  I HAD to figure out a way to build a birthday story around it.

I'm so very glad to hear you liked it and found it hilarious.  Thank you so much for reading and reviewing.

I missed this one Kris - glad you're posting it here so I can catch up. And it doesn't matter to me whether it was an early one or not - you know I love your writing hon.

Ooh, great start - especially with Sam's vision being cut off like that - fun times ahead! And had to have a bit of a giggle over Sam being kicked out of the library because the old prune wants to go to lunch - LOL!

Awesome - sitting here with my trusty can of Pepsi, waiting patiently for the next update.

Ooh - wonder if it had something to do with the stun gun effect that Dean is now privy to Sam's visions. dun,dun,dunnnnn.....

Taken out by a couple of teenage girls - *snicker* - poor Sammy... And I loved that thought of Dean's - about needing a hell of a lot more rock salt - priceless.

Great work, hon - obviously the updated editing is working? Well, I liked it....*hugs* ....Jules

“I’d like to phone a friend,”

I love that line. And huh! You're back! I may have to resort to poking you if you forget again. I was just thinking about this story last night, when I was scooting through trying to decide on nominations for the awards. And I wondered whether you'd get back to it. I'm glad you have, hon.

So now the boys really do see the other side of the coin on the visions - Sam gets to see the fallout and why Dean looks so worried, and Dean gets to experience the pain and disorientation of the vision itself, so he now understands why Sam looks like death warmed over once the vision ends.

And visions of Sam's death aside, all those ghosts combining into one humungous putrid cloud can't be good. Ooh - I have another installment to read...rubs hands together in glee...Jules

Gone? Gone?!?!? Oh, crap....that's not good....

Poor Dean, he's really being hammered by these visions. And he really freaked when it looked like the main one was coming true.

Heh - wonder what Miranda said to the cops to get them to chase off after her? Hope she won't get into too much trouble over it.

So it is Tony who has united the spirits. But how the hell did his remains disappear? Did he do it? Or is there another player in the mix that the boys don't know about?

Aww, and flipping John not ringing back all the time. No wonder the boys argue when his name comes up.

Hope to see you back soon, Kris. Love the meaty bits, hon.

Oh, dear - Dean's memory needs re-booting. This is going to be a hoot.

I started reading this ages ago, but I lost track of it somehow. Came across it in my travels the other week and made a mental note to get back to it. Amazingly, I remembered!

Loved Sam's confusion at his blank-slate brother's behaviour, the hug, the questions about his clothes - lol. And that was a really sweet line, actually, when Dean said he hadn't remembered Sam being his brother but he knew Sam was important. Awwwwww.........I feel all warm and fuzzy.....

Reading on,

Jules



Author's Response:

Hiya Jules.

I'm so pleased you're reading this one. I know it's not perfect but it was a story I really enjoyed writing and I have a soft spot for. 

I think sweet, sappy Dean is adorable, makes you wanna protect him doesn't it?

So sad that he didn't remember the Impala, but his reaction to her was funny - and the Harley. I could hear his child-like enthusiasm - lol.

And then the hunter emerged at the sight of the weapons cache - just in time to give his poor doctor the fright of his life! Thank heavens for Sam and the fatigue.

Loved Sam's quick save, and Dean's snark at the end.

Jules

Hmm, it's coming back to Dean in dribs and drabs - more like habits than memories, though. Still, it's an improvement....even though he seems to have fallen in love with the psychedelic curtains.

That was sweet how he got up in the middle of the night because things weren't right - waking Sam to swap beds.

Jules



Author's Response:

When I was writing this one I was talking a lot to a very dear friend who had just had a really bad head injury and he would ring me in the middle of the night to ask the strangest questions. It was tragic but funny at the same time. Some of Dean's behaviors here were his.

Oh, poor, sweet, befuddled Dean! Fancy having a predatory waitress - LOL.

It was a touching moment when Dean admitted that he was too unsure to answer Sam's mobile, worried that he wouldn't remember who was on the other end and being a bit embarrassed by his current condition.

But I wonder if he might start to remember some more when he finally sees their old friend and surrogate father.

Touching and a teeny bit sad too, when Sam asked Dean to call him bitch...*sniffle*...

