“Poor” Henriksen – going crazy… ‘It was time to pay Gordon Walker another visit.’ – Well, I see what you meant by Victor making some “stupid” decisions…

‘He twisted in his seat to look at his brother head on, eyes alight with an excitement that only worsened Dean’s knotted gut. “Don’t you get it? I don’t need it. I never did. I just had to accept what I was.” “Powerful,” Dean echoed’ – Oooo! Plot twist! This Sammy doesn’t need the demon blood to harness his powers. Interesting. 3 I liked the “wall” mention and the connotations behind that from another timeline for Dean. *puppy dog eyes*

I’m proud of Sam for having this (one-sided) conversation with Dean. I think they NEEDED to have this conversation about Sam’s “powers.” :)

‘But if there was one thing they could both agree on, it was that Sam Winchester was many things, but evil wasn’t one of them.’ – Amen.

‘But she wanted, very badly, in that moment to be with the Winchesters.’ – That’s one universal constant for Castiel. 3

Jack the dog/cat being Fenrir and Gabriel’s “son” was a twist I most certainly did not see coming. I love Cas at least convincing her brother to get to release ONE of her arms to scratch at Jack the cat. :)

‘Gabe turned away from the scene, trying and failing not to be similarly pleased.’ – Yeah, Gabe… you’re fooling no one.

Ooo! Who could be in the Blue Bronco?

‘Gabriel immediately poured his all into ignoring the spark of… something in his chest that had flared at Castiel calling him ‘brother’ and instead focused on the task of healing his stubborn, befuddling sister.’ – Awwww! 3

Ellen! Oh thank goodness it’s a friend! By the way, it made PERFECT sense to me to have it just be Sam be the one to talk for that one-sided conversation. Dean was rightfully in his head, thinking on all that Sam had to say – to me, it was perfectly in-character.

We’re nearing the end of S2?! Awesome. And Ellen’s back! Yay! And Cas and Gabe seem to be on better terms with each other. That’s another notch in the whole ‘good things’ column. ;) Another great chapter, Silence! I know you’ll keep up the brilliant work. Until next time! :)

Dana Shulps - I can't anagram it for some reason - help?

First off, let me say that we readers will wait patiently for whenever you’re able to post new chapters. 3 3 Also, might I say that like this fic, your author’s notes are legendary. :) And now… on to what I know is an epic chapter!

Jody and Henriksen interacting… an interaction I never knew I needed to “see” before. I love how this set-up is akin to Henriksen in “Jus In Bello” – I can’t wait to see how this plays out. I loved Dean’s smirk/pride at Jody standing her ground against Henriksen. 3

Awww, Gabe healing Cas. *puppy dog eyes* Oh, Gabe… Dean didn’t MAKE Cas feel any way, that’s just Dean.

Like Dean, I’m actually a little proud of Sam for back talking to Victor… and like Dean, I’m a little worried about the amount of déjà vu going on…

YES! Dean shooting Victor’s words back at him from “Jus In Bello” – I was hoping for that actually. 3

‘The FBI agent just raised an eyebrow at them. Internally, he was unnerved. Outwardly, he chuckled, tucking his hands into his pants’ pockets. “Are you really trying to, what? Recruit me? Gonna have to try a lot harder than that, Dean.”’ – Yes, please. I’m holding out hope that Victor will be brought into the Supernatural fold and they’ll have an actual FBI agent on their side. :)

Hmm… I wonder if Reidy is possessed or not…

Awesome! Sam’s telekinesis for the win! His new vision abilities are interesting. Love the development.

‘“Look at us. We’re a friggin’ scene from Winnie the Pooh,” he complained, digging his heels into the cement and leaning back, pulling as hard as he could on his brother’s legs. “Remember that book I used to read to you? Back before you ate too many Wheaties and became a god damn giant.”’ – Quintessential Winchester Brothers Banter. 3 3

‘All in all, they were inside the car, engine turning over and Baby peeling away from the Sheriff’s station, in less than three minutes. Sam refused to be outwardly impressed, knowing he was still in for one hell of a ‘lecture’.’ – Very impressive, boys.

Love that Cas explained to Gabriel about the timelines.

Pizza man reference! YES! LMAO. I literally snorted out loud in a laugh at Gabriel gearing up to teach Cas about porn… Cas should consider themselves lucky that Gabe didn’t opt for “Casa Erotica.” ;)

This was yet another FANTASTIC chapter! Might I say that I’m SO glad you’ve confirmed that Henriksen will find himself on the right side of the supernatural with Sam and Dean. That’s a relief! But I’m still airing on the side of caution for his well-being after he becomes an ally to the boys. ;) LOVED this chapter! I knew I would. Keep up the brilliant work! I know you will. Until next time. 3 3

Ah, the pizza man treatment.

