Supernatural Fic: Not Stopping; G

[definewisdom]

Title: Not Stopping
Author: Mariana O'Connor
Character: John and the boys
Rating: G
Time frame: pre-series, pre-Stanford, no spoilers
Pairing: none, gen
Disclaimer: Not mine, wish they were... *daydreams*
Summary: Everywhere they go, it's always the same.
Author's Note: Fanfic100 again... I'm getting along with that one alright. prompt 065 - passing



A smile, a nod and a small joke, idle flirting as you wait for your meal/drink/information.

“Yes they’re both mine, ma’am… 10 and 6/13 and 9/7 and 2… no it’s just me.”

Pity, a sad smile and a pat on the arm. Mothering now, not flirting, and with the information comes a plate of cookies and maybe a glass of milk.

“Thank you, Miss, it’s very kind of you.”

Then, always the same question: sometimes cautious, sometimes suspicious, sometimes (when the boys are a bit more grown up and the girl’s a bit younger) wistful. In response, the same words: sometimes contrite, sometimes amused, always truthful.

“No, we’re not stopping – just passing through.”

Thanks! Not my usual sort of fic so it's good to know you liked it.

You put so much story into so few words, here, I'm awed and impressed. Deeply touching and insightful little vignette. Lovely.

Wow... such high praise - my head's gonna get even _bigger_ than it is already.

Love the icon, btw. It makes me giggle.

Thanks!

I like this a lot -- it works well, and you manage to say a lot in a very small space.

And you know, John.

That's good to hear. Thanks to NaNoWriMo I've taken to waffling a bit... heh. Nice to know I've managed to get over that. (Although, November's only a few months away so I'll be back to verbosity soon)

Thanks... I love writing John, there's so much he doesn't show, which is great from a writer's perspective.

Glad you liked it

Very good, all these repeated scenes. Plays like it could be in John's head.

That's sort of what I was aiming for, like a stream of consciousness through memory. All the scenes sort of blurring together.

Thanks!
