torn as usual between the fear of just what his dad wanted to teach and his own ever present curiosity, had nodded his head, feeling nervous and excited all at once. I loved this, John's pride as well and then it all went pear shaped with John ceasing to be fatherly, no wonder Sam left.
:-D I really enjoy exploring the possibilities of how things all came apart for the Winchesters. Sam and Dean both are fabulous characters, so he had to have been doing something right (although lord did he leave those boys with issues, too)!
John in canon strikes me as incredibly complicated. Sometimes in fandom, writers focus on just one side, or what they 'perceive' to be one side of the boy's dad, often making him into a real jerk. I wanted to make sure I didn't fall into that.
He is hugely flawed, absolutely, but he's not cruel. He's fractured, and has no one else to give him a different perspective, which allows him to get scope locked on making sure his boys will survive no matter what. I think he's a grieving man who'll do anything to protect his children, and the older Sam gets, the less able he feels to do his job.
Oh, this is brilliant! I'm still pretty new to SPN, so some of the intricacies of this have probably gone over my head, but I still love what you have so far. I love how Sam memorized that annoying guy's credit card number. That'll teach him. ;-) I also love the back and forth between the brothers and how Dean won't let Sam get away with hiding things from him even though he's not so into the sharing thing himself. You're such a gifted writer, and I've long adored your style. Just letting you know I'll be following along and am eagerly awaiting the next installment! :-)
I'm glad you like this so far! I'm especially thrilled to hear the banter is working for you. The dynamics between the two brothers is what I adore, and is so essential to good SPN fic.
I know it started out a little slow, but really, there is plot involved, and things will happen. *g* Thank you so much for commenting!!! :-D

I came here from you ff.net account in the hopes of finding atlb chapters stashed away. I know it's slow in coming, but is there any chance of an update soon? Chapter 8 made me cry and it's been a long time since a fic could do that to me. I just hope it's not abandoned.
In other news, I'm glad I came here, because I am liking this fic, having just started watching supernatural. Keep up the good work!
