Really enjoyed this one shot from Bobby's POV. What always makes me smile about Bobby, and what you have captured to a tee, is that although he lives like a hermit, looks like a drifter and does his damnedest to maintain that tough hard hunter exterior - he gets those boys. In a way he demonstrates better parenting skills than John sometimes - his recognises that Sam's heart lies in book learning and that maybe including him more would perhaps draw him into the hunting world better than ordering him there. 

Liked the idea of him as the fourth emergency service. And when Sam mistakes Dean for his mother, very touching. The way you portray Bobby throughout this piece is heartwarming - he is a good friend to John , not wanting to judge him, but not willing to stand aside and see the boys suffer either.

Nice job.

Thank you – I adore Bobby, he’s all gruff exterior but seemingly soft and squishy on the inside.

I don’t like to overly judgmental with John. Whilst I’ve never exactly seen him as ‘father of the year’ I like to believe that he did love his sons. I’m glad you liked this story, it was a bit of a rush job but I’m pleased with the end result. Liz x

A clever one shot!  Now we know why Sam doesn't like drinking whisky.  You have Bobby's attitude and wry humor down perfectly!
