I was way behind my reading. But I took the time today and God, I cried. You guys made me cry a lot. The letter, I cry more here than with Erick. Awesome!

Aww the boys are back together and on the mend! I absolutely loved this piece! I love the way you showed the boys' pain while still preserving their unique sense of humor!

wasn't sure if you were complete with this story since it wasn't marked complete, so it took me a while to read it.

I really liked this story. the letters were something else, and the way Dean 'met' with Griffin was really cool. I can see that happening just like you wrote it. I liked how Joshua's character was also.

Thanks for writing these wonderful Brotherhood stories and I hope you guys continue.

I think I've spent ... maybe three days working through all of your stories. I'm hooked. Can this be my new cannon? I just discovered Supernatural, and I already like your Brotherhood better.

This story and the one before it have been so emotionally charged they nearly brought me to tears - not an easy feat, I assure you. I'm in awe of how attached you've made me to the characters, and how loud I cheered when Caleb got to do his Three Musketeers vow. Your stories have made me laugh and smile and melt into a puddle of goo. Okay, I'm a total sucker for brotherly love fluff, but still.

I can't wait for more. I've got so many theories of what's happening and I'm all excited. I hope you can post it soon!

great!

this is brilliant and the meeting was better then canon!

this is just heart wenching!

it took me forever to read this because of the holiday's and my lack of internet access...but i've finally gotten through it and i really enjoyed reading it! i'm so glad that dean is back, and that you didn't keep us readers hanging for too long...

thanks for trying to keep your AU as close to what they are doing in the show as possible...i know it's gotta be really hard to do sometimes, but it really makes your stories seem real, and your characters true. it's fantastic! great job!

So I realized shortly after reviewing Chapter 2 that there was in fact a chapter 3 - and that I had not caught up after all. But now I am caught up and this was a fabulous chapter. I also have no idea where this season is going and I'm interested to see where you take it. In the meantime - any chance you're considering another multi-chap fic from when the boys were kids? Why do I have the sneaking suspicion that your past-writing days are over? I hope not. As much as I adore all the new characters you've introduced - I miss Jim and John - and I miss the boys as kids. It's been a long time since we've had a story when Sam was 12 or 14 - that's my favorite age for him - or when Dean is 13 or 14. If I have any say at all - I put in my request for that. Fingers crossed!

(btw - expect a private message from me later - there are a few interesting things I want to tell you that I don't have time to write now, and would be poorly placed in the reviews for this story.)

it's taking a really long time for me to read this due to the fact that it's the holidays and i have to spend equal time with my family and my husbands family, but i am trying to get on the net as much as possible. i can't wait to find out what happen's in this story...it's driving me nuts that i can't find the time to read like i want to. anyway, it's great so far...i can't wait to read the next chapter!

I can feel the atmosphere starting to thicken now as you had sent Dean to Hell and got him out of it, then there's the speculations and questions that need answering. Ridley, I don't know what you are doing with me these days, there are some parts where you just make me dislike what you are doing, and then there are moments where I just adore your work. You bewilder me sometimes, I swear it on the Bible :p heehee. Looking forward to seeing your version of Castiel and Uriel, and I really hope you stick to their colours as painted on the show with your own added spices. Other than that- great story, great writing; felt the emotions right there and then.

Thank you! That was better than I could have hoped for. I'm really looking forward to the Brotherhood twist you give this new season.

Finally caught up and dang, Ridley. The last chapter of In Victus, and the first chapter of this one felt a little like slitting my wrists. Don't take that the wrong way - it's just that I've grown so incredible attached to these characters and it's all written so well, that it's just incredibly painful - but totally worth it. Once again I'm so glad for this AU and I can't wait to see where this story goes. And I'm glad we get to find out about Josh - one way or another - because I know there was the flash forward in Marked Time but that's just one possibility for the future, and I was freaking out when you didn't immediately mention Josh's well being in this story.

Also, I know you're holding questions til the end, but I hope this means that in your AU Sam did not have sex with a rotting corpse being temporarily animated by a demon. Also, how often can we expect an update on this one? Are we getting anything from you for Christmas?

Great work and glad I'm finally caught up!

Absolutely outstanding. This chapter is perfect in every way! First Loved the Dean and Josh scene, great to see these to connect, yet the banter is still there. I just love that you have created such an interesting characeter with a very distinctive voice in Josh.

I loved the scene with Griffin - Dean just IS THE guardian, direct, commanding and in charge. I loved seeing him offering redemption and glad to silas accept it too. Harland deserves his a$$ kicked though - great to see Josh stand up to him.

And Finally They are Officially The Triad! Wonderful scene - Sam putting on the ring ( oh and Dean watching Sam sleep and feeling even hell was worth it- just beautiful.

Can't wait to see where you go - I personally would not have a problem if you choose to ignore cannon from here on in and told your own story - you and Tidia are so boundlessly creative that I know it will be great.

So glad you are including Cas - and Im guessing your spin on Angels is positive, while demons get to stay evil ( feel free to dispatch Ruby any time lol)

Oh and lastly just want to mention the last line - Perfection. Can't wait for Tidias Xmas fic, and for anything else you have in store

Rhesa
