You really have a way with the Winchester's characterizations! I just automatically believe ;-P It's also breaking my heart-ohhh Dean! But Papa Winchester-I just love how you've written him ;-P

I'm really pleased you've enjoyed my portrayal of John. That you "believe" makes me feel like I've accomplished my mission. Hopefully chapter 9 (just posted) will be equally satisfying.

Whew, all this chapter posting has been exhausting and I still have to post this to the 2 lj comms. I think I'm going to take a break from my computer for a bit though before doing so but I'll be back on in a while. Thanks for spending the afternoon with me and my story :)

I knew after reading the one story that you'd do John right. He's rough and gruff-but his heart is always in the right place. And most stories I've read don't get him right. Reading your portrayal of him here-seems right to me. And I think Dean as well-which for me makes this story a joy to follow. It's very smooth and I love it!

Aww, thanks so much for that kind praise. I'm glad you think I've captured John's range. He's no more an ogre than a teddybear to me but rather a complicated, deeply feeling man who has faced (and does face) the worst of horrors and is trying to deal with that and be a father all at once. And I just love Dean who may well be even more complicated than his father.

Thanks again!

having mary's voice join the others in john's head was brilliant. i definitely believe john felt connected to her all those years later. both dean and john's relief at seeing sam whole and happy were gorgeously written. and dean's subterfuge was perfect. he knows his dad too well. fantastic job writing the link between those two.

I'm thrilled that the moment when Mary's voice is revealed along with the others was a powerful one for you. Thank you for letting me know how much this chapter moved you. It was meant to and, of course, I'm always relieved to know if I've hit the intended spot ;)
