![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Date: 04/01/09 Title: Chapter 10: Chapter 10 A Stable Somewhere Outside Bethlehem A stable, huh? After the donkey? And then the back pain... well, let's hope Dean doesn't end up as Virgin Mary after all! Just kidding, no one in their right mind would come up with something as twisted... or would they? Well, I obviously did. Does that make me a pervert? Just kidding huns... trying to keep my mind off more serious business at the mo... "You're right. I'm sorry. I'm being an ass!" "No, Dean. It's okay, but if I feel the need to ‘burro' your girlfriend, I'll let you know!" "Well, there's no need to be mulish about it, Dean. You don't have to act like a complete Jackass." Hilarious selection of donkey related jokes. I am desperate for every bit of colloquial English and swearwords... very much appreciated! he could see exhaustion written all over their injured bodies, and the arid remains of his once beating heart went out to them. SEE! I told you he is actually a cousin of Caspar the friendly ghost, lookin' for company and deliverance. face scrunched in agony as the abused muscles spasmed. His back arched suddenly, forcing him heavily backwards, into Sam's chest. Mh yummy. Another wonderfully painful image.... So, is he having spasms from dehydration? Or just the strenuous ride? Oh, just so you know: bucket has been emptied on numerous occasions over these last hours... "Donkey!" "Jackass!" Dean countered, hotly. LOL: Hilarious variation of the usual Bitch/Jerk banter. Love it! the muffled sound of hitching sobs that rocked through his brother's frame OMG. Is he actually crying... like CRYING? Like in the last scene of 4.10? OMG, that means his chin quivers and he tries to fight the treacherous sobs... oh shit, here I go again. I actually worked myself up here this time. ‘Why couldn't I have just completed the goddamn booking confirmation when I should'a done? We'd have been tucked up safe and warm in the Holy Night Inn's best suite, complete with Jacuzz,i having a great time. Would have been a Christmas that Sam could have remembered for all the right reasons for once. Crap, I am such a freakin' screw-up!' ANGST! Oh, Dean. One thing is for sure: you so aren't a screw-up. You are funny, heroic, strong, caring, skilled, brave.... Hell that is a wonderful para again. Dean's self-flagellation obviously knows no bounds... Why, oh why does he think so little of himself?? He felt the sadness, loneliness and need that rolled in waves from the depths of the disembodied eyes. That ghost kind of reflects Dean's innermost feelings in this one instant. Dean feels lonely, sad and needy. He can relate on a very subconscious, primal level to the ghost's real intentions. I guess Dean's instincts are picking up on the ghost's feelings and Dean has learned to trust his instincts... Love this idea! Way to go! Very deep meaning here and awesome writing. Just one line and it means so much more... Santa's sleigh HAHAHAHA! Great idea. Are they gonna have the donkeys pull them to the Impala in the morning? That'd be a nice thing to look forward to! Angel Freakin' Gabriel! Or rather Angel Freakin' Castiel... sorry, had to go there. I miss my favourite angel dearly! Great update and again my favourite topic (angst) is very predominant... either in Sam's or in Dean's thoughts. Loving every single word of this story. Loves ya, Ilka Author's Response: hey ilka oh no hunny we don't do those odd pregnant Dean stories...way too strange! Well keep him as the Virgin Dean! Hope we didn't overdo the donkey jokes and make ass's of ourselves! Heehaw! Jane and Bev xx

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Date: 04/01/09 Title: Chapter 9: Chapter 9 The Little Donkey Girls, jumping right into review as I am still trying to catch my breath from this rollercoaster ride! "S...Stop...gotta ...stop!" "Lemme...down, S...Sammy." Shit he doesn't sound a happy puppy. Stuttering and mumbling. Short of giving up... Sam made sure his eyes brimmed just enough with tears at his next line. Manipulative sonuvabitch! Aw well, it's for Dean's well-being... I can roll with that! Like the younger man was a marionette Well, I accused Sammy of manipulation but I guess Dean knows his way around that too. there was Dean's mortal soul on display for him to see. ... It took the words from Sam's lips with the intensity of feeling he saw there. Those eyes resonated with loss and grief and terror. They were darkened with the knowledge of too many horrors seen and wearied by responsibility beyond their years. They longed for their Mom; the Mom that Dean could actually remember as a person not just a concept. They yearned for something beyond this, beyond hunting with its death and destruction. Yet they didn't think they deserved it. Holy shit. That was unexpected. Such gentleness you put in your words. Not drilling the angst into our hearts by force, simply describing what is apparent in those eyes once they show their true colours. OMG. What are you guys doing to me? This is so far the best part of the story. Man I loved the angst in the last chappie but this here, the emotions it sparks inside me... truly unprecedented. Exactly how I feel when I look in those green orbs.... I say it again. HOLY CRAP. saw beneath the loss, and fear and grief and there was love The perfect way to find hope in this sad, sad part of the chapter. Love is the engine that keeps this man running. Maybe not the love for himself. However, only those who love themselves are truly capable of loving others. Maybe the time while his mum was still alive enabled Dean to love others the way he does. I just wish he would put a little of that love aside for himself. Because, let's face it, he is the most adorable, honourable, handsome, strong, heroic... yadayadayada (I could fill pages with adjectives describing his multi-layer personality) man on TV. He deserves a little love... "Yeah, well no doubt it's a she, then, Dean. Didn't you just say you were irresistible to females?" HEE, thanks for the return of happiness. I was actually worrying there might be none until the next chappie. The donkey sure is a terrific addition to the saves. And hell yeah, I bet all females in the world, at some point in their lives, would fall for Dean Winchester. "Weary traveller riding on a donkey, into Bethlehem...it's all getting a bit too bit biblical for my taste." And we all know how tough it is for Dean to accept religion and the concept of God in his life. He must be squirming inside. LOL. Virgin Mary lol So great. That idea sprang to my mind when I read the title. Dean as the pregnant Virgin Mary... un-freaking-believably funny... HILARIOUS! This chapter came up with a vast variety of emotions... Great. I cried silently (worse than aloud, I must say), laughed happily at the snowball attack and smirked mischievously at the image of Dean sitting bandy-legged across the back of the she-donkey. Thank you Jane and Bev for such a wonderful story... Snogs, Ilka
Author's Response: Hi Ilka Yeah isn't that image of Dean on the donkey a hoot? he's got the bandy legs for it! Heehee. glad you liked it and thanks for your real detailed review as always. Jane and Bev xx

