So after having read "The Fallen" I was pleased to see that you had written another story with those wonderful angels and that horrible demon. Its took me two days to read this story from my mobile, I enjoyed every word of it and just didn't want to put it down, got kind of annoyed when I had to eat or sleep, lol!!!

I loved reading more of the personalities of each of the angels especially Uriel what a cheeky so and so he was but it was lovely see that he wasn't so different to Dean in hiding his softer side under a load of bravado.

You were so evil with what you put poor Dean through, but it was all very well written and I am so glad that you put him back together again. I particularly liked everyone banding together around Dean to protect him and mke sure that he was alright. He must have felt very loved and cared for in some way, even if he wouldn't admit it. 

Oh and bringing Mikey back to possess Michael was quite genius because in a way it gave Dean a chance to face his "demons" excuse the pun and defeat Mikey once and for all with the angels at his side.

It was all very interesting reading how Dean's power developed as the story grew and I loved how he described it to Sam and Raphe. I am glad that he had Raphe to guide him and help him with those powers and that Dean actually felt a bond with the angel and opened up to him, I think this was very mature and really helped Dean cope with finding out what he was capable of doing. And boy is he powerful, I never would have imagined what he would be able to do with those powers. Once again putting others before himself and healing them before he even thought to seek help for his own wounds. I wouldn't have expected anything else from him. I am so pleased that after all the pain he experienced throughout with Mikey tormenting him and taking peoples pain as he healed them, that he at least didn't feel any at the end when Raphe was healing him. I liked that you left the story where it was because I like to imagine what they needed to discuss, also it might be cool if you let us know in another story in the future.

Oh I have to mention Bobby, Sam and Jo. I loved reading their individual stories and how everything effected them. Sam was wonderfully protective with Dean against the angels and I loved reading him becoming quite fierce with that protectiveness too. Sam's concern for Dean was well written and I really felt his frustrations about what everything could mean for his brother, even hurting him unintentionally was emotional sutff.

I really enjoyed this story and again the pacing and descriptions were excellent, thanks for sharing.

you write wonderful reviews! they speak about the words and the emotion it causes you to feel and that rocks my world.

Thanks for taking the time to read, i really appreciate it. You have made my day.

WOW...........I'm not sure what to say for a second, I think I need to gather my thouhgts...........I have to say that I throughly enjoyed reading this story from beginning to end it was very compelling. 

I started reading a couple chapters at a time, but last night I started chapter 6 and I don't know what happened, I just kept reading and reading, I couldn't tear my eyes away. Before I knew it my poor old laptop died on me because the fan was going nuts and the power cable came out, it was about 12.45am, giving me an extra cliffhanger in the middle of one of your chapters, hehe. I couldn't wit to pick it up again this morning and finish the story.

I really wanted to do a review of each chapter but I just couldn't tear myself away from the story, so i thought I will wait til the end.

Anway, to say again I loved it, it was well written, and easy to follw. I loved the pacing and the flashbacks adding more depth to the story. And OMG what you did to Dean was so mean, but you did a good job in capturing the boys, and Bobby's personalities. I loved the tender moments between the brothers and Sam looking after Dean, you really captured their feelings and emotions well, my heart really ached for them all as each had to deal with their own issues, the moment Boobby hugged Dean in the bathroom made me well up. And wow Dean having daughter, what a clever twist, made for excellent angst and more meat on his backstory. I enjoyed the light note you left it on, I think that is needed it and good for Bobby getting the girl that made me smile.

Phew that was a bit long. I just wanted to say I enjoyed it and I am looking forward to getting stucking with your other stories. Thank-you for your time and effort you put into the writing, I love reading a good story anyday, and because I am not a writer myself I appreciate those who have this special talent so that I can escape and enjoy other worlds for a little while.

Thanks and keep up the good work.

Well that was another story I just didn't want to tear my eyes away from, only when they started turing the same shape as my laptop screen.

I did enjoy this one, I liked the scenes when you played inside Dean's poor head. It was very interesting that you explained more about the souls that Dean would have tortured in Hell, giving us more to think about, in the main storyline on the show, because I was wondering about the souls he would have tortured on the show and this was a pretty good perspective on that.

I liked the introduction of Robert, I enjoyed reading his character as your story progressed, it was nice to see another family member that wasn't totally in the imediate Winchester circle. Thats another thing I have wondered about is how big the family is from the shows perspective, you know where are the Aunts, Uncles, cousins etc? I really did like him and the connection you gave him to Dean that was a nice touch, because it makes it feel like Dean isn't alone with his pain and torture anymore, I know that sounds bad that someone else felt it, because I wish they hadn't but at least Dean knows someone who understands some of his pain. I would love to see Robert turn up in some more hunts, maybe after this experience with the two of them Dean could connect to Roberts feelings in a small way as a residual side-effect, not a full-blown power but something to come from their shared experience. Maybe we could see Dean sensing Robert in trouble or something like that in the future, who knows? :o)

Gosh and the chocie you made Sam make, that was awful, I really wasn't expecting him to put his revenge against Lilith before the wellfare of his brother and sending him back to hell rather than Ruby. Poor Dean feeling abdandoned, but I could almost feel the light in his eyes on my screen when Sam showed up to take him back and he realised Sam had come for him, that was wonderful. The twist with Ruby going into Dean was fun to read too, the thought of her inside Dean made me cringe, hehehe.

Nicely written and I could feel their thoughts and emtions jump out of the screen at me, I love your descriptions.

Once again I loved the lighter note at the end, they always need that and I am pleased that Dean forgave Sam, there was never any question he would, but I know it still hurt him, nice to see them together again and been given the chance to talk on the road to sort through things.

