Date: 01/04/08 Title: Chapter 9: Epilogue I'm very impressed. I enjoyed this story through and through, even though you killed off Sam in the end. LOL It was beautifully written. I was dreading the end I think, cause I just knew in the back of my head there was no way the boys would get a fairy tale ending. But the way you wrote it was perfect. Nice emotional touches, and Dean being the only one there with Sam at the end was just right on the spot. thanks, I'm looking forward to reading more of your work. --c Author's Response: Thankyou for the kind review. I'm glad you liked it. I wasn't too sure about the ending, but I couldn't really give the boys the fairytale ending. Glad you liked. Summary:

Date: 20/03/08 Title: Chapter 1: Bunnies and Chicks Oh my my my. I'm reading this at work, and somebody has put out PEEPS on one of the cubicle ledges. Now I'm looking at them sideways :) Funny, funny story. Thanks for the great big belly laughs. --c Author's Response: Thank you, CricketBee. I'm so very happy to hear you enjoyed the story! I've no idea why, but putting the boys in comedic situations is sooo much fun. Summary: The day of the deal is upon Sam and Dean. This is my take on what happens. I don't do deathfics so there is no need to worry there.

Date: 01/04/08 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2 Wow, another fantastic story by one of my favorite authors. You made my heart break for Dean, and poor, poor Sammy. The angst and the emotions were overwhelming. I'm going to have to go back and read this again a few times, just to glean every subtle nuance and flavor from your wonderful prose. But had to let you know what I was thinking after the first run-through ... *WOW* yeah, you've reduced me to single syllable words -- again. --cricket Author's Response: You flatter me - thank you. I'm honored that you would read anything I write more than once, no greater compliment. Thank you. Summary: When Sam Oliver receives two vessels, he finds himself in competition with demon hunters Sam and Dean Winchester to send an escaped soul back to Hell. So that's one vessel accounted for. Who's the other one meant for? Supernatural / Reaper crossover.

Date: 25/03/08 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 This was excellent! I've only caught one episode of Reaper, but I enjoyed it. You had me howling with laughter more than a few times, which is tricky to do at work I must say. Ken Doll and Catalog Guy! Fantastic. And the Gloria Gaynor karaoke reference was utter perfection!!! --c Author's Response: Glad you liked it! Reaper can be a little formulaic at times, but once you get over that and don't expect it to be another SN it's really quite an enjoyable show! Summary: Dean has only ever made one choice to help control the chaos of his world.

Lovely Banner by Manavie On a simple haunting case, Dean is attacked and learns that the smallest thing can lead to utter disaster. HURT! Dean. Protective, angsty Sam.

Date: 12/07/08 Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8 Oh you cruel woman. I got behind on writing reviews and I come back to this! I could practically hear you in the background cackling "Mwahahahaha..." as you left me clinging to the keyboard. Another great emotional roller coaster Muffy. You really make our two boys come to life, your characterizations are so vivid and intense. I really loved this passage, it's so descriptive and really draws you in: A soft coolness spread through his body. Dean let his eyes close again. Sam’s hand was still on his forehead. He could feel his brother’s hand trembling. The voice was still there, screaming, demanding that he finish what he’d started, telling him over and over that he’d failed. Pain flared in his hand. He moaned, the coolness spread again, the light was fading, the voice, the other screams, filling his head. Dean could hear bits of conversation around him. Sam’s voice, panicked, full of tears, another voice, deep, with a slight accent. The owner of that voice was consoling his brother. Pain flared again. Quiet anxious voices, darkness crept a little closer. OK, on to the last bit. --cricket Author's Response: Thank you so much! Sorry about sneaking stories in one you *evil chuckle* but this way you got it all at once :D Thank you so much for your kind words., Characterization is always so important, and I do worry that I've missed something. Hearing I have them right is one of the absolute highest compliments I can think of! Hugs

Date: 12/07/08 Title: Chapter 9: Chapter 9 Wonderful story Muffy, I really enjoyed it start to finish. I liked how the flashback part helped Sam figure out how to help poor delirious Dean. Talking trees (a little Lord of the Rings influence?) It's lines like these that I love cause they really show the close bond our boys have: Sam was talking. Dean listened, letting his brother’s voice calm the panic stirring in his chest. He could peg most of his brother’s moods and this one looked a lot like “guilt is killing me” Sam. And then I have to say: EWWWWW As he waited, he pulled strips of skin off his hand. “That’s just gross,” Sam said, walking in. “It itches.” Dean heard the whine in his voice. “And it’s peeling.” What a fantastic story Muffy, I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Thanks for the ride. -- cricket Author's Response: Thank you so much, Cricket. Sorry about the ewww factor. I was assured that was a guy thing to do LOL. (Not that I did it, nope). I'm so glad you liked this one! I love it when a story comes together this well, and I'm so please about it. A cat bite got it started ('cause when you're in the ER what else do you think of but the boys?) and then the story title from Dennis and Feral was born!

