Hmmmm....

Anyone who read my earlier post this afternoon? Ignore the part about not getting this done tonight.

Oh, my. That was all kinds of awesome.

A/N: Those of you who’ve read my stories before know that I stake no claim in the medical community. However, that said, I have been a patient, and I have been a care-taker, and I have done online research on the mess I’ve gotten these two into. I hope you can allow for some leniency in healing for the sake of the story. Oh, and Brinnon, WA, is a real place; I’ve taken liberties with its economic situation and layout. I think that’s it. For now.

One time only a/n: This story assumes some facts gleaned from TV canon, with my own interpretive modifications. I haven’t read the published “John Winchester Journal,” nor have I looked anything up online pertaining to that work. It’s more out of laziness than stubbornness on my part, but I figured what’s shown on TV is universal—the other works, not so much. 

I’m going with this timeline: Sam began attending Stanford in the fall of 2001 at the age of 18. Dean would have been 22. Dean states in the Pilot, “You know, in almost two years I’ve never bothered you, never asked you for a thing.” This story assumes Sam was actually in his fourth year at Stanford when Dean arrived asking for his help to find John, and that Dean’s statement was actually in reference to an unknown event mid-way through Sam’s college career where the brothers parted ways—Dean to hunting, Sam to school—and ‘lost’ contact.

With that, I wanted to say up-front that Sam is in this story through reference and memory only. This is an exploration of a particular father/son relationship; it centers on John and Dean in the weeks and months that follow Sam’s departure. If you choose to read, I do hope you enjoy.

ARGH! LiveJournal was down when I finished this last night. Had to wait until this morning to post. My apologies.

I am still in SPN-love overdrive.

I’m sorry this is a day late. And I’ll warn you now, it’s long. I am giving serious thought to either skipping book club or pulling an all-nighter with the watching and rambling after club because… this season is wrecking me. And as it turns out, I actually have to work on Fridays (who knew?!), so writing this was a concentrated effort.

Before I watched the episode this morning, I had delusions that I’d write a quick ramble to make up for its lateness.

Then I watched.

*wraps arms around self*

WAR! What is it good for? Absolutely nothin’. Huh! Say it again…

Goodness these boys have untapped resources when it comes to twisting us up and leaving us in pieces. And meanwhile, we’re treated to a fantastically entertaining story.
