Date: 03/06/08 Title: Chapter 12: Chapter 12 Fantastic! I'm happy to wind this one up, too. Not that I want to see Peg and Floss get gone, but i did want to see the evil hag get her due :) I love how you made Dean the one who's great with children and babies. that was a touching scene where Sam is so relieved to hand over Oscar and he quiets right down when Dean holds him. this line gave me great big belly laughs: Peg cradled the baby in her arms and turned to face Floss, a slight smile pulling at the corners of her mouth. "These boys faint more than a nun at an orgy." What wonderful characters you write. I've enjoyed this story tremendously. Thanks Kel! --cricket
Author's Response: hehehehe, I think that line's been written in my notebook since I started the story ;) I've just been waiting for the right place to use it. So glad you've enjoyed and I'll catch you soon - Kel Summary:
Sam is plagued by multiple visions of Dean burning alive, leading the brothers into a dangerous hunt that could have dire repercussions for the young psychic. Set just before the Season 2 episode Roadkill

Date: 25/02/08 Title: Chapter 9: Epilogue Oh, I love the way you write the complex relationship between Sam and Dean. You really capture it so well. This was a wonderful story, I really enjoyed it. Thanks so much. -- c Author's Response: Thank you so much for that. Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for the review. It really means a lot to me...Jules Summary:

Date: 10/03/08 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 Whew! I was having some serious doubts about this story when I thought Dean was dead!! Just kidding. Wonderfully written. And a nice, happy ending. Kinda like the bow on a present. :) --c Summary:
This story takes place immediately after my story "To The Rescue" and incorporates "Sword and Shield." Dean and Sam discover why Mary apologized to Sam during the Episode "Home." Katric, my Beta! You are the best and when everyone notices the definite improvement to my writing, it's all due to you. Banner by bulletbabe - more thanks than I can express!

Date: 12/03/08 Title: Chapter 12: Chapter 12 I'm so caught up in this one, hanging on every word. Of course, I say the same thing with every story of yours that I read! I love the way you write Sam and Dean. And most everything else, too! Thanks :) Thank you so much. I am really glad that you are enjoying it. That chapter was a pleasure to write and came about very easily. I wish I could say the same for them all. I'm especially happy that you like my Sam and Dean. I work very hard on keeping those two as true as possible within the confines of my story. Thanks again.

Date: 12/03/08 Title: Chapter 12: Chapter 12 Ahh, I loved this one so much, I had to go through it again. I love your fantastic imagery: The heavy tears made the dark brown of his eyes look like deep pools of chocolate. And I really love how you allow Sam to grow up and take some of the load off of Dean. He's more like an equal now, than a helpless little brother. --c Author's Response: Wow, that's a compliment. I usually read them more than once but that's because I have to. My son has those eyes when he cry (lord, he'd be killing me right now if he knew I was saying this) and they get me every time. Sam has to grow up eventually - I wish the show would allow him to also. I don't necessarily believe in the nuclear family (meaning one mom, one dad and kid) but I do believe that kids need more than one person nurturing them - does matter who the others are as long as they are healthy for the kid. I think a Dean/Sam combo would be a very healthy environment - you know, after you remove the spirits, vampires, werewolves, and demons. Thanks for reading and for the review. I really enjoy reading them and they make me feel happy!

Date: 22/03/08 Title: Chapter 13: Chapter 13 First off, ditto everything that Birdy wrote in her review. wow, how to follow that! I simply love your writing style. Yes it's long, yes it's drawn out, but that really gives so much more insight into the boys and their motivations. It allows them to grow so far beyond the characters in the show. They're expanding and changing with the times just like people do in real life. Sam's getting so much more insight into the challenges his father faced while raising two boys while still hunting, not just one little seraphim! And Dean, well he just gets the whole enchilada -- he's got to be the decision-maker and not a wild and crazy guy anymore. I love the quiet one-on-one chats he has with Ben late at night. Oh, and the way you write dialogue -- it's a gift. sigh. *green with envy* Can't wait for next week (hopefully) to read the next installment. You've got me good and hooked! -- cricket Author's Response: You guys keep praising me like this and I'm going to get a swelled head. I am so flattered and honored by what's said. Really kind of freaks me out because for me there just something I've written. Dialogue's always been easy for me, it's the rest that I struggle with. It's also so easy to write these characters because they are so well developed on the show. I'm just drawing from what's already there. Next (and last) chapter is well on it's way and should be finished very shortly - some time next week, I promise. Thank you so much. I am truly humbled and honored! Summary:
Sam Winchester's ideal Friday night out: moonlit Arizona desert, a flesh-eating monster, and Dean stuck up a tree. Categories: One Shots, Action, Humor Characters: None Challenges: Series: None Chapters: 1 Completed: Yes Word count: 2452 [Report This] Published: 09/02/08 Updated: 09/02/08

