Ahh...you must've done a lot of background work for this piece. I admire and applaud that.

I really liked this chapter, good job! You captured their awkwardness and the way they both hurt but had to try just...prefectly. Especially Dean, whose point of view worked like a dream here. Sam was trying so hard and being so advanced - yet obviously finding it difficult. But Dean, Dean was just heart-wrenching and I really felt detached from the world reading this. So, thank you, and I'll see you next time.

oh my god.... i just read this fic for the first time and i'm hooked. i sat down and read through all the chapters in one sitting. and wow... talk about mind blowing here. i have never read anything that just comes off sounding so... right like your fic does. i can't wait until you update again.

Oh yes, yes, yes, yes, yes... I'm enjoying this so much! I really am.

It's utterly and deeply fascinating to read about the process of both brothers "getting better", especially because you just right it so incredibly well... One would think that you yourself actually ARE a psychiatrist or at least have one as a close relative, because I can really believe every word that has been written so far in these last few chapters.

Congratulations on that! It lifts you up to not just "being a good author", but way up to "being a great, fantastic author". You've got a talent for this, and you're using it well.

I still haven't got an idea of how it will all end, where it will lead, or if there's still more to come for that matter... But if there is, then I will most certainly read and savour every word of it.

Wow, I feel shattered. I remember reading and really being moved by "Passenger". I was happy to see that you are writing a substantial sequel to that story. I stayed up all night reading and I want to cry for both Dean and Sam. I can't imagine anything more horrifying for either of them, other than outright killing each other. I was relieved when Dean took the plunge and left and maneuvered Sam into therapy, but my heart was breaking because he wasn't doing anything for himself.

Love Dr. Horst. He pushes pretty hard, but I like how non-judgmental he is and how he truly comes across as an advocate for his patients.

I don't where this story is going. I just hope that Chapter 22 isn't the end.

Oh my...such emotional progress! I applaud you. The sessions with Horst, the inner progress, the brothers' common urge to find their way out... Such an amazing, amazing chapter. I love the way they're slowly trying to work things out, both on their own and now gradually together too. Maybe there is light at the end of this tunnel - be that as it may, I can honestly say your story is the best I've read in a long, long time.

Kudos and much love. See you next time.

*squeal* Sam's finally beginning to understand! And they're finally back in the same room! And Dean isn't storming out of Horst's office every five minutes! I'm so happy for them! Another beautifully written chapter, you never fail to amaze me with your talent.

I'm going to keep this short and to the point:

Don't you dare stop now! These last 3 chapters were very, VERY good! Really well-done!

And I'm guessing / hoping that what follows next will be at least as good.

Anxiously awaiting the sequel.

So excited to see a new chapter up. And what a chapter! I don't even know where to start on why I loved it. The improvement Sam's making is putting a huge smile on my face, but then at the end, Sam's episode broke my heart all over again. I never know how each chapter's going to affect me and that makes it all the more exciting. Bring on the next one!

Just so you know, that ending scene was...absolutely heart-wrenching.

Dean's sessions with Horst are progressing nicely - still as realistic as ever. I do love Horst as a character, you know; he doesn't stand out, doesn't steal the show, he's exactly what he's needed to be and that is the catalyst to unlock the painful healing process. Sam and Dean couldn't do it by themselves, but it's still their own doing now that they are slowly progressing toward it. Very well planned and carried out just marvellously.

And Sam, poor Sam, he's trying so hard but it's still so complicated. I really look forward to the next instalment, you always manage to exceed the enormously high expectations.

I really felt I had to review chapter 19 before I moved on to 20, cause you know, it was so good I wanted to be able to gush before I forgot what I wanted to gush about. I suppose one of the things I really like about your fics is the way you present the therapy, I like the way you present the different characters reaction to similar situations in such diverse ways. It really brings to life the people your writing about, instead of just being cardboard cutouts of characters from the show, they are living real personalities which you have devoted much understanding and skill too. For example Deans reaction to therapy vs. Sams, and the way that dean is internalising much of what is happening in the therapy, its making his guilt worse rather than releiving it. I also like the way you point out that Dean is also a rape vitcim here, it's a very valid point and it adds dimensions and truth to your story which much fanfic's miss (not that I mind, I mean I'm hardly looking for deap literary persuites here, but your story, is different, better, complex) See I guess I just mean Wow, the story just keeps on getting better, and better
