That was really nice :) Great chick-flick moment but still in character for them both. And both explanations of why they do or don't believe in God made total sense.

Author's Response:

thanx a lot for your review:D I'm glad you think the explanations made sense, that was the whole point of this story, just to show that both Dean and Sam were justified for their reasons of believing and not believing.

 Thanks again for your awesome review:D

I loved this! You had the characters so right, both the boys and Bobby, and it really felt like an episode. It made me laugh aloud and brought a lump to my throat, and I adore the idea of Dean finally 'getting' how important he is to Sam that was begun with that fantastic speech at the end of AHBL2 and now continued beautifully with your story :) Absolutely excellent - well done!

Author's Response: Hey geek! *waves* Thank you so much for the lovely compliments - it played in my head like an episode, so I'm glad it felt like that for you. Thanks so much for taking the time to review. I know how busy you must be!

Wow, that was awesome! Loved Dean finding Sam in the shower and the comment about 'It's me - has been for the last few minutes' and then him taking offence that Sam saw him and screamed! LOL! Also liked the scene in the dinning room - poor Dean, so out of his depth with the posh food and Sam praying he wouldn't actually ask for a burger! And it was really sweet when Sam saved him from choking - just a little scene but it really reminded you of the brotherly-ness that always shines through (Did I just make a new word there?..) Really enjoyed it and can't wait till the next one! I'm especially keen after your last comment about a wet, naked Dean.. *slides off chair and onto floor as image runs through head*

Author's Response: Michaela - I like the new word - brotherly-ness. And yes, naked Dean is coming very soon - in a chapter or two. So glad you like it, hon, and it was great to chat to you the other morning. As for the burger, that scene just about wrote itself in my head one day, and I just had to get them into the dining room to include it. I could just see the woebegone look on Dean's face as he got his burger...Jules

OMG! Poor Dean! That cook SO needs to die horribly.. Now would be a good time for Sammy to come to the rescue - can't wait for the next one! ;)

Author's Response: Sammy is right in the room, and with the volume of noise that Dean is capable of making, there is no way little brother won't hear the screams...lol! The next one is ready for posting, and will be up very shortly. Thanks for the review, hon, they are gold to me....Jul

Noooo!! You have GOT to stop doing that to me :( Update soon, pretty please! Really enjoying it so far :)

Author's Response: Thank you so much for the review!! I'm so glad you are enjoying it so far...sorry about the cliffies - but they're so much fun! Updating asap.....

Hey! You joined the site - excellent! Nice story and really like protective-Sam. :)

Author's Response:

Yep I joined, thanks to you--Thanks for the review!

Good to see this one here as well! As you know, I love this. Bryn is great, the idea of them having somewhere safe to go is fantastic, and it was a brilliant mix of humour and brotherly moments. Really in character and well written - good job! :)

Author's Response: Thank YOU so much! Really.  Thank you.

Wow, this is getting really interesting! I don't know why but I guessed it was Dean, although you did a good job of making it difficult to tell till the end. There was just something about the way you described him moving and the look in his eyes that said 'Dean' to me though, so kudos for getting him in character even from such an unusual perspective! I really like the doctor and I hope she can help him soon. I'm really curious as to what's happened, and where the heck Sam is. I can't wait for more! :)

So now Sam has joined the party - I am going to hold my hands up and admit I have absolutely no idea what on earth is going on here, but boy do you have me hooked! You are really teasing us with the little bits of info that are coming out and it is so well written, but then that is par for the course with your stories :) I love how John is winning friends as usual but my heart is breaking for Dean/Sam - I cannot wait to find out what the hell has happened to our boys?? Just on a side note it is great to see things with their 'proper' names and spellings! At least as far as us Brits & Aussies are concerned, right? *g* 

Author's Response:

Hehehe - sorry... Glad you haven't figured it out - not that I would tell you if you did. And I agree with you re the proper names for things - at least in our neck of the woods. But there are subtle clues as to which brother it really is - have you found them?....Jules

Oh, you are a cruel woman - this is torture reading about poor Dean/Sam/John and I am still at a loss!! You are doing such an awesome job with this one, which is no surprise of course :) I am guessing from the description it's Bobby who's finally arrived now? I really hope it is and that he can help them - I am running out of fingernails to chew! *g* Cannot wait for the next update.. I may even have to dig out some Dean piccies for encouragement..

Author's Response: I am cruel - *hangs head, and smiles evilly*... Thanks hon - glad I have kept you enthralled. I even made Sarah break her promise not to beg for chapters - hehe...Jules

That was beautiful. I still have a hard time thinking of the time Sam and Dean spent without any contact during the Stanford years so I really like that you have Dean visiting for that first christmas. It was really sweet, especially the parts where they know what each other is thinking without words - Jensen & Jared convey that so well on screen - and I love that Sam prayed for his brother over everything else. Great job, hon, and thanks for sharing :)

Author's Response: Thanks Michaela - I have a hard time with that too. Especially when you consider that line in the pilot when Dean says that for almost two years he hasn't bothered Sam or asked him for anything - but it's obvious that they have missed each other - it must have been hard on both of them. And I agree - Jensen and Jared have breathed startling life into those characters that we've grown to love. And I do love their moments of non-verbal communication - they're so attuned to each other....Jules

Another good chapter - and what a time for a vision! So not good.. I particularly chuckled at this line, it was so like the boys;

Sam blinked in confusion, staring at the running shower with half closed eyes. "I already had a shower..."

"Good, then you'll remember how it's done." Dean stood up, keeping his hand on Sam's shoulder. "You want help, or can you handle it yourself?"

Oh wow! There was me, really into the story and on the edge of my seat when suddenly I get to your little message at the end! I'm blushing now.. Honestly, I'm the colour of the background on here and my colleagues are looking at me a little strangely.. Thank you so much for that, but it wasn't necessary - you're very welcome and I just hope you're feeling a little better now *hug* So, onto the chapter review - and OMG it just gets more gripping! I loved Dean's method of stopping Sam blurting out his name and the 'Freaky Psychic Kids Hotline' bit had me laughing out loud! The visions are getting really nasty though and clearly whoever is behind this has a horrible plan in mind for Sam. I hope they work it out soon and I hope Dean can protect him, and himself *gulp* Looking forward to next Friday! :) Brilliant as always...

Author's Response: Well, it helped - it really did. I'm feeling much better - this was a brighter week. Glad you loved the Freaky Psychic Kids hotline snark. And the spilling of the coffee - I wrestled a bit with that one, but decided to go with it - as Dean would do whatever is necessary to protect his brother, even if it means spilling Sam's coffee over his hand. And yes, things are about to get even worse....Jules
