Ohh, that was good.
Writing? Excellent. Characterization? On point. Pacing? Perfection.
I really loved this. That last little paragraph absolutely FLOORED me. :D
Thank you for writing!

Now I feel warm and fuzzy inside and particularly thankful for the good people and blessings in my life. :)

One ray of sunshine is your stories! Thanks, Hanna!

(Instant thought: "If only.")

That would be lovely... if they life an Apple pie lifestyle. Just two of them, in good house, nice job, and maybe with adopted kids, and pets. (because for some reason I just cant and don't want to imagine them with other people. of any gender, and human or not)

Yeah, I can see how if Sam want and really need the normal live, for good safety, Dean would stop hunt.
But if normal live mean separation, Yeah, right, No way in Hell I would be happy for them!

or maybe live like Bobby in permanent house, home.

I really like how Dean offered to still stop hunting, if Sam wanted to. Especially liked Sam's answer.

Great story!

How you manage to conceal so many different layers of their characters in one story is beyond me. I read this before, and got the cute Dean-Sam-brother feels. Reading it again, I see the funny bits of real pleasure Dean got, not from his brother being blind exactly, but from his brother needing him. How Sam felt like a burden, but Dean got real joy from the experience. I know I'm constantly saying this (if not to you, then to myself... and everyone I ever talk about fanfiction with...) but your writing continually amazes me, and this story is just one fine example of how brilliantly you write your characters!

I liked this story, but kind felt dropped into the middle of it. I was sad not to get to read about the hunt that blinded him in the first place and the initial adjusting. That said, I still enjoyed this one.

Ah, this is adorable. I mean, not necessarily adorable, but the way that Sam and Dean interacted was so understanding and caring on every single level throughout this entire story (and most of the time at least one of them is arguing or hiding something or misunderstanding something so that you can't just have a nice brotherly story like this, so...)

Great chapter. I am sorry that I have not reviewed all the stories I have read so far. But I do put them on my Favorites list. The reason I have not review someone of your stories is because Once I finish one I just want to put it on my firnds list and go to the next story. So as soon as I read the last one on your profile I will review in the last story I read and there are still a lot left to read. Your stories have out number my Harry Potter favorites list and really I do have over 100 of those but now I believe when I get done with your list I will have over 250. Any why please keep up the great work.

I loved this story from start to finish but what really made it for me was the last paragraph - I simply adored Sam taking Dean's needs and desires into consideration when thinking of his plans for the future - Dean is so self-sacrificial in many ways and underestimates his worth time and again so it just warms my heart to see Sam showing Dean how much he means to him and seeing Dean's surprised pleasure in return;)

By the way, was this a sequel to some previous fic of yours? I'm guessing he encountered a spitting cobra or was it something of the supernatural variety?

Such a great idea, giving Sam this weakness. Never occurred to me that they would be laid up with something like blindness, something not involving blood or twisted muscles or broken bones. Sam’s vulnerability was very apparent and had an extra edge because aside from his eyes he was fine, could physically do all that was required for the salt and burn. I loved his raw questioning of what-ifs and Dean snapping out with “Then we’ll stop!” I wish we could have seen a bit of what had happened to Sam to cause the blindness—your hinting at it was so tantalizing; I imagine there’d be a great amount of panicked!Dean when Sam got a face full of venom and couldn’t see, especially because the way you write Dean relies on him reading Sam’s eyes so often. To have Sam aware and talking to him, probably with panicked eyes, but not be able to see him, would have done serious damage to Dean’s big-brother constitution.

**Huge. For the first time in ever, Sam was being given the choice. He could have his family and his dreams. He gave that a moment to sink in, to wallow in it.

Then swallowed and gently set it aside.**

And the happy weeping commences. So beautiful.

I absolutely loved this. Sam's realizations during his blind time, the way Dean acts around him (which is absolute perfect Dean) and the way it all wraps up is just so...perfect. I don't know what else to say.

Perfect!

Good job!

It was different. Where can I find the story this first appeared in, The Brotherhood 3, from Pyramids Press, because it sounds interesting?

This was a fantastic story, congrats... :) I love how you wrote Sam blind. I was blind for 40 hours for the 40 Hour Famine this year, and it was so hard and disorientating, but you've written it really well for Sam. And i love the way you write the brothers connection, you really good at it. :)

Luv Jaz

This is definitely a fave. I just read it for the second time, and I ADORED it. Again.

Love how you write their bond, how well they communicate even without sight. Loved that Dean gave Sam the option about whether they should continue hunting, even once he got his sight back, and that Sam only talks about stopping if they do so together.

Loved the little observations Sam makes about his brother, like this one: "...Dean’s voice grew the slightest bit more gravelly when he talked about something he felt strongly about, which in that week included the Impala’s performance, their dad’s journal, the near-religious experience he’d had with the waitress, and Sam’s lack of sight. Sam didn’t take the categorization personally." LOL You do such a great job mixing the heartwarming with a little humor to keep it from getting too heavy.

Loved how Dean did the little comforting things that Sam could accept without being embarassed. It's so sweet that he knows the things to do, and even better that Sam recognizes what he's doing. It's that whole unspoken communication thing again. They know each other so well. I love that. And you write it so well.
