Reviews For: Hard Bargain

TCB 0.5 2008-03-06 ch 1,	abuseAwesome story portraying Dean's struggles with his deal's repercussions as the time goes by. Your characterizations were really good and thoughtout. "Surfin for **" was such a typical Dean-answer to shut his brother up without telling the truth; as was Dean's obsession with finding the truth. Sam's digging after he came back from doing the laundry was also great; and Bobby was just himself on the phone, too. I loved the scene where the eldest Winchester summoned his Dad and the way the two of them interacted. Especially when John lost his calm after Dean told him about that deal for Sammy. What I really did appreciate too, was your not revealing John's answer to his son's question. In this case, leaving it in the dark and yet letting it shine through in Sam's eyes was the right thing to do. My only real complaint would be your lack of mentioning the setting (probably post 'Witch Hunt') as I didn't get to watch the Third Season yet and intended on staying spoiler-free.

Mousitsa 2008-02-04 ch 1,	abuseWow, what a beautiful job you've done with this fic! It was so rich in emotion that I just had to read it twice to fully savor it. I've always secretly wished for a visit from spirit-John to lend his boys a hand, and this was the closest thing to that. Although this story begs to be continued, it works quite well that you have left off in a rather vague fashion. Thank you! Excellent work.

deangirl1 2008-02-03 ch 1,	abuseI loved this - an awesome tag to the epi. Loved how you structured and paced it. Great moment with Bobby. Thank you so much for making Dean as smart as he is... Loved the scene with John. I'm a little disappointed you left it purposely vague at the end, though I absolutely know why you did - it does work - I'm just insatiably curious and want to know what it was like in hell, from the horse's mouth, so to speak! I also want somebody to decisively state that Ruby is or is not lying (well, really that is Kripke's job, right?) Anyway, great story!
laughandlove 2008-02-03 ch 1,	abuseOh wow. This was incredible - I never thought of the possibility of summoning John...he would be the only one to truly know the workings of Hell...what an interesting, interesting idea! And the way you portrayed Dean in this - as scared, confused, and yet eager to hide his emotions from Sam - brilliantly done. I could so easily see him resorting to such behavior after the events in Malleus Maleficarum, because gah...Ruby's revelation at the end that she could do nothing to save Dean really shocked me, and it was really evident that it shocked him as well. You could just see it all over his face...sniff This says "complete" at the top of the page, but can I humbly ask for a continuation? Pretty pretty please? lol I'm really enjoying this fic, and would love to see it expanded upon - Sam's reaction to what Dean had just done, and more importantly why - because he can't be saved from Hell - would be SO interesting to read! :D But if not, I understand...it's your story, and I wouldn't want to mess with the vision. :) Thanks for sharing this, and excellent job! -laughandlove
