I have read several of your stories about the "boys", and have liked them all.  You have managed to capture the image of them that has formed in my head since I began watching Supernatural.  They are special characters, and you treat them as such.  Thanks for allowing me to share your vision of Dean and Sam, it has been a pleasure.

Soulstorm -- what a great penname! Very descriptive of how one must feel at times. Thanks so much for letting me know that you've read some of my stories. I'm so glad you've enjoyed them, and I'm glad you think that I treat them as the special, unique characters that they are. I appreciate you taking the time to let me know. Hope to see you again!

I love the series so far,and I really enjoy the fact you are giving Dean some credit for having a great hunting sense.  It is only logical considering the way he was raised and the fact that he had been hunting solo before coming after Sam at Stanford.  I also appreciate the relationship between the boys from your stories, you capture it very well.  Can't wait for the next update, keep up with the good work!

Geat story so far, but you're breaking my heart here.  Poor boys, and why does it always come back to it being Dean's fault ;).  And I love Bobby, he always gives me hope that somebdy cared for Dean kinda like Dean cared for Sam when they were younger.  Keep up the good work!

Author's Response:

Eh, don't worry, Dean knows it's really not his fault.  More to come soon.

Thanks for reading and commenting. 

I love it! And I am not surprised, as I have enjoyed all of the stories by you that I have read.  I have no problem imagining Dean as a dragon, and am amazed that you managed to keep his care and concern for Sammy in place and believable.  Wonderful job, keep up the great writing!!

Author's Response: Thanks so very much.

As a tried and true Dean girl, I love this story.  As with all your stories, you seem to realize that you cannot have a good Dean story without Sam.  Sam defines him as much as Dean defines Sam.  My favorite Hunter would be so much less without the love and compassion Sam brings into his life.  I think old papa Winchester would have ground that out long ago, and while that might have made Dean a much scarier, deadly hunter, I don't think he would be as good a one.  You seem to capture the sibling relationship so well in all your stories that either you have a few, or your imagination is fantastic.  Either way, I look forward to seeing any of your stories come up, because I know I'm in for a treat...a great tale, with characters true enough to seem alive and with story lines sure to catch my imagination.  Long live the Winchester Boys, and thanks for sharing your playground with them with us!

Author's Response:

The boys wouldn't be the boys without each other, that's for sure.  Knowing you look forward to my stories is such a thrill, and inspiration.

I do have half-siblings, but never really lived with them, don't know them...so I guess it's my imagination that gets the credit.

Thanks so much for reading and the great reviews.

Sometimes when we lose something so huge, our brains cannot comprehend the pain and it takes something smaller to bring it into focus.  But once focused, like a laser it cuts through everything, burning a path straight into your soul and allowing all of the pain to come crashing in.  I thought your use of the flashlight was sheer genius.  By fixing it, Dean was trying to help fix Sam (no chick flick moments allowed), while also giving him a bit of their past.  Dean was also saying without getting all mushy that he had faith in Sam to keep the light burning.  You did a wonderful job, as you always do, and this one made me cry...Kripke and Co. better blow the lid off this story arc in an amazing way (as they always manage to do) because some of the fan fic writers are doing amazing jobs with their versions, and are giving the fans some very high expectations indeed.  Thanks for sharing your fantastic tales with us!

I'm a bit overwhelmed by the response to this fic, and at a loss for words.  Thanks so much for your comment, it's very much appreciated.

This episode nearly tore the heart out of me, and Jensen and Jared's acting was, as usual, top notch.  I cried while watching it, and again while reading your story.  I hope you are wrong though, about Sam, because if he ever turns, Dean will blame himself.  Castiel has charged him with saving Sammy and thereby the world, and Dean never could stand to fail his 'Sammy'.  And that is how he would see it, as a failure, and I believe it would break him more fully than even his time in Hell.  Because Hell was him, and this would be Sam.  And he has already showed that he was willing to go back to Hell, but he cannot stop trying to do everything for Sam.  Great story though, and I hope you write another, I look forward to reading it.

Author's Response: Hi there

I know how you feel, somehow though I felt as bad for Sam as I did for Dean, just 'cos he knows his brother suffered all that so he could be alive, whatever Dean's reason for making the deal.

I just think that the only thing that could make Sam turn would be the pain that his brother when through and his anger at his suffering. If Dean breaks then I think Sam might too, just a feeling.

Thanks for the review, I love it. mary xx
