That actually makes perfect sense! and on top of that, it was exactly what I was going for. Glad you enjoyed it. :)

Thanks for reading!

If Dean notices, he makes a point not to show it and John supposes in some distant way he’s grateful for that.---That is spot on Winchester dynamics. This piece is so bitter with innocence loss with nobody really complaining, it's just their life. Wonderful work.

Oh, thank you so much! I'm rather fond of that part of them. John's refusal to give up the hard lifestyle is definitely one of his more bittersweet aspects. I'm glad it came through.

Thanks for reading!

See this is exactly why I love John. He knows deep down that he's screwing up his family and that yeah, he could change it, he could do the normal things. But in the end it would just mean they'd all die that much sooner, that by not being the typical father he's saving his family. Sacrifices are hard, that's why it's a sacrifice. XD

(I wish more people understood that part of him as well as you appear to. Then maybe so many people wouldn't write him as an absolute bastard. *sigh*)

Oh, thanks so much for the praise! I'm really flattered that all that came through in the fic. You are too too right, and I have to say that I'm ten kinds of glad to see another person who understands that bit about him as well. ^^ John completely deserves that level of respect, even if it's a less than pleased level. (oh John, why do you make your kids sad!)

thanks so much for reading/commenting! :D