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Date: 04/01/09 Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5 Save Four - The Yule Log Incident Right, ladies. I AM SO HOOKED. Awesome. Still appalled by all the symbolism you've put in here. Didn't know there were so many pagan/Christian rites and traditions surrounding Christmas... Very insightful and sophisticated. OK having said that: Thanks for the massive whumping in this chappie... heehheee, you made this Dean-girl a very happy reader... concentrated on simply placing one foot in front of the other and remaining upright oh jeez. This sure isn't a good sign... Dean is in pain. Mind-numbing, bone-jarring pain. Poor guy... GO ON! MAKE HIM SUFFER EVEN MORE! *picks up drool bucket and reads on* allowing moonlit shafts to pierce through the wavering branches, spotlighting the gossamer fall of snow that continued to drift between the overhanging boughs. Cold, blue light illuminated the billowing clouds of foam spray emanating from the churning waters. Beautiful description! Beautiful... can really see it! Lines of pain creased the pale forehead as fiery tendrils radiated from his swollen knee awh.... hurt!Dean always gets to me... And great choice of words there with the tendrils... Just shoot me before we go, and it'll save a lot of suffering in the long run! And cut us off from all that pleasant pain? NO WAY! So not gonna happen! ‘Oh god, Sammy. I gotta stop soon, please let us stop soon.' Breaking point for Dean straight ahead I reckon. And for my eyes apparently. Going to snatch a few tissues just in case I find I have something in my eyes. *clears throat and pretends to be at ease* as the gasp of pain hissed through his parted lips argh... love and hate that equally. Hm. Poor hero... Dean grit through teeth clenched tight against his desire to scream. uh... *narrowly avoids a compassionate yet treacherous sigh to escape her lips and ruin the fake relaxed composure* Quit talking to me like I'm a freakin' idiot. At least he's got enough energy left to get pissy and bitchy. It's only when he turns uncharacteristically silent that I worry very much for him. But knowing you guys, I am sure it can't be long until he stops talkin'... Christ, this is one awful way for them to celebrate Christmas. Dean's fall. OMG. The scream tore at my heart and made me clutch my chest and gasp... Saw it happen with my mind's eye! Great action and very well-written, too. And that log had a shifty look to it, at least thru Sam's observant eyes. Wonder how badly hurt Dean is now... Unconsciously, he rocked the still form, ..."Dean, please wake up?" OK I know it's far-fetched but it made me think of Sam holding his bro after the hellhound attack. Oh god. That really made me cry and still does... in a silent way. I ache for both of 'em... Everything hurts! And man, must he be in pain to admit that. I feel for him so much right now, I even consider taking a break to compose myself. … No, gotta know how the story goes on... ‘What in hell's name is going on here with all this festive symbolism, rescue crap?' I hear ya Sammy! The only way to find out is to hunt down Jane and Bev and torture them until they refrain from writing more festive hurt and comfort... But honestly, do I want them to do that? NO! So, suck it up Sam and pull through! It's your friggin' job as Winchesters to make us happy! Go, present us with some more hurt/comfort! Right racing on to next chappie, this is one awesome ride... xxx Ilka Author's Response: Hey Ilka. Owh all the hardship Dean is going through isn't bringing you down then hun? heehee as if! Yeah there is a freaky ammount of Christmas symbolism isn't there? Thanks for the review hunny. Jane and Bev xx

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Date: 04/01/09 Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4 Rocking Robin! Girls, you may find I am a bit rambling in this review, just bear with me. I review as I read and you'll find how I live through the twists and turns. Even if I get rambling... some serious peck-age lol... love this! And regarding the giggles, I'd say it's a bit of both. Though I prefer the concussion *snickers viciously* A possessed robin? LMAO... that is even better than were-raccoons or were-guinea pigs. HA! ‘Jason Voorhees' you advertising Friday 13th here? LOL. Image of a masked robin now buzzing around in my mind.... lololololol little birdie Such an awesome way to write in a Mary Sue! Hummingbird … and advertising Muffy as well... here I go over-interpreting. Happens when I get carried away by a great story. Erithacus rubecula is ferociously defensive of its territory ROTFLMAO Dean using the Latin name for the robin, that is too much... Hilarious. Been watching too much Nature Channel, that man. Awesome. Teaching college boy ornithology! *Laughs bending over narrowly avoiding desk* Wouldn't it have been even better if the other programme had “Days of our Lives” on? Hahahahaha, talk about getting carried away... *snorts* bear trap... would have been limp!Sam then. Although it reminds me off “Hanging on by a Thread”. Have to go and re-read that sometime. hate to think of some animal getting caught in it. …. aw, sweet and caring Dean. Even looking out for animals. Love him to bits... So it is the vengeful spirit's doing? Huh. A trap for Dean and Sam? Thought it might have been something less evil... You got me here! Doesn't happen that often, so count yourselves skilled writers! Snogs, Ilka Author's Response: Hey Snookums Umm, maybe it was a were-bird after all! See you got the film ref again! clever girl! Hey maybe we'll use the bear trap in the sequel...maybe have Dean have a painful tussle with a savage trap? how would that be? Thanks babe/ Jane and Bev xx

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Date: 04/01/09 Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8 Save Seven-Icicles! Hunnies, what a chappie. Man, I am crying like a baby. The hurt, memories and the brotherly bond were so palpable. And I so swore I wouldn't cry. A few quick quotes and thoughts about this chapter... another blizzard, god if it rains it pours... puppy chow yikes, that gave me goosebumps. Reminds me – again – of NRFTW... crutch slipped a little on the icy ground and Dean's knee twisted He hiccupped in pain Oh Jesus. Is it never gonna stop? He is so tortured by now even I feel sorry for him. He'd wormed his way in against Dean's side, lifting his brother's lifeless arm and snuggling it around him. And there he'd sat as Dean had laid his head against the top of Sam's. He couldn't remember any words being said, but he knew that Dean's hot tears had trickled through his long hair as his strong arms had finally wrapped around Sam and held him desperately close. Girls... I gotta take a moment here. That just ripped my heart out in one swift movement. Soooooo sad here. You reduced me to tears... Gawd, the tears, the strong arms, the brotherly bond, the comfort. PERFECT in a very sad way... *sighs deeply, chest hitching* subtly trying to shield his brother from the worst of the weather as he continued Love that image. Very protective in a truly subtle way... That is sooo sweet. his wide eyes briefly showing his fear to the world. Oh gawd. Here I go again... tears, sobs and all that. Shit. This wasn't supposed to happen.... Dean is so worn he can't even mask his fear anymore and the memory of that black dog incident must be a very tough one. Hell, my soul bleeds for him. he hiccupped the pain softly into place love that line... very evocative... This was a very different chapter. True, the others had painful parts in it but this here has been pure angst and comfort. A combination so emotionally charged it always gets to me. I must admit you did a great job in forcing me to cry. Dammit. New Years resolution 1 already been broken... crap. So wanted to become a tough girl (always the thought of meeting him in the back of my mind), not a wuss. Hugs ya, Ilka Author's Response: Hey Ilka So you didn't say who wrote that one? Sorry to make ya cry, but then Christmas is always a bit sentimantal isn't it? Thanks for another lovely review. Jane and Bev xx

