I feel like I haven't read SPN fic in FOREVER because I'm behind on the episodes and most of the fic posted have spoilers for what I haven't seen yet... So this popped up and a) it was you and b) no spoilers, yay!

I really loved the idea of this, even if the ending was so painful, imagining Dean, who probably remembers how much he idolized his father, having to keep relearning that John's gone, always grieving because he never remembers longer to get beyond it.

This was great, sweetie!

Hey girlie! We're in the same boat because I too am not current on episodes and I haven't written fic in ages!

So glad you read and liked, thanks so much for the kind words! :-)

OH.MY.GOD! I so loved what you did with this, and, creepy fact: i almost put "like Memento" at the end of the prompt request. And the last line. "Dad is gone. Don't believe his lies." I so hurt fro Dean, thank you so much for writing this.

Oh yay! I'm so glad you liked this - and that you were even hoping for a Memento-influenced fic! :-)

Wow, really great job with this prompt! I can just imagine how confused and betrayed dean would feel, every twenty minutes, ouch.

Fic. You. Fic. You. Two things I love, combined into the sentence Fic by You... equals so much \o/ !!!! This bit of Memento-tinged SPN is beautifully written, babe. It's great to read your writing again. :)

ha ha - i just left a gushing comment about your writing on your SPN fic, so rest assured the feeling is totally mutual!

i can't tell you what a big smile your words left on my face, especially after recently resigning to the fact that i would probably never write again. it's amazing what a little sunshine can do!
