I hope it'll put a better spin on John's behavior here, which comes across as fairly appalling.
True, but then again, we're seeing that behavior filtered through Sam's perspective.
And woohoo! to maybe getting the story from Dean's point of view.
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Oh, absolutely. But assuming Dean wasn't lying in the postcards about how he didn't hear from John for six months, something definitely hinky was going on.

Ah. Good point. Very good point.

Oh I loved that fic! I can't wait for the next installment from Dean's POV. The mixed medium with the postcards was great. I have never seen anything like that before in fanfic--like an epistolatory novel! (Sorry, uber Aca/Lit major dorkiness shining through). Friday seems so far away.

Because books.
Oh wow. I loved that. Even when it was BREAKING MY HEART.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Wonderful piece of work.
I love reading other people's mail. Even when they're fictional people.
Oh, I don't go around robbing mailboxes, but I do love published correspondences. I have a collection of my parents' letters to each other when he was away in the army. It's relevatory, in a way talking to them about that period never would have been.

Real letters from real people are awesome, Bev. I read some of my grandfather's letters to my grandmother during WWII, and they were just fascinating. Also, he called her "Bluebird," which made me sniffle.

There is just something about reading letters meant for someone else that makes them more powerful--maybe the private/secret thing. I came across some letters between my parents from when I was about two years old and she was out of state being treated with chemo (she is a breast cancer survivor). Those letters were pretty fascinating and I felt a bit like a spy.

Something just occurred to me. How, exactly, did Gordon get word that Bela would know where the Winchesters were while he was stuck in prison? Is Folsom really a hotbed for gossip about the casual aquaintances of high-end curio brokers?
