What a great piece! I really enjoyed it. Would you think about adding to it? I would love to see his reaction to what Bobby has to tell him. Once again - well done!

I am definitely thinking about adding to it and am so glad you would like to read more.

Thank you! &hearts

You know, I understand why you decided not to do this as a spn_j2_bigbang but oh lordy, do I wish I had the whole thing in my hands and could read it through to the end!

I loved so many lines, but I'll pick out the one that made the tears prick near the end: But John, I’m telling you this-don’t waste all this suffering. Don’t let it be for nothing.

(I also feel like I'm taking a writing class when I read your fic. It flows so effortlessly; I always feel like I'm right there. Not just in the room, but in their hearts, feeling what they feel. Never aware of the author's heavy hand guiding things along.)

Yep, unfortunately, I would never, ever have made the deadline, so I'm glad I posted it like this instead. I'm afraid I would have given up and that would be that.

Thank you so much for the lovely comments! I'm thrilled it felt effortless because it certainly didn't feel like that when I was writing it. Half the time, I feel like I'm wading through tiresome quicksand when I write. So glad it doesn't feel that way to you!

Love this fic so much. Argh such a place to stop!! I so want to hear John's reaction to the past few years. And Sam... And Dean... awwww. Love the image of them curled up together.

Bravo for another great addition and I am patiently/eagerly waiting for more. :)

I'm so glad you like the image of Sam and Dean curled together... I really need that for them. Thank you so much for letting me know you're enjoying this. I really appreciate it!

Um, I hate to be the one to point this out but you have a fairly major typo that is interfering with my enjoyment of this fic. Just two words, but I think if you change them just a leeetle teeny bit, everything will be perfect. Since you could not possibly have meant to say "The End," right? I mean, right?? RIGHT??????

*flails*

SO GOOD, DEB!! SO STINKIN' GOOD. MOOOOOOOOOOOORE!!!

debbiel66 May 3 2011, 00:38:12 UTC

Hee! My first instinct was an enormous "oh no!" Did I misspell the title? ;)

So thrilled you like it! John is such a complicated character. He intimidates me like crazy, so I'm glad you think it works.

(Hey, did you watch the last couple episodes??? I am loving the brotherly interactions and am hoping you are too!)

geminigrl11 May 3 2011, 00:41:31 UTC

EEEP! Sorry! I was definitely not meant to be taken seriously (except for the MOOOORE part, because !!!!!). This is soooo amazing, all the little pieces you've pulled in and the dynamics with John and the other characters (esp. Sam \o/\o/). I cannot get enough. And of course the end is brilliant (as is the beginning and middle).

To reiterate: FLAIL!!

It's a relief that the boys are on the same page these days...I watched last week though not the Western.

debbiel66 May 3 2011, 00:44:06 UTC

Lol, I was peeking at comments at work and saw the typo thing and first thought was that I wouldn't be able to fix it until I got home. :)))

I adored the Western. I am so happy with the boys being so brotherly again.

I cannot even begin to decribe how profoundly awesome this is. One of the best I've read EVER and I read a lot ( ... )

debbiel66 May 3 2011, 00:48:04 UTC

This is such a lovely comment... I want to cut and paste it and put it somewhere so I can re-read it the next time I wonder why I write in the first place.

The characterization in this was honestly, really complicated. John's POV is a difficult place to hang out. I love John, but the way he sees his purpose and the way he sees his boys are always going to be at odds. The scene with Sam was especially tricky because I just see Sam as trying so hard but John is always going to be able to push his buttons.

Dean has a lot of issues to work out... as do they all.

Thank you for letting me know you would like more... it means a lot.
