I always love to,see stories with John and the boys before the series started. I loved how John finally took Dean aside and talked to him and I loved how the boys communicate without words. Very nicely done.

Oho... this is Great !

John's POV of speechless Dean and speechless interaction between the brothers was just Awesome !

And the way he finally told Dean that it was okay was Nice !

Love it !

A very lovely piece between John and Dean.

Awesome. Love how you explained how he'd done it before as well as how well he was taking to it now, especially with Sammy backing him up with their own wordless language.

:) just needs the words in his head to be said outloud with a different voice loved it

this is thebestestfriendsforever just moved to a different account.

good story.

this was great really liked it.

aww dean! poor deany! and john can be awesome at times :D thankyou! xx

Aww, this was such a sweet image and so indicative of the boys' relationship: "He had little trouble adjusting to Dean’s silence; in fact he took it as incentive to stick even closer to his brother than normal. He cuddled up to Dean like he hadn’t in years, and Dean allowed it. It might have looked like regression, but John believed it was the opposite. Sam sensed what his brother needed and gave it readily, setting aside the proprietary barriers of teenaged boys."

I loved this insight: "Whether Sammy remembered it or not, it was the basis for their relationship. No, his boys didn’t need words. Maybe they never had."

I love stories where the boys communicate without words, and actually wrote one myself recently. I love what it shows about their bond that they can get along so well without speaking, and this story was a fantastic example of that. I also like stories that show John as a loving father, and I liked how he really tried here, and eventually had a heart-to-heart with Dean about fear.

Very nicely done. I'm favoriting this!

So much awesomeness.

Great fic!

This was so good! Wow, great job!

Aw. So sweet. Beautiful story!

Lovely. Sam and Dean communicating so well without words, especially in those days, is so very plausible. Loved Bobby giving John a reality check and I loved this caring, awkward yet still gruff John.
