I am SO happy you keep writing more of this verse. The way you write the brothers is just spot on. I hope you continue this. I'd love to see Bobby handle John. I can never get enough Bobby-and-his-boys stories :D

[mentholpixie]

I kind of want to see Bobby handle John too... we'll see. I'm trying to finish up all my abandoned stories at the moment because I'm just way too disorganized, but my muse writes what it wants when it wants so you just never know. :)

[strgazr04]

Well your muse hasn't disappointed me yet so I can deal with that :)

I must say how much this particular story is resonating with me. Growing up with a mentally ill/abusive parent is actually quite similar to growing up with an alcoholic. And yeah, I always thought it was my fault, that if I could be the daughter she wanted - things would be better. It was me. It had to be. Reading this, I just wish I'd had a Bobby. This is very well written. Thanks for doing it!

[mentholpixie]

I wish you'd had a Bobby too! I'm so sorry for what you've been through and I hope you've managed to heal and understand that none of it was your fault. *hugs*

MY BOYZ!!!! I love them...and you know i have a Sam hair!kink. YIIIS!

I had to go back and read "Whiskey" from the beginning again and i loved it just as much.

I like the way that you show that a lot of abuse is by "normal" people, who you would never expect to go that far, but add in righteous anger and alcohol and that's what you get...and that even before that night the boys were already suffering subtle abuse that just progressively got worse so they don't even realise what it is.

Gruff,no nonsense Bobby is just what they need.

Feel very very free to write more with embarrassed Sam and his stubbly hair *looks hopeful*

Thank you, hun!

You know, I think a lot of people have this idea in their heads that abuse comes from 'monsters' who are always cruel and angry and that you could probably spot them, but the truth is more complicated than that. People are more complicated than that. Of course, there are some unbelievably cruel people out there but a lot of perpetrators seem completely "normal", as you say.

I can't promise more on this, but considering this was originally meant to be a one-shot... well, you just never know. :)

I don't have any immediate plans to continue this but, seeing as it was originally meant as a one shot, it's possible an idea will come to me and I'll continue.

Thanks for reading and I'm thrilled you enjoyed this!

Have I told you before that I love you? Because I do. I really, really do. This 'verse has the perfect amount of angst without feeling unrealistic, you've captured the boys awesomely, and the idea of Bobby sat worrying over a plate of lasagne was just perfection <3

I have no more words! :)

[mentholpixie]

Aww thank you!!!
