Wow, I thought I'd be last in a long line of comments here. I had forgotten the day and what it meant.

Though this story was a bit shorter than your last two, it was still packed with both action and angst from all sides. I should have realized Zach was behind the whole thing. A test run, eh?

I'm so sad to see the end but what do we have to look forward to next? Do you still have that country club plot burning somewhere? I would just love for someone to have the boys have to carry off something of a long con, going undercover as it were with the upper crust, hanging out at a country or yacht club for a prolonged period.

Whatever you do next, it'll be amazing!

Aw, thanks babe! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

I dunno what I'll do next! We'll have to see....decisions...decisions!

You're the very best. Thanks so much for all of your support. I appreciate it so much.

I really enjoyed reading your story! I liked how Dean always stayed so Dean-like! He was so good with Macy, he saved Sammy even without any memory about him... I also liked Sam's reaction to slightly different Dean, the way he would be with two parents and without hunting... I really liked the moment when boys bonded in that cabin playing chess and just talking!
I hate Zach! And I hate Uriel! And I'm not so happy with John either! Could he not guilt-trip Dean?! The boy was already sorry and ashamed! So John could spare him that lecture... But that is just John!
And those Darnells actually would be a little bit happier with Dean in their lives... But it was Winchesters who were blessed with having Dean...
Thank you very much! The story was very exciting!

Thanks so much, astafir! I think John just doesn't think sometimes. I believe that HE believes he's doing what's best. I don't think he'd do what he does if he knew how much damage he was doing.

Thank you very much for taking the time to let me know you enjoyed the story. That does my heart good!

Amazing story,I loved it! John was an ass to Dean,poor boy so much guilt!

Thank you and well done, can't wait for the next!

Hugs...

Thanks lidia! I'm so glad you liked it! John was certainly blind...I think he means well...but he just eff's up when it comes to those important emotional moments, I think. He doesn't realize how unhelpful his "help" is a lot of the time.

/hugs right back!

I should have known Zachariah was behind this, the giant douchebag. I don't know who I'm angrier at, him or John putting the final touches on setting the wheels in motion that would send Dean to break in hell as the Righteous Man. Grrrrrrrrr.

And Dean going back and trashing his bike. Break my heart.

Gorgeous, well plotted and packed with enough Dean whump to satisfy me. Thanks!

[sharlot1926]

Thanks Tif! I appreciate that. Haha...yeah, Zachariah is a douchebag. Though, there was a little hint that it was him all along..."Mr. Adler" was the name of Dean Smith's boss (Zachariah) in "It's a Terrible Life". ;) Gotcha! LOL. But don't feel bad, I had to look up the name when I decided to use it. I couldn't remember what it was, either.

Yeah...John, John, John...he really, truly loves his sons, but he does damage them at times, and this is a heartbreaking moment when the extent of that damage is made manifest.

Thank you for the support, babe. You're my hero. :)

When Dean saw Zachariah in the hospital and called him Mr. Adler, I made the connection but not before. Nicely played. :)

Mwahahaha... ;)
