Well... here 'tis. The first part of the sequel to Ramble On. If you've read my stories before, you know I have a tendency to fall in love with words... I hope you won't let that sway you from reading. unsure.gif

I've outline this story to six chapters, but in the past, six has always turned into eight. I have a thing about the number eight. Don't ask...

The story is set after BUABS. There is no rest for the weary. An old friend and a new hunt pits Dean against the elements and Sam against himself as the brothers fight for each other and for survival.

Rated T for language and themes.

Hello there- Glad to see you've started posting this. I haven't had time to read it yet (as always you've given a wonderful "meaty chunk" to get going on), so I'll pop back to comment later... smile.gif
P.S. I love the banner

The description at the beginning was very well written, left me with a chill.

Here are my favorite parts:


>>Dean dropped his shoulders, resting his chin on his chest for a minute. Tension sat like a third party on the seat between them. Dean heard Sam swallow, felt the unabashed fear roll off his brother, washing over Dean in waves. Putting his back to the door, Dean faced Sam, staring at him until Sam looked back.


>>They had been in a million bars that looked exactly the same. Wooden floors, wooden furniture, wooden people. Once in awhile, a character would step from the gray background and show up in Technicolor, offering one of them—usually Dean—companionship or a mark for a hustle. But for the most part, patrons of a bar blended like the background noise of jukebox music and multiple conversations.


>>He'd never confess as much to Dean, but he enjoyed watching his brother play—both pool and people. He enjoyed watching Dean perform; it was something he was good at, and it wouldn't get him killed. *laugh* Maybe…if Sal doesn’t take him out back and shoot him for stealing his money.


>>…made him tighten in all the right places. biggrin.gif

>>DrunkSam!! Nice!!

>>Lashes long enough to portray youth blinked up to reveal green eyes that had left innocence behind. Beautiful.

>>"God, no." Maggie's chuckle was deep, shaking her shoulders slightly. She rested an elbow on the bar, cocking her hips to the side. "Hunters might be as sexy as cowboys, but they'll hurt you twice as bad." Loved that line!!

>>Dean's eyes met Maggie's squarely. "You might be surprised what I can do." I smiled at this.

>>"Hey, boy," Dean said, a grin tugging at the corner of his mouth. He hesitated a moment, then nodded, addressing the dog, "Okay, well… don't let anyone get past you." He stepped down next to Abe, then turned back. "That includes Sam." Aw, I like their new friend.

>>Dean grinned. "Belladonna…isn't that the name of a porn star?" No Dean, but women used to put it in their eyes to make the pupils larger, nightshade family, not fun, very deadly…okay shutting up now…

>>It had been a long time since anyone had said his name—his full name—with such respect. Dean found that he'd forgotten to continue with the natural act of breathing. Pulling in a lungful of air, he dropped behind the wheel of the Impala, the scents of leather and life and Sam and survival wafted around him. The smell of home.

>>When Dad had disappeared, Dean knew exactly what to do. He went to Sam. He found Sam. He knew he and Sammy could fight anything together. Together. When Sam disappeared… Dean had nothing *Sad*

>>Hell, yes, I'm hurting. You shot me, Sam. You beat the shit out of me. You dug out the darkness, the doubt, everything ugly that I know to be true and you slapped me in the face with it. You said I was worthless. You said I was worthless… *whimper*

As always, your OC's are wonderfully carved out and your playlist has me grinning like an idiot. I don't know what this talk is about having to find your writer's legs. You never were without them. Glad to see you back at solo work, and looking forward to what lies ahead.

-SJ

Thank you, chica -- I'm honored you took the time to review in each place. smile.gif You didn't have to do that, but I so appreciate it. Especially here as I'm new to posting in this forum.

You truly are a treasure and I hope you enjoy where the story goes from here...

Yipee! I've just finished reading chapter one (OK so I'm a slow reader- I like to find proper time to read through without rushing a good story. It's my excuse and I'm sticking to it blink.gif ) and here's chapter two ready for me to get my teeth into...
Anyway, I was just heading over to say how much I enjoyed the opening chapter. I liked Abe so it's nice to see him again and trust Dean to start off with a good whump! Love to know what's going on with the lobo. As always you have a great "eye" for portraying the brothers and the mixture of angst, guilt, humour and their differences and balance. Once I started reading I didn't want to stop.
Looking forward to chapter two (and the rest)

Thanks alena! I'm so happy to see you reading it! And I don't care how fast you read -- you're reading, that's enough for me. So glad you're enjoying and I hope you have fun with chapter 2!

Done it again- must be serendipity! I've popped in to comment on chapter 2 and hooray here's chapter 3 waiting for me
Another great chapter and plenty to get my teeth into- love the issues between Sam needing to talk and understand about his possession and Dean's need to push away from it as well as the pair of them coming to terms with John's deal, death and the "Sam solution". I also like the way you're teasing in the hunt details and Abe's involvement, and Maggie and Bobby. Poor Dean- can't keep out of trouble... just knew he'd have another run in with Sal and pals - just didn't expect it so soon
Anyway- looking forward to reading chapter 3 cool.gif

(I've just caught up with your comment Gaelicspirit- I've been visiting family and only managed to sneak onto my brother's computer once)
Thanks for popping in to check up on my ramblings wave.gif
I'm gritting my teeth as this is the second time I've tried to post this- computer timed out on me just as I pressed send mixedsmiley0302ok.gif - so here goes hoping...

Chapter 3
I love the link you've suggested between Lobo and Dean (Abe's description of the lobo was so Dean) and can't wait to find out more about the lobo- I'm sure there's something more going on there. Loved Dean's reaction to realising how Sam had saved him and Sam's determination to find his brother.
Sal has certainly been earning himself a "bad end" (as my Granny would have said)- perhaps he (or one of his cronnies) already has...
Looking forward to the next chapter biggrin.gif

Hi Alena! Thanks so much for your comments here -- I check every other day to see if you've commented and only just realized I could "tag" the thread and get an email sent to me. *silly Gaelic*

Anyway! The connection between Lobo and Dean is intentional and I hope when the tie is revealed it works for you. smile.gif It will be a bit, though, if you're willing to hang with me. And your Grannie's right -- Sal's gonna meet a "bad end." May even be a bit messy...

I think you might be the only one reading this over here now (hee), so I'll just put the link to the next chapter below. I hope you enjoy!

Great chapter 4 is here!! cheerleader.gif
huh.gif Ooops, I can't get at it though as it keeps asking me to login and I don't have a fanfiction account... blink.gif

Anyway- glad to hear there's more to the Dean-Lobo connection and that Sal will get his just desserts
