Oh I've said nothing about posting shit like this on a Monday when I have to work? Well I have now cut it out. It's distracting. ;)

Your FACE is distracting.

Yays! Hope you enjoy it. :)

Two parts, so I'll comment twice. This is Made Of Awesome, Dragons - SO much Winchesterly goodness. And a number of turns of phrase that would have made me spit beverage onto the screen had I been foolish enough to be drinking something.

Onward to part 2! Excellent gift for a Monday morning.

HOMG, I hope you mean the phrases I MEANT to be funny. *hides face in couch cushions*

Thanks for reading, dude. :D

I'm only to the beginning of the second "stanza" (or whatever), and I see that use used a quote from NX.

HOW ARE YOU SO AWESOME?????

NX is, for my money, one of the best TV shows EVER. Like, Ever EVER.

*dies a little bit from the awesome of seeing a Chris in the Morning quote in the middle of an SPN fic*

LOL. Well, it seemed appropriate. Northern Exposure is definitely one of my alltime favorite shows. It's up there with Twin Peaks, Buffy and Firefly, for sure. :D

This line is pure gold:

found him wearing that cocksure expression forever borne of something needy behind the eyes.

The section that follows it is an astute assessment of John's thought process as well, I think. In some ways parenting is a balancing act between nurturing and inflicting damage, deliberate and otherwise--you can't develop protective calluses without injury and pain--and John lived in a world a degree of magnitude more dangerous than you and I.

“Cause here’s me sittin’ like a dick in that dive back in Tucumcari.”

Yay! You made him mention Tucumcari! That's about 50 miles from me. Right on the doorstep, really. We could pop over there for a drink or something. You know, if there was anything actually inTucumcari other than...actually I don't think Tucumcari's known for anything. Maybe John Winchester slept there?

pdragon76 July 1 2009, 05:50:21 UTC

Hey! Tucumcari has bars! Okay, maybe one bar. And it might be more of a grill. But I did check.

Heeee. John prolly slept there, yes. Plotting the many deaths of Victor Milo, no doubt.

Thanks for reading. :)

I already love it. I love John's Marine buddy having a crush on Dean's ability to kick ass. I love Sam being sulky and sick and mostly *right*, i love Dean being a sympathy puker and knowing about the t-shirt.

I kinda hate John for being a dick to Dean about not missing him. But i kinda love this story so i'll let it slide.

I kinda hate John for being a dick to Dean about not missing him.

I kinda think John's prolly right there with ya, somewhere beneath all that colossal fail at expressing himself effectively.

*pets the JDub*

Thanks for reading. :)