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Date: 04/01/09 Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 6 Save 5 - On Dasher, On Dancer, On Comet, On Cupid! Aw Dean is in a bad state. Head hanging, shoulders hunched. Not good. Not good at all, but at the same time oh sooooo drool inducing, hehe. the bass harmonies ??? Seriously dudes. Dean trying to teach Sammy singing? I gotta say that is one weird image. Sam (and Jared for that matter) would be hard pressed to ever learn it. And poor Jensen has to sing off tune as Dean... Hilarious idea though. Dean always gets so touchingly sweet when he is concussed, doesn't he? Like him, so innocent and cute. Don't you remember spectacularly breaking your fall just now by smashing your head into that nice, big Yule log O oh, disoriented and memory loss. That so can't be a good sign. I am starting to worry now... Really worry. Moon shadows raced silvery paths across the shiny blanket and Dean chuckled aw another terrific imagery here.... love this! wrapped his hand around Dean's toes Oh I bet you wish it was your hand doin' that Bev! concerns were efficiently swept away by the appearance of Dean in full patronising big-brother mode When is Sam ever going to be content? Worrying first and then annoyed again. That man sure has issues with Dean. Well, I for one think that he should be happy that Dean has returned to his more usual self even if that means he is a pain in the ass. found his breath catch in his chest as Dean's deep green eyes reflected the pale of the full moon back at him. Vulnerability briefly poured from his accomplished, controlled brother aw fluffy yet heartbreakingly wonderful so... Like 'em vulnerable. And oh those eyes. I still can't believe I am gonna see right into them if he comes to Asylum. I am fainting already. Phew. Deck the Dean... yay, let's do that! lololol... Terrific and so Dean to quip about that... whereas it takes worried Sam awhile to find the humour in it. I guess Sam is too busy mother-henning Dean. Yelling for Dean. Drilled into Sam from years of being able to rely on his big bro to save him. Just instinct as it is Dean's instinct to react accordingly, injuries shoved aside...putting his own life at risk to save Sam. shedding his heavy jacket and over-shirt, as he arched powerfully and dived into the liquid black pool Oooooooooh nudity mmmmh. Bucket filling quicker than ever.... abs, chest, biceps, scars all soaking wet and oh sooooo sexy..... He was losing the fight and there was nothing more he could do. O shit, somebody help them? Anybody? Lololol, you are kidding, right? A freaking inflatable reindeer was admittedly the last thing that came to my mind. You girls have some weird fantasies! Oh Christ, you are putting them and especially Dean through some terrible ordeal, girls. LOVING it. Can't wait to go on, see you on the next chappie. Ilka Author's Response: Hey Ilka Yeah, 'slightly out of it' Dean is just too sweet for words isn't he? Vulnerability is so hard for our boy that it's interesting to see. We thought you'd enjoy his beautifully arched back as he dove into the pool in full 'save Sammy' mode. Love ya hun Jane and Bev xx

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Date: 04/01/09 Title: Chapter 7: Chapter 7 The Little Christmas Tree Man, I am reviewing like there is no tomorrow! Seems you got to me with this one! windbreak Han Solo rescuing L...Luke And you call m...me a g...geek well, damn right he is and so is Dean. As Sam is “princess” Luke, the incarnation of geeky, and Dean is Han (awh, first love... mmmh). So, Dean is a warrior/hunter geek, Sam a nerdy mathlete and we all are Sam and Dean geeks.... fan-girls are geeks if ever there were any! too tired to give as good a he got Didn't I say earlier it won't take long and the handsome hunter will fall silent? When pain and exertion take their toll... even Dean Winchester has to give in sometimes. I know. I made him do it more than once! *cackles viciously* Lying on his side, rocking, he hugged his knees to his chest, grinding his teeth, as he tried in vain to prevent the anguished groans from passing between his blue tinged lips. Gawd that is tough to read. He has the energy to save his bro but now there is nothing left for himself, not even enough to keep up his well-practised gameface. He just breaks my heart every time when he is hurt. finally lost his battle against the rising tide of pain and exhaustion that pulled him down into its warm, dark embrace. Oh please let him rest for a while even if it means Sam has to carry him. He needs a time out. So hurt, so exhausted … *sniffles* (just a head cold!) H...help me out here. Desperate and cold Sammy trying again to save Dean. He is one hero in this story. Very good. Like it when Dean is allowed to be weak and Sam can offer support, strength and comfort. Dean's leather jacket gods, am I glad he found that jacket. And such an awesome way of letting him find the right direction to the tree again. Great idea. home That is so touching. The warm canopy (that the right word?) of the tree sheltering them from the storm and thus morphing into a home. Shelter and comfort, feelings both boys usually associate with the car... wincing as he revealed the bloodied, broken nails, and spreading bruising on the two largest toes on the right foot Ouch, that does sound painful. And you with the feet again, Bev! How is he gonna walk to the car the next day? Will they ever be saved...? played across the ridged muscles of his tense abdomen oooo. Yummy even though it's Sammy. I was a bit too over-enthusiastic in the last review. Only read that Dean had cast off his shirt. Thought of him half-naked (well, I do that most of the time, anyway, heh!) So, I won't take my drooling back cos my mind came up with the images and they were caused by reading this story... so, I have to thank you for allowing my to drool... even though Dean was “in reality” still mostly dressed. Christmas Hiker I can't shake the feeling this hiker isn't that bad after all. He is nudging them, into the right direction to either find his bones as he wants to rest as last. Or he has some task for the boys, some Christmas themed task... we'll see. But I guess he isn't as vengeful. A deep gash oozed a steady trickle of blood, which ran into the loosely clinging bandage, fresh bruising in furious shades of blue and purple stood out on his pale flesh. Gawd the pain he must be in and what a gory sight. Makes me wanna start administering dressings, ointment and sutures right away and top it off with some hugging and rocking him into well-deserved sleep. God, me and my sick desire to nurse him back to health. Tho I guess I am not the only one around here *winks* wind-proof barrier, sealing them into a warm, safe haven And another seasonal save! A Christmas Tree igloo sheltering them from the blizzard. How many more ideas are you gonna write into that story? Awesome storytelling. Girls I am glued to the screen and absolutely glad I have waited this long. You know me, patience doesn't come easily to this girl... Off to the next one, Ilka Author's Response: hey Hun. Umm...so maybe the hikers not so bad after all? well you'll have to wait and see! Thanks for taking so much time to leave such splendid reviews. Jane and Bev xx

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Date: 04/01/09 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2 Decking Dean with Boughs of Holly Love the title! Kept hummin' the song along reading this chapter... heheeee. "Freakin' Holly! I hadda fall into the scratchiest, sonofabitching bush known to man. I couldn't have landed in some sweet smelling, soft leaved, springy-boughed, cotton-wool covered trampoline bush?" LOL. Pissed off Dean in the early bit of this chapter is a real prezzie! Lovely! And holly is such a pain in ass, isn't it? NO! Not the leather jacket?! You better retrieve it, girls! Or I'll go search for it myself... love that thing... Worn out, smelling of motor oil, gunpowder and the musky scent that is Dean. And he is concussed, lovely. Sluggish mind, out of focus eyes, slurred speech, just PERFECT! shielding his glazed and glassy eyes within the first layers of unconsciousness. Wow. Just. WOW. "Why the hell did you take your jacket off, Dean?" Well, good that Sam found it. However, I would be the last to complain about Dean taking off ANY clothes at all! Indeed, if it were me, I'd make him lose his shirt as well... mmmh.... OK bucket right here! my superbly toned and much sought after body LOL! And *drooooooools* "See, it happens to me all the time..." "Women always want to remove my clothes, Sammy." Especially in fanfiction written by Dean-girls! And so good to know Mother Nature is a fellow Dean-girl! "You're back's all torn up, Dean..." "Yup. They do that, too." ROTFL.... *filing nails to fine, sharp points, eying Dean on the screen mischievously* Sam not understanding the torn up back reference, too good. He is such a a sweet innocent man. Though I prefer a bit of smut as you perfectly well know! So, thanks for Dean's smutty mind, Eric Kripke, and for voicing some of his smuttier ideas here, Jane and Bev! Festive Fool! Awesome... *dries away tears of laughter* and then Sam stating the obvious... as usual. Dude, listen to your brother! It's you who always wants to talk yet if he does you rarely pay attention, *giggles*. I have the feeling Sam is gonna be the one to blame for some of the bad luck and whumpage Dean is gonna suffer from. Sam and his slow reactions (at least compared to Dean's perfect hunter senses) and clumsiness. “Lost my shoe “-kinda thing, ya know? *chuckles in malevolent anticipation* the re-awakening limb buzz with pins and needles. Gawd I hate when that happens. 'bout the worst thing, even worse than pain. A little less of the heavy and the old Vanity thy name is Dean! Heh. The thought of Sam's gawky form in the tree made me laugh. Long limbs curled awkwardly around the trunk, arms and large paws reaching out for the jacket... Like an over-sized sloth... or monkey. Lol. Still funny. Sam gestured towards his backpack good thinkin' there, Sammy. At least they can defend themselves in the wilderness now. Thank god. Or the Christmas Spirit. Dean shook his head. The lie springing readily to his lips "Nah, s'okay." mmmmh. Love it when he does that. Hurt and denial of the same coming up! Ooooh, that Hiker Ghost seems a mean caspar! Looking forward to a very vengeful spirit here! Bring it on! Hugs ya! Thanks for this ingenious masterpiece... Ilka Author's Response: Hey official GaLS Slut! we knew you'd like the Dean/Sam discussion about women finding the green eyed god irresistible as we,of course, know he is! Glad you're enjoying it hunny Jane and Bev xxx