Giggling way to much over this line: ..."looking left and right like he expected to find Ashton Kutcher and a camera crew."

This was great - so nice to see Chuck again (even this early)

(Finally) setting aside some time to catch up on a few updates in my inbox. How could I resist this beauty? *heart eyes*

Poor Bobby! *puppy dog eyes* His poor house.

‘Time wanted to stay the same, and it hadn’t taken her the first time. Not here, not now. So Ellen was fine.’ – God, I HOPE so.

‘“Dean.” Sam finally got his brother’s attention back and, exasperated, threw his arms out. “What is it?” The grin on Dean’s face was nothing short of 100-watt joy. Sam shared another uncertain look with Bobby, who appeared just as clueless. “The key to the Batcave, Sammy.”’ – As soon as I read the box had an Aquarian star on it, I got super hopeful… and Dean confirmed it! Yay! The Bunker Key! 3 3

Jody! I love Dean’s reaction to seeing a younger version of Jody. :)

‘Anger made a lot of things easier for Dean.’ – Powerful line.

Aww, Jody, I know you’re just doing your job, but it breaks my heart to see her arrest Sam and Dean. *puppy dog eyes*

I LOVE this conversation between Jody, Sam, and Dean (even though the boys are behind bars during the duration). It flows soooo naturally.

I hope TIME has some mercy on Jody and makes it so her son Owen survives. *puppy dog eyes*

‘“Wait. Wait, back up,” Sam couldn’t quite keep up with all the revelations. He looked caught between a nerd-gasm and strangling his brother for delivering vital – and what-the-actual-hell level information – like it was the weather report. “Henry Winchester. As in-” “Our grandfather, yeah.” Dean closed his eyes again, the picture of relaxed.’ – Can’t blame Sam for getting a bit overwhelmed. LOVE this conversation. I can’t wait to see the Bunker in the ‘early days.’ 3

‘Henriksen had arrived and the asshole was early.’ – AHHHH! I still have the (probably futile) hope that Dean and/or Sam can show Victor that the supernatural is real this go-around and then they can have an actual FBI agent on their side. *looks hopeful*

Epic cliffhanger! And another epic chapter! That’s awesome news about the planning for Season 3! I’m sure it’s brilliant. Keep up the phenomenal work. I know you will. Until next time! :)

THE BUNKER KEY! AAAAAAAAHHH!

Making time to make my way through my inbox. It’s this fic’s turn! 3

I think Sam really threw Dean for a loop by hitting him with the fact that Sam actually KNEW about “the bind” Persephone had to use to save his life.

Ooo! Interesting! So she took on Sam’s injuries! Very cool. I love this: ‘No hell spawn would successfully kill the boy again. Or anything else, for that matter. Whatever Azazel had planned for the Winchesters, it would no longer succeed.’ – PLEASE let this be a good thing. The boys could use a break. 3

‘As a man sitting with a sliver of angel grace wrapped up in his soul and a head full of knowledge about the lengths two people would go to save each other… no, not really.’ – It’s really par for the course when it comes to the Winchesters. 3

Awww, Bobby! You interrupted a moment! LOL.

Oh, Gabe… listen to Cas! *puppy dog eyes* I see Gabe’s back to watching the festivities (not unlike his Dad, I might add. ;))

‘“I don’t know,” he admitted, wincing at the slight crack in his voice. He swallowed roughly and reminded himself he had to harden back up if he was gonna make it through this. If the answer to Sam’s question ended up being ‘ no.’ “But you apparently can’t die, and I didn’t sell my soul, so… yeah. Maybe.” It was a hell of a hopeful ‘maybe’, but it was the first real goalpost they’d crossed since Dean arrived in this timeline.’ – Ain’t that the truth.

‘“Bobby!” Sam yelled, but the old man didn’t seem to hear him. He was staring, slack-jawed, at what used to be his home. There was nothing left. The house was ground zero for what could only have been a bomb going off. Little of the structure remained, and what did was charred and crumbling. Debris littered the ground around them, some of it marked with crime scene tags. Wood, glass, books burnt beyond recognition, pieces of identifiable furniture. The cars closest to where the house used to be were nothing but burnt out shells. The whole of the salvage yard would have looked more fitting in a war zone than outside Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Dean looked at Sam, at a complete loss for words. Bobby’s house – and likely everyone who had been in it – was just… gone.’ – Oh, wow. So they went for burning down BOBBY’S house instead of the Roadhouse. That’s an interesting twist on Time’s part. I’m not gonna lie, I feel a little bad that I can’t remember just WHO was in Bobby’s place… I just hope that Ellen (and Ash) made it out okay. On the bright side… Bobby’s place won’t be destroyed by Leviathans! ;)

