Oh, dude. Just in case you didn't know, horse-John is totally a non-pedigree nag but he's about half-Clydesdale with a good whack of Quarter Horse and god-knows-what. And he's black, with a broad blaze, white whiskers and four stockings.

Also, that icon is so very appropriate. *SMISHES HIS LITTLE CONFUZZLED HEAD*

This is the only goddamn ranch in the county that's been untouched by some seriously evil pack of werewolves, and the locals reckon it's all thanks to this horse. This horse is badass.
and THEN -
John steps forward, brushing Dean to the side and Sam's hands cup automatically around John's nose as he snuffles at them, mouths at Sam's shirt and his hair and ears. There's a long white scar down the side of Sammy's face but he smells clean, calm. There's silver in his hair
So simple, but so much conveyed. All those years, still together, still hunting. Dean instinctively knowing that it'd be okay if he rode the horse.
I'm smiling and crying and laughing and loving the whole damn fic. Oh, and the artwork for 2 was utterly wonderful. I swore softly to myself when I saw it.

These are awesome, and I so wish I could read the rest of the story where the boys were horses for 16 years...
no subject
That story would go something like:
wheee, eating! wheee, running around! wheee, horseplay!
Thanks for commenting :D

Comments, by part ...
Trusty Steed
I love the boys getting into such mischief, and the car turning into a horse. And all three of them riding the horse back to the motel makes for a great image. *g*
Favorite lines:
He holds out his free hand as Sammy kicks and wriggles in the other, buzzing spittle against the collar of John's shirt.
Aww, Sammy drool!
The Colt
Very interesting concept. I love how awkward and wild the boys are after they change back, the way they’re so uncomfortable in the bodies they haven’t worn for so long.
Dad's an Ass
Love John as a horse, and too funny that he’s a girl horse! I think what I liked most, though, is how he can still hunt things/save people, even as a horse.
Favorite lines:
And as for what happened after, well, he didn't care to think too long on that. It was more about where you were than where you were going.
Very practical, so very John.
Finding himself a previously-human soul alone amongst a bunch of animals isn't the most reassuring realisation for the progress of John's own soul through the ranks.
*g*
And sure, he's always maintained his understanding of the language. Not that he's ever let on. Mostly because it's much more goddamn entertaining to be more ornery than obedient.
LOL! Oh, John, you amuse me so.
"Don't listen to him, ya big softy."
*snickers* Aww, look at Dean talking unawares to his daddy.
"Does she look wild to you?" Dean says back, then straightens up, still yanking at John's mane, and digs his heels into John's side. Dean whoops and John's off. Heading toward those hills.
Great ending. Love this image.
