Pretty much, yeah. I loved the way it all forced Sam to reconsider what it must have been like for John, dealing with two kids.
Oh, yeah. That was masterfully done, and so perfectly in character.

And yet John was still pretty much himself. I wouldn't call it a generous characterization, but it was believable.
I actually didn't really like the bit where Dean couldn't read; I had problems with that because I think John did a better job than most people in the fandom seem to think. They're all alive and basically sane, after all, and together--and you don't do that on that kind of lifestyle without some seriously good parenting skills.

My biggest problem with that part is that most kids I know were reading at least a little, or knew their letters, by four.
Though I give it a semi pass for Sam's reaction.

Yeah, pretty much with you there. Sam's spot on through the entire thing, and it made me flail. Also, wee!Dean is such a heartbreaker, even when he's punching kids in the playground.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm reading the crack fic now. I have a hard time believing in Dean's reaction to Sam at the beginning, and that he doesn't keep fighting longer. Still fun so far though.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
because I've spent the last couple of days just obsessing (more than usual) about Dean as a semi-feral child
I love you. And I love that you're *still* thinking about this.
Well, it's not SPN, but would anyone mind helping me out with some work on QAFUS fic?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm posting a direct link here because I simply cannot choose what to excerpt. The Nikita writer has posted her personal memories of watching LFN (as part of a 10-year anniversary thing the fandom is sort of having).
No posting any replies or poking the fandom, okay? Keep the mocking here, if you please.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Oh, bless her earnest and heavily-thesaurused little heart...

Always Anti-fascist!
Underminded?I know most fandom stuff sounds silly, especially if it's stuff you're not a fan of, and I could actually enjoy that show, as, enjoyable cheese or something. But I hope I don't sound *that* silly.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
HAHAHAHA, oh, bless your heart, Dana. If I ever form a band, I'm toally calling it "military modish clandestine chic." A trifle long, but hey, it rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?
Was plasma TV even available 10 years ago?