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Date: 04/01/09 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3 The Holly and The Poison Ivy Hey girls, loved this one! Dean deteriorating, stumbling along and Sam offering comfort. And then the flashback to a very crappy Christmas with a harsh!John... GREAT "I just wish if something was gonna get involved in giving us a hand, that it'd do it without us getting half killed beforehand." But that would sorta mean we'd miss out on all the lovely hurt! And that so can't be right! Anyway, what's the point in reading a fic without them risking their lives! Sorry, not being mean here, that is just my sick, slutty self. Getting a bit carried away here, heh. Love fluffy stories, too. Hell, I wrote one or two myself. But then again, nothing can compete with a beat up Dean and a hovering Sam! Did you hit your head and not mention it to me? Cause you're kinda startin' to ramble here. Well, I gotta say it: RAMBLE ON! And Sammy, do you honestly think Dean would tell you he hit his head if it wasn't like falling off or hanging on by a thread at the same time? I mean, only if he couldn't hide his pain or suffering anymore he'd open up. Only if he couldn't shrug it off... or if he is concussed. Which he apparently is. Heeh, a strong hit on the head never ends well for the older bro, does it? Reminds me of the delightful “What's My Name Again, Sammy?”--- uch... those were the days--- Oh and by the way, them stumbling through the wilderness totally reminds me of gaelic's Ramble On which is why I had to sorta shout “Ramble On” before. Heh. Always loved that fic and especially the long trek through the night. So, I thank you for reminding me of it! shooting pains streaking down his shin with rhythmic discomfort ouchie! Scream 2? Seriously dudes. If ever there was a worse series of so-called horror movies... well, there was, namely “I Know What You Did Last Summer”. Hate those teenage horror movie wannabes. I'd much rather watch an old-school monster movie (heh) or a remake (double heh) like MBV-3D (original is quite good!) or Friday 13th (seriously, I always loved Jason and his movies! Scary and splattery. Gave me the creeps when I was 13!) And Titanic? Heheeeee. Sammy, always the sucker for a chick-flick. Sorry, rambling here. Back to your awesome story. you skidded the car in the snow and ended up creasing it up against a tree! Oh dear. John can't have been amused seeing his precious car creased up against a tree. God. Reminds me of my story... A car-crash is the worst for either Dean or John, I bet. I love Sam in this scene. Joining Dean's reminiscence only to see Dean picking up his pace. He subtly helps Dean to carry on. So like that sweet man. Dean's lips pouted THAT is so Bev! Heeehee- like his pout so much. He drove us out about 40 miles into the mountains, gave us a six hour head start and then we were supposed to practise Escape and Evasion techniques, so he didn't catch up to us. Ouch, what a crappy dad John can be... Poor boys. However, Dean did deserve it a little for massacring the Impala. How could he be so reckless? Well, he was a teenager then. Get your boots and socks off, Sammy. You don't wanna be walking with wet feet in this snow. Aw, big bro mode in full swing. Always the first instinct is to look out for Sammy. sweat had beaded upon his upper lip and his breath hitched as he sought to control trembling muscles and the black spots dancing before his eyes. Droolin here.... constantly deteriorating, just how I like him. Oh crap. Told you, Sam would be the catalyst for some major Dean hurt... I got it right that Sam stumbles, didn't I? Dean's instinct to save his bro no matter what will always force him to react before calculating his own risk... And see what came of it? His knee is worse than before... However, that means bandages... lemme give ya a hand there, Sammy! Man, you were so damn clumsy at that age, Sammy. Still is. See above mentioned scene and remember Bad Day at Black Rock (coz then it was amplified by the rabbit's foot... but hey, let's not be toooo picky, heh). Guess it's those freakishly long limbs dangling around him all the time... a one man destruction unit um, sounds vaguely familiar. Could it be I am distantly related to Sam? Me so dead clumsy. you couldn't watch your 90210 or Melrose guess he was! Heeeeee, hilarious. you've turned into some freakin' leper. All beauty lost! That man's got a lot to answer for. Aw Sammy. You'll eat your words when he's dead. So, am I right in guessing this is set in season one then? some horribly warped Spirit of Christmas who wants to keep our asses in the game! Might be some sexy angel... could do with a little bit of angelic interference by Cas... Dammit, why isn't anything ever simple? How much more of this goddamned hill can there be? bit of angst is always the icing on the cake! It's never simple for them, is it? Always the long hard way... Loving the flashbacks. See, Bev?! Wee!chesters don't always have to be them at 8 or stuff... Teenagers are fun! All the angst and anger and hormones make awesome stories... like this one! Hugs ya, Ilka Author's Response: Hey Ilka We knew we could count on ya to spot the film references! Yeah yeah...Weechester obsessed girly! haha! Thanks for the lovely review. Jane and Bev xx

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Date: 04/01/09 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 prologue Jane, Bev. I gotta tell ya, I took me long enough to get started on this piece but it was so friggin' worth the wait. Had several giggles and a few hysteric fits of laughter already! You're certainly pushin' all the Christmas buttons there! Awesome... crack-quote That was if it all went to plan, but then what was there to go wrong? Dean had it planned down to the last detail. Best laid plans... o oh. I wonder if that works out... Riker, a wrestler and the drummer boy!... Weird combination though... like the Three Wise Men visiting baby Jesus... Happy freaking Winchester Christmas! Totally sulky, moody Sam... heeeee. So typical and there has to be some loophole in the whole thing. There is no way the boys are gonna have a “normal” Christmas! NO FREAKIN' WAY! Dean doin research... heee, connecting to his inner geek-boy, isn't he? Sam found himself warming slightly to the job despite himself. Always so reluctant to hunt, so Sam. "Sam! Shut the damn door." Evil snowflakes assaulting the black leather upholstery, now we can't have that! Dean swearin' even when he is impressed, so typical! Holy Night Inn??? You gotta be freakin' kidding me! Dean online? How'd he do that!? Must've taken him ages to find his way around... presumable accompanied by many not so christmassy curses... awh, what an image! Love me a pissed-off Dean... threw his arm around his giant baby brother's shoulders He must be in a real good mood there, if he can actually allow himself to “hug” his bro in broad daylight without mortal peril forcing him to! Nice warm image tho, brotherly warm, I mean. The best laid plans he had worked so hard at were melting like snowflakes in Hades awh crap. I feared this would happen. Poor guy. And now they're stranded like Mary and Joseph themselves... well, no question who is who there, is there, heh? MR CRRINGLE? MR CRINGLE?????? ROTFLMAO THE BETHLEHEM STABLES... you guys are killing me here! Three Wise Men and an interfering Angel of the Lord appear... well it would be ever so appropriate and worth a drool to have Castiel show up! You make him appear later? Please? Pretty please? Awesome. The boys portrayed very in character, a lot of laughing and very Christmas setting. Now the only thing I need is a massively hurt!Dean, a bit of angst and my drool bucket! On with the next chappie..., Hugs, Ilka PS: This one was written by Bev mostly, wasn't it? All those “handsome” and “emerald” references... NOT complaining, he is one handsome, emerald-eyed hunter! So with you there, Bev! Author's Response: Hey Babe. We are so pleased you spotted Mr Cringle...didn't know how many people would see the reference. Thanks for the lovely detailed review, you're a sweety oh and yeah Mostly Bev on this one! Jane and Bev xxx Summary:
Takes place during "It's The Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester". Spoilers for all of season four.

