Date: 07/02/07 Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8 In A Stranger's Hands Oh man you gotta be kidding me! I got to the end of the chapter and actually exclaimed"What that's it!" out loud! I'm freaking out! My boy Dean is spouting blood!! I need more! Great story!

  Date: 11/02/07 Title: Chapter 11: Chapter 11 Hunt Part 2: Perception of Reality Wow! That was worth the wait! I'd pretty much figured out the wandering bullet part, but I gotta say I never saw the twist at the end coming! Fabulous! Also, with respect to your self-deprecating, caustic sense of humor, that's the best kind to have IMHO! I enjoy reading your comments at the end of the chapters almost as much as reading the chapters themselves! They always give me a chuckle. I' really glad the ending worked. It's the only part of the story I had planned out, getting to it was the killer. The A/n's are my ritual anymore. I HAVE to write them. Glad you enjoy them.
Summary:
The New Orlean's job comes back to haunt Dean as he and Sam return to stop a series of murders, and end up discovering an evil they may not be able to defeat...with Dean's life in the balance.

Date: 29/01/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 This was the first of the three that I read. I've since read them all (once staying up till 3am to finish!). I must say all three stories were some of the best fanfic I've ever read! The way you write the relationship between Sam and Dean is just beautiful and dead on! Some of the dialogue I can actually hear them saying! It was a complete pleasure to read each one, and I am most definately looking forward to reading more from you in the future! Author's Response: Oh, wow -- thank you! I love knowing that you read all three. :) There will be more... as soon as life lets up a bit. I really appreciate your assessment of how I write the boys, and I am glad it rings true for you. Thanks for letting me know you've read and I hope to see you on a review page again sometime! Cheers -- GS Summary:
"His family had split down their own stubborn paths, and within the same day, alone, they had been struck down. Dean didn’t know how to pick up the pieces. He didn’t know how to bring everything back around…or if that was even possible now…" Pre-series: Sam never made it to the bus heading for California. The Yellow-eyed Demon steps in early.

Date: 17/03/07 Title: Chapter 12: Schism What a kick ass story!!! I've just read it all in a marathon session and every chapter kept me riveted to my seat! I love how you write Dean...it all rings so true. I also love the idea of the "Matrix like" situation that the boys are in...great imagination there. And who exactly is this Karen chick anyway? I'm anxiously awaiting more! Thank you for the review Phoenix_Song778! It makes me literally giddy to see the words "kick ass" before my story. It was such a great start to my day to see your review in my inbox. As for Karen Montgomery, her part is revealed a little bit more next chapter...which should be up tonight if I get it back from my beta today. Thanks again. :) -Sojourner

Date: 19/03/07 Title: Chapter 13: Veritas Vos Liberabit I knew this chapter was going to be awesome before I even got into it because it opened with lyrics from my favorite Zeppelin song! That aside, it was totally brilliant; a really great read. I loved the gummy bear math lessons, as well as the fleshing out of Caleb, Joshua and particularly Elkins as a paranoid whack job...nice. You have a wonderful way with words that makes the story feel vivid and real; a pleasure to read. You also have a way with Latin....I know what futuo means....so very, very Dean :-) Thank you for reviewing and saying what it was that stuck out to you. That means so much to me, to know what exactly it was that worked. *Smile* The Levee is your favorite too? It's an awesome song. I know a little Latin, because I took it sophomore year. I still have my text book and use it when I can, which doesn't mean what I say in the story is without fault...but I hope it is close. *laugh* You know what futuo means. Glad you thought it was very Dean :) More soon, and thank you for reading. -Sojourner

Date: 09/04/07 Title: Chapter 14: Abandon All Hope Oh my god, dude! I'm a total basketcase after reading that chapter!! Totally awesome as usual...fabulous dialogue between Joshua and Bobby...laughed at the "useless as tits on a man" comment! But that last scene, DemonSam and Dean wrestling over that knife and then Dean letting go....just about killed me! I felt the sudden urge to burst into tears! Generally I don't thank people for making me feel that way, but there aren't many writers that can provoke such a reaction in me and it felt good in a strange way, so thank you! :-) Author's Response: Thank you Phoenix_Song778! I am very thrilled that you liked the Joshua and Bobby dialogue. They have been so much fun to write. I hate to be twisted, but you thanking me for making you want to cry...puts a smile on my face. Won't lie. *laugh* So...uh...you're welcome! More as soon as life permits. My "goal" is to be done with the next two chapters by the end of April. *crosses fingers* Thanks again for your kind words. :) -Sojourner