Date: 23/03/08 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 Loved this! Specially this graf: There’s something ridiculously cool about scaling a seven-foot gate like that, reminiscent of action heroes and spy movies and Sunday afternoons in the backseat of the car, arguing with Dad about the outcome of a pitched battle between James Bond and Ethan Hunt. So nice, I read it twice. Well, four or five times, and once out loud. --c Author's Response: *glee* Thank you! Summary: Sam is determined to save Dean. And Dean is determined not to be saved.

Date: 09/03/08 Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 6 Wonderful story. I read it straight through, no stopping, you had me hooked. You do the angsty-emotional overload stuff so very well! --c Summary:
After a bit of a bop on the head, Dean's not quite sure who he is! I wanted to do something that is about Dean's sweet and vulnerable side, that would hopefuly be funny too! Here's my attempt, hope you like it!
Thanks Kripke for the loan of your lovely boys, you genius of a man you! HunterGirls - sweet dreams for you all I hope! Geekster - Dean/Dan/shagmonkeys for you!

Date: 05/04/08 Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 6 Bobby. I'm really loving this story. The line in the flashback where Dean peels the limpet that is Sam off his side is a perfect description. I've always thought that scared kids seem to multiply their hands as they try to cling to yo! LOL. Can't wait to read the rest.. --c Author's Response: Christine. Hey hunny, many thanks for coming to review, have seen that very sweet penname in the shout but I always seem to be arriving as you've left! So very pleased to make your aquaintance. I'm glad you liked the flashback bit, always worry about getting sentimental but I do think Dean is just such a wonderful 'Dad' to Sammy and I wanted to show that here. just got the last chapter to write now so hope you'll hang with me for that. Thanks again and give Strider (cool doggie!) a pet from me. Bev xx Summary:

Please, please, I'm praying that they get back together in this one! :) --c Author's Response: We shall see Cricket...lol Glad you're enjoying this so far and I'll do my best not to dissapoint.

Date: 16/03/08 Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8 Ohhh! This is so frustrating! Makes me want to whack Dean on the head with a 2x4. Sigh. Must .. Hang .. On .. Can't wait to see this one through to the end :) Hm... whacking Dean on the head, huh, I should give that a try, save us all this pesky angst...lol. Glad you're enjoying - Kel

Date: 24/03/08 Title: Chapter 9: Chapter 9 Oh, poor, poor Brian. I had a sinking feeling the minute Dean and Sam entered the garage and the alarm was off. And a nice, semi-cliffhanger ending. I'm near the edge of my seat (but not all the way there yet!) waiting to see what's wrong with Sara ... you've been building up to this for some time now, and something's not right, and it's all Greg's fault, i just know it! You had the hook in my mouth from Chapter 1, and now you're just slowly reeling me in! thanks Kel! --c Author's Response: Not yet there huh? Well I'll have to see if I can do something about that ;) Glad you're enjoying - Kel

Date: 29/03/08 Title: Chapter 10: Chapter 10 Oh!! Alrighty Kel, you've got me on the edge of my seat now!! Poor Sara ... Evil mother-in-law! The whole toothbrush conversation with Jess had me cracking up ... can't wait to find out what kind monster Greg is. well, I hope it's Greg, cause if not, you've sure done a good job at misdirection. hanging on ever word kel! --c Author's Response: Hey just remember if you come to visit don't leave your toothbrush lying around ;) Despite the number of times I've tried to convince my daughter otherwise she still insists that toothbrushes should be communal...lol. Glad you're enjoying - Kel

Date: 08/04/08 Title: Chapter 11: Chapter 11 OH, how evil! to end it with 'Mwahaaahaaaa..." Now with Greg gone, the only creature I suspect of causing all the harm is ..... the monster-in-law!!! Three more chapters ... you're killing me -- but it's a happy death. -- cricket Author's Response: LOL, yeah well you all only have yourselves to blame, you were much to willing to blame the bad mojo on Greg...couldn't let you all think you had the baddie nailed. ;) Glad you enjoyed and try not to go to the great beyond yet...lol.

