Hi, hope you're still checking your finished storys for reviews. This one touched me more than I can say!! With Dean having this stroke and the boys struggling through it showes quite clear a stroke in many ways is like fighting an evil force!!

There were dear people in my family suffering strokes and it comes down the way you describe it, while the person is not changing inside, it's a continuing and painful struggle - mostly for dignity.

Glad Dean and Sam came out o.k. (this happy ending here still makes me smile) and what an extra goodie to involve the "real" supernatural hunt at the end.

Thanks again so much for this, great work; I'm really looking forward to read more of your storys.

How wonderful, you're back and in an instant I'm right in the middle of it again, great, great chapter, leaves me breathless!!                  

And all the best for your surgery, my mum has hip-operation this Wednesday, too, so I know (a bit) how this feels; take all the time you need, we will wait patiently!!!!

Okay, this is not a cliff anymore, these are the Alps or something similar. I'm now really really scared for Dean. As always you describe the bond these two brothers share in such a wonderful way, it's awesome! Hope, Bobby will be there in time (but also I hope for at least two more chapters!!!). And honestly, I do enjoy your author's notes nearly as much as the story itself, you always make me laugh. Great!

Wow, really liked the chapter and the turn of events; it's such a great story and you sure make my days a lot brighter; can't wait for the next chapter and hope it will be a long one, thanks a million!!!!

Author's Response: Thanks to you a million right back!  I am very happy to know that the crazy thoughts in my head brighten someones day.  Thanks for the read, and I hope you continue to read and enjoy.

How could you stop here? I'm nearly out of my mind, now I'm worried about Dean, Sam and Bobby. God what a great chapter, absolutely love it; you have to update soon, please!!!!

Author's Response: I'm sorry, but if I didn't stop it there, I would have gotten to a point that I just couldn't stop at until it was about 10,000 words long, and that would probably be hard to pay attention to.  I will do my best to post the rest soon, I promise. (In fact, I'm going to work on it right now!)

Dear God, these are some nerve-racking final rounds you are presenting to us, it's like a roller coaster ride (but I love it!). You have to (!!!) update soon and bring Sam back to this room, quick!!

Author's Response: I will do my best to not keep you hanging too long, but you never know.  Just make sure you've got your seatbelt on for the rest of the ride!!

Again, I loved the bathroom-scene and right in the middle you now have the very painful realization for both brothers they're not really able to protect each other (heavy stuff!) and with Trent back in play - this man is so scary - and Dean's life still in danger, there won't be any rest for me, this is so good!!!

Author's Response: You are so right, as hard as they try, sometimes they just can't protect one another from all the evils of thw world.  I'll try to get it up fast, but I can't promise...sometimes real life just sucks!

I hope you have to toss in a lot more chapters, I really don't want to see this story end too soon, so this is perfectly allright with me; really liked the chapter, a lighter one to catch your breath and with this wonderful Bobby scene in it ("...the look in his eyes that gave him away...", loved that) and still you always can feel that there is something very nasty ahead. Definetely liked it! Another thing I know now for sure, I wouldn't want to have physical therapy ever, didn't sound like fun.

Author's Response:

Do you want those chapters with pain or more showers?  Maybe Sam needs one too...(a shower, I mean!)

Unfortunately, this story has to end eventually...I have many more nasty ideas floating around in my head that need to be put on paper once this one's finished...but not too quickly, I guess.  There are still a few nasties in this one yet.

How could you stop here? This really was mean and honestly I have no nails left to bite! Trent is back and Dean is hurt again, bad I'm afraid. I want Sam to come back, at least Bobby was suspicious, so they hopefully will return in time. Great one!!

Author's Response:

I'm sorry...I just had to stop there!  Relax for just a minute or two, Dean's not hurt...not yet anyway.  (Well, technically I guess he is, he just doesn't know it yet).  Now, the next chapter may be another story... 

Wished Dean once wouldn't be this stubborn and tell Sam or Bobby something is wrong and he's in pain; it's obvious why Julia and Mark didn't come, but where is everybody else, it's a damn hospital (shouldn't be surprised so, hospitals!!). With a new message from Trish on top of everything this situation is getting more frightening every second, so please (!) bring Sam and Bobby back before Dean does anything stupid to be part of the rescue-mission (he will try for sure). GREAT UPDATE!

Author's Response:

Aw come on, what could be cuter then stubborn Dean?  You're right about the hospitals too, as we've already discussed. 

I'm just gonna say too that you really should know by now that Sam and Bobby aren't going tobe able to stop Dean from doing anything stupid because that's just the way that I am. (I know you knew that already...come on, I'm evil, remember?)

Ha ha, just kidding.  Anyway...thanks as always for putting a smile on my face.

So not too much or too slow, I don't think I will sleep at all tonight, can't calm down after reading this. A descent into hell, as first Julia's tortures continued and Trent insane to a feral extent, absolutely frightening!; and now Dean (violently ill again) is on his way to stop Trent and rescue Julia, alone (!!), didn't expect this, hoped Sam and Bobby would be with him to confront Trent but I'm not so sure anymore they can make it in time, what a dread! A heartbeat chapter!!

(A detail I really enjoyed here was Trish telling Dean that Sam wore his jacket to find some comfort, lovely thought!)

If Trent wouldn't be already on my list of the most horrible persons ever, he'd certainly be now, top position; kind of think something was terribly wrong with him right from the start, some people are evil, rotten to the core. Absolutely makes me sick to see what he does to Dean - where's Sam??? and how will he be able to find Dean (trapped in the "perfect hideout"), some cliffhanger and a marvellous chapter!!

Your muse never left you, very good chapter (oh and while it is a male on, could he look by any chance a bit like Dean? If I had one, mine sure would). Loved the little chat Sam had with Isabel to find out what happened to his brother; very well done, shows how much he also cares for his brother. I very much hope the two will be reunited very soon, it's always easier for them wehn they're together and it would certainly be better for my nerves.

Meanwhile I'm still counting on Bobby, he has quite a weight on his shoulders with this hunt but I'm sure he will find a way to help.

So, please go on with writing, hope to read the next chapter very soon.
