I found your story yesterday and couldn't stop reading until I'd gotten to your cliffhanger (and you do them so well) Gosh, poor babies. They've got bruises upon bruises, but hey, anything for each other. I like your Dean speak. Think you've gotten it down pat. Okay, I'll be biting my nails until I see your next post. Poor me, with no fingernails.

Author's Response: Nilah - dont bite them all - better save a couple for tomorrow- hahaha!

 
Summary:

Making a deal with a Demon can be an unseemly business. Especially when you discover that the deal you've made has endangered your sons in ways you hadn't foreseen. Now they've grown up apart and unaware and things need to be set right. General AU oddness.

This is great. Love where it's at. Can't wait to see where it's going. And my boy, still with the wisecracks. Gotta love him!



Author's Response: I toyed with the idea of Darkside!Dean, but to be honest he's so much more fun the way he is...!

You are a very wicked woman. Has anybody ever told you that?

I hope the next chapter comes up soon.

 

 



Author's Response: Yep, that's me with the Yellow Eyes...  I hope the next chapter's up soon too...  Apologies for the wicked case of writers block...

If I haven’t said it before (but I think I did) this story was fantastic. That demon was

awesome, but the brother story was even better. The epilogue was a nice way to round it off. Can’t wait for your next offering.

 

“but in all fairness….felt more like eavesdropping. Dean had been broken, the vulnerability forced rather than given.” You have an excellent way of turning a phrase.

 

“as they talked, they recognized themselves in each other, sameness of self and yet…not.” Yet again, this line spoke to me.

 

You worried about your “scene”, but it was tastefully done, and I could see Dean. It definitely added to the story, IMHO.



Author's Response:

Oh, thank you! That's so nice of you to say. You've really brightened my day with this review and I thank you from the bottom of my heart! I'm really glad you liked it and enjoyed reading it and I hope you enjoy the next one.

Sorry it took me so long to get to this, I've been a little busy and then I totally couldn't get logged in.  

Take care,

Nicole

The opening piece in your first chapter describing Dean prone on the car! What a sight that must have been to behold! Very engaging.That “best pie in the state” scene where Dean is coaching Sam only to fall prey to the same gesture was hilarious. You always manage to introduce just the right touch of humour- Sam and Dean style of course. I look forward to these shots. 

Author's Response: Yeah, though I keep hoping the boys have yet to show up in my town...lol.  So glad you enjoyed and thanks so much for reviewing  - Kel

 I really look forward to updates on this story. I love it. Then, of course, I especially love hurt Dean. There's just something about him. And c'mon, a house. He really had to have pissed off someone. Can't wait for the spookiness to start.

Author's Response:

Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know how you are enjoying the story so far! There really is just something about hurt Dean....*sigh* Lots more of that and a little spookiness thrown in too!

Ooooh!!! You are so not nice...to leave us hanging like that. I really am enjoying this story. Sam is getting a chance to take care of big brother. My poor Dean! Down for now, but I am sure not out.



Author's Response: Thanks so much for reviewing! And for the stars!!! I'm glad that you are enjoying the story so far. I'm afraid that I've developed a taste for the cliffie...

I loved your Creepy-roof-dude, and I have to admit that Freaky-forest-dudette is wonderful. I can just hear Dean reeling off those words.

 "Dean had his tells..." Nice work. Loved the way you handled that turn of phrase.

Cannot wait for the next installment. Don't worry, I am not going anywhere. I love it when I see an update for your story.

 



Author's Response: Thank you soo much for the review - and the stars!!! I was so happy that you liked the little "tells" metaphor! Creepy was getting lonely.... I'm going to try to update as quickly as I can, but I know that I'm swamped at the moment.... I am eager to get on with the story too though - bit frustrating....

Hellooooo! Is anybody out there? Or did creepy forest dude get you? It's been forever and while I have countlessly finished the story in my head, I much prefer reading your ending. Hope real life is not too stressful and that it is just a matter of getting a fire under you. If it is, consider the fire lit!

Author's Response: Wow! I kinda of thought everyone had forgotten about me! Sadly, real life IS too stressful. I have this finished - in my head - and I will finish it - but I'm afraid that I just don't have time to do it justice at this time. I hope that you can be patient a bit longer....

“Dean, sometimes I wonder if all the shots you’ve taken to the head have turned you into Rain Man, minus the savant half.

 

Always with the jokes. I loved this piece. I hope it does not come down to that, but if it were to, this would be a good way to end. Beautifully done! sniff!!

Great artwork.  Thanks to everyone, and congrats to Mizpah for taking 1st.  I'd also like to send my deepest thanks to Vanessa for nominating it! That was the biggest compliment anyone could give!

For all those that don't particularly care for romance, it's my version of romance, meaning it's dark and twisted, not loving and caring.

NO NEED TO BE NERVOUS. THIS STORY HAS REALLY BEEN WILD. I ENJOYED IT IMMENSELY, AND TO THINK I HAD BYPASSED IT. IT DIDN'T SOUND VERY EXCITING, AND I'M A DEAN GIRL MYSELF, AND WASN'T UP TO A SAMCENTRIC STORY. (Sorry for the caps) Boy was I wrong! The title fooled me. As a Dean hurt / angst / comfort fanatic, I can truly say that your story had it all. Definitely NOT a letdown. Can't wait for your next story!

Author's Response:

Thanks you so much, I am glad you didn't bypass it either.  I'm not very good at those story summaries so that's partially my fault.  I am obviously a Dean anything girl, just love the guy (You'd never know it by the way I treat him though)

I am really glad you liked the story, and just to let you know, Dean is always hurt or sick in just about everything I write.

Not My Life by bjxmas Rated: T starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 15]
Summary: 3.02 TKAA tag.  Brothers need to talk about the important events in their lives... like when Dean thinks he might be a dad with an eight-year old son, maybe Sam would like to know about it. 

The pain in his gut deepened as Sam faced more of Dean's sacrifice and self-denial.  Once again Dean wanted for Sam what he refused to acknowledge he deserved for himself.  Sam didn't know what to say to ease Dean's pain so he offered his brother the only truth he knew.

Author's Response:

Thank you, Nilah.  That review was wonderful to read.

I always hope to capture the boys and the depth of their emotions.

Yes, I love SN, but I'm feeling like this season so far really needs some tags to delve deeper into issues the show just doesn't have time to cover.

Thanks again, B.J.
