Oh my. I love this so much. Your John voice is wonderful. He's not perfect, and he's not awful. He's a human being and you've done a very good job of showing that. And allow me to count the ways I love Dean's "standing up to John" he's so adorably awesome. I like the detail that the only times Dean stands up to John, it involves Sam. <333

Very much looking forward to future installments! Great job with this.

Thank-you, I'm so glad chapter 1 grabbed your attention. "Human" John is the portrayal I'm after, both the ass and the hero Dean referred to last season. I just love the man, if not all the decisions/choices he's made.

I'm hoping to have ch 2 loaded tonight or tomorrow at the latest. In the meantime, if I may be so bold, I invite you to check out "All Told" posted on Sunday, in which I try, through Bobby and Dean, to address more of John's humanity.

Thanks again!

I do have a confession to make. I read that this was posted in it's entirety on ff.n, so I stayed up well into the wee hours of the morning last night reading the entire fic. XD

I couldn't *stop* myself if I'd tried. But I will continue to follow along here as you post is and leave you more comments, cause my brain's still on overload from all the awesome. <333

And I would *definitely* be more than willing to read more of your stuff. *skips off to find it*

[may7fic]

LOL, trust me, I'd've been heading on over to ff.net too if I knew a fic that interested me was completed over there! I do appreciate your intention to send individual feedback - that's really sweet of you.

This is a fabulous start! Looking forward to more. :)

[may7fic]

Thanks! More to come tonight or tomorrow at the latest :)

I liked this a lot. I went ahead and read the whole thing at FF, since you'd told us it was there (and thanks for that, BTW). You did a great job of protraying both John and Dean's pain (mental for John, physical for Dean). Your descriptions of Dean's painful head was so vivid, it seemed very real.

As to that trip to Stanford, even though I knew it was canon that Sam didn't know that John and Dean had been checking up on him, I still expected that they would have an actual meeting with Sammy. It wasn't until maybe the paragraph before Dean freaked at the prospect of John fetching Sam that I knew what Dean's intentions were.

I guess I was thinking that with Dean in such bad shape, John would have to "bring Sam to Dean". So it was fortuitous, wasn't it, that the students happened to be having that outdoor party? ;-)

[may7fic]

Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad my treatment of Dean and his injury felt realistic. I'm delighted you enjoyed the whole story. Thanks for reading.

Oh. I just have no words for how awesome this was! I can't wait for the next chapter!!!
*Hugs*

[may7fic]

Sending *hugs* back by way of chapter 2 being posted :).
I really hope the rest of the story lives up to your enthusiasm. Thanks a bunch!

[moondropz]

*Squeals* yay! I cannot wait!!! Thanks so much!!!
*Hugs*

Hi! I can't begin to tell you how much I adored this fic. I first read it on FF.net, and sent you an e-mail via your website, but don't know if you ever got it. This was just brilliant, and one of the most compelling depictions of John and Dean's relationship I've ever read. Thanks so much for writing it. Would you mind terribly if I friended you, so I can catch your postings? :)

[may7fic]

Thank-you for the lovely feedback and also for letting me know about the email you sent from my website. Yikes, it dawned on me that the email addy you would've used has been inactive since November!! I'll have to try to remedy that this weekend.

I'm really pleased my portrayal of father and son here struck a chord with you and yes, by all means, please feel free to friend me. I'm truly flattered.

Thanks so much again!

[hucknclem]

LOL - probably just as well you didn't get that email; there was a lot of squeeing and incoherent gushing and it might very well have scared the hell out of you! But I meant every word of it - I'm gonna rec this one to my friends, too (unless you have objections). Thanks again for the entertainment. *Sighs happily* :)

[may7fic]

LOL, I'm so pleased you feel the story is gush-worthy and please do pass a rec along to your friends. I'd be ever so grateful. Being a newbie to lj, the story isn't getting much attention over here (yet, I hope) and though I'm not a feedback glutton, I'd love to hear what people think who may not have already read it over at ff.net. Same with "All Told", my first fic.

Over all, the response has been great though and I'm touched and thrilled that readers are recommending it to others.

Thanks again!
