abuseGreat story! Very interesting twists and good depth to the hunt - I usually read for the brotherly moments, but this had some substance to it as well :)

abuseGood, original, creative idea. You really did a good job with thr conversation & rapport between the two brothers. The story had a natural flow to the whole story. Good backstory that helped progress the story. Nice, quiet ending. Overall it was a good piece, and I liked the "monster." Maybe it was a little anticlimactic, but maybe I was just expecting too much.

abuseNice twist with it being someone missing instead of a death. Too bad John's not with Mary...but we won't tell the boys yet. They deserve some peace of mind! Well written, good job with the boys.

abuseI was going to wait to the end to comment, but I couldn't. This is great. You've done a wonderful job with the boys. The dialogue and angst is so them. Really liked this line:

“But I don’t want you to be scared. I’m not going to do anything stupid. Well, not any more stupid than normal.”

That's perfectly Dean.I like the vetala as the killer, especially since it involves someone not being buried as he/she wanted by the kids...resonates with our boys loosing their dad.

abuseGreat wrap up. I loved the way you wrote of Dean's affirming for Sam that John DID love him, that his funeral was appropriate and that going away to univerity was the right move for him - all from his understanding of Sam's hidden agenda, his REAL heart, when discussing the hunt. Very need in the SPN scheme of things. An intuitive reaction from Dean and a clever piece of writing from you. I just loved "You wanna talk about it?” “Nope.” “I do.” “I know,”" beautiful simple in writing such a complex relationship.

abuseI love how grounded your fics are. I can always see them happening--the interactions, the emotions. It's what makes them fun to read.

I'm a Sam girl, so I especially loved the beginning of this chapter. Sam needed to hear Dean say that their dad knew he didn't hate him. I still feel like screaming at Dean to assure Sam of that at the end of ELAC (I know he had his own issues too at that time, so I don't really want to scream AT him). It was such a subdued scene, which is how it'd be. And bless Dean for telling Sam that he needed to go because he probably would have self destructed if he stayed.

Good work!

abuseAnother great chapter, poor Dean - apologising all the time to Sam for him being there and not John and it's lovely to hear Sam say he would rather it be Dean alive as he has always been there for him. Love it.

abuseAnd you're back with another amazing story!

I actually saw this at work this morning but I couldn't find the time to sneak away to read it :( Now that I have, I'm so very happy. This is another unique one. And of course I just love the angst. I'm curious about the guy you have coming to help them.

Can't wait for the next chapter. As always, I've found myself hooked to another one of you're stories. You always manage to snag me! :)

abuseI'm enjoying into this story. The way you have the boys exploring their unfinished business - their own and each others feelings about John's death - along side an interesting hunt is just what we want. I really liked the way Dean followed Sam outside (despite his fear in ch 1 where you had Dean hesitate, afraid to open the door and see Sam NOT there)to find Sam waiting for him and not running off as Dean is half expecting. And Dean's concern that Sam is projecting this hunt onto his own guilt is very clever.
Ditto to Faye, love the long, comprehensive chapters too. And Faye, the master story teller, would know...

abuseYou write such nice, long, meaty chapters. And there's always a cohesive quality to your stories--you have a real grasp of what you're doing and where you're going and I truly appreciate that in your writing.

I'm looking forward to seeing where this heads :)
