NOTES

This story is set around episode 6x14, just after Sam has his first Hell flashback.

crimson_adder made me some great, actual hand-drawn art. (Thank youu!) I am pretty much blown away by her work. Go check it out!

Props to the tireless spn_j2_bigbang mods, of course, and much gratitude to allback2mine for talking through the premise of this story and lazy_daze for some lovely details. A shout out to the e-mail chain peeps who were fantastic and amusing throughout the editing process—that was way fun, guys!

Finally, thanks to my fabulous betas—lavishsqualor, heard_the_owl, & britomart_is—who helped so much when I despaired of ever stringing together a semi-coherent plot, and who I now talk to on a regular basis because they are awesome.

MWEAH... read in one go, totally loved it all over, did suspect the couple to be hunters beforehand though lol.

That was where he was at: morally reprehensible and turned on.

And there has never been a more accurate description of Dean Winchester extraordinaire EVER. My, this was so much fun. Even though I didn't really get the Hendrikson stuff. Or what the heck Rufus and Bobby were up to, but hey, whatever, the Sam-'n-Dean action was just too fricking splendid to make me care.

[glovered.livejournal.com]

Woah, I got this comment right after you posted it. The link looks like it works to me, but I can email you the pdf if you want?

[glovered.livejournal.com]

I deleted the last comment so your email wasn't floating all over the webs. Tell me if you didn't get the email!

[allback2mine.livejournal.com]

Yaaay! I'm going to read this now. It's such a long time since we talked about it, it's going to feel like a new story. I AM READY TO LOVE IT AGAIN *braces self*.

PS Did you decide about WinCon, are you going, are you? I need to know how jealous to be.

[glovered.livejournal.com]

Weee! Hello again. And no, I haven't decided about WinCon. The future is a mystery.

[allback2mine.livejournal.com]

Hello! If you are undecided then I shall put my potential jealousy on ice until an unspecified point in the unknown future. How are you glovered? Are you well? I have no Minstrels to share with you today. I'm sorry.

[glovered.livejournal.com]

I love Minstrels ;__; But thank you for thinking of me in conjunction with such a fine candy, that is very flattering.

Just listened to the podfic of this and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Loved Dean's internal dialogue especially, and the vividness of your description. Can't wait to read more from you!

[glovered.livejournal.com]

I'm so pleased that you liked it! The podfic is so well-done, for reals. Happy creeping-through-my-masterlist, TaD!

[amethyst-rei.livejournal.com]

Hi! Could you please re-upload the PDF to another hosting site (as MU has been taken down)? I'd greatly appreciate it. :)

[glovered.livejournal.com]

Hey, I think I'm going to just start asking people to d/l from A03, so click the right link Here! Hope you enjoy it :))

[amethyst-rei.livejournal.com]

Oh, sorry! I didn't even realize you had it on A03. I must not have looked carefully enough. ^^"

Sorry! And thanks so much for sending me the link! I can't wait to read this story-- I've heard such fantastic things about it.

Once again, thanks!

[glovered.livejournal.com]

No worries! Thank you so much for reminding me to change the link up there!

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

I really enjoyed this! I listened to the podfic, and I was just, enthralled all the way through. I loved the swkward tension, and Dean and Sam both wanting so badly while they were ~pretending to be a couple, and the reveal at the end, that Dean didn't want Sam to go to hell for it. And I always love it when Sam and Dean get to live in a house, for whatever reason. Lovely story!

I'm so glad you liked it. The pretend-couple trope is my absolute favorite, something about forced PDA where otherwise they would never do anything in public, or even in private, that was that overt. <3 <3
