I have a whole category in my memories entitled "Dean's kid".
Does anybody mind if I pass out?

Because books.
I'm writing two different stories where Dean has a kid. Schmoopy angst. Save me.

Thanks for posting the color meta link, 'suela. I had skimmed it, intending to go back, but it slipped my (tinylittle)mind, so thanks. Should Ailleann post a link to the awesome Impala meta from S1 & S2? I would, but I don't have it handy.
Juliebird, have you read Gimme Shelter? It's the one I pull out as ammo in the "John should have left the kids with somebody who could give them a normal life," and "the road/the hunt is no place to raise kids" argument.

Oh, Gimme Shelter is awesome. As is the sequel, which is, in some ways, even more heartbreaking.

Gimme Shelter is so awesome that I'm so frustrated by Nilchance's failure to write any more that I really really want to take it on myself. Which I never do, it's not like I don't have my own writing. But there's so much possibility there...

I was just looking for more! That was harsh, and good.
And now I'm seeing Dean and Sam arguing over this hypothetical kid of Dean's, Sam bitching that the road and the hunt is no place to raise a kid, and Dean countering that it worked out just fine for him and Sam, and then Sam looking pointedly at his brother, and Dean being all, "What?"

There's a sequel to Gimme Shelter?

Gimme Shelter hurt a little too much for me. Today at least.
But I agree with Bev. The way the boys were raised wasn't ideal, and it could have gone off the rails a thousand different ways, but John gave them love, family, strength, and as much emotional support as he could. Lots and LOTS of kids have worse, right in the suburbs with an SUV in the driveway and a PlayStation under the Christmas tree.
I think part of it, though, part of the thing that makes the show work so well, is that Dean and Sam had *each other*. An only child in that situation might not have made it through.
