Fic: 'on the banks of the Wabash, far away' [part eight]

Jul 01, 2008 07:28

They parked the car at the lookout, at the national park - because it was a start, follow the river, that was all John could think, follow the river, so he would.

And then he recognised the other car parked at the lookout, and it’s the first lucky break he’d caught tonight, because he was in the right place, and hopefully he wouldn’t be too late.

OK, I know you're aware of how much I love this story. But I think I'll tell you again:

This story! It makes me cry, it makes me laugh, it makes me want to grab Sam around his little middle and never let him go.

*loves* Awesome work, my friend. Seriously.

Aww, you can't see me, but I'm blushing. Thank you so much :)

Oh, Sam! Oh, Dean! I just want to hug you both.

That was powerful and compelling and sad.

I think they need hugs, so please, go ahead! Thanks for your comment, glad you enjoyed it.

That was really good. Thanks for writing it. You're a very good writer!

One little thing though, the boys are 4 years and about 3 months apart in age. So when Dean turned 15 in January of 1994, Sam would have still been 10, turning 11 in May.

That is my only nitpick, the rest was great :)

Thank you for pointing out the age mix-up- someone else picked up on that as well. How silly am I? I've never been good with dates... thankfully other people are! I've scurried back and changed it. Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

Great story, I really enjoyed this.

Thank you!

Oh, sweetie -
The fic you were able to put together was just wonderful. And a first for you? I sure couldn't tell it! This was a great fic, and really, the last line killed me.
Sam didn't want to play anymore. Aw. *sniffs* That just summed it up - what you were trying to convey with Sam's coming of age here. You just did a really great job.

Thanks so much for your comment. I was wondering how I would end the story, and the last line just sort of came to me, and it felt like it fit, y'know? So I'm very glad it worked for you. Thanks again for your kind words :)
