Being around in this fandom since the beginning of the show I often bemoan the fact there aren't a great number of well written gen fics anymore. So, when I saw this one I thought maybe all is not lost. I'm damned glad I stopped here and started reading this.

The voices of Bobby and John are sweet perfection. Reading their friendship grow over the years in your words was as if I were watching an episode of the show. Every scene etched into my brain in HD Technicolor. And although they've never told the entire story of Bobby and John's falling out I always suspected it was because of John telling Sam not to come back if he left for Stanford.

Thank you so much for coming back to this story and finishing it. But thank you even more for sharing it and giving me hope there are more stories of the gen variety to be told.

Wow, I am truly humbled. This was so very thoughtful and kind, and has not only made my night, but my next day too.
I agree with you whole-heartedly. Gen fic seems to be a dying breed and avid gen readers even more scarce, so I am so very grateful to have caught your attention.
I am so happy that you felt this was like watching an episode. Working within canon is one of my favorite ways to write; adding to and filling in the missing details...it's the reason I started writing after Season 5.
Thank you so much for this beautiful comment. I will happy to give you more Gen variety hope for as long as we have Show. :)

I'm so glad I made your night and day. I won't lie I do write slash, but as a writer I've also written gen and have never adhered to one type of fic. I've often taken heat over the years for bouncing back and forth from fellow fans and not only for that, but also because I refuse to pick a favorite character ( ... )

I read the Hell out of slash fic, but I've never written, although my friends try to peer pressure me into it. :) And I too, haven't written as much as I have in the past. I think for me, writing is a chance for me to puzzle out the questions that Show writers have left open. And these last couple of seasons, I haven't been inspired with as many burning questions as I was during Season 5 & 6. (I think this may change in season 9) So, I've spent a lot of time writing pre-series backstory. It's kind of my favorite.

I'm the same way. Gotta get my ideas out there before I'm Kripked by Show. :) I'm very excited about this coming season. I'll make sure and keep my eye out for your pre-season gen fic! :D

Thank you! I adore Bobby as well. I swear I was a mess when Bobby was killed off in the show. Although unlike so many I could actually see Bobby refusing to go with his reaper because of his love for the boys. In the end though his brain won the argument with his heart and he chose to have them release him.

Bobby Rules!
