Thank you very much for the add to favorites. That's always a nice spot to be placed, so I really appreciate it. I definitely plan on continuing to write more...just gotta find that time. ;)

Oh Dean, it's sad how much you occupy my daily thoughts. And this? This helping Sam and loving him and caring for him even though you didn't always get that?

<3 Dean to infinity...and you for writing this ^^.

Oh Dean, it's sad how much you occupy my daily thoughts.

I think you're in good company on that one. *looks around at majority of fandom* See? You're not alone. ;)

Thank you very much for the kind feedback. I really appreciate it. :)

Oh, Dean. You poor baby. Oh, Dean... My heart just broke reading that.

Oh, I'm so sorry. I knew this prompt was going to be a sad one...it was actually painful writing it at times, just trying to get into his head to reach that level of low self-esteem.

Thank you, though, for the feedback. Your icon fits perfectly. :)

Hi, PIXEL!!! :)) Another newbie fic from you is ALWAYS a good thing!

Girl, you continue to astound me with your incredible fics! There are periods when I'm in an emotional state, but today was not one of them. But, man, did you manage to make me choke up with this one. OMG, I hated John in this one, and I guess it resonated with me because my father did the same thing with me. He always used to say, "You wanna cry? I'll give you something to cry about!" I want to say that I resent that, but in some ways I don't, because it made me stronger and not a crybaby, which is actually something i detest in other people. Anyway! I know that's how Dean turned out, but he still aches for that hurty little boy that he was, and he makes up for it by "saving" Sam. Wahhh! *heart wibbles and melts*

Hey you! Long time no see! Life's been busy here, how are things going for you?

OMG, I hated John in this one, and I guess it resonated with me because my father did the same thing with me. He always used to say, "You wanna cry? I'll give you something to cry about!" I want to say that I resent that, but in some ways I don't, because it made me stronger and not a crybaby, which is actually something i detest in other people.

Ditto completely. My dad did the same thing. Granted, I'm more apt to just suck it up now and not cry over the little things, but it really ticked me off when I was just a kid and I had scraped my knee. So, yeah, John hit a nerve wtih me too. I don't want to go off on the whole "he's a bad father" rant because I really don't think he is...I just think he had some moments when he could've been a little bit nicer and realized his kids were just...kids.

*helps put heart back together*

Ahhhh, I'm doing all right. Still on the job hunt and trying to stay cool. And still reading lots of SPN fanfic. It's a terrible addiction, I tell you! ;)

You know, it's complicated with John. I don't think he's a bad father, either, and he was thrust into playing the mother/father roles to his two young sons, which would be an overwhelming responsibility for anyone. In the pilot we see that he was a loving father, even if just for a few moments. But I vacillate between liking him and not liking him because we see the obvious effects of his behavior on his sons. I guess he's what we'd call a flawed character. ;) Which makes for good telly!

Good luck with the job hunt! I know it's really difficult right now; I have a few friends who are looking, too. Hee. Yeah, that SPN fanfic will suck you right in...makes looking for a job so much less appealing. ;)

I don't think he's a bad father, either, and he was thrust into playing the mother/father roles to his two young sons, which would be an overwhelming responsibility for anyone.

Oh definitely. And it's not like he got to the mother/father role by any happy circumstances. He just had his wife taken from him in one of the worst ways imaginable. Undoubtedly, it'd wreak havoc on a person's psyche.

In the pilot we see that he was a loving father, even if just for a few moments.

I think he still is a loving father...he just has different ways of showing it, perhaps. Maybe after what happened to Mary, he learned that he needed to be strong enough to deal with everything that life had thrown at him. But, I should probably stop rambling. John is a character I could discuss all night and then some. ;)