Thanks for another great read, I loved it. I am off to find another one to sink my teeth into. I hope you don't mind. :o)

P.S. Please don't stop writing. ;o)

I think I am going to enjoy this story, please continue adding more chapters to it. It is very nicely written, and easy to follow.

I am worried for Dean and really want to find out what Ruby has up her sleeve. I wonder what Sam is going to do that will upset.

I am looking forward to the next chapter. :)

I enjoyed reading this story, thanks for sharing it.

How horrible for Dean to be paralysed in such away that he was still aware of everything that was going on around him and having to see and hear his little brother in his grief was very heartbreaking. 

I was so angry with Ruby, the way she knew what had happened to Dean and left him that way anyway. I never liked or trusted Ruby in the show, so you really brought out what I hated about Ruby with the way you wrote her. (Of I loved to hate Ruby) I think I could understand how angry Dean was feeling but also his hopelessness to be able to do anything.

Very nice story.

Gem :o) xxx

Yes it did make me smile. :o) I really enjoyed ready this funny little story. I have read lots of angst filled ones and sometimes it nice to just sit back with a little silliness. Poor Dean, I would hate to have been in his shoes, although I would liked to have been in Sam's shoes when he was applying lotion lol!!!

Thanks for sharing.

I have caught up with all the chapters now, sorry for not reviewing as I read.

Its interesting to see the aftermath of what happened to Dean in your first story and how all the characters are coping with it. Pulling Dean back into the woods, was very mean but ultimately I really think that it will help him come to terms with it all, get some payback and lay some of the demons to rest. 

Gosh what does the Bendigo have in store for Dean? I want to know but also worried to find out.

Thanks for taking the time to post this story, I look forward to the conclusion and hope that future looks brighter for Dean too.

Sorry its taken me a while to write a review, had a busy couple of weeks and just got a new laptop, so getting used to it.

Another brilliant chapter. I particularly liked Bobby comforting Dean I thought that was nicely described and worked better for me than Sam doing it. While I love the brothers relationship and interactions with each, I also like to see their other relationships too, and I think Bobby and Dean's is quite special. It was funny, that Dean thought Bobby was joking about where they were, it really added to the concept of how annoying it is that they had been trying to find the things hideout and it was right under their noses the whole time.

Sam is pretty amazing, he really wants his brother out of there and safe, doesn't he? I love protective, proactive Sam, he can be just like Dean when he wants to be. Oh and they way you gave Sam a taster of how it must of felt for Dean at the mercy of Lee. I think you have definitely opened up some new understanding for Sam about what his brother went through, but its horrible that he even got that glimpse. And how horrible of Sam to have to chose to let Bobby go into the hands of the Bendigo to save his brother, such a heartbreaking thing for him to have to go through.

I am so worried for Bobby, my heart was pounding, while reading about him getting tossed around by the Bendigo, I hope he will be alright.

Very clever way to get Kathleen up top, I liked that Dean still has a brain, under all that pain(hey that rhymed, lol) and managed to create a way for them to get out of this situation by manipulating the bendigo. Very nice.

I can't wait to read the next chapter. Good stuff so far.

Gem :o) xxx

This was another great chapter. I was really worried for Sam when he started to hear Dean calling for him and went out in his bare feet, trying to get to his brother regardless of the pain. That was really quite emotional stuff that "Dean" was spitting at Sam, definitely not things the real Dean would say, but still I wonder how Sam will react to what was send when he joins the land of the living again. I think he will be pretty hurt and might find it difficult to get over.

You are so mean, I was holding my breath when Dean couldn't find Sam's pulse, I thought, no you wouldn't, would you? This is Dean's worse nightmare, its always horrible to read when the boys think they have lost their brother, so heart-wrenching.  

I was so relieved when Sam started making sounds, to show that he was still with them.

I need to know that Sam will be okay, so I look forward to the next chapter.

:o)

Poor Sam dreaming about the night Michael took Dean as his vessel. It must be so hard for him to have to relive that event over and over again. Must still be even harder that once again Dean stepped up and put himself before Sam to save him, not that we expect any less but it still hurts Sam so much.

I am pleased to see that Bobby is taking good care of Sam, watching out for him so that he doesn't go off the rails in his search for his brother.

I have wondering what would happen the boys if they said yes to their respect angels and those angels finally left them. I know Castiel showed Dean, buts its interesting to actually imagine it hppen now to Dean through your words. Poor Dean, why would Michael be so horrible as to leave Dean's body with no mention of where he is? its just not on really. 

Castiel searching for Dean is brilliant, I liked that he sad he won't quit trying to find his friend, I can feel his determination to find him. And why aren't the angels willing to help find Dean? Are they afraid of something? Is there more to this going?

I have to find out more.

:o) Gem xx

Wow, Anna has come to visit him? I didn't see this coming. So does this mean that on some level Dean is aware of what has happened to him, if he silently asked Anna to help him and his eyes started to tear up?

Poor Dean. So his situation is a test for someone else, I have to know who, perhaps Sam or Castiel? Quite cruel to leave Dean this way though, but its reassuring to know that Anna is watching over him to keep him safe until Sam finds him.

:o) Gem xx

Well at least Michael had Anna watch out for Dean, I suppose thats something. Its so frustrating when the angels don't step up and do something because they say its not their place too, I find my self wanting to shake some sense into them lol!!! So we need to know why Anna didn't tell Castiel, why she has left Dean this way and what Castiel can do to help.

If Dean's body is "failing him" does this mean that there is a time limit to all this. Sam has to get there fast, he should have taken a plane, but I suppose he would need to bring Dean home again so what better way than the Implala? 

Where has Anna sent Castiel and what is she up to? I'm not sure I believe her sincerity in her apologies to Dean. I have to know what she is doing.

Off to read the next chapter.
