This was awesome - I got really wrapped up in the mystery. And Jess hunting was really awesome, actually. I never thought of that happening before but it's a great idea. And Sam... oh, Sammy. I really enjoyed this AU. :)

Very well written. Especially the revelation in chapter 16 or so when we find out he's been living in two timelines. By the way, does all the dialog correspond to the show. I mean the stuff he says that doesn't' t make any sense. I somehow did n't see it coming but some of the lines did sound familiar. By the way, how did you get the idea for this story? I'd love to hear about your process. Please PM me with your thoughts and thanks for posting this story.

This story is freaking fantastic. I love every minute of it-the viewpoints, the dialogue, the plot, the premise. It's remarkable. Very much enjoying it!

It was worth it. It was totally worth it. All the confusion, angst and anger was worth it. Wow. Even though I know that the author probably won't get this, probably has a different email by now, for everyone that is thinking of reading this, do it! That was the most emotions I have ever felt while reading a fanfic. It was also the most confused I've ever felt, but it was a great kind of horribly confused. I never knew what exactly was causing the crazy, all my theories were totally blown away. And for those of you who might find the writing style distracting in the beginning, stick with the story. The writing style makes such a difference by the middle of the story, the effect is amazing, and it makes it one hundred times better! Be prepared and happy reading!

God. No words. This is actually the best fanfic i have read on this site. Which is crazy cos the majority are really good but yours is amazing! Boy. I still don't really understand Not-Dean but thats ok :D

"Lost my phone," Dean says, tone wavering between pissed off serial killer and despondent eight year old.

"Sam was a nutcase, and Jessica was Sam, and all that had changed was that there was a little more crazy floating around."

"She's focused on getting the baby out the door, because there's a life in her arms and twenty-three years ago this was Sam.

Ugh I love this little family.

"And there, that's it, Dean's with her now, and the relief hits her so hard she almost has to sit down, and she thinks even with all the time she's had to sit and think about it, she hadn't realised how lonely she'd become."
Oh, man. The whole silent treatment thing was rougher on Jess than they expected :(.

"No, baby, I've been right here all along." And she reaches out and pushes his hand down till it's resting on Dean's shoulder. "That's your brother," she says, and thinks about how they're connected now, both of them touching Sam.
I love this . They're all in this together now.

"You were too young...He shouldn't have left you alone like that." Ooh the striga incident.

Also, I LoOoOOOoOve the scenes between Sam and Jess, be they miniscule and filled with crazy talk, or little bits of Sam that shine through.

Man, I thought it was AU-canon Dean from the real series who was in the motel room with this AU fic Dean at first, until I thought, wow, this Dean is having waaay too much fun.

"She realises that Winchester means more to her these days than just Sam."

I love how Sam still manages to stick up for Jess. I can't believe they haven't caught on to the mind-reading thing yet, though. Maybe I'm too paranoid.

"It was what Dean did, what they did, Winchesters, always there to save people. "
Classic line, I love it.

"Dad? Because Dad's not here, Dean."
Holy motherfucking shit, I must be SO SLOW because I'm finally just starting to get that Sam's talking to AU-canon-realWHATEVER Dean in his head!

"It's April. I lost her in November, and it's April, don't you get it?"
OoOoOoOOOooOOOOoOOOoOOHHHHHH

"They both turn to see Sam clutching his head, his knees buckling, and Dean moving forward instantly (because Dean never stops looking, never takes his attention off Sam for a moment)..."

"Take your brother and go," he says, and when Dean still doesn't move, he says, "Now, Dean. Go."Dean starts at the words and grabs hold of Sam's arm, hustling him out of the room like it's on fire."
LIKE. IT'S. ON. FIRE. UGH.

"She sees the way they must have been, all those years growing up, Sam always knowing what he wants (he always knows what he wants) and unafraid to ask, and Dean torn between his father's orders and wanting to give his brother everything."
I looove how she sees this and I like how she's still counting the days that Sam's been gone because I would be too.

"She searched for him for half a year and he won't wait for her."
You're killllling me.

"What...?" says Dean, but he doesn't finish the question, and she thinks that he's summed up the last six months in a single word.

This Sam makes me want to claw my face off, Jesus XD.

"Sam looks around and then lowers his voice even further, and she wonders suddenly if he can even see them at all, she and John, two shadows hovering at the edge of this scene, two people watching a relationship that they were afraid to touch."

Ahhh, so wonderful. I don't know how you managed to keep me and the characters so still on-edge with Sam back, but it's working. Damn, I'm impressed.
