Fic rec: Forever yours
Author: adaptation
The Ladies Jo
Reason: Three plausible and poignant missing-scene moments from Jo's perspective in seasons 3, 4, and 5. Author hasn't marked series as complete, but to my mind (particularly given where it ends) it reads as a complete, bittersweet story arc.
Rating: Teen
Spoilers: For Jo-centric episodes in seasons 2 through 4.
Word count: 3000
Pairings and other characters: Jo/Dean.
Warnings: Off-screen character death (as per canon).
Author’s summary: "Everything goes blurry and she doesn't know why until she feels the tickle of a tear sliding down her cheek." "There's always blood and dirt under her nails these days.", and "She hopes he doesn't regret the life he has. She wants to know that he's happy, if she's going to die tomorrow."
