Great thoughts about the pain and sorrow that Sam was going through during this time and the sorrow and grief he would be going through when Dean goes to hell. Thank you for sharing.

Nice!

Yup, traumatized. Honestly, this episode should've had so much more fallout for Sam psychologically. (3"
Thank you for writing!

JEBUS CHRYSLER!

Holy crap, this is probably one of the best things of yours I've read so far, and that's saying something. The I change/I in Sam - my gods, you GOT it. You made an incredible episode even better.

Wow.

Ow, my heart.
I just saw this episode, and it was funny...before it became horrifying. And tragic.
You portrayed that really well, too. This story is a blend of funny and tragic.
Good job.

It's officially happened. Your stuff is morphing into canon in my head. I was watching Mystery Spot the other day with my friend, and was thinking "Wait, doesn't Dean get pushed through a window? And Sam breaks down and just cries and sleeps at one point, and, oh, wait..." So, yeah. Well done, you. :)

I'm... *thoughtfully* ...honestly surprising well with Mystery Spot episode...
Considering I'm one of Dean's Girl...

My favourite is the crying Sam and the last of this fic.

Absolutely Great !

I really do love your Mystery Spot fillers. Glad you filled in HOW Dean had died, when he was just going to stay in bed and let Sam sleep. Interesting how it looked from Dean's POV, not remembering from day to day, but always with the "Sam was acting weird."

This was so amazing and all the lines were so meaningful and well written. I loved it in Deans POV and even though it was the same scenario it was interesting all through out. The different Sam descriptions were mind blowing :)

Wow this was excellent. I love how you highlight multiple locations in the loop: odd Sam, crazy Sam, crying Sam, and bodyguard Sam. Also you were able to use canon deaths to illustrate the positions like the axe versus the archery scene. What makes this story work so well is how it ends with Dean's final thoughts at his death and then moves to the consistent phrase " Sam was acting weird." It also explored some parallels between Sam and John's ways of dealing with grief and was consistent to Six Months Later Sam. One question though: When you refer to Sam's chocolate eyes, are you talking about about color or softness? I watched Mystery Spot and I thought he has green-blue eyes. They're darker than Dean's green for sure but I don't think they're brown. Please PM me with your thoughts. This story felt very real and fit right into the Canon episode. Where did you get your inspiration? Also have you ever heard of Steinz;Gate?

Your newest reviewer,

"And even though everything was fading, he could still see the toughness, the lack of emotion fall away as if it had never been there. There you are. There was hope yet, because this was his Sam, tears spilling over, hands shaking as they held Dean, and face so full of love that even if he'd ever doubted how Sam felt, he didn't anymore." - I'd love to believe you spent hours on this sentence, but I just know you didn't because everything you write flows with such beautiful clarity and synchrony. The "There you are" made my chest hurt and left my mouth gaping open - it was that good. I'm always sort of overwhelmed with emotions when I read pieces of yours like this and they sort of leave me at a loss for words - but just know that I'm enjoying your immense body of work to no end and your masterful grasp and portrayal of the brother's layered relationship is such a treat to read. Thank you.

So heartfelt :)
This was a good fic :D

Oh my...really blown away... And feel really stupid. Just hanging around, reading another one of your great fics, waiting casually for season 9, yes 9, enjoying the Mystery Spot story, after seeing that epi at least 6 times, when suddenly you identify the Sam from after the Wed. death for me. It's JOHN after the fire! It is so clear now that you have said it...I feel so stupid, all this time and I did not get who robo Sam was like! I am not worthy...sigh

I liked how Dean had to re-absorb what Sam was trying to tell him in each and every scenario. They kind of glossed over that part of the episode in the actual show because you can't go through the explanation 100 plus times. But it was really interesting seeing how both Sam and Dean took it as time went on.

And the irony of this line was absolutely stunning: Sometime between the night before and that morning, someone had died and made Sam his big brother's bodyguard, and the thought was so disturbing, so not the natural order of things, that it left Dean seriously disconcerted.

That was brilliant! And you wrote the characters so true to themselves, and I absolutely loved that. Well written and enjoyable to read! Great job.
