Monday - Hurt/Comfort

Jan 04, 2010 07:37

Hello everyone!! I'm johnboy91719 and I'm here to guest host the first full week of comment fic for the new year!

To start off this week, I'm going with something that fits my mood after having had four days off work and having to go back. So, we'll do some hurt/comfort today. This can be anything from one character being severely injured to a minor injury to ( Read more... )

SPN/author's choice, Dean/anyone, someone finds Dean beaten and bloody after a hunt

Filled! John POV, S1 ginzai January 4 2010, 15:16:37 UTC

"Dad, Dean's gone missing."

Dean was a goddamn idiot. It probably wasn't the kindest sentiment to feel when the boy was nine shades of banged up, blood puddling down his neck from one ear and a goose egg the size of John's fist tucked up behind the other, but hell if he had other words for his son right at the moment.

A series of voicemails from Sam had put John on this hunt. The first had been just as pissed and surly as ever, with barely a hint of the fear that would come with the later ones.

"I got the creature. Cold salted iron took it down and I burned it after but I can't find Dean. It took him and I can't find him. You need to come help me find him.He might have ignored it. Had ignored ones before with equally dire messages. He'd put aside his own panic when Sam had called to tell him about the rawhide, had refused to panic when Dean had been dying. But he'd been able to track his boys' progress that time, had been able to make sure they'd make their way to someone who could help a hell of a lot more than John ( ... )

Great fic. I can't help but detect a slight grudging from John in having to go get Dean (once he knows he's alive, if not well, and will recover).

Re: Filled! John POV, S1 ginzai January 4 2010, 19:10:13 UTC

I'm glad you liked it and thanks for commenting! I think John is less resentful and more very, very skilled at covering up his worry with anger. Anger's the more productive emotion and all. Fear and concern, especially since this is set in S1 and he feels he can't stick around, wouldn't help him. Or so he thinks. The Winchesters are many things, but emotionally available is usually not one of them... :D

No kidding! :)

Dean toppled forward at his tug, all dead weight crumbling over John's shoulders. He grunted when he stood, a fireman's carry significantly more difficult now that he was on the wrong side of fifty. Dean might not outweigh him, just over an inch short and probably more than fifteen pounds shy, but he was a grown man, tall and healthy, and John's back twinged angrily at him as he got his feet in place and staggered upright.

"Dad, please."His walk of shame out of the cave was no easier than it had been when Dean was sixteen and torn up by a werewolf's claws and just enough blood left in him to pink his cheeks at the indignity of having to be carried out to safety. No easier than when it had been Sam, a gangling teen with legs too long for him to know what to do with and more righteous anger than common sense, pale faced and stumbling with the concussion that had nearly broken his jaw. He'd shut up for three weeks after that incident and John had never been so grateful to hear his youngest bitching at him again when he'd finally ( ... )

Oh, wow (and I know I feel like a heel). This was awesome, but reading it really hurt (especially push his child into the front seat, that last bit with Sam's message and him having to leave the ER without really really knowing that Dean's ok)

Re: Filled! John POV, S2 ginzai January 4 2010, 20:19:46 UTC

Aw, thanks again! (Why do you feel like a heel though?) It's not the most feel-good of stories, but it's a compliment that it had an impact on you.

And yeah, John's life sucks and he never quite manages to make it less difficult for himself. If he'd told Sam or stuck around to make sure Dean was okay, I think all three of them would have been a lot happier, but that would be doing things the easy way... :D

Cos I thought bad of John and now I feel guilty for doing so. Argh! *is conflicted* heh heh you are awesome though.

Re: Filled! John POV, S2 tresa_cho January 4 2010, 21:15:24 UTC

Awww boys. <3

Re: Filled! John POV, S2 ginzai January 5 2010, 05:35:32 UTC

They've got their issues, don't they? Thanks for the comment! :)

Re: Filled! John POV, S2 johnboy91719 January 5 2010, 04:19:18 UTC

Wow. Just wow. This is amazing, and I feel honored that you wrote it for me. Thanks so much!

Re: Filled! John POV, S2 ginzai January 5 2010, 05:34:57 UTC

It was my pleasure! Thanks for the nifty prompt and my apologies - I didn't notice that it was supposed to be a crossover until after I'd already posted. :)

Re: Filled! John POV, S2 johnboy91719 January 6 2010, 04:17:48 UTC

Meh. No worries. I almost think including a different fandom in there would have ruined this. This is perfect just how it is. <3
