Thanks: Mega thanks, as usual, to my amazing beta _sharvie_ She made me work at this - as she usually does - and I love her for it. *smishes*

Special thanks also to machain808 for her valuable initial feedback and for being a font guru. *hugs* . And to Toni for her squeeful initial response and for pointing out a couple of important things. I’m extremely lucky to have such wonderful people to call on.

It’s long I know – way past my personal 3 min max for a vid, but I needed it all to tell this somewhat epic tale.

No money made, but comments are gratefully accepted. :D

WOW!! This is . . . I have no words! But be sure I'm shedding a tear over here right now . . . *grabs a tissue* Awesome job, honey!!

Thank you so do much hun! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! :D

[marinarusalka.livejournal.com]

Whoa. That's fantastic.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! :D

[glendaglamazon.livejournal.com]

WOW! That was amazing! It brought tears to my eyes, seriously.

So many of your vids have great humor, but this one is such a brilliant narrative. You chose such key moments and the song suits their struggle perfectly because of the way you've put it together. I especially love seeing these scenes in chronological order (and it's a credit to our show that it works so well when put together that way).

I am intending to show it to a friend who has only started watching with S4 and who isn't keen to go back and watch all the earlier stuff. This will tell him the whole story, I think.

Thank you so very much for sharing this amazing work!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for your kind words! :D

It works as a bit of a recap - I think your friend should be all caught up to date with the show (though you'll have to tell him it's not all doom and gloom!)

Thanks so much for watching and commenting. :D

I love the changes to the middle section that you made. They definitely strengthened the narrative. And yay for pretty fonts :D

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thanks hun. And yeah, I tried to mix it up a bit. (not enough it would seem).

Yay fonts!

Thanks for all your help. :)

That was stunning, gorgeous, and absolutely perfect. I might just be overly emotional tonight, but it made me cry! *sniffle* Wonderful job. :)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Oh hun thank you so much! I keep thinking I've missed the mark on this one so your comment has lifted my spirits. :D

Thanks again.

That is epic and heartbreaking. I love how you showed the progression of what they've been through, following that thread for John and Dean and Sam.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Oh thank you so much! It is such an epic tale - I'm really glad you liked the progression. Like father, like sons it would seem.

Thanks so much for watching and commenting hun. *hugs*

I freaking LOVE this vid. One of my favorite SPN vids ever. Perfect.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Wow! Really?! Thats's.....made my day actually. :D :D

Thank you so much.

*hugs*

[shendara.livejournal.com]

Wonderful. Perfect song, perfect editing - I fell in love with the video don't even know how often I watched in the last few hours. One of the best fandvids I've ever seen. :)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Wow! Thank you so much. That's wonderful to hear. Glad you enjoyed it! :D

Thanks for letting me know. :D

I just wanted to let you know... this is probably my favourite Supernatural video of all time. And I'm not kidding, I can't even count the many times I've watched this already.

It's perfect, beautiful, heart-breaking... it totally sums up what SPN is all about. And it brings me to tears which is a good thing seeing as I am quite an emotional type of person :]

haha, okay. I feel better, now that I got this comment off my chest xD

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Hi! Thank you SO much for letting me know. I am quite attached to this vid so it's lovely to hear when it works for someone. Thanks again for stopping by to tell me. I really appreciate it. :D

[stormcloude]

I was going through my saved vids recently and I'm not sure how I missed watching this one before, but, man, this really blew me away. Such a great study of the Winchester family dynamics and revenge and how those themes run through the whole show. Awesome vid!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Hi. Thank you so very much. You mentioned all the reason why, when I heard this song, I wanted to make it. I'm so glad that all came through.

Thanks so much for watching and commenting. :D

[wickedgrdn.livejournal.com]

I just wanted to comment and tell you how beautiful and amazing this video is. This was rec'd around a couple of SPN comms and ever since I've been watching it at least once a day for the last week or so, LOL. And thanks for turning me onto Poets of the Fall, what a lovely haunting piece of music. So fitting for our show. :) You did a beautiful job with this. ♥

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Hi. Thank you so very much. It's wonderful to hear you have been watching it. I just loved this song when I heard it - it seemed so fitting for the Winchester story.

Thank you for popping my and letting me know. I really appreciate that. :D

[cocodkr.livejournal.com]

How was it possible that I only discovered this vid today???
You made once again a great vid. Heartbreaking…*no tissues left @home*
Thank you so much.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm glad you found it. :D

Thanks so much for your lovely comment. Sorry about the tissues though... :)

I've actually downloaded this a while ago and I'm sorry I didn't get around to feedback earlier!

I've watched the video many many times since then and each and every time it breaks my heart. You really did a fantastic job of linking all those defining moments together, of making this arc of pain and desperation and love visible and palpable. I adore the fun and humor SPN has to offer, but what has me thinking about the show for a long time even after a season finale is the family (back)story, and you capture it so amazingly and take it to a whole new level. Oh, and perfect choice of song!

Also, *friends* :) Don't want to miss any new videos and will definitely check your older ones!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Hi. Thank you so much for letting me know. I'm so glad this vid worked for you - it was one that I was very close to. When I heard this song I couldn't resist it.

Thanks again and thanks for the friend. I'm working on a vid at the moment - I hope to have it out soon. (As soon as it start cooperating that is!)

[varkelton]

Just finished rewatching this one and it totally made me cry. I usually don't like the slower paced vids as much, but this one is just gorgeous. Thank you!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Hi there.

Thank you so very much. I find the slower paced vids much harder to make (give me a stand out beat any day!) - so I'm really glad you liked this one.

Thanks for popping by. :)

[ashtraythief.livejournal.com]

Ha, I knew that this was by you! It's a truly wonderful heartbreaking vid. Love how you spun the tale of the Winchester's woes!
