Oh, wow. This just about broke my heart. But that scene at the end, with John holding Dean like that, kind of mended it.

Qui and Obi fics? *ears perk*

Not to be a douche, but I'm kinda glad it hurt you. Hurt me to write it. So I'm doing something right, I guess. :)

Ah, Qui and Obi. I've written hundreds of thousands of words with those two, mostly with Obi as a teenager. In this context I'm thinking specifically of "Candles Against the Sea" and "Priorities," two of my longer angst/hurt/comfort fics that are still quite popular, if my ff.n stats are anything to go by.

The difference between Qui/Obi and John/Dean, at least to me, is that my fanon Qui-Gon really does care. He just gets distracted/busy/too-much-of-a-Jedi to show it. (Other people have different views, of course--"Qui-Gon the Buckethead" I think is the phrase.) John, though, I think really is too distant. He loves his boys dearly, no doubt about it, would die for them, DOES die for them, but he's no good at LIVING for them. So that's a whole different dynamic for me to try to capture, try to fix, in my odd little stories.

That was absolutely lovely. I wanted to cheer out loud when John told Dean he'd stay. I like the idea of Dean so rarely asking for anything of his father, that when he does, John simply can't say no to him. And feverish!Dean, no matter what age, is just so adorable!

Thanks! :D And heck yeah, he's adorable. I had this image so clear in my mind, of this little in a baggy t-shirt and shorts, hair all over the place, feet bare, and I don't know if I managed to get it across, but it's very endearing.

I like to think that John's Kryptonite is Dean.
