What a beautiful OneShot.
You did a fantastic job here. :)
I can't wait to read other stuff from you.

Its still killing me that sam only got the nod... but reading your version helps some... great job on this

This was a nice closure with dad. So sweet and peaceful...the whole thing through John's eyes. It really was perfect. Everything unspoken in that scene, really did say so much...so thank you for speaking what we all wanted to hear from John. I really like John and I hate it when people write him as such a horrible person. John loved his boys, above everything, even if at times his priorities got a little unorganized, but he loved Mary so much too that focusing on revenge sometimes did get in the way of making the right decisions for his boys, but he really did love them and obviously, in the end, he truly proved that.

So once again...you rocked!

That was just right. I loved John's POV. It was great. John's thoughts felt "right". Loved the use of "my baby boy" -- I've used that myself with my son. Thank you so much

Aww Tara, I loved your little scene.
My only complaint with AHBL was that John didn't get to say anything, we didn't get his thoughts but by writing this story, you have given us a peek into his soul.

I loved reading John's POV, hearing his thoughts about his boys and his love for them both. It was beautifully written and I loved it!

My favorite line, "I know that when I saved Dean I also saved Sam." So simple and so true!

Wow! I hope your mum love that story as much as me! All the emotions that we saw in these few moments perfectly described! Very good job!

I really liked what you've done with this oneshot. It was such a bitter sweet moment when John was able to reconnect with his boys and then leave them once again.

Incredible. I love it.

A nice peek into Daddy Winchester's head. I think you got it spot on. Well done.

Very, very, good!

Ach, Tara, so good. I was moved -- and you had some keen observations of that moment:

>>He had a head wound so eerily similar to the head wound he’d had the last time I had seen him...

I thought that same thing! Dean's wounds, like book-ends to an amazing story. The fact that John still wore his wedding ring -- I liked that touch. I liked that you had John *need* to touch Dean, to show him that he was proud. I liked that you had John notice Bobby and Ellen. And I really liked how you had Sam's nod say so much to John.

I got my green-eyed fix in this one, boy. Thanks for that. :)

Good job.

Oh my that was lovely..I thought you captured John's thoughts perfectly..that scene in the finale was so sad and it was really nice to read a story from John's perspective..i must say the story was so good it almost made me cry and i don't tend to cry at fics! Good job..and i see Paying the Price has updated too..yay! *goes to read* Bye for now!!

Laura :)

I thought you captured John's emotions perfectly. Great job on this one.

This was a two-hanky-one-shot! My goodness, girl...what a great job you did on this! I was thrilled to find both of your fics this morning!!

This from John's POV was really well done. You got him down perfectly! I so hope (and my daughter and I have discussed this at length) that he went to be with Mary. That would be perfect. Tears are running down my cheeks again! Great. Thanks.

I mean it, tho, completely awesome!!

Very well done. I loved the imagery, diction, and emotion in this one-shot... You rarely see something done from John's perspective, and you wrote this one beautifully.
Keep it up.
Take care
