*waves tentatively*

I'm alive. It's been a month since I've posted, although I've been trying to keep up with reading my flist. I can't remember a time when work has been so unrelentingly frantic. But I'm off work now for a week or so, and I managed to finish my long-overdue Sweet Charity fic.

It's written for muffaletta, who paid good money for me in the

Oh, boys.

Dean so tormented and Sam trying again and again to bring him back, but without any success …

*hugs them*

Very nicely done.

Favorite lines:

to see Dean sleeping in front of the TV: Limbs pretzled in the armchair, his head lolling at an impossible angle, his soft arrhythmic snoring a soothing accompaniment to the muffled murmur of the TV. And Sam would close his eyes and go straight back to sleep, knowing that everything was okay.

Aww, what a lovely image.

Sam hadn’t been convinced by his brother’s logic, insisting that the badge had been presented to him by Miss Piggy, and it was therefore vital that he find it.

LOL! Sleepwalking!Sam amuses me greatly.

He’d woken the next morning with Dean’s amulet clutched tight in his fist,

Aww, Dean let him have the amulet so he could get back to sleep. Such a good big brother. *pets Dean*

M’sorry, Dad. I should have known.”

Dad’s voice had been soft and gentle, but unforgiving. “Yeah, you should have.”

Oh, Dean.

Sam looks up. “Bobby.” There’s a world of begging in

Thanks. I love to know what parts you enjoyed - quite often they're the bits I loved most.

The sleepwalking Sammy part is based on my husband. Although he was hunting for a Blue Peter badge, which is actually much more embarrassing than a boy scout merit badge.

I love that this caused an Oh Dean, and an Oh Sam. Equal opportunities angst.

Too cute!

You're very good at that. :)

So will there be a sequel to this? ::bats eyelids::

[eloise_bright]

*resists the eyelid bat*

I'm going to be writing my Asylum fic now, and I think I'm going to need some help with characterization for John. So I'll be pestering you soon - I desperately need a sounding board to bounce my weird ideas against.

*bats eyelids at you*

[yasminke]

How come me batting my eyelids doesn't work, but your does? Harumph.

Seriously though -- pester in good health. You have my email and my attention. I shall now retire for the night, thinking John thoughts in anticipation.

Actually, the end of that Spn episode kinda reminded me of a Buffy episode. Buffy was hit with some whammy thing and she kind of "woke up" in a mental institution. Bottom line was she kept switching between the reality of being vamp slayer and the 'reality' of mental-institution-but-happier-circumstances (very much like the Djinn happening in Spn, but going in and out of that reality completely instead of just seeing tid-bits of the real world).
And at the end of the episode, she chooses to put all of her self into the vamp-slaying reality and we flash to the other "reality" and see that she dies in her room with her mom and doctors all looking on saying "We've lost her." It's like...wait, if that was just a mind-fuck, why is it still continuing? Dun dun duunnnnnn!

That's the one I was thinking of - Normal Again. I adored that episode - also the Star Trek DS9 one which featured a similar plotline. Must be a sci fi show standard. *g*

I do love it when our shows mess with our minds.

*flails* (in that hurty, good way)

[eloise_bright]

Thanks. I was hoping this would cause a few flails *g*

[legoline]

Oh wow. Talk about an unexpected twist here O_O So good to see you posting again! This was wonderful :-)

[eloise_bright]

Thank you! I'm glad the twist shocked you *g* I'm hoping this is the end of my writer's block - I loved my Asylum fic prompts and I've got a fic outline written. Now all I have to do is write the actual story. *g*