Anyway, I read your story this morning and instantly remembered a discussion I had with calUK. I absolutely agree on the fact thatSam's eyes turned a demonic black. Wonder how they willwork with that in the coming episodes. I think it's got to do with the demon blood and the way he has to boost his powers. Back to your story. I loved how Dean was worried for his bro and that in the end, his eyes were those of soulful Sam again! Awesome. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Ilka Author's Response: Wow, that is a weird coincidence. lol. It was kind of weird....I was expecting to read more stories about his eyes turning black. I thought I had imagined it, but when I watched it again, there was no mistaking it. If you go back and look at the screencaps from that episode, you will see that his eyes are totally 100% black. Anway, thanks for your review! It means a lot to me! ~Kayla Summary:

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Date: 12/01/09 Title: Chapter 2: Home Coming OMGOMGOMGOMG! This soooo sad, Muffy. I ... er... um... I dunno what to say! I am really touched by this story. So heartbreaking! They’d had a long one brought in, but his toes still hovered precariously close to the edge Made me smile in sad way. Poor overgrown baby bro! God, this story is unbearably sad... I am gonna repeat the word “sad” and alternate with “painful” and “heartbreaking”. That OK? Jeez, pull yourself together, woman. Dude, I am such a wussy. morphine Aw, he hates it and still welcomes it. That is a damn dilemma! Pain does that to you, doesn't it? Poor guy. Wish I could help him. Normally, I would rather see Dean suffer but this? This is too much. Dean would wanna die instantly. Sam considers this too but then again, if sharing-caring Sam considers this how much sooner would Dean have, just because he'd feel superfluous and a burden to Sam? Aw, god, this is sad. And it reminds me of a story by neonchica, mistress of AU hurt!Dean... Painful reading, like this here. He said you looked like Sasquatch in a stroller. Aw, so like Dean to joke about it to mask the nasty, depressing truth. And he would do everything to make their lives as normal as possible, mother-henning, protective hero of a brother who he is! Love him. Oh, how he must blame himself! He must be torturing himself for letting Sam down. Can't wait to read that. There has to be some drool in it! That makes me a really weird person. But then again, I think I am in good company! *winks* “Sometimes I want to die, Alan,” he whispered. “I just…” The tears started. Sam tried to stop, it hurt, it always hurt when he cried. “Hurts.” Try and breathe through it, UGH! I am glad Dean didn't hear that! It would have broken his big heart. It broke my heart anyway. God, that kid is so sweet and if he hurts it is so different to a hurt!Dean. So much more gentle and quiet. You know what I mean? He … um, he tries to fight it but like anybody would. Not with that superhuman will his brother possesses when it comes to breathing through the pain. And then the doc says he should breath through it! Just like Dean would've done it if he had been hurt. Man I am rambling here... Right. Back to story. Um. Sorry. What the hell, by the way, happened to Sam? An infection and paralyzed??? You are worse than me, woman! Love it though! And I so like the change of POV. First we get to see everything from Dean's perspective. And you know how I like Dean POV. And then it changes around and we see the same action unfold as before but the whole atmosphere is permeated with Sam instead of Dean. Love that. Great writing, Muffy. You write Dean's POV differently compared to Sam's, which is totally great as it shows in a more subtle way how truly different the brothers are! No descriptions needed, just the change. I could go on and on. But it would sound like sucking up. Totally does already... His brother’s eyes were red, a single tear had broken loose and was running down his face. OH. GOD. Just when I thought the summit of sad and depressed had been climbed (Hate hiking btw, just random, but had that image of a mountain in my head just now... never mind. It's late and I need sleep!). And there you go and write something like that. A single tear. OMFG. That is worse that sobs. I am melting here.... jeez. And I so swore I wouldn't cry!!!! “The Impala, Dean, where is it?” Sam felt a sob building in his chest, he couldn’t breath around the ache. I sobbed. LOUD. In the freakin' middle of the freaking night! SOBBED! And it hurt. I felt exactly the same as Sam though I am not as hurt physically. But that idea of Dean selling HER, it tore me apart for a second... “She has a good home, Sam. I checked.” Dean smiled. “She’ll be safe and loved there.” OH. DEAR. He checked on her! She'll be safe and loved there. OMG. I can't bear this. Dean without the car??? And he saw to it that she has a home, like the brothers do now. Always the caring family guy he is. SO thoughtful. And all those changes in the apartment. GAWD. I can't tell you how tough this was to read! And so REAL! chocolate chip muffins that are nearly orgasmic Thanks for that, Muffy. Made me snort a little between sobs. Needed that humor. Just the right amount and time to put it in. Marvelous. Um, there any muffins left? I do need a little bit of soul food (sugary, fat, chocolate stuff, NOW!). Dean really made some new friendships and he talks to people about his brother! That is so cute of him. Suddenly making friends, building a nest for them. Heh. He reminds me of a father-to-be. All this, so Sammy can feel at home and safe. AAAAAWWWW “It’s going to be okay,” Dean said quietly. Sam could hear tears in his brother’s voice. Sam cried harder, holding on to Dean. “I promise.” Sam shook his head. “Yes, Sam.” Dean held him for another moment then gently pulled away, lowering Sam into the chair. “I’ll get a blanket.” WOW! This was possibly the saddest part in the chapter. They hold each other with Dean supporting Sam's weight and then the promise! Oh, I hope so much for your own happiness *waves fist at Muffy* that you give Sam the chance to recover. And I still wanna know what happened to him... those nightmares.... Can't wait for the next update. Awesome ride, Muffy. AWESOME. Hugs ya, Ilka
Author's Response: Oh thank you so much! This story is both so hard to write and I can't wait to get to it. What happened to Sam? It's bad, very very very bad and you get to see it from both brother's POV in upcoming chapters! *sends tissues* *sends hugs* *sends tebby bear to comfort you* Hugs, Muffy