Date: 13/05/07 Title: Chapter 15: What Lies Within Whew! That was intense and most definately worth the wait. Generally, I like to review right after I've read the chapter, but in this case I needed to walk away for a while and collect myself! Seriously, between this fabulous chapter and what happend last week, I'm losing it! I was amazed by the similarities in what you've written and what is taking place on the show right now! In particular, how the Demon is not really looking for soldiers, but a LEADER...unbelievable! I also echo Gaelicspirit's sentiments regarding how seamlessly you tie everything together...masterful storytelling! I'm really looking forward to seeing how you wrap everything up...whatever you choose to do I know it'll blow me away! Author's Response: Aw, Phoenix, thank you for such high complements. Seriously, I am blushing really bad. Thank you for taking the time to review and for sticking with me. Yeah...My heart still hurts after that episode too. So cruel. Here's hoping this Thursday will bring us a happier ending. Take care. :) -Sojourner

Date: 25/05/07 Title: Chapter 16: Epilogue Sojourner, that was really a wonderful read! I actually cheered out loud when I saw that the epilogue had been posted! Fortunately I had the VS to keep me occupied or it would not have been pretty! You definitely do the boys justice not only in how they view each other, but also how they view themselves...much kudos to you for that. I also how you brought it all back to the scene in the Impala from the first season...that was brilliant! I'm sad that it's over, but I enjoyed the ride and cannot wait to see what you come up with next! Author's Response: Phoenix_Song, I am very grateful for your reviews and was so glad to have you along for the ride. Thank you for such a kind worded review and I hope to be seeing you again soon. -SJ Summary:
The brother's strengths are tested when they are confronted by both a supernatural threat... and a human one.

Date: 14/02/07 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2 Great chapter! I like the idea of having both Sam and Dean's POV of the same event...the overlap between chapters is a cool idea. As always great dialogue, I chuckled several times at some of Dean's sarcastic retorts! Looking forward to more! Oh great! I'm so glad you like the POVs. And the dialogue. These guys are quick-witted; I'm glad you think the story does that justice. So far. :) Looking forward to seeing what you think of the rest! GS

Date: 09/02/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 Yay you're back!! And in one chapter I'm hooked! Glad to have Brenna in the picture again....she definately makes things interesting. Can't wait to find out what Declan has gotten himself into this time! How exciting that you're hooked after chapter 1! I'm thrilled. :) Hee. Writing chapter 2 now. Hope to have it posted next week. Declan's a bit of a trouble magnent. And the bad part is, he pulls others into the chaos. It always hurts more than himself. Hope you enjoy the rest. GS

Date: 20/02/07 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3 Whew! What a ride! This chapter was so worth the wait. While I've never really been a fan of Declan, but I was saddened by his death...more on Brenna's behalf then anything else I think. I loved her line about how she could never have Dean because he belongs to someone else. Truer words were never spoken. And the whole Dean-Brenna interaction at the end...very tastefully and effectively done. Now Dean goes off to get himself in over his head...as usual :-) Thanks so much for sticking with me -- and you know I love the reviews. :) Declan's life was a lesson in misjudgement... his death will be a catalyst for Brenna. And in some ways for Dean as well. Hope you like what's to come. Three more chapters left. GS

Date: 27/02/07 Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4 Seriously, Tuesdays are becoming my favorite day of the week! The day I get my fix! It just keeps getting better and better! I knew Dean was going to get his stubborn self into trouble....and the mental image I had of Sam running through that burning church, screaming Dean's name...powerful stuff. I love how Dean is remembering bits and pieces of what happened in IMTOD...nice continuity....they should really do that on the show. Looking forward to next week already...hoping there will be more than 6 chapters.... ;-) Thanks so much for this! *BIG grin* Now I really want the baby to go to sleep on time tonight so I can get working on Chapter 5! I'm so glad you're enjoying the repressed memories from IMTOD -- I hope that the end result that's planned works for you! And as I go, the characters keep trying to break out of my outline... so it may end up being more than six chapters after all... guess we'll see, huh? Thanks for reading and taking time to send me a review. :) GS

Date: 04/03/07 Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5 What a wonderful surprise to find the next chapter up early! It was beautifully written, particularly the scene with Brenna taking care of Dean while Sam watched. I just loved that! I guess Brenna wasn't kidding when she said she had been practicing using her power. Wow! The force is definately with her! An interesting idea that Sam may have similar abilities.... All this and my wish for more than 6 chapters is granted as well :-) Author's Response: Phoenix I think I love you -- you noticed that it was early! Hee! I am really glad that you liked the scene with Brenna taking care of Dean -- with the chapter being written through Sam's POV, I wanted to make sure they (Brenna and Dean) still had a moment... LOL -- the Force is with Brenna. So funny...yeah, I think that's pretty true. Her druid powers are increasing and she's trying to keep a grasp on them... hopefully, it gets interesting. Hope you like the next parts. GS

