Wow, I really really love your story. Its so amazingly well written I started reading it at 12 in the morning and literaly couldn't stop till I'd gotten to chpt 17, your writting is captivating. I really like how you've taken a much used cliche' and turned it into a fantastic story. You havn't taken any easy answers to problems but continuosly make it realist (well as realistic as a guy who got raped by his possesed brother and day job is fighting evil) can be. Dean and Sam are two complex characters and you've really explored them well, the way you describe their emotions, their desperation and tenderness and helplessness makes the reader really able to feel the emotions too and understand them. See I could keep gushing like this for a while but in the end my english would brake down into, so good so good so good, so I may as well just say it, this is such a good story and your such a good writer, thanks for sharing it.

The reason I didn't review after the last chapter was that I read it somewhere other than home and didn't have a chance. So, I'm reviewing now.

My gods, is this story still going strong or what. It's incredible how well you describe the awkward desperation that's just twirling around the guys and forcing them to stay by each other even though it's the hardest thing in the world. I have such immense respect for an author who can potray this kind of mundane angst with such madness. I was on the edge of my seat when Dean decided to leave in ch. 16, and now that he's come back, Sam forges an agreement of his own. Whoa, just whoa. Intense. I promise to be back to read the next part. You're holding all the strings in your hands and I'm damn impressed by the fact that you haven't gotten the mixed up. Kudos.

I was on the edge of my seat the whole way through that. I even stopped breathing at one point! You scared the crap out of me! But things are looking good for the boys again...or at least they're better than they were. My heart almost broke when you described how low Dean sank when he was alone, that is just about the saddest thing I've ever read. Amazing as always!

Wow! Just... wow! I'm so excited that Sammy is making progress. And poor, poor Dean. He just breaks my heart! ='(

As always, this was beautifully written, so keep up the good work and post a new chapter as soon as you can!

I must say that I am very pleased with the way you're handling the therapy-sessions and what it does to both Sam and Dean. It is in perfect synchronization with all the previous events, and thus fully credible. Again very well done on this one!

And what's even more: very slowly but surely our bous are starting to go in the right direction... YEEEEESSSSS!!!! Finally! Took them long enough... *winks*

As always you've been able to keep me deeply curious about how things are going to evolve in the next part, so by all means: continue on your chosen path, because like I already said: I really like the way the sessions (and Sam's reactions on them) with the psychiatrist are written! Keep it up this way.

Thank you very much for the speedy update, and may the next one come equally as quick *nudges you good-naturedly*

Ahh... The long-awaited turning point is at hand... I was so pleased to find an update so soon after I got to read the last one. And well, let's just say this didn't disappoint me - quite the opposite. I'm thrilled at how this therapy thing is going to turn out for Sam, now that he's trying to go along with it. Still...what matters is that Dean wants him to. That in itself is a cause for me to gulp and snivel to myself.

Excellent. Keep up the good work - you are an author who goes by their own plans instead of letting reviewers decide or submitting to clich�s. I respect that immensely and still think of this story as one of my absolute favourites.

You're introducing a little hope (although well hidden at times), which works beautifully. This chapter in particular feels like a step forward that advances the plot without distancing itself too much. I love that this process is gradual, it would be too easy and no where near as enthralling if you simply skipped a big chunk of time and gave it a happy ending.

I don't know whether you painstakingly go over every detail, but it sure seems like it from your writing. Every movement fits perfectly, let alone speech and plot. It's certainly one of the reasons it's so damn addictive!

That is some of the most accurate and realistic work I've ever read. Sam's actions and reactions through out are so beautifully described and so effective that my heart actually aches reading them. And poor frantic Dean, still putting Sam before himself, trying to help but forgetting he's just as lost.

Oh, my. You have no idea how much of my sanity your update just saved. It's been hell today, and I was sure nothing could distract me, but this did. This totally did. There's just this...angst that's really gripping. You write so fully, the little details and the despair & misery - you just make it flow so well. Thank you.

I can't wait for the next chapter. Sam's therapy sessions ought to keep bringing more and more of these little pieces of something that could turn into either salvation or absolute chaos. I think it's safe to say that a story where so little happens yet so many things are going on is quite an achievement for any writer. Now I'm just going to keep reading and wait with great interest to see how long you are going to keep it up, and how it's going to go down in the end.

Ooooohhh!!! I sense some kind of break-through to start shaking things up a bit... My eyes literally widened, and my ears literally pricked up (even though there's nothing to hear if course, but what are you going to do against reflexes, huh?) first when Dean was "recognized" by the psychiatrist, then when Dean finally found enough courage to call his brother.

This should at least set Sam on a different road. It should at least make him realise that his assumptions about Dean's motives, desires, leaving him,... are completely wrong.

Will this bring the boys to at least start to understand each other a bit better? Maybe the psychiatrist will be able to help with this? Maybe the brothers will begin to find some of their old spirit and resolve back, and act a bit more like themselves again?

Once again a bit of hope has entered my heart, but I have long stopped by now to try and come up with what the new developments could lead to, as I have honestly become completely clueless as to what to expect in the next chapters of this story... And I don't really know how to feel about this either... kind of weird, isn't it?

Don't you worry one bit though! I'll stay with your story until the very end. Most defenitely. Your commendable talent at keeping your readers hooked has seen to this.

On to the next chapter, I'd say. Preferably tomorrow already, but since I know that this is impossible, I'll stick to ASAP ;-) .

Thank you very much for your continuous writing and until next time.

I was so excited to find an update, and it didn't let me down. It just left me yearning for more, actually. This chapter 13 was a set-up chapter, clearly, and the most significant thing about it was Sam finally starting to try and speak. I can't wait to see how this goes on. And I'm starting to ask myself how long Dean can keep watch over Sam without being overwhelmed by the urge to go closer - or how long Sam will continue to just numbly accept this state of affairs.

All in all, I look forward to the next part.

Perfect as always! Heartbreakingly sad and beautifully dark.

Well... that didn't make me much wiser... or change anything much in the story at that...

Things are still very much on edge, and while it makes me yearn for more, makes me desperately want to read more because I really care about Sam and Dean in this story... at the same time I'm also slowly starting to lose my patience with them... And the ability to sympathize with their thoughts and feelings... Way over a hundred days and still they haven't figured out anything at all about their situations / problems. Except that they're in an impossibly deep impasse without any clue whatsoever on how they actually got there or how to get out...

Patience is a virtue, yes, but this Dean and Sam are really pushing it...

I don't know how much more of this I can still take, but I'll come back anyway. Your story is way too well written for that ;-) .
