Title: shiver and quiver, little tree
Author: running_hot
Rating: PG
Summary: He is hypothermic when he wakes. Cold, bare feet, dumb and shaking hands, lips that might be blue if he could see them. He is half-blind in the daytime as if he's stared too long at the sun. He doesn't know his name, he doesn't know where he's from, he only knows that he has to go ( Read more... )

I emant to leave this at your journal, so please excuse the copy and paste from the ohsam site...I think you did a wonderful job! It was so neat to get the whole experience from Sam's side--his confusion and fear, his pain and desperation...not that I don't already feel for him, but this fic really drove it home. Excellent job! Hope you have more on the way!

Thank you very much -- I was thrilled with both comments, even though they were exactly the same, so don't worry about it. And it's always remarkable when I hear people have empathy for my characters, even in fic, because I dive so deep when I write but I feel like it never comes across the way I wanted it to. Apparently, it did here! Glad you enjoyed!

And yes, I will most likely have more on the way, after this, in between noveling. I'll be sure to post it to the comm!

I loved it! you pulled back little pieces each time, for both Sam and us, and let us more into his world. I think Cas' voice was fine, no worries!

Really descriptive and lovely! Thanks for sharing!

:D

Thank you very much! I spent an inordinate amount of time writing insanely formal lines for Cas and then tearing them down when I was informed that that's not really how he talks at all (I am a bad fan! XD) And thank you for reading, glad you enjoyed!

That was so good. I love how it's seen from Sam's perspective and it's all warped and confusing. My h/c feelers quiver with happiness~!!

This was beautiful. Seeing Sam's POV, the confusion, the fear, the loneliness made me so sad. His fear of Cas, although he had no idea why, just the light hurting him was so heartbreaking. Even more so was his determination that D would find him, it was the only thing that kept him from slipping away. And the way they were finally reunited, how Bobby felt familiar and how he instantly knew Dean was D, it brought tears to my eyes. And the ending, complete trust in his brother, what more is there to say? Really loved this. Hugs, Vonnie

Thank you so much! It's always amazing to hear when my writing affects people in any way, and this is a wonderful compliment. And I can't imagine Sam not being, at his most instinctual level, totally confident in Dean's ability to find and protect him. Glad you enjoyed and thank you for reading!

ooo, very nice! The way you wrote this, I couldn't help but feel Sam's confusion and fear. It's very visceral and real.

Wonderful job!

Thank you! I was doing my best to make it realistic without going too far into boggy description, and apparently it worked. Thanks for reading and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
