He makes Anton Chigurh look WHAT??? Bloody hell...
By the way, I noticed something in your story that's become a bit of a running theme in 'Supernatural'. It's that people who the Winchesters don't know are pretty much worthless and disposable, and that it's OK to just sacrifice their lives like they're throwing away an empty beer can instead of a human being. They're never called out on it and it's something I find very upsetting. I've read stories that actually excuse that mentality. I'm not criticising you, I just wanted to point that out.
Which story are you referring to? I agree with you ... it is a theme in SPN that people who aren't the Winchesters are disposable. It is one of my greatest peeves with them ... that they can't be bothered to even TRY to exorcise a demon anymore. Just gank 'em and move along, and screw whatever innocent person might have been the vessel possessed and capable of being saved if they cared enough to even try any more.
But I'm unclear where you're seeing that reflected in my story? If you're thinking of The Unspoken, the only non-Winchester in there is the YED, and I'm okay with them not losing any sleep over his fate. Are you referring to another story, perhaps? I'm always interested in honest feedback. If there's a story where you feel I've treated someone as disposable, point it out and I'll tell you what I was thinking ... or maybe agree with you that it's a misstep I overlooked in the writing!
Ah! Okay. I know what you're referring to now. The point of that statement --- and remember, it is from John's perspective, not necessarily mine :D --- is not that either John or Dean would value an innocent person's life less than Jo's. Rather, it is John saying that the REAL Dean (as compared to the YED masquerading as Dean) would have killed Sam to keep Sam from having to live with killing someone he loved (ie: Jo

It's not just possessed people - it's characters that people know and love (the Harvelles, Bobby, Kevin and Charlie to name a few).
