Nooooo! Not improved! LOL- I'm still broken- I cannot get this story out of my head! That's how affecting it was. I even tried reading high doses of schmoop, but I keep coming back to this like a sore tooth! *g*
I'm fascinated by all the different reactions to the John in this story, and how everybody picks up on something different. I can see some of John's intention to care for his boys and yes, it comes through for Dean but not Sam, who really doesn't ever seem (through Sam's eyes?) to get John's approval. Like, ever.
Still, for me, the beating in the shed just really trumped everything. I can't help but see that as abusive and brutal and over the top, no matter what Sam had broken or how mouthy he got. And then him having to come home and clean up his own bloodied and bruised legs, and be sent to bed. Wow. Just wow.
And Sam's sense of imprisonment, which is so true, because no matter how bratty he may be being, he is still just a kid, and he doesn't have any choice.
Still, I'd love to see this story continued. I'd love to know how the aftermath of this played out, and what happened next in this particular version of the Winchesters, even though I know it will only break my heart a little more.