Date: 12/03/07 Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 6 I swear you're trying to kill me...don't you know it's not nice to abuse your devoted readers? Your ability to write those "dying Dean" scenes is becoming frighteningly good. I almost lost it when I got to that part...I had to take a second to recover before going on! Also good: the fact that the wraith took the part of Dean that is actually DEAN and not Sam or John....like that part was the most vulnerable....the easiest to get to and take...it makes sense. I'm looking forward to seeing him take it back! Yay! So glad you saw that. He puts himself last, thinks of himself as the least important -- I mean, that's how I see it anyway -- so it would be that piece of him that the wraith could get to the easiest. Hope you like how he "heals" that fractured part of his soul. And sorry about the abuse. Kinda. Well, no, not really. I am jazzed that you enjoyed it and that you had to take a moment to recover. Remember -- it's always darkest before the dawn... ;) GS

Date: 20/03/07 Title: Chapter 7: Chapter 7 Okay, so I did a dumb thing...I was so excited to see this chapter I thought "I'll just read a bit before I have to go to class". Yeah, I should know better. I got so involved (OMG that Jack bastard is going to STAB Dean!!!) that before I knew it I had five minutes to get to class and then couldn't concentrate! Yet another outstanding chapter! I really like the parallels between the events in this chapter and the story that Sojourner is working on. The whole idea of the boys invading each others minds in order to mend together the broken pieces of soul is a beautiful example of the connection between Sam and Dean. It also makes for a great emotional read in both cases. I guess this is real evidence for the old saying that great minds think alike! Sorry I made you late to class!! Wait... no I'm not. Hee. Thanks so much for reading and taking time to send a review. :) I'm so glad you saw this as parallel to sojourner's amazing story. When I outlined this one, I knew I was going to go back to how Brenna connected them in "Within My Hands." As I read sojourner's story, I was excited that she was doing something similar with how the boys connected. These brothers just captivate me. I hope that you enjoy the last chapter and that it lives up to your expectations! GS

Date: 28/03/07 Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8 Ah Gaelic, you can satisfy me like no one else! I actually squealed when I saw how long this chapter was...I haven't squealed like that since I was a teenager and that was some time ago! All the elements were there..lots of hurt!Dean, protective Sam, great music (I LOVE "When the Levee Breaks")....and the backseat of the Impala saw some action too! I'm sad to see this one end, but it was a great journey and I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for you when the VS starts :-) Yay! You squealed. Squealing is good. I'm so glad the long chapter worked for you. I just couldn't stop until it was all there, y'know? Glad you liked the music, too! Levee is one of my favorite Zeppelin songs... along with, y'know... Kashmir, California, HOTH, Black Dog, Evermore... oh, fine. I like too many to list. But that one just screamed "sexy" to me. I'm glad you enjoyed the journey -- and I hope to see you on a review page near me in the future. Cheers -- GS Summary:

Date: 18/03/07 Title: Chapter 3: Dark Dreams Ah, I've been waiting a long time for this and it was well worth it. Glad you're better and ready to write! I'm a sucker for Dean angst, and you do it so well. Can't wait to read more! Wow, what a great surprise to come home to wonderful reviews like this!

Date: 05/04/07 Title: Chapter 4: Pushing Forward You were anxious about this chapter...really? I thought it was fabulous!! I figured that Dean was going to "start hearing the voices" and I really liked how you led up to it, very smoothly done. That being said, I can't believe you left us hanging like that! I gotta know what the heck is going on! Don't leave me blowing in the wind for too long.... :-) Oh yeah, the Simon and Simon reference....laughed my head off!! I had a major thing for A.J. when I was a kid! Author's Response: Ha, that's funny that you just said the same thing about A.J. that I did in my last response below. Yes, I was anxious about this chapter...but then, I pretty much get anxious every time I post. But, this is new territory...I've actually got a plan, lol. Before, I flew by the seat of my pants, and now I'm chasing a specific idea and I don't want to give away too much too soon or be too slow about getting there. Either way, I'm feeling a little more relieved since ya'll seem to like it. Thanks for the feedback :)