Date: 25/04/08 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 What a wonderful start to what I know will be a fantastic story. Your description at the beginning had me sighing in pleasure. I've never been to Montana, nor seen the Rockies, but the whole intro painted a vivid picture in my mind. Loved this: It was that wall, there in the distance, that rose from nothing and reached for the heavens. The sheer glee of the boys playing around in the pool came through loud and clear in your writing. I could just picture them clowning around. This one had me laughing out loud: “Aren’t you worried he’ll drown?” The blond said while watching Dean hold Ben under water. “He can hold his breath for a long time.” And you capped it off with a beautiful conversation between Ben and Dean. I love how you show the difficulties Dean has answering Ben's questions and how he's handling fatherhood with such grace. Looking forward to the rest of your story. --cricket Author's Response: cricket, I've driven that stretch of road once. Having grown up at the foot of the Cascades I was shocked at the difference in the Rockies. The Cascades have endless foothills that slowly build until you have a mountain. The Rockies have foothills but they aren't as numerous as the Cascades and it literally looks like a wall. And the sky there....wow, they call it big sky country for a reason. I'm glad that the bit in the pool worked. Wasn't sure about it but I liked it. Thank you so much for your comments. I really apprecaite it. Kim

Date: 30/04/08 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2 Oh boy! Poor Dean! Can't wait to read how you get Sam and Ben to rescue him. Or maybe he rescues himself ... I loved this passage: Ben had discovered the last time he went camping with his father and his uncle that he truly loved being outdoors. ... Dean and Sam could do the campground thing, but once they got on the trails, they moved. They moved far and they moved fast. ... Like with all things the older two did, Ben liked the challenge of keeping up with them. It's the little touches like this and the conversation about how tall Ben was going to get that gives such great insights about Ben and his relation with his dad and uncle. I'm really enjoying this story, even if you did leave me hanging off a cliff! :) -- cricket
Author's Response: Sorry about the cliff but I keep saying, the chapters have to end somewhere. I wish I could write it all in one massive go and not have to take breaks. I get little enough sleep as it is, writing 24 hours a day just might do me in. I like the little things between the three of them. They seem important to me. Thanks for reading and for the reviews. I really appreciate it.

Date: 05/05/08 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3 Wow! this is going to a really dark place. but i have faith in you that all our boys will make it through this! sheeesh, it's gonna be a painful journey i'm sure. the pacing of this chapter was brutal, it had me almost panting, trying to keep up, and then i had to stop a few times and run around the room, going "oh my, oh my, oh my." but it's ok, my husband already knows i'm nuts. -cricket Author's Response: cricket, You have faith in me? That's awesome. Of course, I've never broken anyone permanently, yet. You make me laugh. Sometimes I wish I could run around while I'm writing but my husband would have me committed. I'm so glad that this worked for you. I'll now confess that I was a little uneasy this chapter. Thanks for reading and for the review. Kim

Date: 07/05/08 Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4 AMAZING! i actually jumped in my seat with those last three words! oh my gawd, girl, i think you're trying to kill me. Can somebody actually die from a cliffhanger? this was another fantastic chapter. had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. the imagery was vivid, the action fast-paced. Poor Sam! Poor Ben! Poor, poor hurt Dean! Can't wait to see more! MORE MORE MORE MORE! --cricket Author's Response: criket. Let's not find out. Funny enough that part was supposed to be the beginning of the next chapter but it worked too well as an ending/cliff hanger. I do love my cliff hangers but I stand by my position that chapters have to end somewhere. I'm working on more as quickly as I can. Thank you so much. Kim

Date: 12/05/08 Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5 WOW. another amazing chapter. my heart was in my throat the whole time Ben was lost in the cave. but you got them all off the mountain more or less in one piece, WHEW! The interaction between sam and dean over parenting is fantastic. you really show new facets to their characters, and they keep growing and evolving along with the changes in their lives. i love it! --cricket Author's Response: Thank you so much. In more or less one piece was my goal so I must have done well. Again, thanks so much.

Date: 26/05/08 Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 6 Oh Kim, this is great!!!! an 11-year-old boy with the wiggles must be a hooooot! i love the way you write a bored Ben, it made me laugh out loud almost the whole way through! and the ending, with Dean convulsing in laughter as Sam is totally exasperated was fantastic! the interaction between the three males is utterly wonderful, and a giant part of what i love about your Ben stories! Looking forward to where you take us next. :) --cricket Author's Response: Thank you so much. I loved writing the little monster myself. He is a joy and I'm glad the humor worked. I think we've all been driven a little crazy by a bored kid at some time during our lives (or a bored adult - works the same). I'm working a lot faster on the next chapter so the wait won't be anywhere near as the wait for this one was. Thank you for reading and for the review. I really appreciate it. Kim

Date: 13/06/08 Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8 Oh, Kim, what a wonderful journey this has been. I love your ben stories, each one showing the ever evolving relationship between the three boys. dean growing and changing as a father, sam coming to realize how much ben means to him, and ben himself taking in grand concepts about life, the universe and everything, while still remaining an annoying, amazing. young boy. the way you write these characters is fantastic. i really enjoyed the conversation at the end between eugene and ben where he reinforces previous conversations ben's had with dean about making choices. you could almost see the lightbulb going off in ben's head as understanding begins to dawn. I loved this story from start to finish, and I know I'll be going back to read it again and again -- just like i do with several of your ben braeden stories! Thanks for the journey, Kim, and i'm looking forward to where we go next. --cricket Author's Response: Cricket, Thank you so much. When people tell me that they are going to read my stories more than once, it means everything to me! Everything! I didn't expect this thing with Ben to become such a major part of my writing but he has completely taken over for me. When I started it all it was an attempt to look into Dean and Sam, not a story about Dean being a dad. I hope it is still working that way. The most I hope for when it comes to Ben is that he will always read the age he is. I hope that I am able to continue to do that as more Ben stories develop and Ben gets older. Thanks for your reviews. Thanks for reading. I am so appreciative of the time and effort. Kim Summary:
If you're determined enough, there isn't anything you can't fix...

Date: 30/04/08 Title: Chapter 1: One Shot Some really great one-sided dialogue in this! "I’m sorry as hell but as for making the deal, I’ll never be sorry for bringing you back. You’re the best part of me Sam.” "You should see it Sam. There’s so much black on my lily white ass that you could play checkers on it.” I really loved this one shot! -- c Author's Response: Thank you. I'm a Sam girl but I do love writing Dean. I mean, there's so much fun to be had and angst of course too. Liz x |
