THat...was...very interesting. For the first two chapters I was like "Tell us what they freakin' did!" It was great though.

Hey, ML, I'm really sorry for my delay in R & R'ing.

It's not often that I'm left kinda speechless at the end of one of your fics but...this was one of those rarities! Ever with the highest of hopes, I first had to absorb the fact that they really were dead and not coming back in some miraculous way. After that, well...!! This was a totally fabulous way to give our boys an 'eternal reward', and something they both seem to be content with.

I love the fact that they don't remember the last tragic scene between them, but boy, I'll never forget! (Getting a big lump in throat just thinking about it - may never forgive you, lol!) Bobby and Castiel working together is so perfect, and their finally getting Lilith is the icing on that cake.

We really need to have a reason for all the crap they went through; having it prepare them for the afterlife, and the job they were to do then...oh man, that is just brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! "To spend eternity bringing order to chaos" - if anyone could do that, it would be Sam and Dean!! Totally love their switching back and forth between roles, but I wish they got to spend more time together!

Favourites:

"I got carpet burns, man. And that ain't funny when it's the spiky Pit carpet, know what I mean?" - Ha,ha, Dean will never change!

"Cos they needed two for this job? Two sides of the same coin...a limited time together as a reward?" Sam dared. - Just FAB!

"It was just for an afternoon," Dean admitted with a small shrug. "Then I stepped our for a coffee, Dean shrugged innocently." - LOL!!

"It was the grin of a boy who had just discovered his tiny brother could walk...It was the grin of part-time angel, part-time demon supervisor who had remembered to bring a new, still-sealed pack of playing cards. With pictures of naked women on them." - How to describe Dean's life in nine sentences or less - Awesome!!

Ending it with the classic exchange between them certainly left a very happy note with me. They're back to being the brothers they were, and what could be better than that?

It's amazing that a dream inspired this story, and I really appreciate your getting up at 4 a.m. to write it all down, lol! What else can I say except that this was at times the most heart-wrenching, saddest, hopeful, skillfully crafted, and satisfying read - just stick to your promise and NEVER KILL THE BOYS AGAIN! You did it all too well!! And maybe this is an AU, maybe it isn't - you've predicted story arcs before!

So...dream, imagine, whatever you have to do to keep writing such superlative fics!

Extremely well done!

Wendy :)

I enjoyed this alot. It made me sad to think that the boys would only get one day together every year, but at least they would be together, they are fighting on the same side and they don't remember how they died so there is no angst between them. They are simply brothers again and are happy..which I guess is all we can really hope for with them...Kripke will most likely not have them have a happy ending...but we can still read good ff about it.
great job

I cried at the end of chapter 1, I was puzzled and upset by the end of chapter two and I was oddly happy with a little tinge of sad by the end of chapter 3.

I love this story :D

I'd really like to here more about Castiel and Bobby's adventure's that would make great reading :D

Oh, man, I knew I couldn't take much more...could you possibly MAKE this story more anguishing?? Ah, jeez, you got me going again - this is so heartbreaking! (I hope you sit there and cry your eyes out when you're writing this stuff, it would only be fair, lol!) Damn it, I'm going to have nightmares about this story!

Their goodbye to Bobby was the last straw; it finished the job. ;) I'm glad to see that Sam was happy, so Dean shouldn't feel quite so guilty - but that's Dean.

That is some mind-blowing concept; that the whole battle of good and evil would rest entirely upon them! I still cannot bear to think of them both being dead, although the two rays of light greeting Bobby in the morning was a great touch. Interesting that Sam's is darker - but I guess not surprising.

Castiel trading his Grace for them - holy cow, I didn't see that coming! I can't imagine what brought Dean to stab him, and for him and Bobby to shoot him.

I'm with Bobby: "Just what the hell does this mean??" How can the boys' dying put things right?? (And Pericles' quote does not comfort me in any way!)

Okay, if even by your standards the epilogue is a doozy then it will be something totally spectacular, that's for sure! No chance of bringing them back, huh? *tears* :( *sigh*

This story is just PHENOMENAL. I am once again in complete awe of your fabulous talent. Hurry part three!

...*big long empty space as Wendy struggles to find the right words to do this story justice*...*can't, so go from the gut*...

*SO-O-O-O-OB!* You killed Sam! You killed MY SAM!! *WA-A-A-A-IL* *Uncontrollable blubbering!* Okay...I'm done.

This is THE most heart-wrenching and saddest fic I've ever read...*tears* *sniffles*...maybe I'm not done...! You've really floored me this time. What you've written is terrifying, because it is a very probable scenario. I'm wondering if I'll honestly be able to stand it when their fates finally play out.

Oh my God, the picture you've created of Sam!! It does seem inevitable doesn't it? I never really imagined him turning on Dean like that, but why wouldn't he? The horrible things he says and his so callously shooting Dean...! Agh!!

And then Dean doing the unthinkable...seeing Sam the way he used to be, wanting to set him free..."Best brother"...the tears are flowing and I'm so flooded with emotions...hard to see what I'm typing!

I can't even think of what Castiel has in mind...brain's too numb. Please, put me outta my misery!!

This story goes way beyond amazing, it's genius. Don't know if I can bear any more, but I've got to see what Dean gets and I don't, so...*big shaky breath*...off to the conclusion. You're killing me here, may as well finish the job...you genius,you...

WOW!

As you will well know I shurely do appreciate Evil!Sam stories and your depiction of him here paints him as cold as a streaker in an ice storm.

I love his sheer reasonableness, his whole dispassionate, shoulder-shrugging ‘well thur you go’-ness. It’s so chilling! Monsters are way more scary when the menace is controlled, rational, well-thought-out…

Your Sam is just how I think Show!Sam will go… the change will be so insidious, so gradual that he may not even be aware that he’s no longer ‘right’. And tho it breaks my heart I can see a scenario like you have presented here playing out in the season finale: Dean accepting that his final sacrifice and act of love will be killing his brother to save him, as you so ably put:

“And believe it or not, this is me, being here for you. I can’t stop you, I can’t turn you away from this. We both knew there was only one way this was ever gonna go, and I can’t let that happen. Not to you.”

Really looking forward to more, dude! I think I need pie now…
