SPN FIC - Only a Fool Chooses the Truth

Jul 19, 2013 15:54

Chances are, this all won't end well -- God knows, it never does.  And if that's so, Dean figures he ought to tell Sam something about their dad, and a long-ago tumble down the stairs.

The title comes from this:
"When a man has to choose between his father and the truth, only a fool chooses the truth."

It hurts, sometimes: that Sam never knew the ( Read more... )

Ah, Carol, this was awesome. Way to go, making me cry at work. :)

I love John, I miss John, I want John back, more so than ever. I love these little remembrances of Dean about his father. Very touching that he related this memory to Sam and to so kindly tell Sam to stow it all. To remind him that after all the crap, their dad was really a good guy. That he loved his boys more than life itself, and that he would have done anything for them. I loved this. Thanks.

Me too. I so want that man back! I guess that's why I write preseries fic so much. We only had him for such a short time in show.

I'm sure a LOT of folks would appreciate seeing him come back! *sends vibes out to the West Coast*

It's kinda funny. Everyone always says that no one is ever dead on Supernatural, cuz they will always find a way to bring someone back. I just have to add to that....."except for John Winchester." Given as to the negative way John has been written that past several seasons, I have my doubts that they ever want to bring him back, despite our pleadings and even comments from JDM himself.

We did only have John and short time, and I think we deserve to have more of him. Which is why I love fics so much. I have only read a couple of your fics, and have your John fics all bookmarked and will read soon. I look forward to reading them.

This is why I loved John. He was such a complex character, and you get that just from the way Sam & Dean talk about him. For all the bitterness and anger between them, John had to fiercely love those boys - and it HAD to show sometimes - or else Dean wouldn't have been so loyal, and Sam wouldn't have cared so deeply one way or the other.

And you made it a believable moment, too. Not some episode where John comes off as a saintly Father of the Year, but just something that shows how much he treasured them. Nicely done.

I know a couple of men who are very tender and loving with their children - while John might not be quite *that* hands-on, I could see him panicking at the sight of wee!Dean falling down the stairs, and being very gentle until he was sure Dean was all right. Definitely a complex guy!

Glad you enjoyed the fic!
