This is weird. I think I'm done with SPN. It's been a lot of fun but I think I'm done, ready to move on. So, I'm browsing through the newsletter today - it's been weeks since I last looked and months since I've been tempted to click a link. I see you've finished The Lee. Did I just see what I think I saw?

Thank you for finishing this. I loved this story and always hoped that it would be finished. I didn't need to re-read the first chapters, I know them by heart. I just dove right in and it was brilliant. This is probably the last SPN story I will ever read and I can't think of a better way to end it. I feel blessed that I got to finish it. Thanks!

I think I'm done, too. I think I have been for a while, since I don't think I can honestly say I've seen a whole episode this season. I never say never, because hell, I finished this, didn't I? But I don't think I'll be penning any more SPN fic. This is kind of sad to me, because SPN was my first fandom, and the way my life is these days, it may well be my last fandom also. There's not a lot of room in my life for TV as it stands.

Thank YOU for reading. Thank you for knowing the first chapters by heart, and for investing in this story. I'm very sorry I took so long to finish it, but I'm kind of honored that you gave The Lee your last salute. *smish* From one fading SPN fangirl to another, it's been grand. Thanks for all the fish.

Fuck!!! I knew the diner from his vision was going to be the scene of Sam's disappearance from AHBL 1.

This was one of the best casefics I have ever read. It was engaging, so detailed I could SEE it, at times frightening, and so hurty good it made my skin hurt.

Absolutely brilliant writing. Perfect pacing. It couldn't have been written better. Seriously.

Bravo!!!

Wow, thank you. I'm stoked you enjoyed it so much. :)

This is amazing. I'm so happy that you finished it! I love your Sam and Dean--they're so believably brotherly and...rough around the edges? Maybe that's not the right way to describe it, but it makes them feel very real. And I love your original characters, too. (Poor Beth. She's so awesome! I choose to believe Sam will save her before her deal comes due.) And the ending! I hadn't figured out that that vision was from AHBL part 1, so when I got to the "extra onions" line I was flailing all over the place. Shit just got CANON!

Anyway, I loved this muchly, so thank you for posting it.

This comment fills me with glee.

Thank you so much.

I was always hoping you'd get around to finishing this fic. I know that if I leave something down for too long, I detach from it and it's hard to pick it back up again; get back into the flow of the story, but you've done a lovely job with this despite the gap. Great ending.

pdragon76 March 28 2012, 04:56:05 UTC

You and me both, babe!

I was detached indeed, and I worry that it shows, but I just had to get this sucker done. I couldn't leave it unfinished. Unfinished business was the Dragons of ten years ago. It was an epic source of failure to me these past two years that I had left this fic hanging.

I can now sleep at night. Hallelujah. *\o/*

Thanks a bunch for reading, my love. Much obliged.

Excellent, excellent, excellent. I'm so thrilled you finished this, and you finished it so WELL. I don't know if I realized before how strong the theme of guilt is in this... I hope that someday Beth will fight for herself again. I like the loose ends you let flap in the breeze, and that ending, yikes.

Thanks so much for putting in the time to finish it.

Thanks a bunch for reading. I'm pretty thrilled to have finished it, too.

I'm pretty sure I was Catholic in another life, which explains a lot of this fic and much of the inside of my head.

FIS and I regularly have a conversation where he says: "WTF, how does your brain even get from there to there? Stop that." And I say: "Catholic. Previous life. Just ignore me and go about your business."

On the other hand, it might just reek of guilt because I took three damn years to get it done.
