Nicely done. I like the concept of taking a look at whose lives John’s touched, and how he’s made a lasting impact. I think I liked John’s section best, as it really pulled at the heartstrings.

Favorite lines:

“What’s dead should stay dead, eh, Winchester?” he whispers to the empty house and waits for time to claim him.

I ache for him here. Poor guy.

because that’s the way the Johns of the world are, full of air and piss till real life grinds them down and smoothes them up like the real diamonds they are.

*g* Nifty observation on Deacon’s part.

Dean wants to be just like Dad, always had, and Sam doesn’t have the heart to tell him that Dean lacks the stubbornness and coldness that Sam knows he himself carries.

Ooh, I like this a lot, the idea that Sam has an edge to him that Dean doesn’t.

When Dad’s not around some part of him just…just doesn’t breathe.

Oh, Dean.

So he tries to focus thoughts on pleasant memories, but it’s like trying to shut your eyes when someone has cut off your eye lids, and the agony is terrible.

Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow … Brutal description.

So terrible that most of the times there are no memories at all because he’s not sure who or what he is, the noise of his mind screaming too loud for anything else.

Oh, John.

A man’s not dead while his name’s still spoken.

And a man who’s not dead, still fights.

John Winchester slips through the gate.

Awesome ending. I love the feeling of triumph here.
