By Sunrize83

"Our mom died when Sam was six months old. He's been mine ever since."

I think I want to marry that line I love it so much.

Great chapter, you scared me for poor little Sammy, luckily for him he has the bestest big bro to take care of him. Can't wait for the last part :)

[sunrize83]

Psst--that was my favorite line too. :) I'm so glad you liked it. And you're right, Dean is such a great big bro. Wish he were mine (but I'm afraid my thoughts might not be sisterly).

Oh my goodness, you gave Sam seizures. I think I love you. (I have a little seizure!Sammy thing, as Faye D. will attest...)

Well, wow, when I saw the Secret Santa prompt over at the SFTCOL(AR)S board, I thought "that would be really difficult to write", but you make it look effortless! I love your imagery and your characterisation. Both boys just seem very much like them. I love that you've taken that one thing from the end of Bloody Mary (Sam seeing Jess) and actually put it in some kind of context and given it meaning (I've always wished the show would have done something with that). I love that Dean sees Jess too. Did I mention the seizures? Yeah, I kind of adore them too.

Looking forward to the final part (and kind of apprehensive about my own Secret Santa fic now...). <3

Thank you, thank you. Your words have really hit the spot. I've always been bothered that they didn't follow up on that Jess sighting at the end of BM. I read somewhere it's because they've had a hard time getting the actress. But I've also always wanted to write this scenario--that Mary left Sam with a little bit of damage before they got rid of her. And adding the Jess sighting into the mix felt right. I'm thrilled you agree!

And I can't wait to read your SS fic!

[sunrize83]

Thank you! Last part is well underway. Should hopefully post soon.

Totally love this chapter but I really wasn't expecting what happened. Nice twist.

Great first part and good description of Dean panicking and calling 911, and thank goodness he did.

Loved the first part of the next scene with Dean waiting for news, slowly going 'bat-shit' - nice description!

"He's in good hands, Dean."
He nodded, taking another sip. "You may be right. But they're not my hands."
Yup, he doesn't trust anyone else with Sam, not even a neurosurgeon!

"Our mom died when Sam was six months old. He's been mine ever since." He's been mine ever since. Oh, Dean. That sums up so much.

Totally love Dr. DePaola. "Dude, I'm nearly thirty. Not to mention I'm a frickin' prodigy." ROTFL!

Lovely description at the end of Dean at Sam's bedside, taking his hand after a brief hesitation. Sam'll rib him about that when he wakes up!

So now I'm anxious to see where Jess's ghost fits into all this and how you're going to finish it in only one more part.

It's alway so much fun to read your comments and hear what struck you. Thank you so much for giving me that kind of detailed feedback, it really means a lot. Does DePaola remind you of anyone? As I was writing I was finding him a bit like Vin's Dr. Lorenzo.

[sunrize83]

Thank you so much. I'm glad I've got you on the edge of your seat. There should be more very soon.
