I spent my day reading this and it was so wonderful to have something that was able to clean my mind from the really bad fic I found Saturday.
Seriously, this is one of my favorite universes, no, definitely my favorite one. So much that when Sam realized Dean was missing my first thought was 'get Charlie, she can always find her daddy' and when the shots happened my first thought was 'Mary!'. Yeah, I'm this much in love with this verse.
Also, I remember thinking, and even asking and wondering, if it wouldn't be nice if Dean had another child. When I got to the epilogue I was cheering! Also, Dean got back to his job, right? Please?
I love all of them, but I specially love Dean and Charlie. And it was such shock to realize that Allie is a teenager in this, and despite what Sam wants, she is a hunter, it's in her blood and she won't let this go. I foresee a lot of discussion between father and daughter.
Loved this, absolutely loved this!
Great work!
Congratulations, darling!

*hands you a mop and bucket*

That's to clean up the gushing I'm about to unleash. Sorry in advance for the mess, okay? So bloody good -- a tight story with unbelievably good dialogue, leave me to fill in the silences when I need to, give me a surprise when I'm least expecting it, make me cringe, make me laugh, give me a dog called Christo that loses bladder control when faced with flesh-borrowing zombies.

I feel that I'm becoming unseemly in my rapture. On second thought, disregard the mop. Put your feet up and have some chocolate; I'll call for maid service. Thanks.

I loved the story, wonderful plot, character voices, and the story was really creepy in parts.

Ok DUDE this so rocked! I loved it and just wanted to cry for poor Charlie and wanted to smack Dean for getting back to Dani cuz she seriously didn't deserve him and I adore the whole Sam/Dean/Sarah thing. ANYWAYS I hope you do more cuz I really do adore this whole AU. Awesome job!!

This is just a phenomenal series and I'm always happy to see another part. I really loved the intensity of this. I loved the family closing ranks. And the idea that normal for the Winchesters will never be the normal the rest of us have.

Wow, indeed. I absolutely loved this story, as I've loved all the tales in the Salvation Universe. The "villain" of the story was creepy as all get out. Definitely had that psychopathic flavour, of the type that seems so fond of Dean. And so the tension was palpable, as the action was unfolding, and the plot was fascinating.

But what I loved most about it, was when Sam was reminding Dean that he was essential and necessary to their entire family. That if anything were to happen to him, it would kill them all. And how he was more than a little exasperated that Dean didn't seem to "get" that, even after so many years. It was good to see him spelling out to Dean that he wasn't allowed to just leave him, or his family behind. Even if it was for their own good. And his threat to come and find Dean, if he didn't check in, was just so Sam. Stubborn and determined beyond belief, when it comes to his beloved brother. And I thought that it was so interesting how Charlie said that Sam was one of Dean's kids, just like her.

Excellent stuff. Long may you continue to write, because I am simply humbled by your talent. And your Sam and Dean make me happy. Thanks so much for sharing. :)

oh...my... i can't even...wrap my head around this

i had a booboo througout it, but the ending was a fantastic band-aid

i...can't even pick out what part to quote because, really, it would be rude to take up so much comment space since the entire. piece. would be used

*gives you cookies* i adore you. so so so much

I really like this. I love seeing Dean finally have an extended family; but more than that, I love it when it's just him and Sam, and watching them interact and be what they are for each other. So many writers don't get that balance just right; you know, they aren't moony-eyed newlyweds who are gonna be humping each other's leg every thirty minutes. But it's there, and it will always be there, and I love seeing it come to the surface every now and then. It's so much more than could be explained, understood, halfway known by anyone but themselves. *I am your Biggest Fan!*

Is it, has it ever been, will it ever be a problem between them? Anything less than a healing force?

What if he had to choose between Charlie and Sam? (And no, sacrificing himself is not an option, for whatever reason.) How would that go down?

I still want to see Charlie all grown up. And Allie, too, and Mary. All of them.

And John! I wanna see Grandpa Winchester, bless your AU. Supernatural could go to complete hell, be cancelled, whatever; and I think I could keep reading this verse for years.

On the Melly Belly Scale of 1-10? This ones a 10.

An explanation of The Melly Belly Scale?

