Anything that has to do with Mary can not exist. Mary should be in the underworld rather than Heaven.

Hate Sam

OK, I've been missing your titles. Missed all the senses, and now missed the military themed ones too. You do good in figuring out titles. You do good in the thinking and the smart comebacks from each brother. And the weight of trying to save Dean ... liked Dean's thoughts about forgetting mom, dad, and eventually Sam. That would kill him. And yet he's thinking that Sam will need to change to survive. WOW - can't write enough. Good job.

looking like he'd been attacked by a rabid badger ... and then later, Dean thought Sam was looking like he'd been attacked by a rabid badger! love when they know each other that well!

I like your comment. A Supernatural story with Dean but no Sam is incomplete.
But the idea of Dean getting married to a nice girl ... WHOA...

Loved this story. But then again I love anything Supernatural,

Oh my god, burrowing glass?! Poor Dean! Can't wait to see what happens next :) also, is it sad that I got ridiculously excited to see mention of my home county (Kent) in here? :D

I love your nerdy title ideas. This was one of your best in my opinion. It had so much depth, so much heart. It really set scene for the end of season three when the tension was just ratcheted up every epi. It's sad to look back so many years and know that even when the Deal is over the boys still face hell for years to come. Really good job!

YAY

that was really fun to read. :P

I'm really really glad that you managed to capture the characters' personas so well. I've been reading a lot of fictions from this fandom, and not a lot of them can snag the Winchester boys' personalities quite enough.

great job! :D

thank you :) good story!

That was another superb story! You write mini-novels that I savour. Thank you.

"Dean was never going to meet a girl, never going to get married. He'd never have a chance to see his children, see grandchildren. See Sam's children. Dean wasn't even going to be there next Thanksgiving for their ceremonial roast turkey TV dinner." This made me so sad.

And this made me laugh: "he could totally see Dean asking his bride to let Marigold be the Maid of Honor. Dean loved that sawed off shotgun almost as much as he did the Impala."

"Was she a stripper?" I was a little miffed that Sam would ask this. Glad he realized this: "He'd loved Cassie, a smart, hard-working, responsible member of society. When Lisa was a bad girl, he'd left her behind. When she was a working, single mother with a nice home who would do anything for her child, Dean had been far more hard pressed to move on." I think that says a lot. Very insightful.

And this was a lovely memory: "His Jess curled up on the sofa, thumbing through the pages, blushing when she realized he'd been standing in the doorway watching her. She'd been embarrassed and then she'd smiled. She'd smiled that knowing smile, full of promises, and he'd felt his heart swell with contentment unlike anything he'd ever felt. That smile had promised him love, comfort, joy, peace, family, stability.

Jess' smile had promised him his dreams." Aw...*lump in the throat*

Nice chapter. And things, they are a heatin' up!

"“Just… hate it when old ladies yell at me.”

Sam smiled. “Comes with the territory. Everyone yells at us.”

“Yeah, but I can’t yell back. Yelling at an old lady is like yelling at a nun. You just don’t do it.”

“Dean, you have yelled at a nun.”

“Dude, she was a novice… or whatever you call it. A pre-nun. And she was evil. That doesn’t count.”" ROTFL This cracked me up. Especially the "pre-nun"-hilarious. I could SO hear Dean saying something like that. Great characterization.

And this was really insightful, and a very good point: "Normal. Sam still thought it would be nice to be normal.

Sam was the tall one. Dean was more average height. Sam was the scholar, the smart one. Dean made it through school. Sam was the one who questioned, who fought with Dad, who left. Dean stayed, did his job, kept plodding along. Sam was supposed to lead the Army of Darkness. Dean was just Dean. No special powers, no special destiny other than to look out for the brother who was special. And what had being normal got him? It got him orders to kill the special one if and when the time came.

Normal was overrated." Poor Dean.

Nice bit of foreshadowing to Season 4 here: "Sometimes he thought he was willing to kill anything and everything, everyone, if it would win this war and save his brother."

Oh, nice job bringing out the boys' issues here: "A person just didn’t go around acting like nothing was wrong when his life was on the line. He didn’t throw a party. He didn’t laugh it off." Yep, I can sense some Sam anger at his big brother. Nice how you always find a good foil for what the boys are going through.

“I suppose it’s a comfort that the necklace will make sure he drops dead if he actually tries anything." Um, yeah, I guess that could be a silver lining. A morbid one, but still...LOL

This cracked me up: "“You eat any more dessert, we’re gonna have to put you on Weight Watchers,” Sam muttered.

“Don’t worry.” Dean smiled. “I’m starting to think I’ve got a tapeworm.”" I loved the reference to Dean having a tapeworm-I used the analogy, too, in my Thanksgiving series. I think it's a good one, and funny. It cracked me up here, how Dean held it out as good news. *snickers*

I had to love this, too. "He hadn’t blamed the pie when Sam had been taken to Cold Oak and he wasn’t going to leave it behind now." LOL That's Dean-loyal to the end. ;)

Loved the "meatloaf buzz," too.

"They asked us not to tell you. Said you’d be… unhappy.” Okay, I really, really want to know who it is-is it the Ghostfacers? I know you know-c'mon, tell me! :)

Really intriguing and complicated curse you've got set up here. It's a fascinating start to the case, I'm really interested to see where you take it.

Ah. I love your stories.

"So many happy people. It was kinda freaking him out to be honest. He was used to being around a lot of doom and gloom. He had Sam with him all the time, after all. But the people they dealt with were usually on the exhausted, terrified, horrified end of the emotion scale. He knew what to do with them. Which was usually let Sam deal with them, because… awkward." Loved this-so perfectly in character and voice for Dean.

And this cracked me up: "Dean was thoroughly enjoying a plate of gravy that might or might not have some meatloaf hiding underneath it."

This, too: "Dean didn’t envy the waitress. He’d always kind of thought that a firearm might be handy in a job like that." *snickers*

LOVED the banter: "“I was going for silent and brooding,” Sam replied, “but thanks.”

“Sorry. Hard to tell the difference from the normal gloomy quiet thing you’ve got going on.” Sam glared and Dean grinned. “Right. Forgot to mention the glaring.”

“I save the glaring for special occasions.”

Dean snorted. “Right. Like when you’re…. breathing… or talking. You like it for lecturing, too. Did I mention breathing?”

Sam raised an eyebrow. “That’s what happens when your brother ignores two-thirds of everything you say.”

“Two-thirds? Is that all?” Dean raised his fingers as if he were counting. “Coulda sworn I was up to seven-eighths by now.”" Absolutely PERFECT banter between the boys. This is why it's such a joy to read your work.

I really hope you'll do a new story for us soon!
