I'm just getting lazy, I tell ya--but I keep losing my formatting, so I'm just going to post the link for you guys. Hope you enjoy and, if you do, please drop me a line and let me know. Thanks!

Chapter One

Chapters to follow in subsequent posts...

Aw, jeez...I forgot to mention that if you prefer to read it at Supernaturalville, FanLib or LJ, let me know...I have links to those places as well.

That is a really good story you have going. I am officially hooked. Let me know when you post the next chapter please because I really want to keep up with this fic. I don't wanna forget about it.

ive already reviewed, but im still gonna dance through the thread in my happiness

Lol, Noelle, that's just funny right there, I don't care who you are...hee. I love the dancing gifs. Yep, got your review and thank you so very much! I was nervous about getting back in the water.

Kittypride, thank you! I was about to conclude that I should just stick to posting at ff.net and Supernaturallville. Do you have an account at either one of those places? Just asking because they have alerts for you and if you're the only one reading here and you have an account there...of course, if not, I'll gladly keep leaving you the links here even if you are the only one

I'm super grateful to you both for leaving feedback

I sadly don't have an account at anyone of those places. Maybe I should I get one or something. . If you could just keep letting me know on here that would be great. Thank you. .

anytime, Nicole lol...im just an extremely...odd...person lol...every now and then the hyperness shows through in my posts tee hee

kittypride, i dont have an account at ffn, but i still read it there and review....the only time not having an account gets in the way is if an author doesnt allow anon. reviews

Yeah, I know that. But sometimes I forget some of the stories I was reviewing and then can't find them again. That is why it's best to be reminded here. There are too many fan fics that I am reading at the moment, which is why I need the reminder.

this is really good. I like it so far. And talk about starting off with a bang (oh, that was a really bad joke *shakes head* we'll say it's from lack of sleep )
This is really good. And what's up with Dean's eyes. When eyes go screwy with these boys, you know somethings wonky's going on. Which is never good. CAn't wait for more. Great job. JJ

Wow, I had no idea that you all had been talking to me...I rely on the e-mail notices and sometimes I don't get them. I'm sorry guys. Thanks for the support!

Let me also say, I'm sorry this update was so late in coming. I had yet another kidney stone attack, but this time it got stuck and I had to go in and have it busted up. I was down and out for a week and half which totally put me behind. Don't worry, I'm a kidney stone making machine, so its not the first time by far and it won't be the last time...just call me Stoney, lol.

Okay, here's the next chapter. As per usual, I'm nervous about it just like every time I post. You'd think I'd be over that by now. Anyway, haven't had many reviews so far at ff.net, but I'm hoping its just a slow night...I hope you like it.

Chapter 3

gah! stones suck...im lucky enough to have never had them, but dad has and i've taken care of him after he had them broken

i hope your feeling better! i left my review over at ffn

Yeah, I'm feeling much better, I go back this week for more x-rays to make sure they all passed okay. Some of the fragments were the size of a BB! But, I had my Vicodin to keep me happy, lol.

Thanks for the review, I sent you a personal response by e-mail.

yay for pain killers!!!! ouch! a BB?! those hurt (ok, i didnt pass one, i was shot in the face, but im sure its close to the same thing )

Lol! Yeah, well, the Vicodin was nearly not enough until they passed, but then all was well.

Btw, I love that top banner...it's got hurt!Dean

Very good chapter! hurt!Dean is done so much justice by your hand.

I am glad to hear the pain killers are helping you, hun. Hope you are well on your way to feeling better.

I was curious, were you going to post this on supernaturalville.net? Maybe I just missed it. Anyway, great work as usual.
