Thank ya muchly!

My God, that's MARVELLOUS. And I haven't read the companion-piece yet - it was fabulous getting to see the Winchesters from this POV. Jolly good job, mate! (And 'No Shame. No Shame At All' beats the living shit out of 'Rebel With A Cause' - the former is evocative of character, and yet the meaning does a total 180 by the end of the story. The latter is not much more than a cliche, and packs much less of a punch. imho. ymmv.)

Okay, wow, subsequent to reading this lovely piece I have been working my way gradually through your back-catalogue and I can conclusively state that you win at the internets. That is all.

::flails::

Also, you made me cry.

:D

Thanks so much. (and sorry about making you cry ... okay, not really. LOL)

Thanks so much for the feedback, both on the story and the title. In some ways, I think this might be a stronger read to read this first and FAILURE second just so you don't really know what's going on when you're experiencing the Winchesters from Mrs. Petersen's POV.

Oh, Dean... and John...and just...

Guh...

This is brilliantly written, and just so incredibly poignant. I read the other fic first, and probably because of that really disliked Mrs Petersen at first, because of her condescending assumptions about John and Dean, but to be fair, to the outsider they were completely understandable assumptions, and I loved how you gradually turned her viewpoint around through the fic.

Lovely stuff, as always. :-)

dodger_winslow April 17 2009, 04:42:43 UTC

Thanks! I've always wanted to play with the idea of someone assuming the worst of John and never getting that assumption proved out wrong, yet still getting the feeling that there was so much more to what she saw than what she could see ...

Oh.

So very good.

dodger_winslow April 17 2009, 04:43:30 UTC

Thanks! :D

I re-read "Failure is not an Option" last night, but this totally works as a stand alone story.

I loved Mrs. Petersen's interactions with both John and Dean, and I felt that her interpretations of what she was seeing were totally accurate.

Thanks for starting Tax day off with a bang!

Anything I can do to make Tax day less stressy is well worth doing. Glad you liked it.
