I have returned after a brief hiatus from fan fiction.  I thought the time off would do me good, but it seems my healthy distraction in fandom was good for me and kept my mind off other things.

So I'm back, trying to keep my troubled mind occupied by being creative and reading good stories.  I am especially a fan of hurt or sick!Dean stories, so if you have any recommendations, fire 'em my way!

And if you take the time to read anything I've posted here, I am heartily grateful.  Constructive criticism, or even just a note to say you're enjoying it, are always welcome.

All my stories are also posted on my LJ - http://nong-pradu.livejournal.com/

Summary:

What would you take from someone that you had a grudge against?

How would you cope in a world of absolute isolation? With only your thoughts for company?

Dean's about to find out. Can Sam find a way to bring his brother back?

No spoilers, not set in any season in particular, although after season 1. Completely AU.

Supernatural is the property of the CW and Mr Kripke, what I do to the boys thought is all my own wicked imagination.

This was just awesome!!  I can't believe you don't have more reviews...

Your stories are somehow awesomely suspenseful, yet light-hearted, touching, and funny.  You've sort of got it all rolled up into one package.

I wish you had more of them to share... :)

 
Summary: Dean is totally into Zombie hunts right?  This one goes a little astray.  A surprise present for Merisha on her birthday.  Limp Sam, Hurt Dean, angsty protective both, hospital drama, fluff, and zombie goo.  Complete in three parts.  Rated for language.

This was just sheer brilliance.  I absolutely LOVED IT!  Dean was so freakin' hilarious in this, I couldn't stop laughing (except, of course, when I was trying not to cry).

AWESOME!!!

Oh holy sweet Jesus!

You are the master of suspense!  Nail-biting while reading is a dangerous activity, I'll have you know.  I should send you the bill for my next manicure!  lol.

Awesome!  Amazing!  Engaging!  This is exactly how I picture Dean as a dad.  The torture is so horrible, their bravery in the face of it so hear-breaking!

And now I cry, give me more! 

(More story, not neceesarily more torture)



Author's Response:

Sorry to say there is more torture to come.  Hopefull there is enough story to make it all worth while.  As I said in my review reply below, though, torture was the theme of this story.  I have to follow through with my planned story. 

You are easily one on my favorite new writers here so to have this review from you makes me very happy, indeed.  I am gratefull for the time and effort you put into reading and reviewing my story.

Do you talk on the cw chat boards?  I thought I saw your name...if it was you, it was a pleasure to read your posts.  The particular post I'm referring to was a slam on Dean and you really put the person in their place.  Your arguments were concise and to the point, not to mention factual and not emotionally based.  Thank you.

Sorry, went personal there.  Thanks again.  I really appreciate the review.  I look forward to more stories from you.

Holy rusted metal Batman!  I thought I had got myself caught up on the Ben Braeden backstory in your verse, but I so totally missed a series in between where you establish the whole mythology thing.

Now I've gone and spoiled myself!  (Not soiled myself -- let's not get them confused).

Awesome chapter, though.  Sam would just be so freaking scary if he ever gave in to the darkside, unleashed his big bad demon abilities in rage like that -- and I love how you have him recoil from it almost immediately afterward when he realizes what he's done.

Awesome!



Author's Response:

I am so sorry that you got spoiled.  I'm guessing that you missed "Choices."  I'd kind of wondered but I figured you got busy or didn't like it. 

I think Sam has great potential as an evil character...I doubt the show's gumption to go through with it.  Of course I doubted for a long time that they'd actually send Dean to hell when that was the proper story development choice. 

Thanks for the review.  I really love it when I writer I enjoy so much reviews what I've written.

Date: 01/12/08 Title: Chapter 1: ONE

The same could not be said of her husband, though. Mr. Sharp was just over fifty with thin, mouse brown hair pulled back into a middle length pony tail that accented his sagging face. Said face sported overly moist, goggling eyes and a melancholy, slightly helpless expression. He was wearing Moby-type glasses, slacks and, strung over a gut about as flabby as his face; a beige hemp shirt. Looking at him, Dean could just smell the steam cooked soy meat, stewing away happily to the dulcet tones of Kenny G.

Ok, this paragraph actually had me laughing out loud for a good two minutes.  Freakin' hilarious!  I love this story already!



Author's Response:

So glad to hear that... I am a little proud of Mr. Sharp :) *blushes*

This story is just awesome!  I have been reading it, completely engrossed!

The flashbacks to the hunt are so well done, and so are the 2005 scenes with Sam and Dean.  

This is really engaging and has the characters down, especially Dean.  I LOVE how you've portrayed Dean's stuck-in-the-middle plight, as well as John's gruff, stubbornness.  Can't wait for more!

Oh my God!  This is so funny and sad and tragic and awesome -- everything rolled into one.

I am completely fascinated with the whole Stanford years thing -- like how our sweetie Sam could have broken off contact with Dean for so long and why.  You've done a great job exploring that.

Hope you have another update soon!

Thanks so much for the wonderful review.  [blushes] There are three chapters to go and I plan to post them next weekend.

Oh my God John can be such a jerk sometimes!!  This so reminds me of his tirade at Sam:  "None of this would have happened if you'd shot that damned thing when you had the chance!"

Doesn't he realize the damage he does to his kids when he throws accusations at them like that, laying the blame for things beyond their control at their feet?!?

Awesome chapter.  I feel like you've really captured the softer and meaner side of John, both at the same time.

Well done!

That was REALLY interesting.  I love the idea of Dean praying -- it's so sweet and touching.

And I like that you have Castiel reminding Dean that he can get some strength from the God team.

Very nice!

Summary:

Six Feet Under Banner

Digging up graves is part of every hunter's life. Being buried in one - not so much.

Especially since Dean doesn't fit the main prerequisite of burial - he isn't dead. At least not yet. But if Sam doesn't find him soon, that might change quickly.

This was MUCH more satisfying than the ending of "Yellow Fever."

Nice closure, nice development of character emotions.  Sam felt like Sam (whereas in the episode both he and Bobby seemed a little too gleeful at Dean's expense).

This actually made me feel better.  :)
