Hey Girl

Just thought i would drop you a line here as well while i was reading thru your stories getting them fresh in my mind again ... they are always a joy to read.

I was just thinking that this story would have been the first time that you had written a pre-series story yeah? Makes it even better that you nailed it :P seriously great work I do really love the way you portrayed John in this one!!!!!

Ur Amanzing!

Luv Tara x0x



Author's Response:

Thanks, Tara. Yeah, this was my first attempt at pre-series stuff... you are so awesome at it that I wanted to see if I could match up. Plus, I had to fill in that hole I created when writing Into the Fire.

I appreciate your leaving multi-site reviews -- so thoughtful! And I'm thrilled that you are re-reading my stories! *claps* Could not give me a higher compliment. Thank you!

Take care -- GS

Author's Response:

Girl -- you crack me up. Especialy when you're operating on no sleep. :)

Loved that you got the 494 reference. I couldn't help myself -- even though it's rare for roadside motels to have a 4th floor... but oh, well. I thought it was funny. And it was like 1am when I was writing that part!!

So glad you liked this and you know I always love your reviews.

No, go get some rest!

Hey :)

I already left a review with the story on ff.net but thought i would say hello here and tell u how much i really already love the theme of this story. The fact that Dean's deal and Sam dealing with that is the main part of the story is awesome and im really looking forward to seeing where this goes!! Writing as always is amazing!!! Kudos to both of you :D I cant wait for more :D

Dude, that was awesome. So many classic Dean moments that had me smirking, smiling or laughing hehe. You had Dean stuffing his face which you know i love :P plus the whole background story of the boys dealing with Dean's deal which i am really loving especially after reading Rain Check hehe

Loving it mate. You always blow me away with you writing talent :)

Tara x0x

Ps. I did leave a review with Sojourner too hehe and i would have reviewd this straight away but my granfather showed up ... and no-one else was here ... you'd understand if you knew him why that was a hassle lol cant wait for more :) x0x *HUGS*



Author's Response:

I love how much Dean loves food. There are times that I literally forget to eat and I don't imagine he would ever suffer from that. :) Thanks so much for reviewing on both sites! That's awesome -- I know how busy you are. :) Mostly because I keep asking you to do things. Hee.

Thanks, too, for the kudos on Rain Check. Much appreciated. Hope to see you again and often as this story plays out!!

Hello :D time for my second review hehe.

hmmmm well i think this story just keeps getting better and better ... i wont go into everything like i did in my review at ff(dot)net but i have to say the bird part was a classic .... i loved it and as i said in my other review i love it when sam sees that his brother is distburbed and takes control of the situation like leading him away from the body ... I really love the way u write that stuff.

And i had to mention it ... well just because its made me smile everytime lol in recent stories whenever u have mentioned Dean playing/liking baseball it makes me smile because in the brotherhood he is really big on baseball. Totally irrelevent piece of info for u but i just had to say it lol.

Anyways i loved this chapter even more than the last so keep up the amazing work :)

Luv Tara x0x



Author's Response:

Tara! Thanks so much for leaving us reviews in multiple places! That is much appreciated.

I'm glad you're enjoying this -- and that you're liking the baseball stuff. I didn't know the Brotherhood had a thing for baseball (as you know), but I haven't been able to get the idea of Dean and baseball out of my head since he did that kick-ass slide into the grave to spear the zombie in CSPWDT...

Can't wait to see what you think of the next parts!

Best,
GS and SJ

Hey Amanda

I really enjoyed this chapter so much. The comedy for a start was just so damn good and had me laughing anf copying and pasting bits and to Lisa in Yahoo lol coz it was just so damn funny and i could totally picture it happening lol.

The moment where Sam woke up and Dean was gone had me worried and Jittery Dean almost on a coffee overdose was great ... for some reason i wanna see that on the show lol

The confrontation with each other about Dean's deal killed me ... the emotions were so strong and Dean admitting that he's not afraid to die but afraid of whats waiting for him made me want to hug him so badly. I really really LOVED the whole "It's my job" "You're Fired" comments lmao omg that was a classic!

