Ok, yup that was pretty dark, but still so poignant. John's longing for what they never really had comes through solidly as does his regret. Very nicely done.

Well, I can't go around writing fluffy de-aged fic and not follow up with something like this. I got a reputation to lose ^^

I'm so glad John's emotions came through. I randomly had the hardest time grasping his character all of a sudden (and the weird part is that at the same time I was writing another fic from his POV and I had no problems with him whatsoever)

Well, it's a well-documented fact that I'm obsessed with that Impala comment and since I already had one fic in which Sam tries to be nice about it I figured it was John's term...only, he sucks worse at it than Sam does.

And yes, the shtriga. I felt like that would be a topic that Dean would at least *try* to bring up - you know, unlike Lawrence or the heart failure thing - but I can't see him quite go through with it without John taking the initiative.

And uhm....John and the boys in that diner amused me for some reason, soI wrote it *shrugs*

What a perfect collection of moments we never saw in the show--I believe every one of them! I love how you captured John's inner struggle over saying something 'soft' and not being able to...so sad, and I think that is really true to the character.

Wow, I'm so glad all those emotions came through. I was really worried about my John voice for this one. Which is weird, because usually I'm really comfortable writing him. *shrugs*

Communication. Lets the Winchesters down every time.

I wish we'd seen more of the boys with John in the show, but this made up for that a little bit!

Ah, communication is overrated. Can't you see? They're doing awesome without it.

Ooh this was so tense during the first half, and I could just feel John's tiredness and his inability to say the nice things he wanted to say... very, very well done, even just the littlest details like the skin mags stolen from Caleb... great!

You can't even begin to imagine how glad I am you said that. I had the hardest time getting into John's head for this one. No idea why...*scratches head*

Well, I couldn't tell. It came across perfectly.
