I enjoyed reading this.

[kajikia]

Thank you! It always makes me happy to hear that!

[cathybites]

oh, dude. DUDE. omg, are you kidding me? I swear just yesterday I was thinking, 'gee, wouldn't it be neat if someone wrote a SPN AU set during WWI or WWII?' and then I wake up to find this and OMG!!!

and, seriously. This is so absolutely gorgeous and breathtaking, so so brilliant. Completely different world for the boys, yet they're still 100% them. oh man, I want to know *more* about them in this world. GAH. and, oh man, the sex was *fabulously* hot and delicious and *perfect*. This whole story was perfect. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

[kajikia]

Oh, man, I am so thrilled that you enjoyed it! (I did have a moment of "this isn't the time period she suggested, it's only 41% porn, MAYBE I ONLY THINK THIS IS A GOOD IDEA BECAUSE I'VE SEEN "THE GHOST OF YOU" VIDEO TOO MANY TIMES.") But yay

OH MY GOD!
*followed your link*
YES. This is *exactly* right. Oh, i just...
*flails*

And Carnivale? YES.
*bounces around*

This would be awesome. You can just *see* how the boys would be, growing up like this. Growing up fast, leaning all kinds of trades and things, just...
So cool.
*has glee*

[kajikia]

\o/ It would be an epic amount of research, but I do enjoy thinking about it.

[kajikia]

Thank you so much! I'm glad to hear the characterizations and the setting worked for you.

cathybites linked to this and omg, this is SO FUCKING AWESOME. I love war stories and war movies beyond belief, and Sam and Dean already have a little bit of that feel to them -- the brotherhood thing, the "us against the world" thing -- and then to bring those two things together is just. I can't even deal, okay. SO MUCH AWESOME.

[kajikia]

Hee, thank you so much! I don't even know where the idea came from (aside from your excellent mathematics of WWII + Sam/Dean = awesome), but I really liked writing this, and I'm so glad it worked for you.

Here from katjad's rec, and wow, is this gorgeous. That they could be part of something so huge and still be so tuned into each other.

[kajikia]

Thank you! And yeah, to me, Sam and Dean are Sam-and-Dean-against-the-world, both in canon and in this universe, and it doesn't matter whether the world is demons or war.
