enjoyed this - Caleb coming to Deans rescue again - or at least trying to. Like how you showed his frustration but underlying respect for John. Nice Job - what's not to love in a Caleb story?

love it!

btw, silly question,... who won the game? dean or caleb?

Wonderful story. I just love these two together and you do a wonderful job with them.

That question of Dean's right before he got in the Impala went straight to my heart.

Great job. Write more of these two :)

I always enjoy a good Caleb story! Thanks!! He's a hottie!! Great story!

dude that was just awesome! truly!

Cool story Tara!

Wow, Dean opening up to someone! That's not something we see every day, lol. Well, only Caleb and Sam (with a lot more work I may add) can do that trick.

But seriously, I just hate this Cassie character, just the way she has to always turning him down hard! Even when he helped her family she told him that they couldn't work it out, can she be more cruel?

Anyway, I'm happy he finally turn her down! That will teach her!

I for one am always glad when you dip your pen into the Brotherhood well. This particular story illustrated to me the irony that is Dean's love of hunting, that desire we saw in the first season especially. The job took so much from him, continues to do so, yet he has this undescribable draw he can't escape or even fathom. It's one of the reasons I think he is so unique. You captured his tormoil so heartbreakingly well in this piece. The banter dispersed amongst the angst had the perfect touch. Thanks for taking the time to share your talent.

excellent!

great job with the story! i really enjoyed reading it...i really liked the bonding between caleb and dean. thanks so much for posting!

The smile was nowhere near the typical shit eating grin but it was a start. "Because I'm damn near perfect. Right?"

Caleb snorted. "Yeah, fucking Captain One helluva Human Being. That's pretty much the way I see it."

Loved that part!

Hey Tara, great job! I love the brotherhood Caleb. I like that someone is looking out for Dean. He seems so alone. Can't wait for the next posting. Take care.

Cassie was a psychotic )*$)(*! Who, in their right mind... Well, never mind. I'm glad he didn't answer the phone.

"pain in the ass best friend" Just perfect! I loved that. So typical of their friendship.

As always, an awesome job with Caleb. I really enjoyed it. Well done on all fronts!

i really enjoyed this its so nice to see protective caring caleb when it comes to watching out for dean, and how he's there for him when all the others leave and i loved how you tied in the cassie thing, this was so great to read

Really good! Poor Dean :(

Yay! Always excited to see a fic from you - and I must say I *loved* this one. I think I'm just so in love with the idea that Dean has a Caleb to look after him. I've wished many times that there really was a Caleb on the show like the Brotherhood one!
I also liked the snarking that went on in this fic - cos you know that those two have to avoid chick flick moments at all costs.
Great fic - I really enjoyed it and am glad to hear that Wicked Game is coming along - you've got them into such a dire situation I can't wait to see how on earth they'll get themselves out of it!