I think i got queasy myself when i was reading Dean checking out the body ... yukk .. Dean bodies aren't fun to look at normally let alone all squished up *shudders*

Damn cops are a pain in the arse :P Yay for Sammy saving his arse there :P hehe

I loved it and i really love how long your chapters always are :D Cant wait for the weekend now :D

Luv Tara x0x



Author's Response:

Okay, I LOVE that you were pasting bits of the chapter to Lisa on IM. That had me chuckling for a long time. What a compliment -- thank you!

JitteryDean *would* be great to see on the show... moving all the time, talking really fast... how adorable.

I'm so happy the confrontation in the motel has worked for everyone -- my husband would just shake his head as I would literally move through the motions and spit out the "lines"... but we wanted it to feel real.

Smushed bodies... bleh... *nods head in agreement*

I'm so glad you like the long chapters -- SJ and I had a moment of worry about that during Wednesday's chapter, but we decided to throw caution to the wind and just tell the story as it poured out of us, hoping for the best.

Glad it's working so far! Here's me hoping for another "Shootout" chapter to be posted soon... "Sweet Child" has been playing in my head for awhile now, girl...

Best,

GS (and SJ)

Okay I was too tired to review earlier when i reviewed at SoJourners page so I'm finally getting around to doing it now hehe,

I especially loved Sam getting Dean home from the bar. I've wanted to see Dean with too much to drink and this was even better coz it was coupled with no sleep and way too much caffeiene lol

I loved Sammy being nervous about the nightclub and Dean sorta picking on him when he came out of the bathroom that was so cute hehe

And omg Dean and Sam athe nightblub .... but Dean especially ... omg why cant i see guys like that when i go to nightclubs??? lol

Yay that whole fire scene was awesome. I the trickiness of finding out what the guy had done and wantong to see the guy burn themselves coz lets face it anyone like that deserves a painful death hehe. Dean getting stuck and Sam rushing in ,,,, i was so riveted and loving the hurt dean hehe I liked the connection between what happened and Dean's deal ...

awesome chapter :D Loved everybit of it

Tara x0x



Author's Response:

Hey Tara! Thanks for posting reviews on both sites -- you're a gem! I'm glad you liked Sam getting Dean home from the bar -- Dean had been wired for sound, and so much had happened in the motel room that we knew there needed to be a pretty big low for him to bounce up and grab onto life again.

I've seen others write DrunkDean with hilarious perfection -- but we didn't want this to be about his being drunk as much as it was about his being low, hurting, resisting Sam's help until he had no choice and then realizing what he was doing to both of them and fight back with a vengence.

So glad you liked the nightclub scene -- I'm with you! There were never guys like that at the clubs when I used to go. :) But I could so see him moving like that in my minds eye -- and having the music in my ears totally helped the scene.

SJ did a fantastic job with the fire. She really brought the outline to life. *Grin*

Thanks agian for reading and we hope you enjoy the next parts!

Slainte,

Hey!! :D

So glad this new chapter was posted before the big day :) I was thinking about the story today while i was out so it was refreshing to come back and be able to read it :)

There was so many good parts and I know i will forget most of them lol but i'll have a go anyways.

I liked how it continued from the last chapter into this one with the car ride back to the motel. I felt for the boys. Being in a fire is no fun especially with how close they came to copping it. I loved the patch up and Dean's stubborness with patching himself up without Sam's help. I liked how Sam mentioned the ring:D and the way he took control when patching up Dean's hand. You especially know how much of a Dean girl I am but i do love Sam getting all protective of his brother. It's at those moments that I really love Sammy.

I loved the whole Sam stealing wireless internet from the apartment complex because he didnt want to go to a coffeeshop with Dean's almost coffee overdose lmao and Dean mocking his accomplishments was priceless lmao I love the bantering as much as the hurt!!

The confrontation with Bob was a suprise. I have to say i wasnt expecting it to be him but i loved the whole scene so much. As always the Dean hurt was perfect and I was cringing for the boy especially when he was thrown into the barn wall. Loved the whole  getting down the ladder thing and Dean once again patching himself up in the bathroom after having fixed Sam.

