WoW - Desperate rituals is right. The end of this one had my heart in my mouth - again...

I always thought the trust John and Sam placed in Jay, his family and the ritual was very interesting. I always thought I'd like to know more about Jay and exactly what past he and John shared to enable that sort of relationship.

And the ritual itself was just beautifully described, would like to have been a fly on the wall during that one...

...and of course the continual lack of most clothes (especially on dean) is another very valid reason why I love this story...lol 

This chapter always reminded me of that very emotional 'drowning' scene in 'The Abyss'. So incredibly emotional, painful and yet wonderfully uplifting at the end when they manage to bring the victim back.

And how beautiful to allow Dean a moment of profound warmth peace and love. If anyone deserves it he does - yet somehow it wasn't surprising that he was accepting of leaving that paradice and returning to his brother's side. How very like Dean...

 Reviewing this story is something I've been meaning to do for a long time, as well as 'Ramble On' by Gaelicspirit...both stories have been my favourites for as long as I can remember and I'm very glad to have been able to spend the time reading them both again and this time reviewing.

So, the last in a fair line of reviews and all exceptionally well deserved. In fact I feel a little sad that I've come to the end..again. It always makes me frustrated though when I read something this good that maybe hasn't had the recognition it clearly deserves.

And this work does deserve it. Having read the whole story again over the last three days, I've come to realise exactly how influential your writing has been, especially this story...I can think of five more current posts that could be direct descendants of this work and that doesn't even include my attempts at writing.

With that in mind I would like to say a huge 'thank you' for the joy and influence this story has given me, and please don't waste time answering each of these reviews. I would much prefer you spend your time creating the sequel...I'm eagerly waiting for that one...

...and thanks for an excellent few days read! X Louy

Thought I would start at the beginning of something lost and VERY glad I did, This is great. Moving on to next chapter.

Ah this is getting very interesting - poor Dean, not wanting anyone else to touch him! Love the strange memory loss plot.

' I dont't think that requires cuddling' LOL 'they were hardcore'? don't know how you manage to mix such funny lines with such a serious plot but I'm loving every minute of it.

I like Kerri, she's feisty, a perfect verbal sparring partner for Dean.

Great reading about the boys past, and very believable. Another great chapter.

This is one of the best first chapters I have ever read. The action just does'nt let up and it's described so well I could see it all in my mind!

Fantastic read!

Love the plot twist in this chapter, i'ts been thought out really well, and works a treat. First time I read it I was there panicking with Dean. Great stuff.

And all is explained, this is such a simple plot but worked sooo well!

I spent a long time trying to figure out what would be the event that might make Sam leave but I never saw this coming! Great chapter.

You are still one of my fav authors!

This is the best yet! My world came to a halt when I saw you had posted so I could sit and savour the chapter and it was worth every minute. So glad you had the courage to tackle suicide head on. I also believe that anyone no matter how strong and selfless could be pushed to desperate places, and Dean had to do it right as he is so not a 'cry for help' type person.

Although I could also argue that Deans first and foremost motivation is to protect Sammy even from himself so its doubly true to his character.

God this is my longest ever rant on these pages, I hope you see this for the tribute to your work that it is. I am a huge fan - please update soon.
