Oh, man. I need to go record Tiber, but I kind of want to go back and read this again right now.
Okay, first, the kids--God, my poor ovaries. I love what a sweet, tender family they are, even with all the weirdness John's sneaking off to do. Not to mention I feel like he spent a lot of time begging his way into changing rooms for a couple of years, there. Dean and Sam are incredibly adorable without being the center of the story
And on the subject of John, I *love* the way you write him. I think the first couple of years after Mary died make for such interesting stories, and I really like this weird place he's in between, like "John Winchester, Suburban Mechanic" and "John Winchester, Scourge of the Undead Hordes". His love for his kids comes across really clearly, and you strike a really nice balance between normal paternal terror and the kind of emotionally paralyzing paranoia he'll get to in a couple of years.
And can I just say, the Dean and Sam doppelgangers, the bracelet/road thing, the accident at the beginning and end--I love your brain. I really really do.

Such a great job.
