Wow this was really well done and really really really sad. I almost made it without shedding a tear. Almost. When Dean had to admit to his foster parents that he didn't find his Dad when he went looking for him, that was so freaking sad. Good job. I'm looking forward to reading more!
Thank you. I was...concerned, because I've never tackled the boys at a younger age, and it's been a long time since I was 12...but I was, like I imagine Dean to be, too mature for the age, too used to having to do stuff for myself and used to looking out for my baby brother...
This series will not move as quickly as the previous ones, the pieces are going to be longer for one...and somehow they're more ouchy.
I have some of the ages mapped out already though...
Yeah, I like this so far - it's an interesting idea - and one I've thought about a lot. What if John went away and didn't come back, when they were still kids.
At least he left them a note - so he's not dead somewhere.
And I like that the boys are somewhere nice, with decent people. I'm looking forward to seeing where you go with this.
I haven't really decided if this is going to go in a linear fashion, particularly because the ending of the story is where my brain started the whole thing, and that bit is pushing to get written...but...yeah, it's going to get interesting.
oh owwww. poor boys. very well done... I totally got all sniffly when Dean had to tell the foster parents where he'd been because he'd just promised honesty, and it's Dean and promise. *sigh* Oh, Dean.
Also, I was reading through the other comments and I noticed you were worried about their behaviour being age-appropriate... I think you've got them down pretty well, and I work with kids.
