Supernatural: These Small Hours (John's War Remix)
Original Fic: These Small Hours, by maharetr
Remix: These Small Hours (John's War Remix) [John/Mary, 100 Words, Rated PG-13] by emmademarais
There are things he won't talk about.
Old scars carve into his new life. John's battle lingers, festers, hidden behind a pirate chasing a squealing four-year-old sea monster, but Mary knows.
She wraps herself around him, offering herself as sweet respite.
But wars don't end, not on the inside.
Whiskey helps. When Mary joins him at 2AM in quiet solidarity, a flush of love and aching gratitude warms him more than alcohol's burn ever has.
He tries, for her.
"I don't want him to be eighteen and doing what I..."
But there are things he can't talk about.
