I really felt with Sam here - it was obvious he didn't want to talk because he was embarrassed, but they left him no choice. I hate that!
John made me sad in this one by not knowing about Adam and his mom. He doesn't even know Sam and Dean know Adam existed. There's such a chasm between him and his boys.
Dean's fierce protectiveness continues to delight me!

The whole Adam thing is just so incredibly sad. :+( I wonder what Show will do with that, if anything...
Thanks so much for reading! :)

I really wonder what Show will do with Adam, too. One thing's pretty certain, though: John's never gonna know about it.

but oh man, that part where John asks about the ghouls... *shudder* That was heartbreaking and so intense.
Thanks for this! Love it so.

By the way, your drive 'verse was the inspiration for my attempting a verse at all. I have no attention span and can't usually follow WIPs, but yours was a notable exception. Made me hope it was possible.
I kept thinking the title was going to give it all away, but it doesn't seem to have. Silly me...
Thanks so much! &hearts

So good.
I adore your John in this. He's spot on. Exactly as I'd imagine him being coming back befuddled and out of the loop. Everyone is in such perfect character. I adored the reveal at the end. The line that made them all tear up. Um. Yeah.
I would so love to see JDM again. Sigh. This slow, wandering, and insightful interpretation of that happening is so rewarding to read.

This is so good to hear because it's exactly what I was worried about... that the roundabout way wouldn't be satisfying at all, compared to a more traditional plot pyramid...something I've never been particularly good at.
Thanks so much for your reassurance - totally encouraging! &hearts

As to your query. Yeah. I'm *supposed* to be working on something. Sigh. Been blocked of late. Haven't added a word. I signed up for a J2 Meant to Be challenge. It sounded like cheesy fun. The mods took old Harlequin romances and used the descriptions as prompts. I claimed one. Only 3K minimum. Easy as pie. Right.
I take this super simple plot and decide to give Jared Asperger's Syndrome. So now I'm flippin' researching for days on end, etc. I reached about 25K words on the beast. So it's a big bang and not a tiny challenge anymore. And, it's not done. The deadline is end of September. I'm down to the final chapter, I think. It's still a heavy duty romance. But it got, um, complex. :) Not to mention life mirroring art -- I had a plotline of a same-sex wedding in NY. And now, hey, it's legal!

Maybe, I'll have some inspiration. I'm a little muddled with the advent of season 7 approaching... how do you do a parallel AU? I know people do it, but they are far more clever than I am.
You amaze me that you can come with 25K just like that. I seriously don't know how you do it. But yay, you're finally inflicting woes on Jared again! It's been a while, hasn't it? ;)

Wait, there's a verse? My cup runneth over!
