SPN gen fic - Family Business - PG13

Once again I have failed at spn_halloween. I started my story, but it refused to be written. I'm hoping that it might be finished by next Halloween. I'm so very, very sorry

Thanks. John's kid. Who else's could he be? *grins*

Yay! You're writing again!!

And whoa! Cool story!

[eloise_bright]

Thanks. This felt good, because I wasn't overthinking every single word. I keep my fingers crossed the writing will be a bit easier now.

OMG! I wanted this fic so bad, because when she was describing Ben's dad I was sooo muttering to myself John. Love it, Dean's just kills me with the funny-we're not gay, and the sad-following in the family business.

[eloise_bright]

Thanks. I think a lot of John girls were muttering to themselves that John must have been Ben's dad. *nods*

It's not too sad about the family business, honestly. They're both kind of proud of their wee brother.

Oh, this definitely made me smile. It's late so I'm a little slow but my mind was spinning, trying to process what was going on and I couldn't have been more wrong. First I read "gentle" and thought it had to be Ben, then Sam's "Jesus Christ" reaction made me think of John, but no that couldn't be right (LOL). Then, it *was* Ben, so that meant Dean's son saved him (awwww) but, *wrong again!*... what an utterly delightful twist. Baby brother a fireman and coming to Dean's rescue (awwww again). Just perfect. Thank-you!

Thanks. I did think about how this would read, and I didn't want to give everything away too early on. I imagined Sam would look at Ben and see a young version of John, so you weren't too far off. I recently found an old photograph of my great great grandfather - when he was about thirty, and it was like looking back at my father when I was a kid. It made me realize how strong the genes for appearance can be. I wanted Ben to look like a younger version of John, with a little of Sam and Dean mixed in.

I think Sam recognized him as John's kid before Dean did - he was still convinced Ben was his. Baby brother Ben as a fireman was basically irresistable.

You really did a wonderful job setting it up. Setting *us* up (g). This story still makes me smile hours later! Thanks!

Heh. Sam's the Problem Middle Child. Oh, Dean. The Family Business... I'm with Dean on this, just way to tear a heart out. :P

Beautiful and great and Thank you for sharing it!!

[eloise_bright]

Thanks. Love Sammy as the middle child. And yeah, it does make your heart ache a little. *g*
