Another intriguing chapter :) I liked the fact you had Dean call Missouri and it was an interesting touch having Ellen be the one to go help them. Poor Sam is really suffering now - I hope Dean can sort this out soon. Looking forward to the next one!

Author's Response: It helped clear the air between Dean and Ellen. I was wondering what had happened after the incident with Jo, as I don't think the boys had any contact with the Roadhouse from then until AHBL1, when Dean called Ash. So I was curious - and you know what happens when I get curious....LOL. Thanks, sweet. And of course, if it comes to freaky psychic stuff, who better than a psychic to help Dean while his Psychic Wonder is down for the count...Jules

OMG! You could have been kind at least and not left it on a cliff hanger! Bad Jules... Luckily it seems like the next chapter is already up so I can read it in comfort tonight since annoyingly work calls now. Great chapter as always and I enjoyed Dean mouthing off to Geoff - he really does need to get out of that habit! And Sammy's long legs save the day... LOL! :)

Author's Response: Oops..... lol. Yes, the epilogue was posted early. I had to bribe Sarah with Sammy pictures, but it was worth it. Ahh, Dean - well, it just wouldn't be Dean without that smart mouth, would it? But he does get himself into all sorts of strife with it - must be why we love him so....Jules

Well that just brightened my lunch break! That was really good, hon, and nice to see the boys get a chance to relax even if it was somewhat embarassing for Sam! I hope Alex liked it, but I'm sure she did given how up close and personal she got to get with Sammy! LOL! I really liked the banter and it was sweet how they both gave each other their prizes from the shooting gallery. Nice job, as always :)

Author's Response: Aww, thank you, sweet. Alex loved it, thankfully. (not sure if her husband did....) I had always planned the funnel cake bribe, and the exchange of gifts at the end. Some of the rest just took on a life of its own. And of course, the kiss was always planned - LOL...Jules

That was nicely done. There is realistically no way Sam would not struggle at least for a little while with the fear of Dean being gone again, and I like how it made Dean more determined in the end to start fighting to get out of his deal. Good first effort :)

Author's Response:

Thanks a lot for the review. I'm so glad people enjoyed it

Another great chapter. Loved the conversation about fushia, such a guy moment! Cute that the librarian was sweet on Sam too, makes a change from them all falling at Dean's feet! *g* The meal in the bar was just like watching an episode, felt really bad for Dean when a throwaway comment immediately killed the mood. But wow, I wasn't expecting the demon to recognise them - and now Sam just got his ass kicked. He's right.. Dean will be pissed... Can't wait for the next instalement! Oh, and get out from under the desk btw - Broken Images SO deserves to win! *nudges everyone towards the voting*

Author's Response:

Awww - officially blushing now... Thank you - and of course Alisa would have a thing for our favourite Geekboy - the real Alisa is a dyed-in-the-wool Sammy girl. Leaves Dean for you and me, hon. You grab his arms, I'll get his feet...

Ah, yes, our demon is going to give the boys a really hard time before he's through...Jules

Another lovely chapter - poor Dean, concussion is no fun but did grin at the deja vu Sam had to put up with! So many funny lines I can't quote them all, but this one in particular made me giggle;

"Dude," Dean muttered as he studied the two middle-aged men sitting at the small table on the other side of the room. "Have you noticed we're kinda - collecting people?" He nudged Sam with his elbow as he settled on the bed, leaning across his brother to place a fresh takeout coffee on the nightstand.

Sam glanced up, snorted softly and continued his incantation, a worn set of wooden rosary beads dangling from his long fingers. He came to the end of the Latin prayer, and dropped the rosary beads into the bowl of water balanced on his knees. "No, Dean, I didn't notice that we have two formerly possessed guys camping out in our room. Thank you for letting me know."

 Priceless! The boys were in character as always and Harry & Al are growing on me already. Great description of the demon too, it sounds totally plausible. Poor librarian though, she really did want Sam to notice her... 

