abuseI started reading this a while ago and I shouldn't have continued when we're right on the verge of the season finale. Poor boys.

You did such a wonderful job of showing us where both boys' heads are in this. Dean trying so hard not to break down, but then doing it, the role reversal with Sam wanting to stay with the job and Dean wanting out.

And this simple line here:

"“Why don’t you want to sleep, Dean?” Sam asked suddenly."

It brought me to a dead halt, just like it did to Dean. Because you knew exactly where to put it. Awesome.

And on a lighter note:

“Fine,” Dean replied. “I’ll have a Coke and a smile.”

Plain old classic, full-octane Coke is the best hangover remedy ever. Just sayin'.

"Dean frowned. “Someone rapes your wife, you go out and hunt that little ** down.” He gripped his coffee cup, pointing at the floor with his index finger. “You hang him up by his balls with barbed wire. You don’t freakin’ leave her.”"

You're such a freakin' hero, Dean baby.

"He pulled out the large pair of tweezers they’d purchased after their visit to Roosevelt Asylum when he’d had to remove the rock salt from Dean’s chest that didn't dissolve into the wounds. Since then, the over-sized tweezers had been used to remove material from the burn on Dean’s shoulder courtesy of the Benders, pick a number of stubborn locks, and remove glass from Sam’s cheek after Gordon’s second explosion blew some shrapnel at him."

What a sad catalog of what they endure. And think it nothing of consequence.

So much more to love. The case was very interesting and the way you wove it through with the boys' angst over the deal was masterful.

I'll end with just one more thing, though. "Be Thou My Vision" - my favorite hymn ever, too. Thanks for this one, ladies

abuseThis totally impressed me! I can't even imagine sitting down and thinking through all of that - each deadly sin, using Dante, killing each victim and connecting them. I thought you depicted the brothers so beautifully, their inner struggles voiced and nonverbal were wonderful. I loved your names for things - the town of Mercy - the Inferno - and the angel was simply Bob, how funny was that. Easily masked amongst humans. I don't know, I think you guys are Columbo. You seriously should figure out a way to try and promote these to the CW. A two hour long Supernatural should happen! This was very entertaining, thank you!

abuseGREAT JOB! This was everything Magnificent Seven should have been and more. I loved the use of Dante and the brother's relationship felt right. You both got them in character completely!

abuseThis is, without a doubt, the best story I have EVER read. I'm so flabbergasted and speechless at this point, having read it all in one go, that I don't have anything to say beyond this that wouldn't be fangirlish yawrping in your general direction. You did an amazing job with the imagery, your characterization of Sam and Dean, and the soundtrack! I love the way you integrated music in here, just like the show would if this was playing out before us. I can't get enough of it! *runs of to re-read*

abuseI knew this story would be great. I bookmarked it ages ago but have only just had time to come back to it, and man am i glad i did.

I have to say that this chapter was truly fantastic. Really well written - perhaps a little too well written, are you sure you both arent professionals?. I thought the flow of the text was exceptional, the imagery, the dialogue... all wonderful. Right from the start you built this really dark, gloomy sense of foreboding - which I'm still trying to figure out how you did it, because you didnt exactly come right out and say, 'hey, guys, this is supposed to be foreboding'... it just... was. I could feel the evil undertone, the almost prophetic sense that everything was about to go to hell in a handbasket, that everything was coming to some kind of proverbial edge. I feel like you led me to the edge of a cliff and took the ground behind me away and all I have to do is wait to fall into the sea below. Amazing.

For me, I also found this incredibly visual. I could see it in my head, playing out with every single line written. It had the same kind of feel that season one had, were everything was really dark in the show and uncertain. I liked it a helluva lot.

I thought the whole backstory was fascinating. Can't wait to find out more about that. I loved the dialogue. It was completely natural, completely in character, and completely wonderful to read.

I want to say so much more about that but I'll end up repeating myself. Amazing job. Just completely fantastic. I wish I had time to read the second part right now but real life calls.

abuseI love this story - and I'm reviewing this chapter because it's my favorite, although I've read the whole thing. From how you've written it, I can perfectly imagine a scene in my head of Dean dancing with the girl like, for as long as they're dancing, there's nothing else that matters but her, even in the middle of a club full of people. Instead of acting like his life is already over, he's living every moment as much as he can. And Sam's understanding of this, as he's watching them from the outside of the little world Dean and Emily are in, is heartbreaking. It's like he can't bear to see Dean so alive; being so full of life now just makes his coming death seem so much more tragic. I know this probably isn't the most important scene in the story, and I loved everything else too, but this part really stuck with me. Great job!

abuseIncredible beyond words, so satisfying. I really needed that. Thanks for this, and the video.

I'm feeling about as emotionally wrung out as the boys right now...
