*stomps foot, shakes finger* Ahm beginnin' to think you do it on purpose.... Want to see if I can find 'em when you post. Hee.

It's very much a change-of-pace for you, but there are so many things to love about this fic, dear. The sense of hope, buoyed by an angel, and the concept of faith. The rural dive bar - loved your descriptions, which felt pitch perfect, to me, and loved the choice of environment. Two young, strange men, walking into that place, could have been shunned, driven out, but it's Dean, and he's right at home, so the place is safe as houses. Personally, I love those kind of places, largely because they are, or can be, so safe and benign.

Of course, I thoroughly enjoyed "John" - hangin' out and hidin' from the wife, buying some beer and shooting some pool. Btw, one of my favorite phrases, evah, is "can't bullshit a bullshitter" so Yay! for that. And I adore your reverence for the Impala, such a great old beast, I could "hear" the rumble when Sam started her up at the end. Your writing always makes me ( ... )

Wow honey! I can't believe LJ didn't notify me that you'd read! That several people had and I hadn't gone back to comment. I feel rather shitty now. :P Anywaaaaaay...

Absolutely, which makes it so much fun! And you'd know better than anyone about what I've done, where I've been.

Thank you, sweetheart. You know what they say about writing about what you know. -grin- And this dive bar in the middle of corn and nowhere? I know it pretty well.

Was that I could totally see my father, just so clearly, welcoming ( ... )

Wow. So much good.

And Dean's, "Thank God." I didn't think about that; I don't remember anyone else bringing it up. But yes, you're right--and that's when the tears started yet again.

This show is going to kill me--and all you damn fine writers aren't helping!

And Dean's, "Thank God." I didn't think about that

This has been driving me NUTS. -laughing- Ever since the moment he said it. I needed to find a way to work it into fic in the hopes that someone would talk about it with me! I mean, I know it's an expression and all that, but SERIOUSLY! The first words out of his MOUTH!!

I know, this show is just hard on the heart. -grin- Thanks so much for reading hon and for taking the time to let me know. So sorry it took me this long to get back to it. LJ did one of those things where it didn't let me know someone commented. -shakes fist at LJ- :D

cybel October 3 2007, 00:19:15 UTC

You're not the first one whose said that about LJ recently.

And yes, you're right. Dean just might be the one to find faith this year. It would be a fascinating revelation to witness, wouldn't it?

rejeneration October 3 2007, 00:22:36 UTC

I think it might be a little... unlike character, but I don't want to say OOC, especially after the reveal in, hmm, what episode was that, the one where the pipe skewers the guy. -grin- Dean certainly finds a little... something there. But I think it might be interesting to see Dean grow _spiritually_.

This...was beautiful... Hopeful, scary and oh-so-satisfying...

Thank you!!

*hugs*

rejeneration January 1 2008, 12:33:53 UTC

Awww, thank you puddin'! -grin- I'm really happy it was 'satisfying'. I loved this story, to be truthful. And from someone who predominantly does _not_ write gen, it was such a fun departure.

Thank you!! And happy new year! -hugs-

a_phoenixdragon January 2 2008, 05:51:16 UTC

Happy New Year love!! May it be an awesome year for you!

“Ridott, Illinois,” Sam blinks, eyes fighting to adjust from the pure, luminous sunlight to the suddenly dark hole-in-the-wall innocuously parked on a hilltop off of Route 20. “Population two hundred and two, Dean. What the hell do you expect?”

This town is just a few miles from where I grew up. And, I used to go out with the Cletus who owns the tow-truck. Love that you picked this place. And, love the fic.
