Well I was born in the same year as the star of the show, that's the Impala of course, but classic isn't a word I'd use to describe me. I've a small son and now work part-time so that has finally given me the time to try my hand at story telling, and this wonderful website has giving me the opportunity to share. I live in Scotland, in a little village on the outskirts of Glasgow, one of the main towns. I love my country, my home and my Supernatural although not necessarily in that order.

 Since starting to write these stories I've realised that the hardest part is that you don't have actors with the abitlities of Jensen and Jared to help convey the emotion that you want to put across. What Jensen can do with just a look or a change of expression can take forever to put down on the page and you still can't do it as well as he can. Oh well at least I can have fun trying!

Finally got a chance to sit down and catch up on this. I love this story and this last chapter is completely heartbreaking and I not sure who I feel more sorry for, Dean or Bobby!

Looking forward to more, Mary x

Hey Mal

So Dean is on his feet, kind of, and they're back at Bobby's? You're gonna be nice to our boy now, aren't you?? :)

If this story is getting low stars then there is nothing you can do to fix the problem because it sure isn't with the story itself!

It might be someone that's new to the site, I had problems with the stars when I joined, and doesn't realise that each star is only a half? In fact - it MUST be that because if they don't like this story, there is no hope for the rest of us!

This is so where the boys are at the moment, I loved this. I nice little get it all out in the open moment and then try to move on.

The dragon you were standing on, as if you were f~cking St. George himself---who's throat were you actually crushing? Was it Lucifer's, or was it mine--?" - loved this line.

And this one - But you drove me to it, Dean. All I ever needed was for you to sit and talk to me like I was an equal. Not little Sammy, not your assignment from Dad.. Just your brother, and as someone who was as deep in this shit as you are.

Looking forward to the next part, Mary xx

What a wonderful story. It had a little piece of everything that I enjoy about the show in every chapter. You captured the mood of S4 beautifully and still found time to kill Ruby! lol

It was a joy to read and I loved that it was Castiel that gave Dean the vision/dream. That he tried to show Dean that there could a happy end to it all some day. To quote the show's signature tune by Kansas here: There'll be peace when you are done/Lay your weary head to rest/Don't you cry no more. I could really see it finishing like that.

Sad to see it end, and I look forward to the next one. *sets alarm clock for the muse* :)

Thanks for this, Mary xx



Author's Response: Thanks so much,  Mary,  for your kind reviews.  I did enjoy writing this story,  but I needed to finally end it,.  I hope I'll find the bug to write more,  but I feel pretty spent.  Wish I could think more season one-ish,  but it was so long ago,  I think it might be too far from the present now for people to relate,  and I'm not crazy about the current television story line,  at least from a writing standpoint.  Time to get reading,  yeah?  --thanks again---mal

HI BJ

I liked this, but I like dark and angsty. I couldn't decided which brother I though it was until near the end.

The title and the reaper line made me think of NRFTW and I thought it was Sam at that point. Dean's grave and being hunted down to his last day.

In the end though, as soon as you mentioned kneeling and calling out his name it was instantly Dean.

The scene at the end of AHBL1 was for me, one of the most powerful in the whole show, Dean's final cry of Sam is etched into my brain forever. I loved the image of Dean holding Sam in his arms, crying for his fallen brother - I get a lump in my throat everytime I watch it.

Loved that this story made me think of it again. It's what the show is all about. Love, loss and two brothers as you highlighted in this little one shot.

Thanks again BJ, Mary xx

 



Author's Response:

Thanks, Mary, that is exactly what this show is about, love, loss and two brothers.  I only hope they find some happiness and are together at the end.

I agree the title with grave mentioned and the reaper coming for his brother sounds like Sam losing Dean in NRFTW, but the final scene of kneeling in the puddle, that is most definitely inspired by AHBL1.

I agree, that was the most powerful scene ever, and for someone spoiler free, quite a shock that they actually did it.  And now look at us, so much death and thankfully resurrection for our brothers.  

Really glad you enjoyed my story and shared your thoughts.  Take care, B.J.

I absolutely loved this. Had me smiling all the way through. Great stuff and a lovely bit of foreshadowing thrown in as well!

Love how Dean's getting the car but Sam get the biggest stick! I have a brother like that!

Seriously good, thanks for that, Mary xx

Well I have two older brothers so I was lucky to get a stick!  And if I did, they broke it, so Sam should think himself lucky!

This is great honey, I've really enjoyed it so far and can't wait to see where you take it. The fight in this chapter was awesome and finally Sam is free of Lucifer. I worry for how long though.

Loved Lucifer's touch eating away at Dean's insides too.

Loved this chapter and the idea of the fallen angels. I did look at something like that for a story but I couldn't get it to go the way that I wanted.

