oooh!  So whoever sent Dean that text on John's phone sent them straight to where Sara Jane is buried?  Are we going to find out who did that? I thought it was cute when Dean said 'geez'. The air Dean forced past his lips made a horse-like noise.  funny!  I could see that like it was on the show. 

Author's Response:

Eventually, we'll find out who sent the text.  

I know I've picked up some things from my husband so I wanted Dean to have that same blending of personalities.

I'm glad the horse sound worked for you.  Sometimes when I envision things in my head I'm not sure if they're going to work for other people.

Thanks for the review!

Wowy=zowy!  So Dean and Asher are going to spawn the anti-Christ?  That's deep.  What season does this take place in?

Ruby and Sam's actions and conversation is exactly like something Kripke would write.  They're both so sarcastic and the vernacular is witty.

So if Dean's married why is Sam living with Asher's parents?  Why doesn't he have a place of his own?  He's a grown man.

Dean helping Asher in the kitchen was cute.  I can see him in my head--- all domesticated. 

I'm definitely going to have to backtrack stories.  I missed the wedding, the honeymoon, Hell Queens, snakemen and the rivalry between Dean and Chris.  Is there a reason Asher has only man friends?

I love that Asher isn't messing up the brotherhood between Sam and Dean.  That's what makes the show so good.  I like that she isn't horning in and taking over.  It's cool that she feels like she's intruding instead of Sam feeling like the third wheel.

I liked the part where Asher admits she's going to snuggle up with one of Dean's shirts.  And their good-bye was so cute.  Not too mushy---- just mushy enough. 

Author's Response:

Thanks for the great review.  I'm thrilled that you still like what you're reading!  Dean isn't too domesticated, just enough to be responsible with household chores.  Something I'm sure he had to do when he was growing up.

Backtracking stories will fill in the blanks but I hope it isn't necessary for you to understand this story.

Asher is based on the women of my family.  I've taken those qualities which make them special and unique and rolled them into one person.  Asher having mostly male friends comes from my oldest daughter.  She just seemed to get along better with men.  Girls can be so jealous and catty.

Yay!  I wanted to keep the integrity of the show, especially the bond between Sam and Dean.  I didn't want to change that more than necessary when Asher married into the family.

The goodbye needed to be heartfelt without being gooey.  So glad you thought I did it justice. And what woman doesn't find something with her man's scent on it to keep close when she'd missing him?  That seemed only natural.

Thanks again for the review!

I like that Dean was able to confide in Asher and that it wasn't sappy.

So is Sara Jane buried under the road?  Is that why she can haunt two hotels?

I think it's funny the way Sam teases Dean about being lovey-dovey.  We just saw one small example of how tame he is when he's in love in Route 666.  He let Cassie walk all over him and wast totally adorable.  But I'm glad to see it isn't saccharine with Asher and Dean. 

Author's Response:

Whew!  This chapter was a little tricky for me.  I wanted to show that Asher and Dean have the kind of genuine relationship where they feel safe confiding in one another but Dean's so stingy with his emotions that I felt I was walking a tight rope.  It's good to know I didn't fall.

All will be explained.  Keep reading.

yeah, I loved Route 666 because we got to see a totally different side of Dean.  I thought he was adorable, too so I wanted a little of that between he and Asher.

Ooh! Asher has some freaky baby radar ESP?!

Dean and Asher becoming parents?  I'm not sure how I feel about that. I think it would cramp Dean's style. 

I loved Sam's reaction to finding the old bridge.  Now will they find the baby's bones?

Author's Response:

Thanks again for your review!  A lot of people don't take the time to leave one but I enjoy knowing what people think about what I'm doing.  It helps me stay on course.

Baby radar--- wait and see.  (Aren't you getting tired of me saying that?  Sorry.)

I knew the part about Dean and Asher becoming parents would be controversial.  Don't worry.  I'm not ready for Dean to change that much. 

The baby's bones.  Yep!  You guessed it.  Keep reading.

Another super chapter!  I loved getting inside Dean's head and how his mind changed from being so uncertain about becoming a father to looking forward to all the joyful things that will happen when he does.  I also liked his fond memories of the past.  all those things he did like giving Sammy french fries and learning about the stars on John's lap and watching the moon through the rear window were great!  So many times we hear about the crappy way they were raised but this there have to have been good times, too.  I think John did the best he could and although there were a lot of times when he wasn't the best father, I believe there were a lot of times that he showed his love for his boys.

Author's Response:

I picked my husband's brain for part of this.  I needed a man's perspective on becoming a father.

