That's the thing, I don't see her as being unlikeable. Maybe a personal and professional liability, with the pride and the self-pity and the drinking, but I largely enjoyed her scenes.

(Probably because OMGOMG SAM'S LOVE INTEREST IS A CROTCHETY VETERINARIAN!!!!!1)

I guess that's what fandom is about, taking something you enjoy and sharing what you enjoy about it.

I'm glad you liked this interpretation.

that was great! Loved it. I really like canon Amelia, and your portrayal of her is lovely. And hee- "Its a girl," Sam said, and snickered. And Dean lamazze breathing, LOL :-)

Winchester crisis management: kicking down doors, yelling, and inappropriate jokes.

Glad you liked Amelia (canon and fic). Thanks!

Ah, this was great! I'm pretty fond of Amelia already so it was appealing to see something from her POV :). It's this interesting mix of an outsider POV (because she doesn't know about the creepycrawlies and exactly who Sam and Dean are at first), and not (because she knows Sam). Awesome emergency surgery scene and the tense drama of the time limit!

It's pretty sad how unusual outsiders who know Sam and Dean personally are in most seasons. But there's tons of mileage to be had with those kinds of interactions.

Glad you liked it (and that the time limit wasn't too cheesy).

This was the best. I mean it. I loved it start to finish - Amelia freaking out, and then very calmly getting to work, and Dean following orders, and the Alien creature (although by the description it really reminds me more of the things in Stephen King's Dreamcatcher). I love the give-and-take and all the medical details, which either you know really well or are really good at faking. :D

Plus, it has all the complicated Dean-Sam-Amelia relationship in it. And they're coming back for Thanksgiving!

This is just perfect in all the ways.

Thank-you. I think the funny thing about veterinarians is that most of them are surgeons, and surgeons are strange creatures. This is a perfectly normal panic response for a surgeon. Dean, meanwhile, would probably respect someone else who is willing to fight for Sam's welfare, even if the person they're fighting is him.

I'm very curious how the Dean-Sam-Amelia relationship will shake out in canon, if it ever does.

(As for your remark about the medical details, takes one to know one.)

A great way for Dean and Amelia to meet!

And Amelia was pretty amazing...

Although I have to say, your description of surgery was harder to read than most of the ordinary gross parts of other stories! Yikes!
