CIFan812 2008-07-11 ch 1,	abuseExcellent story. I only hope it doesn't end the way it looks like it will... but then, we all need a little dark sometimes.
Lisette 2008-05-28 ch 1,	abuseAck... that was terrifying. Terrifyingly wonderful and horrible all at the same time. I absolutely loved what you did with Sam post-Dean's death. You gave us Uber!Sam without really giving us Uber!Sam. His powers were understated, mentioned as an aside, and they didn't become the focus of the story - just a side aspect of Sam's character. And better yet, you gave us Sammy back. There was no hint of Evil!Sam, just the Sammy that we know and love - a Sammy that was grieving for his brother, and yet determined to kill as many of the demons and bad guys that he could - to save humanity at any cost. And yet it was a Sam that still had his morals - a code of conduct, and that gave me hope. This wasn't Terminator!Sam, this was a hurting, grieving, and powerfully confident Sam that was going to get his revenge. My only regret is that Sam seemed to have accepted Dean's fate instead of working to get him out of hell. Then again, that is exactly what made this story a nice change from all of the other post season-3 fics that I've been reading as of late. Which of course, brings me to the horrible part of this story, and the part that I think we're going to be seeing in season 4. You gave us Evil!Dean, and I LOVED it. How strange that seeing hints of Evil!Sam was abhorrent to me - so contrary to his personality that it actually made me like the show a little less, and yet the idea of an Evil!Dean is an intriguing idea that I wouldn't mind seeing explored. Jensen Ackles would make a horrific bad guy, and it's so contrary to everything that makes up his character - that drive to be the hero, to protect Sam. This is, of course, wholly contingent on the idea that we eventually get OUR Dean back and whole and the hero once more. I also appreciated how much you tried to include the other Hunters, and how much Sam tried to push them away. That you brought Ellen and Jo back into the fold, as well as other Hunters both met and mentioned, was terrific. We all love Bobby, but thank you for highlighting that there are more people out there that care for the boys - even if they don't quite realize it. And yet, as Sam said, despite being surrounded by many, without Dean, he's still alone. Oh - and for the record, I found this to be a truly quote-worthy moment: Too little, too late. Sam intended to have that chiseled on his headstone. Either way, you did a fantastic job with this story. It was a refreshing look of what the future might hold (BTW - I loved the side-trip to Africa. About time the boys got out of the country!!), and I hope that Kripke takes a similar direction. Uber!Sam and Evil!Dean will make for an interesting season.
vmprslyr 2008-05-24 ch 1, anon.	abuseWOW!! What a great story!! I loved the ending.. I guess we are all jonesing for the return of our beloved series, but until then we get to read excellent stories like these.. keep up the good work..Will there be a continuation of this story?
TraSan 2008-05-21 ch 1,	abuseOh. My. God. Worst case scenario. That is so mean to my already fractured supernatural, loves a happy (or at least bittersweet) ending heart. LOL. I guess that's a compliment. Hee. I was all caught up in the deconstruction of Sammy that I didn't even see the final nail coming until the coffin lid sealed closed. Excellent.
bally2cute 2008-05-21 ch 1,	abuseSo...that's the end, huh? That was a very engaging tale, I don't think I know what I should say. Sam is everything I know he could be, and what I don't want him to be. You told quite to expansive story. I liked so much about this story, so I don't want to turn this into a novel. I'll just say this was a beautifully written story, and I look forward to your next tale.
Freefall 2008-05-21 ch 1, anon.	abuseYou have captured the essence of the show perfectly. Please continue!
cursedgirl 2008-05-21 ch 1,	abusemore.. please hurry up! =)
HappyHoneyBee 2008-05-21 ch 1,	abuseWow. That was painful to read, and I mean that as a compliment! I actually gasped at the end. Of course, I'm dying to know what happens next, but at the same time I think this story works best as a one-shot. Otherwise, I think it would lose that punch, the impact. One thing I keep meaning to say when I review your fics, and keep forgetting, is that I really admire the way you "show, don't tell." Though that may be a weird way to describe a piece of writing, I don't know. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say. Anyway, excellent work!
calcium77 2008-05-20 ch 1,	abuseOk, you had me all teary there...I kept thinking "where is my happy ending?" Not at the end that's for sure. Great story though. kat
violetsunshine 2008-05-20 ch 1,	abuseSo incredibly awesome! The last part was genuinely scary...
JazzyIrish 2008-05-20 ch 1,	abuseThis was a fabulous fic - loved the title which of course, pertained to both brothers. You really socked me in the gut with that last section! I couldn't help but notice that you brought "Dean" back on his birthday, just like Sam lost Dean on his. I really liked the way you portrayed Sam in this - his inconsolable grief and shock; his attempt to lose himself in alcoholic oblivion; slowly turning his focus on pure revenge. Two brothers died that night - one just more quickly than the other. I'm not quite sure why you ended this the way you did, but it was powerful. I imagine that you want us to supply what happens next in our minds. Thanks for sharing this well-written and creative story with us. Until next time...
Cheryl W 2008-05-20 ch 1,	abuseOh!! That was fantastically cruel! You lulled me with your wonderful Sam angst, (which I think you got spot on) and then nailed me with the evil Dean. Great story telling! I really liked thE notion that Sam would purposefully take sleeping pills to "spend time" with Dean, that he felt it was part of his penance to even temporarily join his brother in his torment. I also enjoyed the tracking of the year, the events, the Christmas...it just served to drawm me farther into the story. Thanks for writing and sharing this story!
wild wolf free17 2008-05-20 ch 1,	abuseNo! Don't end it there...
lili20 2008-05-20 ch 1,	abuseNo! Are you related to Kripke or something? You cannot leave it at that!
