I loved this story.  I thought it was an awesome use of Dean's time travel.  Very nice job!

I think this was an inspired story.  It is a good reason for John to have left, and makes him seem like less of a jerk.  I love the descriptions of Dean as a little boy, too.  I can totally picture it.

Author's Response:

Thanks so much!  From what Mike Guenther said in "Home," John was pretty dedicated to his family before the fire, and especially loved his boys.  I can't see him walking out on Mary and the kids unless it was something pretty big.  In my mind, it would have to be much more than John Winchester being a selfish jerk -- it just doesn't jive with what we know of him.

Something like this would definitely have been motivation enough for him to split, though admittedly highly unlikely that it would have been for this particular reason.  lol.

 

Again, thanks so much for the review!  I really appreciate it!

I like how you think on this one and it is a great reason for the fight. John's train of thought is understandable and I just love that you went there!

Dean Van Halen, you can almost hear John's gears grinding in his head, adding two and two and getting the right answer but still being wrong.

Love the little bit of sick, hurt Dean as well. Great story. Thanks Mary x



Author's Response:

Thanks, hon!  Ever since 4.03 I've wondered if John ever put 2 and 2 together.  Did he ever look at Dean and remember that drifter from all those years ago?

John was smart as they come, and stubborn as a mule -- if anyone could have drawn that memory up and made something of it, it's him.  So I had fun playing around with this scenario.

Thanks for reading and reviewing!

VERY clever idea...who knows?  Maybe that IS what they argued about!

Author's Response:

Who knows indeed?  I've wondered about that.  It must have been pretty big, considering how much John loved his boys.  Yes, the man was stubborn to the point of insensitivity (and even cruelty?), but he loved his boys (especially before the hunt took over his life and became his obsession).  I remember Mike Guenther in "Home" waxing poetic about how much he loved his kids.  So for me, if John walked out on Mary it was for an Earth-shattering kind of event, at least to him.

Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!

I read this at another site and absolutely loved it. I enjoyed rereading it. I can see why John would be suspicious since Dean would look a lot like Dean Van Halen~LOL! But he still should have trusted Mary. Poor weeDean! I felt worse for him when John got all quiet and withdrawn from him while driving in the car. I imagine that was Dean's first taste of being rejected by family members. And of course poor little Dean in the hospital was so heart wrenching, too. Hopefully, John learned his lesson from this. Thanks for the great one shot!

Author's Response:

Thanks hon!  I'm pretty pleased with this one.  It went where I wanted it to go, so I guess I call that a win.

Glad you liked it the second time around!
