John is a tough character, there's so much to love and to not love about him, he's very complex.
Absolutely. He's a very interesting character. There were times I just wanted to hug canon!John and others where I really felt like smacking him one. Overall I like him, despite (or because of?) all his flaws, but right now I want to kick him good. :)

This story just won't leave me alone, I keep coming back to it, so I'll join the club of those who'd love to read a sequel dealing with the aftermath of this. Pretty please?
