This was great! I think you really captured Sam and Dean at this time in their lives. They felt like real teens, real brothers. Keep up the good work!

Thank you, kat! I worked really hard here on the family dynamics, so I'm pleased that worked for you.

This is great! I love the changes you made, especially Sam's questionable judgement vis a vis the ghost/person in the house. Pure Sam.

Brava!!

Thanks for pointing out that, since it was a casefic, the case needed to be properly resolved. I do like that glimpse of the ruthless practicality Sam eventually develops as a hunter. I appreciate the comment!

What a great pre-series story - Team Winchester working well together, managing to have good times along with the responsibilities of hunting, and yet... there's that hint of things that will build into insupportable differences. I loved it!

*nods* Sam is really trying to fit in here, to be a hunter, to live the life that Dad's set up for them. Ad it almost works. Almost. Thank you for the comment, vikingprincess!

Nice! I loved the brotherly interactions here, very well done. Sam being hit on was cute, too. I kept picturing wee!Sam blushing. Hee.
Yay!

Thanks! I wanted to show Sam and Dean being brothers. And Sam's definitely being stalked and captured like prey. It makes me wonder if Jessica did the same thing. Thanks monicawoe!

This was an elegant read! I know that is a strange word to use, but it was so satisfying constructed and the characterizations were so lovingly done, it just made me sigh with pleasure when I finished it.

I think what impressed me the most was how Sam was not the usual angry, angsty teenager in a lot of teenchester stories, and yet he was still very clearly 'Sam,' and the case was a fully fleshed out case and yet it wasn't a horrible trauma.

It's nice to think that sometimes they got the job done without being beaten up!

Well done!

What a delightful comment! I spent a lot of time on the characterization and relationships here, rather than my usual focus on pure plot. I wanted to show a Sam who is trying his very best to be his father's son, rather than in the all-out rebellion we see later. I'm so glad that it worked for you. Thank you!