This chapter was awesome and I cant wait for the rest. Hope you have a nice time at SJ's wedding anf hope her day is awesome :)

Tara x0x



Author's Response:

Tara -- thanks so much for reading and leaving us reviews on both sites! You're such a sweetie. I'm so glad you enjoyed this chapter -- we were anxious about it, not only because we wanted to get it up before SJ's wedding, but because of what we were going to reveal...

Glad you liked the car ride and the patching scene -- we really try to keep things cohesive with the way each of us brings the outline to life. And the wireless idea was all SJ. She, um, had some *cough* experience *cough* with that...

I'm glad you were suprised about Bob! We hoped we hadn't telegraphed it, hee! We really hope you like how Sunday plays out, and the "gift" in the epilogue. :)

Hey :)

Finally got through the chapter and let me just say straight up that it was well worth the wait! I love it! The whole scene in the motel room was great with Dean not sleeping ... he needs a slap sometimes i swear. Sam's almost breakdown in the bathroom ... and then the showdown. AWESOME!!! It was such a different way to hurt them that I have seen anyways and I loved that!! Sam's rage was great coz you could really feel it. The whole healing thing was handled terrific and Im glad that even tho he was healed he still had to battle with bloodloss and lack of sleep no doubt :P lmao

Glad to see this updated and Fantastic job :)!!!

Tara x0x



Author's Response:

Tara -- thanks so much for the multiple reviews. :) And I'm so glad you liked the re-opening of old wounds. Seemed like a fitting thing for an angel to be able to do when they have "absolute power."

And yeah, can't heal our boy COMPLETELY now can we? That would be too kind...

Thanks again!

Hey there!! You are SO welcome for the help! Betaring for you is a gift to me too. I love this story, I love your writing and I LOVE how you write the characters Brotherhood and Canon. Seriously awesome work, my friend!! You definately do more than justice to these amazing (and incredibly sexy :P) characters!!

Thanks for giving me the chance to be involved :)

Author's Response:

Tara - what a massive pat on the back to get the thumbs up on writing Caleb (and the Brotherhood) from you. I know you have set yourself really high standards when you enter this AU as you have a deep respect for it and I share that.

Your help was more like fun than a necessary function for my writing - can't thank you enough for being so professional, yet supportive with your Beta-ing (?). I was grinning so much when I read this - seriously, Thanks!

 

BTW - I wrote sexy???? *Blush* That   was NOT in the Catholic schoolgirl handbook!!!! LOL. Much just be the Caleb appreciation!!!! (Enough said - as if I go on I may need to 'M' rate this response!!!LOL)

 

So looking forward to sending you the next chapter... and looking out for yours!!!! (No pressure - but I do sob a little every day I don't see it!!!! *Evil waggling eyebrows!!*)

Oh my dear dear friend. You have no idea how grateful I am to get to see your work before its final cut. I am IN LOVE with it and this chapter was no different. Just so freaking awesome. Ohh the teenage angst ... hell angst in general and the confusion in Dean ... and the oblivious Sammy and the fatherly Mac .... oh I loved this chapter for so many reasons.

I have another reason for being grateful for your writing ... I now have a new awesome friend ... bring on more. I know I'm ready!!!

Aww Shucks Mam' you sure know how to damn near make a grown woman blub!!!

Your efforts to set my scribbling to rights are very near heroic!!!! I love how patient you are and how enthusiastic about all my rantings. I was very nervous about a) letting anyone see the rough stuff but also b) letting anyone have a say (control freak I know!!!) but with you it's like that amicable "deep" discussion at the end of a really great dinner!!! LOL. You only add to things - in the best way! Thank you - you know your off the hook for these reviews right - you have suffered this chapter enough when you beta.... but thanks for the thumbs up!!! :)

And have to agree with you- better than read counts and reviews was getting to know you, it alone makes writing this a worthwhile thing - besides there  ain't enough drool in one woman for Victor - C'mon?!!!!!

Thanks a million for everything Tara.
