oh, I really liked this one.

You even managed to make Ruby likable, but to be honest, I really didn't have too much of a problem with her in the first place.

Sam, Sam, Sam, He should have known Dean wouldn't think too much of his sacrificial plan, but it did make for an interesting and emotional conversation between the two, and I always enjoy that.

What I really enjoyed was Sam attacking Ruby in an attempt in taking up for Dean. Loved that part.

AS always, you do such a good job with dialogue and I always enjoy the fact that I can hear their distinct voices while reading.

Amazing job. :)

Great job. Catch ya on the flip side.

I liked it. Sam was very in character, and really sounded like Sam. Dean was too, and his big brother over-protectiveness of Sam was perfect. There were a couple of places where I thought Dean's dialogue was a bit off, but for the most part, Dean sounded in character too.
I did notice some wayward Britishisms tho'.
swop (I'm guessing this was actually just a typo - but it should be "swap")
colour -- color
By the way -- I loved this line: “That’s what I thought. What happened to protecting innocent lives, Dean? What happened to doing the right thing? Now it’s all about saving me, whatever the cost?” -- Especially, considering what Sam was willing to do to get his brother back in "Mystery Spot".
humourous -- humorous
"I will have done." -- This grammatical construction is NOT used in the US. Um, try "I would have," maybe. Or even simple past tense, "I would," or "I did."
"give yourself over" -- Give yourself up
By the way -- I love Ruby's word picture -- of making Dean watch Sam die. Which of course, he has, -- But given this is just after "Mystery Spot", Sam's seen Dean die HOW many times? 100s, then lived thru' 6 months without his brother? Whereas Dean barely lasted 24 hours without Sam in "All Hell Breaks Loose"? For Dean to see Sam die -- again, it would be agony for him. And he probably wouldn't really survive it.
Anyway -- great story, I liked it alot.

more.. =) now! please!

Not sure how I got so far behind reading but I sure did. Request or not, very nicely done. Well conceived, setting great, well paced, very much in character. Would have been so much better to have this as the intro to Sam listening to Ruby talk about sacrificing the virgin.

PS - I've started posting recently and wanted you to know that I've mentioned your story Unforgiven in the notes after ch 3, the final chapter, of Zombie Magic. Its a birthday fic and I was going for humor, plus hurt everyone, and I just couldn't help commenting on the influx of Japanese demon thingies in the US.

P

Okay, I'm going to have to go look up that song now, you've made me curious.

Great story! I really liked this. The dialogue was really well done, and it fit very neatly into the episode.

My favorite part: when Sam stood up to Ruby. I would LOVE to see this happen on the show! I get a little ticked at the way she's always putting the boys down (especially Dean). It was so awesome to see Sam take her on for that. I wanted to cheer! :)

that was great! Loved how "no" dean got with sam :D

I liked this a lot. The brothers were in character and you have their voices spot on. I even enjoyed Ruby's appearance... Well done!

I love the Nickleback song that you picked for the title to this story. It's my ringtone for my cellphone.
You already know how I feel about Ruby, but I like how she did make sense in her statement that both brothers needed to survive this battle. Actually, your lines were probably the only true thing she said in this episode. I also love how Sam reacted to Ruby's comment's about Dean, getting angry at her.
You did an awesome job with the brothers and their arguement over Sam's suggestion that he turn himself over to the demons. That is why I love your writing, I can just picture the 2 J's in your scene as I read it.
Thanks for sharing another story with us.
Until next time, take care.

Brilliant story! I loved it! Sam should have known Dean would never go for a plan like that. Protecting Sammy is second nature to him. Again, great job with that!

OMG HUN I LOVED IT!!
you did an awesome job on this hun x
should take requests more often
you can do any story, and erfectly!
LOVED IT!

I liked it! Nicely thought out and so like the boys. Nice one!

"It was the down side of being so close to someone at times. You always knew the exact best way to hurt them the most."

Nice. And very true.

I like Ruby in this ( still not sure about her canonically), so well done on writing her. And this makes Sam's willingness to accept Nancy's sacrifice slightly more Sam-like, if he's already been willing to sacrfice himself. (That decision of Sam's still troubles me.)

Wow, great job. I hadn't realized there's a space there, but turns out there was. Figures that Sam would come up with an idea like that. Not good.

Well handled, well argued between the brothers, and Ruby's two cents were good, too.

Thanks.

great job on this one... oh those boys will throw themselves in from of any danger to save someone else... guess thats why we love them...when you said ruby crossed her arms in front of her i actually laughed cuz I could totally see her standing in her ruby pose...LOL great job on this
