Supernatural gen ficlet - Not in Kansas Anymore

[eloise_bright]

Okay, on the advice of lonelybrit I decided to write some Supernatural Daddy angst. The bunnies were screaming at me, and I needed to get this down, so I can get on with my other fics. I've only seen up to "Something Wicked", and I'm unspoiled, so this could be jossed/kripked in later eps

I liked this a lot. And I can't wait for you to see the last few episodes. :) Not saying any more than that.

Thanks - I am literally bouncing to see the last eps. And trying so desperately not to be spoiled. *g*

!!!!

I knew you'd be good at writing SPN :) Just, ohhhh. *grins happily*

But, um, the only thing I would say is that remember Mary died when Sam was 6 months old? So the line about her bringing him home from school is not quite right. But LOVE. *hugs tightly*

That was sort of the point - this was John imagining how it would have been if Mary hadn't died. And trying to pretend to himself that he would have treated Dean just the same if Mary had never been killed, and they'd never gone 'hunting'.

And the final bit is John realising that he'd lying to himself - he'd never have left his kids alone the way he did if their life had been normal.

I kind of hoped I'd hinted at that in the whole "Not in Kansas Anymore" reference - the idea of them going 'over the rainbow'.

I have a habit of being a bit obtuse. Sorry *g*

I added this to the Notes for the fic, because now I'm paranoid that people will think I got the timeline wrong. *is not really incredibly anal about her fic*

*hits self over head*

I really shouldn't be allowed on the internet when I'm this tired, I've already made about a billion mistakes today! It makes *perfect* sense when you put it that way, and I apologise profusely for being dumb :)

Anyway, hoping you write some more (which I will read *carefully*), and enjoy the rest of the season. *hugs*

*Hugs...*

Thank you. The daddy angst in this show hearts my heart, dude. I'm thinking of making a Wesley Wyndam-Pryce woobiefication scale - and scoring various characters on their daddy angst.

At the moment, Dean's a 7 or 8. *g*

[eloise_bright]

Thank you. I'm completely sucked into their story. *g*

[eloise_bright]

Thank you! I was a bit nervous about this, not knowing what happens later in the series, but I wondered about that line of Dean's , and whether John looked at him for the reasons that Dean believed he did.

He did make two wonderful men. *sigh*