And goodness me, fresh veggies and milk? The inner Dean must be going crazy! LOL

Could feel Sam's reluctance to crush his delicate brother, and his own horror at reliving two of the most painful events of their lives.

But Dean wanted to know - had to know, to be able to fight his way out of the fog that is wrapped around his mind. Full marks to Sam for handling it as well as he did.

The laughter at the end was unexpected, especially since it looked like they were gearing up for one of their usual fights - lol.

And the bitch at the finish gives me hope that Dean is returning. Even though I'm going to miss sweet, innocent Dean.

Oh, and we're back to the pool! LOL! Poor, sweet befuddled Dean has returned after being bonked on his poor head again. He's gunna need the good painkillers!

Loved the teasing, especially about the boots. Ah, if only they hadn't been so far away, they could have gone back to the diner - the waitress bringing Dean another glass of milk would really have cinched things for him, wouldn't it? *chortles*....

Thanks, Bev. Sorry it took me so long to get to this.

"Dean had seen the look on Bobby's face, never understanding the pain in those eyes when Bobby looked at Dean, never realizing that Bobby saw the beautiful broken boy in the broken man before him. The lost child behind the man's eyes, struggling to live up to impossible expectations and willing to sacrifice something he considered worthless for the sake of a life he considered beyond price."

I have to say - out of a multitude of beautiful and touching lines, that one just stood out from all the rest. You have perfectly captured the essence of the intriguing puzzle that is Dean Winchester.

We haven't seen that episode yet in Australia, but I have peeked at the clips in the gallery on sn.tv, and I was on the edge of my office chair when I watched the confrontation between Dean and himself. And when that admission came screaming out of him, I thought - finally! Finally, he sees he's worthy of so much more!

I want to say so much more, but I just can't think to put it into words - suffice to say that I loved this tag - loved every piece of it, and I hope you don't mind, but I'd like to print it out to read again and again.

Thank you so very much for sharing this - it is a true gem.....Jules



Author's Response: I'm very flattered. The scene when he confronts himself struck such a chord in me I had to add to it. I'm glad it pleased you.

That was a wonderful moment. We haven't seen MS in Australia yet, but I have peeked at a few clips, and it looks heartbreaking. I had tears in my eyes when I read this, especially at the end when Sam broke, and Dean vowed silently to never leave his side.

That was a wonderful piece, and I hope that you are inspired to write many more.

Thank you for sharing this.....Jules



Author's Response:

Thank you so much for your kind words, I was not expecting this sort of response or even reviews for this! lol.  Truat me you will love MS, easily one of the best episodes to date.

I have a couple of ideas rolling around in my head its just trying to find the time to write thats so hard.

I'm really glad you liked this, especially if it moved you. I can only hope that whatever I write has some sort of effect on people.

But watch out for stuff from me, hopefully appearing here soon

I love how you had Dean so hesitant to go in, but then when he saw the light, there was no turning back. And Fr Reynolds' insights into my favourite hunter were so spot-on and so poignant.

This was a great read, and I'm glad that you decided to venture out and share your talent. Sorry I haven't gotten around to this before, but I'm a bit of a hermit on this site - don't come out of my cave very often. Looking forward to spending a little more time with your stories.....Jules

Thank you for looking over this piece and I would LOVE to hear what you make of any of my other work.

I rate this episode highly - it may not be my all time favorite, but it had so much to say. I am beaming at the fact that you found my Dean insights "spot -on". I am really happy that you enjoyed this, I loved writing it; these kind of topics  just get the wheels turning!!!  :->

As I said before, you are entirely welcome to let me know what you make of my work - even the not so shiny stuff (LOL) - as I find this a helpful way to improve. Appreciate all the kind words and  your time reading and reviewing.

That was just so adorable - and very funny. I can't wait to see where you go with this one.

We hit the ground running - literally, with Dean taking the bolt out of the caverns with his new pint-sized Sammy tucked under one arm, and immediately a dozen questions spring to mind - love it!

And then there were the lovely humourous moments like Sam sliding off the Impala and telling Dean he needs to stop waxing her - lol. The sock, walking around with his adult clothes dragging on his new tiny frame, being dangled by one hand in front of his over-protective big brother, the little whistle when he breathed, and the icing on the cake - wrapping his arms around Dean as the elder brother pulled him from the car.

And Bobby's reaction - ROFL.

Great, great start.