I think you should just stick to what you are going to do and never mind where the show takes it's own version of the mythology. Half the time I think Kripke steals from us fanfic-ers anyway! lol

I think that it is an interesting way to go and I for one would love to read it, so go for it girl!

Maybe I am obsolete.

This was the line that stood out for me BJ. Dean's big fear that he has been replaced by his brother's power and that Sam doesn't need him anymore, because without that, in his own head, what really is Dean?

You capture Dean fatigue and doubts in here beautifully and the brothers are so not good, not even close.

They are killing me too. Looking forward to part two and Sam's take on things.

Mary xx



Author's Response:

Thanks, Mary, always love your reviews.

Oh, poor Dean, he does see himself only in the context of family. Without his family, what does he have?  I think he was rediscovering his passion for hunting, saving people, doing good for the world.  Unfortunately then he got hit with the news he broke the first seal.

When he is most hurting, he does need his family and yet, here again he feels lost, abandoned by the very ones he needs.  Both guys are so broken, so shattered by all they've endured and unable to be there for their bro in support.

All I can say is Kripke better put them back together soon!  Take care, B.J.

 

 
Reviewer: Smudge93 Signed starstarstarstarstar
Date: 03/05/09 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2 - We Are So Not Good

HI BJ

As you know I'm a Dean girl but I feel strong for Sam's plight this season. He's lost his brother and himself.

I loved Sam's take here and I think you nailed his inner fight. He started this because he had lost Dean and when his brother came back he used the change in him as a kind of justification for keeping doing it. Dean wasn't Dean so Sam stepped up to the mark. Doing what he believed he had to do.

I still feel that Sam's overwhelming urge to destroy Lillith has nothing to do with saving the world. It's good old Winchester revenge, she hurt his brother - she held the deal and she wouldn't let Sam bargain for his brother. He's going to hurt her back.

Up until last week's episode I still think he thought that he was doing good, but I think even he has doubts now.

Sam has turned bad by trying to do good but I feel that we've still got to see Dean's true colours in all this. I worry that Sam is pushing is brother into the arms of the angels.

I think this season is going to end badly but I hope that the journey will end well.(Pretty please Mr K.)

I want him to get his brother back too.

Loved both POV's, Mary xx



Author's Response:

Thanks, Mary!

Oh, yes, Kripke had better be listening to us and bring those boys back together.  I completely agree, Sam is so lost, but he was broken when he lost Dean.  He wanted to make Lilith pay for that so he took the only avenue he saw to get strong enough to hurt her.

Then Dean comes back, he tries to stop what he is doing.  He knows it's unsavory, but Samhain and everything else is coming and he needs to be strong.  And then he realizes Dean isn't Dean and for the first time, he needs to fully protect his brother.

Another reason to go back on the juice, and then he scares himself, sees that maybe this has gone too far, that he can't handle it as well as he thought.  Too late, he's hooked.

Sam is a contrast in revenge, wanting to do good, and just plain addiction.  I so want them to find each other again and be brothers united.

Thanks for such a  well thought-out review.  Take care, B.J.

 
Summary: Past Featured StoryHas Sam really told Dean the whole truth of what happened to Alastair?

Spoiler for: "On the Head of a Pin."  

Tag for: "On the head of a pin" at the end of the episode - an extension of the conversation between Castiel and Dean... perhaps it will be resolved in the next episode, but for now, the question that wasn't asked is, and Castiel gives an answer Dean doesn't want to hear.

Dean and Angel angst...

Many thanks to Schelz, my Beta and for her encouraging words to my Muse...

Hi Jacq

This was such a heartbreaking scene, Dean doubting himself so openly and I think you've picked up nicely on the part that they didn't show - Castiel letting Dean know what his brother was now capable of.

This was great, I liked it.

Congrats on a well earned feature too!

Hey Primrose

I get to leave you a review for a change! I like that it was Adam you chose, a little outside of the box thinking by picking the third son. Nice. 

I liked this and freakily enough I had just posted something of a similar nature when I read this...well it was a phone message thingy at least!

Thanks for this, Mary x



Author's Response:

Hi, Mary!  I am so happy to see your review- thank you!  I was wracking my brain trying to come up with something for this challenge, and it finally hit me to try Adam at 3 in the morning one night.  The phone angle comes naturally of course because that's the only way the boys communicated with John except for just a few episodes.  It's a HUGE part of their relationship with their father. 

If you're interested, I have a few stories that are longer than a hundred words too.  I was trying some more out-of-the-box thinking for them, and I was pleased with the results.  They're So You Want to Hear a Story, Playing Orpheus, and Omie Wise. 

I'm excited to see what you've written too.  See you there!