Well now, its all about the very physical reaction the written word can have on me and my belly.

A 1 would mean barely a flutter in the tummy, a 5 would mean either a few ripples from giggling or a slight queasiness from the angst-fest or scare tactics.

A ten? Well now, that means tummy-twirling angst ahoy! It means snark that has you really laughing, it means clever twists and turns that have you clutching the abdomen in suprise. It means your stomach rolls at the evilness contained within the monster within. It means you care so much for the Salvation!Winchesters that your physically worried about their welllbeing.

And in this instance? It means I very stupidly COULD NOT LEAVE MY DESK until I scrolled down to the very end of this story. That means I gave myself a tummy ache from holding on and on and not getting up and peeing ON TOP OF ALLA THAT OTHER MALARKEY ABOVE!

Nevermind that the story has been posted for posterity, and would be here when I got back from the loo. Nevermind that at all! I had to get to end.

Howzat for a sterling endorsment?

Disinterment, a 10 on the Melly Belly Scale.
"I couldnt pee for christs sake" says Melly.

Ha! Ridiculous behaviour. All your fault of course Barb. :)

I stumbled across your series 'A Month of Open Doors' I think through the Spn fic podcast comm and read all of it in one night. Then, I found your this Salvation AU you wrote and read all of that the next night. And for a week or so now, I've been trying to come up with the right words to leave you feedback.

The world and future you created for the boys left me speechless. It's so them and how I want them to end up. Still them but content -that doesn't seem like the right word but. Like I said - speechless.

This fic? Entirely blew me away. Just. Everything about it. I've read it three times since in about 24 hours and it's still just as powerful. It gave me goosebumps in spots and I can't tell you when or IF I've ever had that reaction to a fan fic.

I really enjoyed reading the bits with Dean and Dani the most. She seemed to develop more in this fic, fleshed out a bit to me. And of course, Dean with the girls, specifically Charlie makes my heart clench with emotion Or that might be hormones. ;)

And now I've rambled on far too long. But I wanted to thank you for writing this and for making this future for the boys to have.

You. I. You. Killin' me! And you've already written a coda! Killing. Me.

I read this early this morning after pulling an all-nighter, and I could not formulate a response beyond buh buh buhbuhbuhbuh. I've progressed slightly to ohmigod ohmigod ohmiGOD.

The mood, the atmosphere, the world you created here, my god, I completely lose myself, and feel startled at the end when I struggle back to the real one.

I love Charlie and Allie, and the rest of the family, but what I love best is that Sam and Dean are, well, Sam and Dean, and they still, still just love and need each other so very much.

Gah. Killing. Me.

I would love to be able to make some wise, pithy observation. To comment at length about the narrative and prose. You get all intelligent and thinky.

I’d love to, but I’ve been trying for the past hours since reading this and I just can’t.

So… *points at fic* Rkcd fdksa;ff fdsa fndjw jdsafdn feu fdsja fjdsakfn!!!

*clears throat, straightens scholarly glasses, and nods* Yes.

I love you so much.

Oh God. i say it everytime you write more of this and I'll say it again: Hands down my favorite future verse EVER. Every little nuance is so tight and Sam and Dean are just spot on and all the women are Winchester to the core. Bringing Dani back around in any other fic would've seemed cliche but it works so well here. I mean really, once you've had Dean, no matter how A type and stubborn you are, could you really ever replace him? Glad she finally wised up.

Thanks again for such wonderful stories. You make this fandom rock everytime you put pen to paper girl. Thanks for continuing to do it.

[embroiderama]

Wow, this is an amazingly wonderful story. It really just blew me away, and I'm not sure what to say in detail. I especially love the girls starting to come into their own strengths as they get older.

[dolimir-k.livejournal.com]

Remember how I said that your salvation universe had become my comfort fic? Well, I wasn't lying. The past two weeks have been especially bad and so I have really been wrapping myself up in the stories.

And because of that, I have a question that's starting to burn.

Dean says he's not going to remarry Dani because women only get one chance to throw him away. BUT can Dean live with his child being considered a bastard? Yeah, in today's society it doesn't seem to have the same stigma that it used to have, but family means everything to Dean.