Date: 15/04/07 Title: Chapter 5: What Waits in the Dark This is so great! I've spent all weekend working on this horrific project for my stats class, so you have no idea how thrilled I was to see you had posted a new chapter!! Beautifully and movingly written as usual! With every installment I'm more and more eager to find out what the deal is with these voices! Thanks for making my weekend! Oh, how the pressure builds :) Don't worry, its a good problem to have. Ugh, I'm glad college is far, far behind me. Just keep telling yourself that one day it will all be a distant memory. I'm happy I was able to make someone's day...makes me feel like I'm paying it forward for all the times someone updated something I was reading and it made my day better. And, no, thank you for reading and reviewing...hope this week fare's better for ya. Nicole

Date: 25/04/07 Title: Chapter 6: Holding it Together Ah, Nicole, a wonderful chapter...I've come to expect nothing less! We all know that Dean walks a very fine line between the light and dark sides of his soul, but the way you wrote about his struggle and guilt was heartbreakingly vivid. The paragraph in which he sees himself as an open wound left me breathless! Can't wait for more! Kelly Author's Response: Kelly, I want to thank you for making a girl smile. Long week made better by a few words. I'm glad you found the descriptions to be vivid...I really hope so. The more vivid the better, at least I think so. Thank you.

Date: 27/05/07 Title: Chapter 7: Coming Undone Nicole, this was great! Absolutely worth the wait! And that vid...I love presents and that was an awesome one. This chapter was fabulous....made me want to jump into the story and beat the crap out of that demon for delighting in Dean's agony. I pretty much feel that way when I watch the show too... ;-) The quotes that Sojourner pulled out were my favorites as well. I loved the image of Sam clomping around in Dean's shoes...so cute! Can't wait to see how the boys are going to get out of this one....I'm a little worried....
Author's Response: Well, they say to pull from your own life experience when you write and I used to have niece who is only 5 yrs. younger than me who would wear my shoes and stuff...and I see it in my own kids. And, it most always drives the older one nuts, lol! I could see Sam hero worshiping Dean to this extent...because, you know, he is an awesome older brother. I can't wait to see how they get out of this either...HA, just joking, lol. Thanks for the review and I'm just so thankful y'all are still hanging in there with me :) Nicole

Date: 25/06/07 Title: Chapter 8: Coming Undone Redux It was such a fantastic surprise to find a new chapter up! I loved the description of how Dean felt when possessed: "the black undulating jelly-like form" what a marvelous sentence! I'm dying to know what happened with Hannah that has Dean all twisted in knots. Don't make me suffer too long please! Oh yeah, the vomit scene...well done...right up there with Terry's stuff :-) Author's Response: *passes out straight away* Up there with Terry's stuff...oh, I don't know, that girl is a mad genius! That was an awesome compliment, though, thanks. I'll be soaring on cloud nine tonight :). Glad you liked it so much, Nicole

Date: 14/07/07 Title: Chapter 9: Guilty Confessions Oooh that was SO good! I loved the twist that Sam actually knew Hannah! Speaking of Sam, I had the incredible urge to slap him silly as he reacted to Dean's story. I really didn't think he would actually behave the way Dean feared he would. My poor Dean...all I can say is that Sam better get his head out of his butt and make things right before it's too late! Can't wait for the next chapter!!
Author's Response: Thank you...and I've already got two pages of the next chapter and I can tell you that we start with Sam's POV. So, we'll be getting back to him real soon, lol. All I can say is Dean knows his brother pretty well. Of course, I think Sam's reaction now is different than it would've been at Stanford. I think Stanford would've been more over the death of Hannah as opposed to now its a reaction of shock and anger over a secret being kept from him. Wow, how I ramble. Sorry. Again, thanks for the review :) and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Nicole

You know, I figured you'd end it there, but still found myself frantically scrolling down thinking "there's gotta be more"! Fabulous job with this. The lyrics from the Linkin Park song are sooo perfect for describing Dean...gave me goosebumps! Update soon! I was totally listening to that song while I wrote this. Absolutely. Music can be a great inspiration of emotion and that song fit so perfectly. I know what you mean about goosebumps...a well placed song can have that effect. Thanks so much for the feedback and glad you knew the song! Nicole

I was just checking the site to see what was going on and was delighted to see this chapter....and then I read it and am now completely emotionally drained! I have to say you've really outdone yourself with this installment...the others have been fantastic, but this one pretty much gutted me...I'll be thinking about it for the rest of the day now! I hope Sam tears that thing apart for messing Dean up so badly...can't wait to see what else you've got in store! Author's Response: From everything I've seen of Sam, he's definitely gonna be ready to mess that thing up. Nobody does his Dean that way and lives to tell about, lol. I've never doubted his love for Dean. I'm floored that you enjoyed this so much. I really had doubts about it and it still needs some fixing from my point of view, but I'm absolutely pleased that others have enjoyed it. Thank you so much for your kindness! Nicole |
