Fandom always dumps on John, and I didn't love that about the story either, but in this AU, what's he going to do in terms of self-sacrifice? Take a bullet for Dean? I can't think of any way to express that part of the mythology without serious melodrama.
Don't worry, we're sure to spot Faith first. She's like this cleavagy slut-bomb walking around 'Ooh, check me out, I'm wicked-cool, I'm five-by-five.'

Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

I could see them being held up by a mugger, and loser addict John shoving Dean to the side and attacking the mugger who was about to shoot Dean, and then the mugger runs off into the night, leaving Dean alive and John DED.
There are ways. And given the removed narration of this particular fic, the ways don't have to be detailed or even clear (and therefore make don't have to make sense under a close inspection that wouldn't be possible due to the vaguery).

Eh. Since they're adults, people might expect Dean to protect his dad. Either way, not the sort of thing that happens in real life very often.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

TOTALLY. Every single Awesome!John thing should be linked to from there.

Could we quote fic and stuff? Not that there's a whole lot that paints John favorably, but I don't know how to make graphics.
Wait, that won't work, we're looking for canon. Duh.

No! Any fic you find that does John well, I'll link to (a John-centric blurb would be nice, but that's asking a lot, I dig). Any good John art, I'll reblog or post. Any fanwork, canon, meta dissection, hot picture of JDM or Matt, ANYTHING. Go Sir nuts.
