(er, for those who read this before? It's the sea one, just with a different title.)
Summary: Dean remembers Texas as blackland stretching in marker-thick strips of vivid brown and black, broken with the sprawling metroplexes of Dallas and San Antonio and Houston; farms spread with the yellow tops of maize waving in pre-autumn winds, threshers moving complacently through the fields with drowsy men in hats waving at the road. He remembers green and gold fields dotted with cows, half-year calves running on the outskirts of the herds. He remembers these were what he saw between jobs, lives being lived that had nothing to do with creeping twilight and sleeping only behind salt circles and ritual wards.
Author Notes: I have--a lot of people.
samdonne issued the challenge back in January for a Dean meets John Sheppard that I couldn't--quite--get out of my head when I asked for prompts, which means I hit a record of answring four of my own prompts. My flist who pre-read and sometimes brutally critiqued (this I love you for), those who stuck around to the end and told me what they liked and what they didn't.
cjandre,
rheasilva,
svmadelyn,
eleveninches, and
amireal who picked it to pieces and put it back together again. If I missed anyone, my apologies. I think pretty much everyone on my flist January through March who left such helpful and inspiring commentary seriously deserves some kind of award for watching me try to write the rough draft of a novel live.

From:*eyes work* Well, that didn't get done. *shrugs* Oh, who cares.
I was trusting you, duh, and I was - not amazingly - kinda right to. What a fucking ride, man. The fic wot will eat your head! SO great, omg. Kind of impossible to say how much, it just makes me flail with glee. It made me cry! It made me grin! It was WAY, WAY better than cats, and whoa, the bits Into Teh Woods are so cool. All of it. Jesus. What a fucking page turner. *plans to reread real soon, too*
I feel like I need an icon for awe, for this kind of circumstance.

From:Got your comments--I'm going back to fix all the weird lowercase john's tonight (ask me how much that freaked me out when I saw it this morning. Outright. Panic), so I'll make those corrections as well. And you know, anything else you belatedly remmber seeing, should you see anything.
(FIVE PLACES THE HTML SLAMMED LINES TOGETHER. NO I AM NOT IN A LOW KEY PANIC AT ALL)
*chews nails*
*hugs you* thank you so much.
*thoughtful* Honestly, I'm surprised people are *reading* when it's this long and you know, mid-week. Thanks for posting so quickly--I've been tense about it for--er, since *March*.

From:I liked it a lot. Coherent and just twisted enough that all the parts fit. I guessed the end. Couldn't be anything else. Loved your Dean. Just, yeah. Very in character.
Thanks for a wonderful 2 and half hours of very good escapism.

From:I stressed over Dean. Watching the show isn't the smae as writing him--I think of all the characters, he got the most worrying about.
I'm very glad you enjoyed it!

From:This story is wonderful, so layered and thick with plot, descriptions characters and surprises it takes its time to read. I mean that in a good way. I've never read any Chthulu books actually (a crime, I know) so I'm not sure how much the ideas are woven into this. But for me it was all fresh and new apocalyptic world, the sacrifices and the intrigues of the psychics and the plot that you never lost track of.
Your Dean wa slovely and I ached for him missing Dean. At first I thought he was dead and I was so glad to find out he'd been banned to Canada :D by his own brother. Hee! I loved that solution for why Sam couldn't come back for him.
John and his lost little family, you really did manage to show they were missing a person without overtelling it. And Dean's POV on them and finding out in bits and pieces was really well done and not... over explaining (?) which I often come across in crossovers. Instead you trickled the informaton in gaps throughout the whole and it made a beautiful story.
Complete and utter love, and I was this close to start crying at the end even if I hoped he'd come back post-ascended. Because the way you wrote it, Rodney's and Dean's feelings are so in your face you just fall with them.

From:Giant vagina-metaphorish multidimensionalish monster who dislikes Euclidian geometry. The name, though, is *so cool*.

From:I love, love, love how you blended traditional mythology with local mythology with really-fucked-up Lovecraftian mythology. How the local bad guys were so scared they helped John out. Loved the cracked-out Sam and Daniel (John is so lucky O'Neill wasn't around), and of course our old friends the Gou'aould (sp).
I sure hope Dean gets the courage to go after Teyla...can you say smokin' hot?