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Date: 17/01/09 Title: Chapter 3: First Day Home Phew. I am as exhausted as Dean and Sam. A tough read. LOVE IT! What an intriguing plot. I wonder about so many things right now... Need to get organized before I quote. Nice, to be expected. Except every time it happens I panic. Aw, Dean. That man is gonna break my heart some day. He is so worried about Sammy. And seriously, so am I. Where is the usual down-to-earth, stubborn, level-headed guy I know and adore? Gone, wasted, withering. Geez. Painful. Sam’s idiot psychiatrist Heh. Aren't they all idiots? Sorry sis, I am glad you are a psychologist and not a psychiatrist, but it still is nearly the same. They have a “map to the soul”, or so they think. They know all the places. 'Cept for the parts where it says “from here there'll be monsters...”, and still believe the earth is flat. There is so much more between heaven and hell... but those “experts”, they wouldn't dare to explore and simply shrug it off as weirdness or mental illness. No, I am not insane and hating my doctors. Just an observation. Most specialists of the psyche forget about the person they are treating, about their feelings.... um. Does this at all have anything to do with your story? Sorry, you had me wandering off... But so many things to think about... This story triggers my imagination. Dean’s own depression and sense of helplessness dissipated a little Of course he would be depressed and feeling helpless. Dean's need to fix Sam permeates every line. And I feel the same way. I need Sammy back up and healthy. I am totally worried about him. I know you don't do death!fics. But I also know there will be a lot more pain and angst ahead of them as this is YOUR story, you evil torturer! “DEAN!” Sam’s cry had him back in the living room in less than three seconds. “Please, no!” Sam flinched in his sleep. Oh gawd. I am starting to dread the revelations about the nightmares. They have to be very insightful though. I think this bar and the girl have something to do with Sam's illness. And by the way. What is he suffering from? A real sickness? Or a supernatural one? “Want to tell me about it?” “No.” “What?” Dean asked. SO. NOT. A. GOOD. SIGN. It's official. Something is VERY wrong with Sam. Mortally wrong. The master of Sharing and Caring doesn't want to talk??? OH MY GOD. I have chills running up and down my spine. This creeps me out more than a monster or demon. *shivers* Btw, I said “What” only nanoseconds before I read Dean's reply, heh. I am so sucked into this story... amazing... Dean desperately trying to cheer Sam up. That is so heartbreakingly, gut wrenchingly sad. I nearly burst into tears. Dean tries to offer Sam “normal”. Normal by Winchester standards, but still. And Sam really turns into that direction, following well-known routines and even smiling at his big bro'. Oh, I nearly sobbed out of relief while a grin spread across my face when he smiled. And his “hurts” snatched the grin away. Painfully so. Leaving me breathless and biting my bottom lip. Oh, how I prayed he was okay. How I wanted him to be able at least to smile, for Christ's sake. How will he be able to fight his depression if that damned illness prevents him from smiling!? And when he has the tears in his eyes again, I went like' Oh, nononono. Please let him at least be able to smile.' Mind you, it is the freaking middle of the night again. And I spoke again. My neighbors must think I am nuts... Well, thankfully, you heard my prayer. My god. Thanks for these lines: “Hurts to laugh.” “Sorry,” Dean said. “No, Dean, it’s okay. Hurts to cry too, this is much better.” They made me feel a little better again. turtles, coots Heh. I loved the flashback. I am a real sucker for happy wee!chesters moments. I prefer them – as you did it – as flashbacks and not stand alone stories. And the coots? Hell, I was laughing hard, almost hysterically. I was so grateful for a little ease of tension. I could breathe again. “Fresh air is good”, so damn right Alan! Oh, thank you for the turtles. I LOVE turtles. Heh. Never thought I'd come across them in a fanfic though. Who'd have thought? Turtles, go figure! Chicken Another scene that made me ease up a little. Dean tying up a chicken... too awesome. *slaps thighs* And there is some double meaning in there! I will discuss that with you tomorrow, you smutty person! “Only one, the same one, over and over.” Dean sighed, heard despair in the sound. “I wake up screaming half the time. Actually screaming. I can’t do that with Sam here.” Oh shit. OH. SHIT. Now. That is just sooooooo …. I can't find words. Oh my. My poor boy. I want to hug him till he can finally let go... Oh shit. WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME MUFFY? So, he is having nightmares, too? Oh the hell. He never has nightmares. Well, he does in Season 4 but he has good reasons as we all know. That means he must have reasons now, too! What has happened to him that he has nightmares? And he tries to keep them a secret. To hide his own despair form Sammy. Oh god. There, you hear that? That is the sound of my heart breaking *pling*. This is so hard. Why can't they just open up and talk about it? Of course, there would be so much less to tell in the story. But then again, my heart is being TORN TO SHREDS HERE!!!!!!!! I can't even cry! This is physical and mental agony to read. Dean walls up to keep up pretense when all he needs to do is TALK, for crying out loud. And I like this Alan character more and more every second. He speaks my mind. Jeez: You need to talk about this as much as Sam. So damn right. Good doctor. And those creatures are hard to come by! You were right and wrong, Muffy. Right because I hate this chapter. And wrong because I FRIGGING love it at the same time. AWESOME, brilliant update... gawd. I am so caught up in the whole story... wonder if I find sleep at all... Hugs ya big time! Ilka
Author's Response: Oh thank you so much hon! This story is so hard to write, but so worth it in so many ways! I loved the little memory ofthe turtles as well--and I agree with you. I like the WeeChester moments in flashbacks in larger stories mostly. Dean and Sam do need to talk, maybe it will start to ease the nightmares they are both having. I promise a little of that in the next chapter! Hugs, Muffy