Another incredible chapter! I’m glad that Dean and Sam got to talk (albeit only a little, but at least they talked). I hope Cas will be able to “escape” Gabe soon – maybe Team Free Will might be able to reach the Archangel and make him change his mind sooner rather than later. *looks hopeful* Keep up the incredible work! Each chapter is well worth the wait. 3 Until next time! :)

Masterpiece! I read for more than 10 hours on end and couldn't stop at all. The clever blend of TV events and original events creates a complete and grand story, just like what happens in a parallel world! I have an exam this week, and I still have over a thousand pages to read, but I can't put this novel down until I've read it. I hate you， I love you！！！！

It was a brilliant attempt！！！

Finally found some time to dive into this update! Diving into my inbox today is my own birthday present to myself – and this entire fic IS a gift. *heart eyes*

Ha! So Bobby DID shoot Tom the demon. Okay, good. One less villain to worry about. ;)

‘And then it was gone, the abrupt calm and silence once again shocking in contrast. Dean lifted his head, already wondering, ‘What next ?’ when Sam shot upright with a huge, gasping breath.’ – Finally! I could picture the wind swirling around them and all the light. Quintessential Supernatural. *heart eyes*

Oh my goodness, Andy’s there watching with Tessa at his side! *sobs* I didn’t see that coming. :’( ALLLLL THE FEELS.

‘There was something cold about her, something not quite emotional enough to be human’ – Well, Andy hit the nail on the head when it comes to assessing Tessa.

‘Besides, he knew he hadn’t always been good, but overall… Andy glanced over his shoulder one more time at the brothers, at Bobby and his dog, the people who would mourn him.’ - *puppy dog eyes* Andy had better have gone to Heaven… *mimes that “watching you” gesture* :’)

‘His eyes slid closed as he prayed over his friend’s- no, his brother’s body.’ - This scene is so soft and sad and beautiful. :’) /3

‘He almost added, ‘Christo,’ at the end, just to see, even though he was already pretty sure she wasn’t one. For one, Chest Cas was being oddly quiet, and he was never quiet this close to demons.’ – I LOVE that Dean takes Chest Cas’ opinions/takes on situations. That detail had me smiling.

I loved the sarcasm/sass re: the gun vs shovel “debate” between Dean and Persephone.

‘Would beating someone to death with the Colt kill them? That should count, right? It was the gun that could kill anything. Surely that logic extended beyond just the bullets?’ – LMAO. I never thought about it like that. Leave it to Dean to ponder that question. LOL. 3

‘She tossed both arms out to the side in as clear a ‘get it through your head’ gesture as Dean had ever seen. This woman absolutely knew Crowley. One way or another. She’d taken lessons from him, was his protégé or padawan or something. Dean was sure of it.’ – LOL. I can see that too.

‘“Sorry. I would have warned you, but I thought you already knew,” Sam said cautiously from his side, staring at the windshield of the Impala with an acceptable amount of sympathy. The Colt was still in his hand, though it was down by his side, being completely useless.’ – Poor Baby!

Hmm, I’m curious as to what’s going on with all their phones… a Supernatural EMP? (I literally had momentarily forgotten about the Angel showdown too for a moment until I saw it in your end author’s note, I’m not gonna lie. LOL. Sorry, Cas! 3)

‘“A real funeral,” Dean corrected waspishly. His glare was a challenge. “A hunter’s funeral.”’ – FEELS.

‘They lost people all the time. Or, at least, they did where he came from. You said your goodbyes, you dealt, and you moved on. You had to if you wanted to survive. But this time had softened him. Had made him vulnerable to the kind of loss he’d shut himself away from years ago.’ – I seem incapable of expressing my love for this more than “ALL the feels.” You write SO incredibly well. 3

Burning down the Morton house seems like a viable plan after giving Andy a Hunter’s funeral.

“Goal-Magma Girl” – Dean’s “vocab” lessons/ability to nickname is one of the MANY MANY things I love about that man. This was another phenomenal chapter. 3 I have an idea for how we’ll get to “see” Andy again one more time… in HEAVEN, right? ;) :) I really love your OC of Persephone and I look forward to learning about her kind (and her). Keep up the amazing work! I know you will and I’m so glad I got the chance to catch up on this fic. Until next time! :)

So what your saying is you eventually want dean to be sexually attracted to a male cas? Yeah no that’s a hard pass

I knew you had to kill Andy but damn you made it hurt. I like your take on Chuck and how he chooses to not know, to let free will happen. I am excited to see Persephone, really like the idea that everyone gets pissed off when they realize Sam has a tie and not so easy to play with now

Stupid Dean just not going over a timeline that doesn't exist and grow up with the new one