As much time as the boys spent in the Impala there had to be a wealth of good memories.  And John really did love his sons.  he did what he thought was best for them and like every parent made mistakes.  But there were also times when he got it right and went to bed thinking 'this was a good parent day.'

Thanks for letting me know what you thought!

OMG!  You can't leave us here!  No fair.

Okay, great chapter.  If you couldn't tell I loved it!  The action was good, the descriptions were good.  I could picture Dean giving that look when he said sonuvabitch.  Sort of like the Skipper on Gilligan's Island where he looks at the camera and gives a look. 

And suspense was good.  I knew Dean was going to fall through or lose his balance but when he did it was still great.  And the owl--- awesome!  Once you described the water and the rocks I had a feeling he was going to end up in it but I didn't think you'd throw Laura in there, too. 

Post again soon!!! 

Author's Response: Wow!  I'm delighted that you liked this chapter so much.  I like the comparison of Dean to the Skipper.  good one!  That's kind of the look I was going for but you described it better.  I'm very glad that you liked his spill into the river even though you knew it was coming.  And as for Laura... I can be a little devilish.  but it's all good fun, right?

First off: whew!!  So glad that Dean isn't going to be a father.  I'm still adjusting to him being a husband.  I have mixed feelings about him being married but I like Asher so...

I was surprised that Dean and Asher were disappointed.  I would have thought they'd be jumping for joy.  But I wouldn't know since I'm still in college with no steady boyfriend.  But to me it would be champagne time. 

I like how Dean plays off like he wasn't worried, that it was just Asher. 

Loved the whole Batman, Robin, Alfred thing! Cool that Dowser even got into it by making fun of Robin's sissy tights.

 

Author's Response:

I just wanted to throw a baby scare in there.  Most people are still getting used to me marrying Dean off so it will be quite awhile before there's a new addition to the family.

The disappointment was a personal experience.

Dean plays everything cool but we know what's underneath his calm facade.  And I know he's been compared to Batman a lot but I couldn't resist, especially now that he has accomplices. 

Thanks for reading and reviewing.  It's like beer and peanuts.

OMFG!!  This was epic!  Don't tell me that this is where you're ending this story.  THERE BETTER BE ANOTHER CHAPTER!  

There was so much emotion and dynamic between all Asher, Dean, and Sam.  And I loved how quickly the attitudes changed.  Dean went from only mildly concerned to angry then sad then furious.  I loved it when he punched Sam.  (Sam needs to punch him back one of these days.)

The way Dean's sadness for his wife's grief overpowers his fear of Hell is so beautiful.  That is Dean Winchester!  Putting others first.

I also love that Sam and Asher have a good familial relationship.  It seems so natural.  I would think that nay woman involved with Sam or Dean would have to be approved of by the other.  And Sam really likes Asheer.

At first I thought Asher was going to mad at Sam but then she wanted to kiss him for doing what he did. 

Poor Asher.  How horrible to find out Dean is still going to Hell after thinking he was safe.  The part where she confides that she's only kidding herself where Dean's death is concerned was touching.

It seems like Dean and Asher have a very good relationship.  Kind of like Dean had with Lisa honest, and deep and.  they were equals in the relationship and their home.  And Lisa had a practical view of Dean's past and her life with him.  but with Asher he has all that plus the heart-pumping, pulse-racing excitement of being in love.

I like that Asher keeps telling Dean that love conquers all and then works to make it true.  Sleeping Beauty is one of my favorites.

Wow!  That poem was creepy good!

A good introductory chapter.  I'm glad you hit the ground running again.  I really like that you don't ease us into your stories but throw us in the deep end and make us swim.

What's with the big bad rating?  What are we going to read about?  You said this is going to tell us about Dean and Asher's firsts.  Please tell me the rating is for their first sexual encounter.  You've been leading us down that path for so long that even I'm getting a hard-on.  ;) 

This chapter makes me wonder how this is going to play out.  Judging by the summary someone is going to go bonkers.  My money is on Asher which means Sam and Dean will have all sorts of angsty moments.  Yay for me! 

Don't think you're forgiven.  I'm still mad at you for leaving us dangling at the end of #5. 

Author's Response:

Geez, you really can hold a grudge.  :)  I was hoping that this chapter would win you over and you'd forget I left you hanging in the last story.  Guess not.

The big bad rating is for the wedding night.  We are such voyeurs.  I've had friends whining about not skimping on the details since they found out there was a wedding.  (Actually I think there were more interested in the wedding night rather than the wedding.)

All will be revealed.  Just keep reading.  And thanks for the R & R!
