Dean is being stupid and screwing things up when he doesn't have to. He told Lisa about his life. Based on her responses in the episodes, she would have been okay with him going on hunting trips as long as he checked in with her and came back between hunts to see her and Ben. Many hunters had families, and homes they returned to, so Dean wouldn't be the first. I look forward to seeing if Dean learns more about doing things better.

It's really great to see a version of this season that has Dean confiding in Lisa, and her helping him to heal and feel like he can feel something, anything again. I'm glad that Balthazar helped Cas, and look forward to the changes there as well. I also look forward to seeing what happens with Sam's reappearance, so relatively soon, but with Cas and Dean still working together, and Lisa and Dean growing closer.

I love this story please update soon. But it really pisses me off when dean just drops Lisa and cas for Sam when he has proven on the show to not do the same for him. I really like dean and Lisa together and dean and cas are best friends so I really hope he helps with the war and that dean and Lisa don't break up like they did on the show

okay so this is one of my favorite fics and I'm really hoping you haven't abandoned it because seriously it's great

So we are going the soulless Sam route! Or at least, I'm guessing! Very well done chapter! I really enjoyed the subtleties of Sam's different demeanor, as well as Dean's immediate recognition that something is off with his brother. Loved the reunion with Bobby too! Very well written and true to character! Thanks for sharing!

*sigh* Can you at least resolve the soulless Sam problem faster than in canon? Because I don't want to go through that again. It was excruciating enough the first time.

wow this is all so well put together! I really enjoy this alternate timeline a lot

SAMMY! XD I Know it's your story not mine but please don't make him soulless! lol Though he doesn't seem to be. Anyway this was fantastic! Loved the reunion! Great work! Your banter between the brothers was completely IC and I loved how Dean is like a kid in a candy store, barely controlling his excitement!

Awwww... you're going the RoboSam route! *pouts*

Sammy! :D

Sam is gonna still be soulless right? I sure hope so. Soulless Sam was a nice change for that time.

Dean tells Lisa about everything. Balthazar helps Castiel. And Sammy is rising from the Cage! Well, I was hoping for Adam to escape as well, but it wasn't meant to be I supposed. Was Sam heartless? Please update soon!

A bit late, for Sam's rising, but better late then never. LOL Wonder who did it this time.

Just a point.

Cass had raised Sam from the cage, before he went to heaven.

I loved this! One it was nice to see Lisa call Dean out for his secrecy and two, that ending was amazing! The epic return of Sam Winchester!
