updated 11-2008--I dropped by this site to visit once and I ended up staying. I'm not a writer--I'm a reader and I envy all those talented individuals who inspire us with their gifts. My thanks you to all of you! SPVille has grown since those early days when a few writers frequented the site. I'm glad the kind reviews and encouragement has brought others into the fold. I don't visit as often or stay as long now but its still nice to come back.

Supernatural is an obsession of mine. Kripke has a fantastic way of bringing strength, loyalty and love from dysfunction while adding a bit of laughter along the way. What would we all do if we couldn't laugh? (probably cry)

Summary:

 NOMINATED FOR THE SENSUE PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARDS! VOTE FOR ME AT THE LINK BELOW!!! http://sensue.net/snfa/voting/index.php

He was surely dying. You could not be feeling this and not be dying. He had to be dying. Please, let me be dying! This was too much to live with, Sam wanted it to end, needed it to end. Oh god it hurt so much, so bad, oh god make it stop, make it stop, make it STOP! He couldn’t speak, couldn’t do anything but scream in total anguish, not knowing where his body began or ended, feeling, hearing, seeing nothing but the pain being afflicted on his being. It was pain beyond pain, and he welcomed unconsciousness as his body reached its limit.

NOW COMPLETED!!!

Oh, I LOVE this chapter! The interaction between the boys is fantastic. Sam saying it had been years and asking Dean to kill him. Dean watching as Sam tried to hold his breath (can someone really kill themselves that way??), Sam passing out and realizing it was only for 45 minutes....and Dean untieing Sam and holding him....so sweet!

You'd think that they could do/find SOMETHING to help though.

If you were disappointed in this chapter and excited about 5&6--can't wait to see whats coming:)

I really liked how you described Dean handling Sam leaving for college. Its sounds just like him.

Also like him admitting he's mad at his Dad.



Author's Response:

Thanks so much for the great review!   I'm glad you liked the fic and I'm glad to know I got it right.

Love the title and the last line of the chapter!

Poor Dean, poor Sam---sooo sad.

Refur-

Chapter is much better than the first. The imagery of the brothers running through the dark had me laughing my ass off!

Clever description of Papa Winchester as the "mechanical alcoholic". I like how everything is just too g*d* strange to be real. In a runny/sad way, you managed to captured Dean's character!

Good twist. Still wondering how the duplicate keys are going to turn out??

Evil (ok pissed off) Sammy is fun to see too:)

Dark, depressed Sammy and desperate Dean are cool. But looking forward to getting the real brothers back!

What made Sam change his mind? Was it the possibility of Jess?

"Do we have a problem?"

“Yeah, well, you know what, you’re just going to have to live with being surprised like the rest of us poor schmucks,” From now on, Dean was in charge.

----Great Lines!

Interesting to see after all the demons and monsters, their "inner demons" may be the most dangerous things the brothers have had to face.

Didn't see that one coming. Oh Man, that means after Dean fixes up this Sam he is going to leave him all alone again??!!

*snifle* Good ending to your chapter. Especially like how Dean is ready to kick Sam's a** until he sees the little kid look on his face. I'm going to miss this Sammy when Dean goes home, I feel for the poor guy. And WTH is real Sam?????

Refur--Glad you decided to post your catalogue. Gives me good things to read! Keep 'em coming ;)

You have a way of making even the most desparate moments seem funny...and yes, that IS a good thing. I bust out laughing everytime I hear "cell phone holder of DOOM...." :)

My mind kept traveling back to Sam holdin his brother's gun, lost and alone in the dark motel room by the light of the window while Dean throws back whiskeys in the bar--WOW, powerful imagery! Immanuel depicted beautifully, down to Earth, concerned, misunderstood, calm, funny, etc. (Lousy carpenter--too funny). Its nice to see the higher forces looking out for the brothers. He gave Dean just enough push to return and save his brother. I emptied my tissue box between when Sammy hid the gun under his shirt and when he flung himself into his brother's arms.

Happy Easter!!



Author's Response: As I said below, this review and the one before it brought tears to my eyes. What a blessing you all have given me, in your responses to this fic. It was something I just had to write, but I didn't expect such a positive response! Faith is such a tricky thing to write about, and one is never sure of how well it will be received. All of these reviews are treasured - thank you.

“Dude, are you cuddling me?”...OMG, OMG, OMG, that is the most I have laughed all week! (and thanks by the way I needed it)My freakin cheeks ache! I don't usually care for humor writing because most people can't pull it off, but Dude, Refur, you ROCK!

PLEASE consider making this into a longer story. It's got a couple more chapters at least! --At least let the boys fight the witch or break the curse and have Dean struggling with his memories and Sam struggling with everything. (Sorry, getting carried away..it's your story)--just too good to stop there!

A+ (from the teacher in me:D)

 
Gale Warnings by bayre Rated: T starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 165]
Summary:

  

banner by Neolani618

Sam has a mysterious teacher who considers hunting a type of homework. A revelation may cause one brother to lose the other in order to keep him.  The brothers learn exactly how much they mean to one another, how deeply their bond runs and what one will do for the other. 

All things supernatural don't have to be evil.  Dean and Sam get a look at the 'bigger picture.'

I LOVED Bonding of Souls so your new story caught my attention. I haven't read the other Elements story though. Did I miss too much to read this one first?

Author's Response:

Thanks, I'm glad you loved BoS...lol   This one can, I think, be read without reading Coming Storm first.  It had two OC's, but this fic is mostly Dean and Sam.  If you get to a part that's confusing, I can fill you in I without too much fuss.  This one isn't as dark as Souls was, but it's going to be plenty angsty!

Thanks for reading.....Laura

What's Dean's questions???????

Cliffes at midnight interupt my sleeep *growl*

Love how Sam has figured out Dean's growls.

 
Summary: Set after the events in " Nightmare". Dean is more scared then he amits to Sam.  He has to talk to someone about it but who? What other person would know what Sam is going through? The only other psychic they know.

Oh, thats so not right......That witch (using the term lightly) put the whammy on Dean! and Sammmy's having a rough night tonight (between both stories). I'm starting to feel pretty emotionally wiped....I think I need some funny or hey, how bout some of that communion wine? "Jesus saves, right?" :)
