Gah, Sam is such a sad little baby. But I feel like he is kind of happy here, just knowing Dean is okay and living a normal life. I'm sure they're going to be okay, and Sam will get better.

OMG that had me tied up in knots. You do a pretty freaking fantastic broken, whumped up Sam Winchester, and I really kinda love you for that. :-) xo

ahaha Sam is reading East of Eden-

-I fucking GOT that reference.

You bloody English major you :P Still, East of Eden is a little too ironic. With the brothers and all. /cringes

Great story, as always. They should totally end the show like this. (Except there's going to be a spinoff, of fucking course.)

I love this story. I really think they both deserve to be happy :) thanks for sharing

I love love love this! All your stories actually, but this was beautiful. Your Sam and Dean are spot on. They speak and act totally in character, so it's a joy to read your stories. You're very good at making original characters real and believable, and setting up scenes beautifully with a minimum of words. You're a talented writer.

I love the brothers together, have a soft spot for Sam, enjoy (?) hurt/comfort, and I also love the angst. Therefore, you're the perfect writer. :)

I haven't reviewed before (and probably won't again - sorry), so I thank you very much for writing and sharing. You're the one FanFiction link I have on my favorites list. As always, looking forward to more Supernatural fic from you. Thanks again.

Wonderful, and heartwarming. Thank you.

This was two fold. So sad on one hand. Sam really doesn't have anyone but Dean and I'm so happy you brought that up. You made Dean realize what Sam needed and the trip to the Canyon? OMG. That was perfect. That was the perfect way for them to re-connect as brothers. Just going for a real road trip in the Impala was all Sam, and Dean for that matter, needed to remember what it meant to be alive and be brothers. Perfect, happy ending. Loved it!

Aww! I love it, you totally spelled out exactly how I want the series to end. This season has been so damn depressing, I really needed some brotherly love and normality.

Completely in love with your characterizations, and how you incorporate the fact that honestly Dean is the more likable one even though he doesn't really dwell on that fact. Your writing style is also great; I became invested in the fic pretty early on after the line:

Saving Matilda and her movie star smile ("Gene Kelly! They just don't make them like that anymore,") was something he could maybe, kind of, be a little proud of.

Gorgeous! Thanks for posting :)

This is exactly how it would be if they gave up hunting. Just the two of them, no slash involved. It's great.

Okay, that made me cry. I can so see this happening.

I love your writing.

Ok, this was gorgeous. Really, really great fic. It's so rare to find GOOD GEN writers on . It's like everyone is obsessed with wincest. The thought that Sam hasn't really bonded with anyone in ages has been bugging me, too- I'm glad you commented on that and acknolwedged how much he's changed. It's so ironic that it's Dean who ended up being better at the apple pie life. Is this gonna be a verse? Please let it be a verse. And, speaking of verses, when are we gonna get some more of your Beneath the Trees verse? *hint hint*

I loved this. Very believable and I loved how Dean just couldn't really be happy unless Sam was and how he was determined not to let Sam be left behind. awesome.

oh my God, I love your Supernatural stories, I really do. Every time I see an update in my e-mail I'm like "YESSS". You're probably the reason why I'm re-obsessed (not a word I know ololol) with Supernatural. I mean, SN is my favorite show ever, but I haven't actually been this /obsessed/ with it since like...Idk for a while. And it's stories like this that make me just want moooore.

I was actually talking to a friend of mine, after re-watching the episode where Sam is drugged with love potion by Becky, about the ideal life for both Sam and Dean after they stop hunting. And I was thinking that Dean would probably be most happy if they both had their own families and lived like right next to each other in houses or something. But I hadn't thought about Sam really. You brought up a valid point that unlike in the first two...three seasons, Sam hasn't really connected with /anyone/. So I loved this take on what would happen after they stopped hunting. ...I was surprised that there was no mention of Lucifer xDDD I love your writing style, especially your characterization because I can never seem to get their characters right, you have it spot on. ...I can't say how much I adore your fics xD

Very well done, I really enjoyed how Dean just wanted them to have a life and finally manages to find a way to give them one. Excellent job, I am stunned by the depth of emotion I felt for Sam, who doesn't think he deserves any happiness. What an amazing job and the ending...Thanks for that.
