Especially this: Boy’s fine, he tries to tell that fool again. John's voice throughout this entire story was just perfect, but that line in particular struck a chord with me.
I love your Dean. SO much. He's such a cocky messed up little bastard. And I love that John knows him and fucks up sometimes and sometimes he gets it right. Awesome, awesome, awesome.
You know, I remember my Dad saying this thing about my mom once. He said: We're all just trying to do the best we can with the resources we have.
And that reminds me SO much of JDub. Like, the guy tried. He did. But holy fuck, look what he had to work with. JDub gets such a reaming in fandom but sweet lord... *smacks kiss off his temple* You were screwed every way you turned, hon. I know.
Dragons, that was just wonderful - it kind of hurts, but still wonderful. I love all the little details, like John trying to convince himself Mary would be proud, Dean playing with the pen while working, the way he can still play pool like nobody's business even when he's plastered, and the racehorse piss (which, hah!).
Steal away, my dear. It's really quite an ordinary Aussie saying. Which means now someone will no doubt CURSE MY AUSSIE ASS for "Britishisms." And the irony of that will be lost on them, too, probably.
Parenting is a minefield, and John damn well knows it. Never let it be said that reading/listening to anybody think/talk about Dean doesn't thrill me and John weaving through the minefield is especially thrilling. Liked the reflection in the mirror, it never quite lets us get away with too much bullshit does it.
I love this. LOVE your writing, and John's train of thoughts. It's just like the John in my head (except in my head he wears MUCH less clothes), the kind of tough, twisted, tired, weary, caring, awesome bastard. The way of writing, the way you have details like the crowlines Mary will never touch, and the way he talks to himself in the mirror. Ah man. Love, dragonz. Memeing this.

Is the word "fucking" used the way we use 'damned'? Or as a verb. Cuz as a verb gerund thingy it would probably be more accurate. Ahem.