 Until next time! Oh, and mega congrats on Broken Images winning the People's Choice award! *bounces*

Nicely wrapped up, hon. I enjoyed them finally cornering the demon, even if it wasn't in time to stop the fireworks (literally!), and I'm glad everyone was ok. Loved Bobby turning up as he'd been worried and it was sweet how glad Dean was to have a 'home' to go to, even if only now and then. The ending made me giggle too, with him worried about Bobby finding out they got their asses kicked by the midget demon! *g* I'm glad those folks have formed a club, they were nice and helpful. Good for the boys to have back up for once. Oh, but Sam getting kicked where he did? Ouch! That was just mean.. Even I winced at that one! I think this was my LOL moment in this chapter;

"What the hell have you two boys been doing?" the demon hunter demanded as he pushed by Dean and stormed into the room. "I've been tryin' to call you two for a day and a half!" He blinked in astonishment as his gaze swept around the room. "And who are these people?"

Dean shrugged as he tucked his .45 back into his waistband. "They followed us home, Bobby. Can we keep ‘em?"

Hope you have a nice sabbatical and that you feel better soon. Take care and thanks for another great story :) 

Very good! Only they could end up getting themselves in such a mess over a simple pair of boots left in the middle of the floor! Loved Bobby riding to the rescue, especially him reminding them they're supposed to be adults. LOL! Great job :)

Author's Response:

Michaela.

Loved yours Hun!  and yeah Bobby to the rescue! Love that man nearly as much as I love the boys!

I finally caught up with this one and wow, what a roller coaster! Our poor boys are having even worse luck than usual, I think I cringed all the way through.. I hated that ER doctor for even suggesting Dean would hurt Sam - what a moron *grr* But then the crash, and now the bear - it just gets worse! I did smile once or twice, mainly at Bobby's typical lines, and I'm really on the edge of my seat now.. I have total faith in you of course, so I just know Sam WILL be found but I really hope poor Dean doesn't believe he's dead for too long. Look forward to more soon, hon *big hug*

Author's Response: Thank you, Michaela. Oh - you cringed? Um, sorry about that. This one is quite full of angst, isn't it? And it's not over yet, unfortunatey. Even when they do eventually find Sam, Dean has a long way to go to forgive himself for the accident. *hugs back*

Really great chapter. I really like the doctor, it's nice to see someone else who gets the boys and their relationship. Nice tie in with John too, especially the fact he clearly remembers him well! I feel so sorry for Dean with all that guilt though, and Sam feeling helpless to do anything for him. Lovely final scene/image. I can't wait to see them sort it all out, and for Bobby to make peace with what happened as well :)

Author's Response: Saul Collins makes a nice contrast to the other bas....not so nice doctor, doesn't he? Bobby gets to make some of his peace in the next chapter. But Dean - well, he always takes the hard road, doesn't he?

Very nice finish. Loved the silent communication - they do that SO well anyway - and could just picture how frustrating it would have been for Bobby! I really liked the conversation at the end as well. Just the right amount of emotion while still being Winchester. And Sam adopting the rock *snorts* Priceless :)

Another great story that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Yay! I'm very happy to see this posted as it's one of my favourites of yours. You are more than welcome btw for my 'permission', as it were, but there really was no need for you to worry - it is different enough to mine I doubt anyone would even have noticed! I loved the first chapter, even though I winced when the Impala shuddered to a halt. Despite the tension between the boys I still had to giggle at this bit, it was so Dean;

Dean's grin was forced. "Yeah, sure - I'll just get my instant workshop kit out of the trunk. Better stand back when I hit the Activate button - the thing's freakin' huge. Got a working hoist and everything."

"A simple ‘no' would have been fine, Dean."

LOL! But now I'm sad, with Sam having stalked off and poor Dean not knowing what's up. Looking forward to the next chapter :) I'm now off to recreate scenes from Phantom Traveller at the airport *gulp*

I see you posted this one early - that'll teach me to only check on Fridays! Loved it as usual, especially the fight on the phone and then Dean knowing Sam was sorry without him having to say it. Although fancy Sam thinking Dean would run out on him *shakes head* He should know better. He should also know better than to hunt alone of course, that was always gonna end badly. And he so can't lie to Dean, can he! *g* But that parting shot.. Ouch. That was way below the belt :( Off to read the next one now..

Author's Response: LOL - hi, Michaela - yes, I threw in a wee treat. Aww, thanks hon. I'm glad you loved it - and especially glad that you allowed me to continue with it. And no, Sam can't lie very well to Dean - and the same goes the other way. The tension just keeps mounting though - something's got to give...Jules
