What do you say when you write your own bio, hummmmm, I guess you start at the beginning. My name is Crystal and I’m older than the impala!

I was born and bred in the beautiful state of Colorado and I returned home after a fifteen year absence. I can see Pike’s Peak when I look out my bedroom window, the mountains have always called me home.

I am a widow. My beloved John passed away from cancer caused by agent orange from his service in Viet Nam in July of 2004 that was truly the day the music died.

The craziest thing I ever did was marry John. How does that make me crazy you ask, well from first date to wedding date was a grand total of seven days, yes one week. We weren’t given a chance in hell of making it, but we beat the odds and had over twenty five years.

The greatest thing that came from our life together is our beautiful, smart, sarcastic, witty, crazy, twisted daughter Courtney, (love you baby) who has a story here under her penn name Makoto Kou.

I live with two cats in all their cat glory. Moze (who’s name was originally Smokey but the name mutated just like he did) is a 14 year old manx. He’s about the size of a small bear cub. My baby is Ghost a 4 year old gray terror.

I am addicted to Supernatural. Complete obsession. The horror genre has always called to me. I love the old horror movies, you know Bela as Dracula, Boris as Frankenstein and as the mummy. The atmosphere of those movies is incredible. It’s what your imagination does to make things scary. Not a real huge fan of slasher movies, but I’ve seen more than my share.

Music is pretty much the soundtrack of Supernatural. Those were my so called glory years if you will. Bad Co, CCR, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bob Seger. Also throw in a little classical, a little country, Garth Brooks, Vince Gill, Dwight Yoakum.

Some of my passions:

I love the poetry of Edgar Allan Poe, hauntingly beautiful works.

For some great reads check out the fairy tale series edited by Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling, awesome fairy tales revisited by some of today’s greatest fantasy writers.

Check out the photography of Simon Marsden (just google him and I’m sure you’ll love what you see)

I love art. Too many artists to mention.

I quilt and do cross stitch and doll making when the creative urge hits.

My favorite holiday is Halloween. Who doesn’t love Halloween.

I am a Scorpio, late October, my favorite month of the year, autumn in her full glory, she’s breathtaking.

Drop me a line I won’t bite. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

This was the very first fanfic I ever read, I can honestly say it was the start to my addiction.  I guess I have always measured other writers by what I read here.  I know I went through every range of emotion possible.  Sorry it's taken me so long to thank you for such  a wonderful read.

 
Summary:

November 2, 1987 John was a broken man. He should have known better. He should have known not to hope, not to dream, not to believe. The liquor had control over him as he lashed out at the one obstacle to his chance at oblivion.

This is such a wonderful story.  You know gowing up with John Winchester as a father had to be hard (although I am crazy about the man) We know he wasn't a perfect father, but I don't think you can ever doubt at how much he loved his sons.  Thanks for a great read.

Author's Response: I too love John, but you have to recoginze his failings too.  He is such a complex man, just like his sons, but he totally always without any doubt loved his boys.  Thanks for reading one of the early ones and letting me know it still has meaning.  Later, B.J.

 
Summary:

2.13 Houses of the Holy tag

"You pray?" The wheels in Dean’s mind were turning, trying to comprehend this incomprehensible information that had been so casually exposed. What do you pray for? I pray for peace in the world, for the strength to fight evil....and I pray for you.

Sacrifice by bjxmas Rated: T starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 19]
Summary:

This was tough, this dying. Dean always thought when he died it would be quick, in the heat of battle, in a blaze of glory. He never anticipated knowing and waiting, pondering his own imminent demise and what his passing would do to his family.

WOW!! This is so wonderful.  I've been going back through older stories.  You write Dean the way I see him.  The raw emotion was so overwhelming and heartbreking at times.  I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed this peek back in time for the Winchester family.  Thank you so much.

Author's Response:

Thank you so much for revisiting the older stories.  Funny, but I am just now rereading this one too, fine tuning it to send it off to be published in a zine and I love looking back at how I wrote Dean and realizing that he is such a real, riveting and intense figure and how much we are still learning about him. 

Much credit goes to the real writers on the show and of course, Mr. Ackles for making Dean so vivid and real.  Thanks again, B.J.

 
Summary:

He turned, expertly masking the mass of unshed tears and unspoken fears that threatened so very much to burst from his usually strong and controlled person. Expressionless in every aspect save for his eyes, his gaze met Anna Walker’s. A silent message was communicated.

He knew she was telling him first. He appreciated it.

He knew she was asking his permission to say it aloud. He gave it.

He knew he would never be grateful to anyone more than he was to her now. He silently told her so.

He knew she understood.

Their mutual gazes broke apart, and Dean continued to clean his prized guns as Anna relayed the series of events that took place that day at the hospital to Sammy.

Dean knew his younger brother would cry.

I must admit it was Dean's tear that was my undoing watching this episode.  Always sacrificing for everyone, especially those he loves most.  Beautifully done.

Author's Response:

Me too, absolutely.  JA always does me in with the one lone tear, altho Jared slayed me with his onslaught of tears.  No wonder Jared teased Jensen about stealing his scene! 

Dean is such an amazing character and his continual sacrifice for Sammy is so noble, but tragic.

Lovely to know the older stories still have life.  Take care, B.J.

Here's hoping the final three episodes gives us some of their emotional bonding in addition to the angst. Later, B.J.

Thanks for reading and for reviewing. That's so cool that you live in Colorado Springs ... it looks like a beautiful place. Some of the pictures of Pikes Peak i looked at when researching for this story were gorgeous.