Date: 19/04/08 Title: Chapter 12: Chapter 12 Oh you with the mini-cliffhangers! with an ending like this you've definitely still got my interest! The pacing is just fine. I love the quiet moments between sara and dean, just as the great brother moments between the boys. You write them so vividly, it's as if they're in the same room with me acting out the scenes. so, no worries that my interest will wane!! can't wait to read the next chapter ... -- cricket Author's Response: How nice is it to know people enjoy, Sara and don't see her as an intrusion between the men. So glad you're enjoying. Thanks for the wonderful review - Kel

Date: 24/04/08 Title: Chapter 13: Chapter 13 There were so many things I loved about this chapter. Where to begin ...? First of all, Tinkerbell with fangs? That line had me howling with laughter ... Then the whole Dean-Sara angst had me tearing up. I particularly like the description of their dance, and how their steps are faltering. It was a beautiful metaphor. I loved the conversation between Sam and Sara, too. You've put me on an emotional rollercoaster, but I'm loving it. Can't wait to see how this ends. I've got my fingers crossed on a few things. :) -- cricket
Author's Response: lol, so glad you enjoyed the TInkerbell with Fangs...and I mean come on, I have to put a little Dean-Sara agnst in there or it wouldn't be any fun now would it...lol. I will get the update up just as soon as I figure out where the heck I'm heading ;)

Date: 06/05/08 Title: Chapter 14: Chapter 14 Wowzers! can't wait to read the climactic ending, kel! this has been a great ride, from the start, and i'm practically jumping up and down to get to the end (it's like a big present, all wrapped up nice and pretty, with a huge red bow on the top). --cricket Author's Response: LOL, so glad I could deliver it Cricket. I'm working on the end as we speak. Thanks for the kind words ;)

Date: 12/05/08 Title: Chapter 15: Chapter 15 Great, big wonderful Jack. I've always wanted a St. Bernard to come rescue me -- though instead of brandy in the cask around his neck, i would request chocolate. another amazing chapter. i'm looking forward to the ending to wrap it all up with a nice big bow. i love how sam finally told dean the truth about gordon's death. i hope he now can see how strong sara really is and stop being such a doofus and get back together with her!! *hint hint hint* i love how you write sara, a strong capable woman, who doesn't take an s***! Looking forward to the ending! :) --cricket Author's Response: LOL, yeah chocolate would work better for me too... hm.. I'll have to consider hooking him up this winter when we're out sledding. What fun ;)

Date: 25/05/08 Title: Chapter 16: Chapter 16 Oh, Kel ... Fredo was right. So much of what i love about your stories are the fantastic details. this was long and i loved every last word. The interaction with Sara's brother was lovely, and Bobby and Sam ganging up on Dean to try to knock some sense into him was beautifully written. I love how you ended this chapter with Dean curled up with Jack, both offering and taking comfort. Really looking forward to the next chapter, and if it isn't the end, great! that just means more wonderful writing to read. :) --cricket Author's Response: I'm so glad you agree, but I've learned Fredo's always right ;).....lol. Seriously don't know how much more there is, but I'm thinking it won't be too much longer. Thanks for all the support - Kel

I love how you write the relationship between Dean and Sara. I can't wait for you to wrap it all up and I'm looking forward to Sam's time in the confession booth! --cricket Author's Response: Come on, Cricket, you know you'd hold on tight if you had the chance...lol.

Date: 02/06/08 Title: Chapter 18: Chapter 18 Oh Kel! I can now die a happy woman. well, not quite yet. What a wonderful ride. I enjoyed this story from start to finish. I know it's going to be one of those that I go back to again and again, just cause it's so great. this part had me drooling: There Dean stood, his legs clad in an old pair of jeans, his feet every bit as bare as his chest as he ran a hand through his short wet hair. Clean shaven and looking better than any man had a right to look, Sara couldn’t have dragged her gaze from him if she’d wanted. Truth be told, she definitely didn’t want to. I love that you put Dean and Sara back together where they belong. And the part where she distracts Dean so Sam doesn't have to 'fess up right away was a hoot! And I laughed my socks at the image of Sam apologizing to the Impala! All in all, a simply marvelous story. I really, really enjoy your writing. Thanks so much for taking us on such a fantastic journey. -- cricket
Author's Response: lol, glad I got it done for you Cricket... ;) What is it with you guys and Dean's bare feet...lol... that seems to be a favorite image. Thanks for the support and I'll see you around the site - Kel Summary:
