what is this I don't even

Firstly: the way you write is like poetry. It's beautiful. I love the details and the way you paint the scene. I love the scene itself. It's fucking creepy.

The passages in the italics were the best part. They're so true, and they ring so true of Sam, and just - the phrasing. Like fucking poetry, man. Nngh, it's so good. I didn't figure out what was happening until Dean started trying to find sam and then I was like DCGFJDFJGK OMG and then it ended that way and it was like whoooah. This is an intense, beautiful, creepy piece of work. I love it to death.

I had these nightmares, and sometimes, sometimes they came true.

My dreams were yellow then and smelled of blood. Now they’re red, and some things stay the same.

I have different nightmares now, and demons lie, but angels tell the truth.

Sometimes the nightmares came true, and these days, in my head, anyone could be listening.

THIIISSS. <3333 you <333333

YAY THANK YOU. <3333

also also also

when I was writing that bit, guess whose icon i had in mind. <3

I'm so glad you like it, I thought it seemed kind of rough and weird.

I HAVE NO IDEA, TELL ME ABOUT THIS...ICON

lol <3 you should have more confidence in your writing, it is great stuff. Very well tied together and packs a LOT of punch. It was a little confusing in the middle but I really enjoyed it and feel like putting those italics to a wallpaper next time I have time to make one (on May 2, when I'm doing everything else I've been missing) - if you're okay with that, of course. <3

But yes. A+, would read again. <3

NEGL though, I was wincing at that head-dent. OUCH.

[melanth0]

WELL, IT'S PRETTY AWESOME. NOT MUCH ELSE TO SAY.

aw, thank you! and obviously I would be okay with that.

HEAD-DENTS ARE <3

Yay! Read it last night but I didn't have a chance to comment- I like the bits you added in Sam's head. "What games are they playing" indeed! And I (still) love your Michael!Dean so much. Him wearing Dean's jacket just really gets me for some reason. Awesome piece, really fun to read!

Also, your journal is looking v. nice these days ;)

[melanth0]

thank you! and thank you again for the beta. <3

mmm, Michael!Dean. Still hoping against all odds that we get him on Show.

[melanth0]

You're very welcome!
I'm glad it worked for you; I really wasn't too sure it held together. thanks!

Wow. That was lyrical and poetic and amazingly written and really, really freakin' creepy. I loved the repetition of this: "and these days, in Sam’s head, anyone could be listening." The imaged of Dean, bloody and gore covered and there, but not there. Just amazing!

[melanth0]

thank you very much!
