Gah, this is wonderful. Really haunting.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it :D

Nothing was missing, he writes, then strikes it out.

That's where my heart clutched and stuttered, and I spent the rest of the story breathless.

Even though the reader knows so much more than John, you've created this crushing air of dread and menace, so that every threat feels total and unknown. Fear of the dark, even though we know exactly what's in the dark.

I'm pretty damn speechless at this; it's easily one of the best stories I've ever read, let alone fanfics. It's haunting and wonderful and terrible and you're amazing.

[angstslashhope]

YOU'RE amazing.

Though seriously dude, thank you for the feedback. I am extremely glad that this worked for you, I um, might have had a little bit of anxiety on that front.

This is amazing, especially the last image, John burying the silver. It's surprisingly gentle, considering how gut-wrenching the whole situation is.

I loved that even though there was no real contact, still, they had the exchange of journals, as if John will have something of Sam and Dean's (that he gave to them), and they'll have something of his.

Beautuful. Poor John.

Oh. This was - thank you, thank you, thank you for pointing this out! Because I wouldn't have wanted to miss out on it any longer.

John trailing them, well yes - he would, everything he's doing, he's doing for (Mary and) his boys. Well, in a kinda obsessive, mission, batman/sarah connor kinda way.
And his denial at what the evidence is suggesting, looking instead for what would take them away? *winces*
Aww.

Man, words not working properly. This? Was absorbing, a little doom-y, suspenseful in the moving-characterisation kinda way, and an excellent late-late night treat.
(5am? Ok, I possibly should have left this til the morning/when I wake up, but - awww! I'm so yay!)

And I knew they'd rescue John when he got all lost and things. *sniffa*
Passing in the night, though, no goodbyes, just "I'm sorry".
Better though, to know, rather than just - gone.
Ok, sleep now. And that's again for the pointer!
;)

[angstslashhope]

Yay! I'm so glad you liked this one :D

John was really tricky to write (emotionally unvailable, much?) so I'm really happy that it all came together and worked as John in the end.

*yayes*

One of the best Supernatural fic i've read so far...and the most heartbreaking to boot,...*sobs*...i've already read the first one where both Sam and Dean turned into wares, and that one leaves a bittersweet feeling from start till end, making me both smile like a lovestruck loon and cry like a big baby at how far Sammy are willing to go through for Dean,...*sniffles*...and this sequel just done it in for me, i just can't stop myself from sobbing at how much tragedy poor John had to go through, first loosing his beloved Mary, and then his two precious sons turns into the very monsters that he's been training them to hunt down since they both were little kids, mannnn that is just fuck up dude,....*shakes-head

Thank you for the lovely feedback!! I'm really glad you enjoyed this, and the fact that I can't seem to really write anything that's truly cheerful :D

I'm definitely writing more Supernatural fic, hopefully soon!!

Thanks again :)
