Broken Promises
Broken Promises
1.20, 2.10
The friction between them starts early. They're both too strong to be in the same place, and while Dean will happily defer, submit, anything for his father's approval; Sam can only ask why. Why are we never safe? Why salt on the threshold? Why do you abandon us? Why isn't protecting us enough? John can only leave his answers empty and hope he finds out for himself.
As John learns and searches, discovering what's planned for Sammy, he knows his promise to Mary to protect her Sammy was going to be the hardest promise he would ever have to break.
AN: I can't even think what was going through John's head when he made that decision. You have to assume that if he could ask Dean to do it he was willing to do it himself. This one is linked closely with Drawing the Line and His Own Son
