"akumabarai" means "demon cutting" which I thought was  appropriate.  ;)

I used to drive a '65 Chrysler, not a '67 Chevy; and like Dean, I raised my siblings when my parents couldn't.  I can relate to the overprotective streak.  :)

Excellent tag.  This has to be one of my favorite stories.  You've really captured the equivocalness (is that a word??) of the brothers' reltionship. 



Author's Response: Thank you so much. I'm thrilled you liked it! :D

 
Summary:

Thinking back later, Dean wasn’t sure what response he had expected.

Whatever response he might have imagined, nothing could have prepared him for what happened next.

Dude, this story is excellent!  I gotta admit, it's kind of cruel giving Dean *two* Sams that he needs to watch out for.

Can't wait to see how this resolves.  Keep it up!

Normally, I try not to read stories that aren't complete, and this is why - you're killing me,  dude.  Every chapter has been excellent and I can't wait to find out how this all resolves.....if it does.  :D  Fantastic job, as always.

This was excellent!  Very fun.  And I love the "voice" you've given to the Impala.



Author's Response:

Thank you so much!  I had a great time creating the "voice" for the Impala, and once she started "talking" it just sort of flowed.  I'd never done something like this before, so it was loads of fun, and I'm delighted it worked for you!  :-) Thanks for reading.

Cheers ~

Summary:

AHBL2  Sam didn’t know the particulars on his brother’s exploits, just that Dean liked sex and women liked Dean.  It was just a little sex, no big deal.  What more could there possibly be to know?

I shouldn’t begrudge him a good time, it’s just, he’s having fun and I’m the only one worrying about this?  In one year his bill comes due, how can he just roll over and die?

Author's Response: Thanks so much for that. I actually added that line in one of the final checks before I posted the chapter. I just felt that scene needed something. And it has just grabbed so many people - I'm a little awed, actually. Thanks for reading, and I'm glad you enjoyed it.....Jules

Wow, that was great!  Your story really "filled out" the episode.  I really liked that Dean felt guilty about accepting the pendant.  Thanks for writing and sharing!

Author's Response:

Thank you for reading and reviewing!  The xmas episode was perfect, but I love when I can explore it further and I really felt as much as Dean loved and wanted the amulet, he would also feel guilty about taking what was supposed to be Dad's. 

I was glad to give him permission for once to be selfish and keep it.  And I do believe it is one of those instances of "meant to be".  Take care, B.J.

Ouch.  Such a brutal moment for John, and what I imagine is a vicious cycle for him - he loves his boys, but believes he's not enough of a father, but he'll smile for them because he loves them, which would make him feel like more of a fraud, which.....



Author's Response:

I'm so glad you get it, it's not always easy getting a message across, esp with drabbles. lol I still believe John was the way he was because he felt like a failure. Most thought he was a jerk but I think he made mistakes like most parents. (fair enough his was big) But he still loved them and would do anything for them, including being a fake on father's day!

Thanks for reviewing xx

Hey there! Thanks so much for the review you left for my Father's Day drabble. I really appreciate it! I'm glad you liked the line you mentioned, it was one of my favorites.

If you liked this, you might enjoy my story "Parenting Your Gifted Child." It's where we first see the Father's Day card mentioned. If you check it out, I'd love to hear what you think! :)

Thanks again for taking the time to read and review!

This was really good.  I loved the way you wrote Lucifier's snark/menace, and how he tries to tempt Sam.  Very well balanced.

"Dean stubbornly refused to call out his brother’s name. It had to be Sam’s choice to get into the car. It had to be Sam’s choice to sit alongside his brother and fight." - That says it all right there.



Author's Response:

Thank you very much.  It's how I feel the show should go when it comes to bringing these two back together, Sam has to chose to be there and has to accept that Dean's going to test him for a while.  Faith in his brother, just as the brother's have to show other kinds of faith.

Thanks for reading and for the review!

This was really well done.  I think you captured John very well.  He's honest enough with himself to know the score, and what he's done, but it didn't stop him from being the father he was.

I am definitely looking forward to more fic from you!

P.S. If you're interested, I have a story on this site about Dean bulls-eyeing the bottles on the fence the first time.  It's called "The First Thing You Think Of"



Author's Response:

Thanks, akumabarai!  I'm glad you got those feelings out of the story as that was exactly what I wanted him to say.  I appreciate you taking the time to read and to send me feedback.

Until next story!

Author's Response:

Wow!  Thank you for such wonderful comments.  I have to admit, Gabriel is one my favorite OCs I've ever created and that includes original works in their entirety.  Hearing you liked her as well, along with the interaction with the boys, has me grinning from ear to little ear.

Nice.  I had been trying to imagine what this whole incident at Flagstaff would have been like, and you've captured it really well.  In the episode, the way Dean talks about the aftermath of Flagstaff, it sounded very alone, so I wasn't sure how it would work in the Brotherhood universe.  This was perfect.  I can't wait to read your next one!
