You suck. I've told you that, right? Right?

In the best way.

Sortof.

Oh John! You stupid, idiot SOB. Hitting out at Dean is not the way to resolve your issues!

My love for Bobby (particularly this one) is ever growing.

Wonderful, as always :)

Skweeeeee. Thanks. I heart Bobby mondo myself. Big heaping gulps of sheer lurve.

It's been a while since I've read a story that when it ended I actually felt a little depressed. I cannot even begin to express how frickin' amazing this story is (and it's probably too late to form coherent thoughts). Can't wait for the next part.

Yeah, as I've said to others, you have to fall to get back up. I found that I was very depressed at the end of Dazzleland, and told myself that I wasn't going to do that again. But I do work as closely within canon as I can, so I'm kinda stuck in some ways. But, not all ways.

Mean. That. Way.

We’re okay. We’re doing okay, aren’t we?
Man, these phone calls are just killer.

Their eyes met, and for the first time in his life, Dean recognized the extent of the misery he saw there, felt it bone-deep, like a big bell had been rung.
This is such a killer line.

That he wasn’t invisible after all.
OMG. I... just... oh, the PAIN.

I didn't realize until I read this again that this whole thing with the plane was probably just another way that John was trying to goad Dean into doing something, anything, responding in any way. These two are all manner of screwed up, aren't they?

Stop him, oh dear god, stop him.
He is so afraid of losing both his boys, and has no idea how to deal with it. I bet he misses Mary more than ever in these moments, though even she might not know what to do with their boys.

While this is certainly possible, I was feeling like John just couldn't believe that humans would be so evil, that if it was supernatural, he could control it. Like he couldn't control Sam; John's life is spiralling away from him and he's just grasping at straws. He DOES want Dean to react -- goading him all the time. I think the plane cuts both ways.

Oh, I definitely agree on that John is trying to quantify. It wasn't until I finished this section that I put together just what was going on with that plane. It casts it all in a new light, gives it a deeper resonance. And yes, it is so much more about John than it is about Dean.

John's life is bleeding out, no doubt about that.