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Date: 24/01/09 Title: Chapter 4: Yellow Walls 'Kay, sorry it took me so long, but I wanted to be thorough and to do it justice. Love this story a great deal, hun. Terrific and brilliant. it sounded like a metal rendition of an old folk song Heehee. Hilarious. And I love Dean singing. Did I tell you I have him and Sam hollering ('coz that sure wasn't singing) Dead or Alive as a ringtone? AWESOME. And a little embarrassing in public. A colleague once said, “Who is that shouting at you?” LOL. And of course Dean will turn every song into a metal rendition... heh. the walls painted a soft yellow, …. yellow and blue plaid curtains. Breaks. My. Heart. You know Muffy, this is soo hard to read... I mean. The flashback and then Dean how he remembers that long ago conversation. How he loves Sam. I love the way you show their brotherly bond. Subtle but oh so sweet. It is a tough read. Tore at my soul. Sam is so weak. And Dean tries everything to make him right. And the curtains and walls just show how much Sam is the center of Dean's life. The sun he revolves around. Sounds like wincest, but you know what I mean. Dean would do EVERYTHING to make Sam better. aaawww I found a pancake recipe I’m dying to try. HAHAHAHAHA. Only needs an apron now. And he really knows how to be a parent, a mother more like, doesn't he? All those years when he took care of lil Sammy, they sure pay out now. Love this gentle, caring, sweet side of my bad-ass hero. Although it is hard to read it because it also portrays just how much Dean is afraid of losing Sam. How much he is actually scared. This is angsty Dean but very subtly so. Like that a lot. Christo!!!!!! I was yelling that too! Love that. He isn't himself, is he? Something happened to Sam. And the reverberations have shaken Dean to his foundations. He has changed, so fundamentally (LOL) that even Sam is a little surprised. Loss of dignity was part of the routine now, but showering with his brother ugh. I so know what he means by that. I couldn't imagine that happening to me. I remember one time when I blacked out in the shower. My ex found me and I felt so embarrassed. Still blush at the thought. It isn't the nuditiy part. It is the feeling of utter dependence, the neediness, weakness. Hate that. And Sam shares that trait with Dean. Makes them true brothers. Both ready to help and care for the other one but incapable of accepting help. AWH. I tried it out a couple of times. If you need me, shout. Ooooh. Dean. You can be my hero and male nurse any time. So thoughtful. Almost a little compulsive and obsessed. He wants to make it right so bad. Please Muffy, give him some good news soon. He breaks my heart, as does sick Sammy. Love em both to bits. And this story really hurts me... but in a good way, sick puppy that I am. “I mean by myself?” The tears were starting to get the better of him again. The way he said it, Sam suddenly understood that Dean knew… JESUS. This doesn't stop making me weep. Hell. Thoughtful big bro and poor, needy Sam. They still understand each other non-verbally. Read each other like a book. And Dean makes it so easy for Sam to feel comfortable. Not just comfy but at home. He actually acknowledges Sam's need for privacy and by this Sam finds his self-esteem again. He needs to feel safe without feeling too weak and needy. Dean is the BESTEST big bro in the whole world. *hugs him tight* lurking in the bedroom “just in case” AW. Again. *hugs him tight for being an awesome brother* I didn’t get sucked into the show, but it was company, you know? It isn't only Sam who feels alone and depressed. Dean would never speak his mind but in admitting that a cooking show was his only company... man. That is some sad thing to say. Even by Winchester standards. The loneliness screams at you and I actually flinched when I read it and my right hand covered my heart to protect it from the emotional agony this sentence caused. This is one painful story. I know I've said it on numerous occasions before. But it IS. *dabs at eyes* Dean Special HEEEE. ME! I want a Dean Special. But not the pancakes. The OTHER one. Can I ? Oh please! Purdy please???? *drools* Fine, jerk, I won’t. Phew. This sentence left me sighing in relief -at first. But then it hit me. This return to the usual Bitch-Jerk banter is sooo touching. Sam recognizes how much Dean is stretching himself to make Sam feel alright and not awkward or weak. And he rewards Dean with the desperately needed normality. But it comes out very quietly... Like a shadow of the banter it used to be. Like Sam who is only the shadow of the man he used to be. Great writing. And very touching and emotional. Again. pink with a fluffy white ball on the back ROTFLMAO..... Hilarious. No words. Dean just hadda buy them. Seriously, it's what I'd had done for my lil sis too. You just need to annoy them once in a while. After all, that's what lil siblings are there for, to love and protect and to annoy and mock them. LOL. thrift shop Hun, I may be over-interpreting again. But what was Dean looking for in the shop? He cuts off mid-sentence and he only does that if he has a secret or doesn't know if Sam could stomach the truth. So, I am very eager to know more on this part! his brother rarely talked just for noise, but it certainly seemed that way Chattering Dean is almost as disturbing as the very parental and caring Dean. And it fits together. Dean wants Sam not to feel awkward. Dean wants to show Sam that he will be there no matter what and that it is OK for him. Yet still, chattering Dean is weird. Make Sam better please, I can't stand this too long. It makes me realize how sick Sam is if Dean changes his ways so completely. And I don't like that. Make Sam better soon, please. Then he heard it, a nearly silent whisper. “Thirty-one, thirty-two…” Dean was counting it off. And Sam holding on longer because of it. Uuuugh *dies from severe hurt and broken heart* Happy now? Sam looked up, tears were sparkling in his brother’s eyes—unshed but there. I could hear Dean think: Gonna make him better. Gonna fix him. No matter what the cost.... ugh... oh, jeez. This is sooo sad. Poor Sam, poor Dean... there’s a mummy who knows all the people he kills, are just waiting to get torched by me HAHAHAHAHAHAAH. Thank you, Muffy. You just know when your readers need a break from all the angst and emotional trauma. Exactly the right moment. And thanks for using LedZep. AWESOME. Can just hear him. Heh. You got Dean singing twice in this chappie. *drools and hugs ya for it* car orgasm Hahaha. Dean and cars. I had a different kind of car orgasm at that... um. Not sayin. Heeee. But you know me well enough... just use your imagination (not the virginal kind, more the smutty category...) Tears dripped off Dean’s face and landed on Sam. Oh, that is so like NRFTW. And my own death fic. Every time I see them dying in my mind, it happens like that. The surviving sibling dripping tears on the others limp body. *weeps and sobs* *wants the boys to live a happy life but fears evil!Eric will intervene* Sam risked a glance at Dean—his brother’s face had tears on it, he knew there were answering tears on his own. OH. GOD. Like in Heaven and Hell. Not good. Need to break here. I am all weepy. Shit. Love this chapter. But it tears me apart, Muffy. “Don’t you say that, Sam. Don’t you ever say that.” Dean’s anger vibrated through his chest. UH. Sam just said the ONE thing Dean doesn't need to hear. Oh, Dean. I fear it must have hurt like a stab at his heart. Dean's resources must be as depleted as Sam's only he is more skilled at hiding them. Oh shit. Gonna need a new box of tissues. Remember: You promised to send Dean with tissues over! You so ow me that! Dean met his eyes. “Yeah, Sammy, I know I can.” Oh, I know that look. Eyes blazing, hard like steel. Not allowing any other way than his. Scary. Very defiant. And very sex. *melts* And I bet he knows more than he has let on so far. I am curious. When's the next update? Love this story, Muffy. I usually rather go for the hurt!Dean stories. But the way you hurt Sammy and how it affects my hero that is almost as unbearable as a death fic with Dean or Sam dying. Really, really emotional stuff. And brilliant writing and timing. OK, evil!chickens of the world, tremble in fear and hide for I will review and slay thee... heh Hugs ya big time, Ilka Author's Response: Oh thank you *sniffff* hugest of hugs, I'm speechless Huge hug, Muffy

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Date: 25/01/09 Title: Chapter 5: Macaroni and Cheese
His brother's quiet admission that he should have died, that he still might, was almost more than Dean could bear. Oh, how Dean must be cringing at the mere thought! And Sam sayin it out loud, WISHING for it more like! That is sooo hurtful for Dean. Poor guy. But depression does that to the strongest person. It is a bitch. You sit in a dark hole and there is no way out. The walls are that high that you can only suspect there is a way out. And you know the effort will be too much. *pats Sam and hugs Dean* if you barf in here, Sammy, I don’t care how you manage it—you are so cleaning it up yourself. Heh. I somehow hear my mom say that to me. When I went out for the first time to a party where they would serve alcohol. And Dean saying this to Sammy only shows how desperate he is to make Sam feel normal. That Sam's sickness isn't a big deal, that they would be able to overcome that together. Aw, poor, worrying Dean and weak Sam. *Sighs in compassion* Okay, I face worse than this all the time, what’s a little macaroni compared to an angry ghost? I can do this Sweet. So sweet. I like this caring Dean. It is exactly how I think he would be as a father. Sweet. But I somehow miss his bad-ass attitude... Guess that is a different story, huh. Will see if I find a good story with that in and then alternate between sweet/caring and defiant/snarky. Maybe one of your hurt!Dean ones... Dean must be torturing himself. All that guilt he must feel because he wanted to go to the bar rather than have a salad. Eat salad, it's good for your health. Oh my. That is awful. Poor, angsty Dean. Wanna snuggle next to him and caress him till he is better. Awh. Oh my god, look at that car. Heehee. Again awesome timing with this humorous snippet. Car orgasm. He truly LOVES cars. HAHAHAHAHA “Hang on, Sam, okay?” Oh god, he’s dying, oh god. Tears burned like acid in his eyes. “Sammy, stay with me.” OMG. This was so hard to read. Made me think of that awful scene in AHBL. Oh jeez, the “Stay with me” was sooooo audible and I sobbed. Out. Loud. I love and hate that scene. But it is so much like in your description. The scene where Sam dies is one of the toughest I think of the whole show. Sometimes it is even harder than NRFTW. Of course because of the emotional impact Sam's death has on Dean. His eyes, OMG his eyes and the desperate yell for Sam. Oh dear. Getting myself worked up here. *dabs tissue at eyes* SHOT? Friggin SHOT????? Jesus. I wouldn't have dreamed of it. But sometimes “normal” is way scarier than “supernatural”. And I still wonder why that woman shot him in the first place. I guess I have to wait for the next installment. Courtesy of Scopie, huh? Dammit. Why are your stories so addictive??? Hugs ya and heads off to read one of your hurt!Dean stories to have counter affect to the emotional turmoil wreaking havoc inside self.

