Thank you for this wonderful John fic. He's usually portrayed as an tunnel visioned lunatic,I've always felt he wasn't happy with his choices,this story showed that side of him.
Author's Response: You're welcome, and thank you very much for reading and reviewing! John was pretty tunnel visioned, but I've always thought he was doing the best he could to protect his boys in what was essentially an untenable situation. I find John one of the most interesting characters; he's very complex, he loves his sons fiercely, and they know it, yet he was capable of some pretty awful things.

Thank you for pointing me in the direction of this beautiful little fic. I can't tell you how nice it is to read about the John I believe we were supposed to see. His entire conversation with Jim was especially poignant knowing what's going to happen to each of them. Thanks for writing! Eleri
Author's Response: Thanks for the review! I am glad you liked it. I really enjoyed your story. Particularly since I agree with you about John. I see him as a man who was desperate, and always saw himself as barely ahead of the evil that was after his family.

Oh I dont know, I kind of like it, it was really sweet. ;)
Author's Response: Thank you! Sometimes I think I'll go back and tweak this, but then I think I should leave well enough alone. :)

I thought this was beautiful...I love John and always thought he was a fantastic dad although a very flawed and damaged one, and you captured all that very well. And beautifully written too, great little one shot!
Author's Response: Thank you! I think of John the same way - an essentially good man, and good father, but also very flawed. And whose choices, with the best of intentions, can have pretty serious consequences.

Loved the angst, the uncertainty, the determination. The fear, the love. Such mixed emotions and you wrote them all very well. Just had to let you know I liked it. Keep writing.
Author's Response: Thank you! I gotta say, John is a tough character to write - he's driven by so many different things.

I really enjoyed this one and i agree with your description of John. To me first and foremost John was a man that loved and wanted to protect his kids. You did a great job making that point. Thanks of the read - K
Author's Response: Thank you for the review! I know there are people who don't like John, so I'm glad there's someone out there who agrees with how I see him. :) I've got a few John drabbles that might make it to actual stories - all trying to make some sense (good or bad) of who he is and why he's done what he's done.

Nice story. I love John character and how he is torn between teach Dean to protect them and take away his chilhood as a result. Kids usually don´t see things in the same way as adults and therefore maybe you could be so kind to write the same story from Dean´s POV. Thanks for this bittersweet story.
Author's Response: Wow, I'm flattered.....writing from Dean's POV is a good idea; I may have to try it. :) Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Oh that's tremendous! So full of raw pain and love from John and courage from tiny little Dean. I am so proud of my son. John turned away, but not quickly enough, when his smile mingled with regret, and all he could think was I’m sorry, Dean Loved those lines such tragedy! Lovely writing! Thank you Bev xx
Author's Response: Thanks! I really liked the look on Dean's face in No Exit when he's describing the moment his dad smiles - there's clearly a lot he's remembering in that moment. (Jensen did a nice job on that. :)) It was that, and a visceral "what the heck was John thinking?" reaction that motivated the story.

very nice job, i really liked this story. loved that Dean was a good shot even when he was little!! just very sad he had to learn to defend himself and his brother at such a young age!! thanks for sharing!! bambers;)
Author's Response: You're welcome! And thank you for the great review! John Winchester is a hard guy to figure out - the way he pushed his sons, etc - this is my way of trying to understand some of the contradictions. :)
