You nailed the banter in this. It was just so THEM.

LOVED these lines: “Told you you were getting sick.” Dean manages to sound smug and sympathetic at the same time-a gift; one he’s employed more than once at Sam’s expense.

“Thought I was the psychic one.” Through the scrape of irritated vocal cords, Sam manages to sound both annoyed and appreciative. They each have their talents. *g*

It's that kind of brotherly snark that made me fall in love with these brothers in the first place, especially without the edge that developed in later seasons.

Course, it wouldn't be the Winchesters without the bittersweet undercurrent, and you captured that beautifully, too.

Lovely story. Thank you.

What an awesome comment! Thank you so much! And I'm totally with you--that brotherly snark (all that love and caring barely disguised) was why I fell in love, too. Here's hoping for more of that style for S6!

This is a great look into the downtime after a hunt. You perfectly nailed the tone of those first seasons. And the weariness that is all over Sam comes across so vividly.

Thanks so much for pulling back the curtain and giving us a little peek into Winchester life when the game faces are off.

I'm so glad this worked for you...and what a perfect way to sum it up: "with their game faces off." Thank you! *friends back*

It’s a hell of a thing to be kept up nights by the cold, growing certainty that your brother won’t kill you.

I know someone already said it, but I second it: Great line. Sums up everything.

Thank you! A pretty sad comment on their lives that they had no idea how much worse things were going to get...

Very nice, hon. Sam's voice sounds true and the guys definitely seem in character. Good work!

[geminigrl11]

Thank you! I'm so glad they seemed in character--always the biggest challenge! How goes your writing (and life in general)?

[ancastar]

I'm hanging in there. We've been crazy busy at work and I've been working on art for the Pros BB. So I haven't really done any writing. Hopefully, that will change shortly. :-)

Take care, cutie.

I needed that shot of Gem fic. You always know how to get the point across. And a touch of sick!Sam is never amiss in my book. Thank you.

[geminigrl11]

You are so wonderful for once again helming things and keeping us not only on our toes but inspired. Thanks so much! And I'm glad you enjoyed this! I have lots of reading to do to catch up--and am looking forward to all of it. :)
