Reccer's notes: Okay, so it's no secret that I don't have a thing for John. At all. But every once in a while a fic comes along that crawls into his head so well that I'm temped to almost kinda like him. Out of those, this is my favorite.
[Short excerpt]John flicks at the stubble beneath his jaw and sniffs, lifts his whiskey glass until the deep malted scent overpowers the aroma of stale beer and cigarette smoke. He thinks back to the quiet clack of the door locking when Dean claimed first shower at the motel. Kid’s developing a nasty propensity for licking his own wounds, and in this business it’s a bad habit. John’s got plenty to say about it, but that conversation’s got trip-wires and he’s never been a man to defuse a bomb with his face. So, he scratches at his jaw and drinks his whiskey and doesn’t say anything.
He knows a way or two around his son.
