If you disregard censorship, the only reason they wouldn't put this into the show would be that it just wouldn't be the same without your fantastically unique description. The way you write, it's like they'd shed their skin, and this is how they grow it back. That doesn't really make sense, does it? But it's how I feel. Good job.

Only last night did I discover that the final chapter had been posted. I don't know how long it's been up, but it was well worth the wait. I reread the entire story, starting with "Passenger". By the time I was 1/3 of the way through WSaaP, I was crying and it was hard to stop until the very end. Though the subject was not easy, you handled it well while the characters felt true.

Thanks for this. I'm saving it to reread again in the future.

Okay, I just read the entire "With Spit and a Prayer" in one go and I must say it was an awesome ride :) Well handled from start to finish (geeze I sound like a fangirl :>) I read your stuff over at Fanfiction.net and try to keep up with your stories and enjoy them one and all. Thanks for writing, it makes my heart turn over and can bring me to giggles (I love my dirty pretty boys, angst and all). Keep up the good work and I will read over your shoulder

So... our two boys are finally back to being normal / behaving like themselves again (or somewhat at least). I really feel like this is about the most logical / fitting ending you could have written to the story, so I must congratulate you on your continuously original take on the very disturbing evenst that have taken place over these 24 chapters. Fantastic! Very well done!

I have never come across a Wincest-story quite like yours before, and I am very glad I did. Thank you for the fascinating read, and my sincere congratulations on your writing-skills. They really are one of a kind as far as I have witnessed so far!

Best regards, and maybe until a next time.

Ahh... Well, well. The best Supernatural fic I've read comes to a fitting end. I was almost surprised that it had such a satisfactory feel to it. It was still carving a hole into the reader's emotions right to the end, but when it was over it felt similar to the feel of all the real episodes - they leave, another chapter behind them ready to surface one day if need be. Now that this story is done I must say I am really, really impressed with it. You didn't fall into the final trap that would've been pushing them together, but retained their characters and really gave them the kind of pain ride that could only end in two ways: death or dealing. You chose to make them deal and for that, I really respect you.

Thank you. Reading this has been a pleasure, right to the end, and I'll have you know there aren't many stories that can truly impress me in any fandom. Yours has done. If you ever write more on this site, I'll be sure to find it. I don't have LJ, but I might still lurk yours. Who knows...but thanks, a lot.

I almost didn't want to read the last chapter, because I was so not ready for it to end. But, if it has to end, I like that you've done it this way. Not with a miracle cure or a rushed 'and they lived happily ever after' but with something realistic and with the smallest outline of hope that maybe things are going to be okay. And what a journey I feel like I've been on reading this. You've reduced me to tears, ripped my heart out and induced all kinds of painful reactions...but all in the best way possible. And I know I've mentioned it before, but it deserves mentioning again. Your details of what Sam and Dean went through, their different reactions to similar things, everything about the character development...it was all so well thought out, just perfect in every way. Thank you so much for writing this...I have a feeling it's going to stay with me for a long time.

Wow...this chapter just blew me away with the understanding it developed for both the characters and the readers. I love the way you've done that, developed part of the plot so that certain things are only explained to the reader at the same time the characters discover it...another reason we feel like we're right there with these characters, practically feeling what they feel. It's quite intense and very effective. It's also very pleasing to see you explaining everything very realisitcally. It all makes sense. That kind of detail is appreciated, not all writers have the time for such insight. It's rare to find a fic with a great plot and strong character depth that can induce such a strong reaction.

Well, well, well... I can't tell you just how much I LOVE getting inside of Sam and Dean's head like this! It's an intensely fascinating journey on which we get to know everything that happened to, and that's being thought of and felt by the brothers concerning the demonic rape, and I really, really want to continue on this journey until the very end.

You're awesomely great at writing the detailed psychological analysis that your story is, so by all means: give us the rest!

Congrats on the result of your continuous work and until next time!
