First of all - there's a sentence missing, or rather, the beginning of one. Check that out.

But, hmm...yet another wow. You just knew exactly how to get Dean to finally try therapy, didn't you. Perfect - there was no other way, and you nailed it. The anger, the craziness, the self-loathing and the confusion, and everything else... It just worked, once again. As we didn't get much of a glimpse into Sam this time, Dean was really under the spotlight the whole time through and it was good like that. Well done. Now, let's see where this leads and how you eventually wrap it up...I have faith that this story will keep impressing me. Realism + fucked up angst = a near-impossible combination you have obviously managed to tackle with force and skill.

We've seen Sam crash and burn, with Dean barely keeping it together to help him, now it seems the roles have reversed. I really like how you've done this, Dean needs to break before he can get himself together and it's a clever way to get him to go back to Horst. And I know I've said this before in other contexts, but the way you've handled a similar event for each brother so differently and so suited to their personality is just outstanding. Dean's breakdown was so different to Sam's, but every bit as heartbreaking. Eagerly awaiting my next fix.

dont worry about it i'll just check back every once and a while to see if you put up new chapters!
as for this one, wow that was really intense, you seem to have a real grasp of both their characters which is what makes the evolution over the course of each chapter believable. you make me feel so bad for the characters, i cant wait to see what will happen next!
Great job

Wow...how very, um, real. Believable. That might be what I love most about this story, even though it's fucked up and feverish, it's always felt real somehow. Dean's reaction to therapy was just perfect, I would've been tempted to criticize if he had just taken everything in and been co-operative from the start. He's more of a complex, stubborn kind of person anyway. So I commend you on your interpretation.

What also delights me is that Sam showed some spine. He's still far from okay, but he told Dean what had to be said - that he won't obey that kind of hasty order. Good. I can't wait to see what kind of developments follow, so I do hope you update soon enough. Take your time though, this one is always more than worth the wait...

From the first few lines I knew you'd nailed it. It's exactly how I'd expect Dean to react to therapy. The way you've taken a situation and made it so different for each brother, perfectly characterising each and every word. Very impressive. And I love the glimpse of old Sam convincing Dean to go back. As much as I love angst, the gradual improvement Sam's making is really driving the plot forward, making it so addictive. Wonder if Dean'll stick it out long enough to follow suit.

wow, thats all I can say. I am really into this story, i just read the whole thing and I can't wait for you to finish it!!! I know aff doesn't have alerts but I was wonder if you could send out an email or something for people who wanna know when your next chapter comes out, that is if you dont do that already. cause i would really love to continue!

So then, I'm finally back to leave another well-deserved little comment on your story here :-).

I can assure you that I too am still with you on this one, as I am still very much interested in the way both of the brothers are going to deal with the therapy sessions / what it will lead to!

You have a writing-stile that I haven't come across too often before at that, but that doesn't mean I like it any less, as hard as it may be sometimes to tolerate the huge amounts of gut-wrenching angst...
For instance: I still appreciate your way of writing the therapy sessions greatly, so by all means continue on your chosen path.

Do keep up the good work, and as said before: I'm not going to stop reading your story before I know how it ends (no matter how many chapters it will still take).

Best regards, and until a next time!

Aw, that was such a touching chapter, I really like the way you've established them as both strong and weak. I mean you don't make it simplistic like one of them is the strong one and the ohter is the weak one, they're both strong for each other and falling apart none the less, and yeeh, Dean is going to a therapist (cause lets face it he needed it) I do love the way you do the therapy sessions. Another REALLY great chapter, thanks

Ahh... At last, an update, and a worthy one at that. Finally someone realizes Dean needs therapy too, that Sam wasn't the only one who was hurt. It's just incredible how well this injured on the inside thing works in your hands. It's smooth, feverish and entrancing at the same time. I don't think there's anything I can say that I haven't already said before - it's all praise, praise, praise.

I can hardly wait to see what Dean's sessions are going to be like...

If it's possible, things just got even more interesting! I love where you're taking this. And I'm so glad Horst caught on about Dean being Sam's brother! It still brightens my day every time I see you've written a new chapter. Keep 'em coming!