So right in the middle of lunch, I kinda started giggling and the others at the table were like, "What?" And I was like, "Nuthin'. I just suddenly got a story idea." My mind was totally in the gutter. I almost blushed. And they all sure didn't get the humor when I tried to explain. lol I'm sooooo happy that you enjoyed it and thought it was funny! Summary:
Dean centric Drabbles. I play in a drabble challenge over on FF.Net and I thought I'd bring them over here. Some are funny, some a bit more serious. Hope you enjoy. Enkidu and OnyxMoonBeam on FF.Net supply a word each week and the players create a drabble including the word. Thanks to Kripke for the wonderful material to play with, he owns the boys I own my fantasies!

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Date: 24/01/09 Title: Chapter 1: Sometimes the Chickens Win OOOOOH, intriguing and creepy. Great start. And it reminds me of Cal's Halloween story. Only there it was bugs covering a Winchester.Hate it if creepy animals attack them. *shivers* I really fear for Sam. So, he is dying? Or mortally ill? What the heck happened? And Dean was stealing my best line! I was so gonna go for the "I see dead chickens" quote... Do I get to kiss him now like Anna? That'd be only fair! They had those health bars you eat—the good kind, M&Ms, shotgun ammo, batteries and Patron Silver Tequila... *chuckles* sweet boy of mine. Aw. The only things Dean needs to be happy. Was reminded of Tim Taylor and his growl at the mention of the Hardware store and its goods. HEHE. Could see Dean doing that... well, I am a little weird. classic car club LOL. A club. HAHA. Dean must be in heaven. He should settle down in that town. taxidermy. He stuffed his favorite hens ew. That is just wrong. Never liked stuffed animals. But birds? With those cold beady eyes following you around the room? THAT IS JUST SO WRONG. And creeps me right out. If I were a stuffed animal (*gags*) I would sure haunt the taxidermist's ass for all eternity! trying to kick the door in mmmmh, yummy. Lovely. So hot when he does that. Strong, determined and one hell of a hero. LOVE. HIM. Right, let's see if Dean saves Sam. I hate the thought of feathers and beaks and the poor boy amongst them. Hate feathers. Weird, I know. But just as it is. They are covered with germs and I am allergic to downs, one more thing to be repelled. See you on the next chappie. Ilka

Date: 24/01/09 Title: Chapter 2: He's Fond of Chickens Ugh... Cliffie, *points Holy Water bottle threateningly at Scopulus only to remember he doesn't mind it, sighs in resignation*. So glad you updated. Poor Sammy. The grip on his ankle increased, something biting into his skin like claws. Dean fired again Well, I know what this thing is now but I was very surprised. I thought it was a ghost and couldn't figure out why the ghost wasn't repelled by salt rounds... The need to get to his brother was at the point of desperation. Aw. I need him to get to Sammy too. He is always so desperate if Sam is threatened. Or dying. He would fight more for Sam's life than his own. AWH. He felt his ankle twist on impact, OUCH! Hurts. But knowing Dean means knowing he'll carry on until Sam is safe. He might not even feel any pain until then. birds peeking through the partially opened door like they were trying to decide what to do How freaky-creepy is that? They do have a plan! SHOOT! Shoot them freaky chickens! And you filthy featherlings:Hands of my boy! Or I'll have you for dinner! Hm, maybe not a good idea considering what they did to Sammy. Dean reached a badly shaking hand for Sam’s pulse. ANGST-fest. *drools* Love it when his hands shake, or his chin quivers... *daydreams* “he’s fond of…” “Chickens?” Cracked up at that. Freakin' funny. And again, Dean is stealing my line. I was instantly reminded of the Great Gonzo and his chicken stormtroopers... lol. And that fondness is wrong on so many levels I don't wanna delve into that... But Dean soooo owes me a whole night on the backseat of the Impala now! How do chickens—chickens, Sam—eat someone from the inside out? slowly and painfully. With beaks, talons and the likes, Dean. Wanna know more just look at your bro'! DUH! "Strategically dismember?" Dean nodded. "I like that." So do I. Let's grab a chainsaw and get on with it! Freaky sodomist goblin... ew. Well, Dean isn't much of a horse whisperer, is he? Haha. Liked how he looked around desperate for his next move but unwilling to just give up. It was Sam's life in the balance and I am not sure he could even stop. Not in his nature. He doesn't know how. On choking Sammy. Sera Gamble does it every so often. And the choking is kind of like what a head wound -like bruises or cuts- is to Dean, don't you think? At least on the show. And Dean gets very panicky everytime Sam can't breathe. Oh, the ANGST. Let's make Gonzo pay in the next chappie. I am so gonna have his ass for what he did to the boys. And chickens are scary, creepy and freaking me out! Hugs, Ilka

Great... update.... going in. "Dude, you're fugly." YAY. One of my favorite quotes. Awesome. And that thing truly IS fugly. EW. Dismembered like a hydra. Heh made me think of how you have to scorch the neck after beheading the thing. And it would be such an annoying task for impatient and panicky Dean, wouldn't it? Stupid dead chickens. Hell those things creeped me out BIG TIME. I think I will never look at one of them fondly. You have a mild concussion MMMH. Yummy. Love me a concussed Dean. Slurred speaking, headaches and stumbling around. Very needy. Can I hold him till he is better? allergy to chicken feathers Well, I think I have a lot in common with Dean. Not just the sign of the zodiac. Although, it's geese downs for me. But they make puffy eyes and cause my asthma. Not nice. Not at all. Poor anaphylactic Dean. “Oh wait, or is it revenge, like chicken salad, is best served cold?” HAHAHAHAHA. Another joke. You're really good at humour, Muffy. Hilarious *slaps thighs grinning and howling with laughter* I enjoyed the chickens very much. I am glad I waited so I could read it in one go. Great. I won't enjoy chicken that much anymore though – or wait. Maybe I am as I am aware of how mean they can be... I will take revenge for what they did to Sam and Dean, I swear! Loves ya, Ilka Summary:
Banner by the amazing and rocking RoweenaC Sam and Dean begin a hunt. Of course, things are never easy with the boys, and the beginning could very well be their end.
