Wow. Just Wow. With a capital W. That was fantastic.
I loved how detailed this was, and how you wrote everyone's emotions. Everything seemed so real and the way it was written made the reader really feel for the characters.
In the beginning [part 1], I didn't really like how John was drunk, but the way you explained everything throughout the rest of the story was definitely realistic and really made sense, which made me change my mind. I can totally see now how John would do that, trying to numb the pain but just making everything worse.
I loved that ending scene the best with John all back to normal again and apologizing to the boys. Dean's surprise and fear was heartbreaking and John's words were really touching.
One of my favorite lines:
"You have to, Dean. You have to remind me that I still have you and Sammy. You have to talk to me so that if I get lost again, I'll remember how to come back, okay?"
So in-character for John, and seriously, if anything or anyone could get him out of the hole he buried himself in, it would be his boys.
Anyway, awesome job! I can't wait for the next part! =)
