I like the interaction between the boys and the trick Sam plays to stay with Dean. I can so easily hear their voices in this.

I also like the "no apologies" attitude you give John (although your John might be a little harder than mine :-) ).

Nice little moment for them. Thanks for sharing :-)

Thank you! I'm happy you could "hear their voices", it was my first time at writing the boys as teenagers. As for John, we all have "our" John! I haven't written a lot of John (it was my first try at his POV), but mine is definitely rough around the edges.

I like how you fleshed them out with true character voices here. However, I submit that John is unlikely to refer to his oldest child as stupid (re para 3), but perhaps it is meant to infer on his mental state due to exhaustion. YMMV.

Lovely stuff.

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! It was a lot of "firsts" for me: firt time at writing teenchester, first time at writing from John's POV.

I see what you mean about the "stupid"; it was supposed to convey John's mix of annoyance and worry, but I'm not a native speaker, so sometimes the words I use don't convey exactly what I want them to convey :)

Although you are not a native speaker, your crafting of the fic is perfectly lovely.

Do keep writing; I look forward to seeing your name in the community newsletter.

Well, it was written for sick/hurt Dean comment fic meme, so being mean to Dean was kind of a given :D I'm glad you liked it, thanks for reading and commenting!

I love Sam turning on the waterworks so he can stay and look after Dean. Also, I think John underestimates just how freaking terrifying he is to others.
