Jonathan Daniel Dunne had big dreams. He wanted to be a Texas Ranger, to be a lawman, to help people, to put away bad men and keep the world safe.

Instead, he helped his mother at work, cleaning up Master Jones’ manor. Instead, he went to school when he could, hoping to broaden his potential and give himself a future.

Then Ma died, leaving him completely alone, and the scant amount of money she’d saved wasn’t near enough to go to college.

Master Jones(who he was almost sure was his father) said he’d have a position for the rest of his life, but he couldn’t stand being a servant.

So he headed out west; he’d taught himself to ride on Master Jones’ horses, taught himself to shoot when he could, and he would fulfill his dreams.

No one in the world expected him to succeed, but Jonathan Daniel Dunne became JD and he wouldn’t allow himself to fail.

I know where hope goes when it dies. I’ve been there before. First time, my momma didn’t walk away after a car wreck; second, Daddy ate a bullet ‘cause the loneliness was too much.

Third time I collapsed ‘cause’a sobbing, that damned John Winchester told me his fuck-up got my Billy killed.

I know where hope goes when it dies, fluttering to the ground and gasping its last breath. I know how it feels when the world blinks around you and you don’t know how you’re still standing ‘cause there’s a hole where your heart used to be.

When John’s oldest boy calls, Ash doesn’t catch me before I fall, dropping the phone and screaming.

I know where hope goes when it dies. It’s a sad, barren, cold place. I’ve been there before, but I live there now, ‘cause John killed my Billy and now his sons killed my Jo.

Notes: I really really want to write an Ice Age fic where I kill Diego. Does that make me odd? Realize that he’s my favorite character of the entire film. 
More notes: part of my Dean canon

Chapter I

 

            Dean got caught shoplifting at a gas station when he was fifteen. Dad was five states over hunting something that turned out to be a human psycho, and Sammy was hom—in the hotel room sick with the flu. He asked for Reese’s. Dean couldn’t say no, even though he didn’t have any money.

            He hadn’t hit his growth spurt yet, and got told by numerous creepy adults he was too pretty for his own good. The cashier was a guy in his late twenties, with too many facial piercings and not enough brains, but he’d gotten a good enough look at Dean that he’d be able to make a police report if Dean kicked his ass.

            So Dean didn’t. 

            He followed Dad’s lessons to the letter: did what he was told to do and he shut up about it.

            Sammy enjoyed the fucking Reese’s and Dean brushed his teeth seventeen times throughout the night. Dad showed up late in the afternoon the next day and Dean took off after making sure he was okay, not returning until after midnight. 

            To this day, he hates the smell of peanut butter.

Damn. Damn! I got goosebumps you evil person you.

I like your first person narration, and the concept of where hope goes when it dies. The way you structure and lead us to the last line...

Damn.

[december21st.livejournal.com]

Nicely written.

[tigriswolf]

Thank you!

[tigriswolf]

Thank you!

On the SPN one: poor Ellen. I imagine she'd pretty much lose it if Jo died, and if the boys were involved ... yikes.

[theladyscribe]

God, that second one...

The last line is so elegantly, poignantly, lyrical it kinda gives me the chills. It sounds like something that should be in an old Johnny Cash song.

[tigriswolf]

Thank you for reading!

[tigriswolf]

Oh, thank you so much!

[tigris-lilsis.livejournal.com]

yeah, i'm commenting about the mag 7 fic. you know, i was expecting a little more angst. good job though. ;)

[tigriswolf]

_More_ angsty? Write it yourself, then!

Thank you for reading, though.

[mitchsgirl.livejournal.com]

*sigh*

I love hustler!Dean in any incarnation. That SO needs to be made canon, 'cause it might as well be. Also enjoyed the Jo one.

[tigriswolf]

Thank you!

[fpvs.livejournal.com]

Oh, my! That Ellen fic just GOT me. Grabbed my heart and squeezed.

[embroiderama]

I thought the Dean one hit me hard, then I scrolled up and read the Ellen one. Ow. ow. Seriously. Very good, both of them, but painful.

[tigriswolf]

Thank you for reading!

[tigriswolf]

Thank you so much!

Loved both of the SPN fics...I've seen some Dean doing unpleasant stuff for Sammy's sake fics before, but this one was at once cute (in the Reese's, sweet Dean way) and painfully touching (oh, the peanut butter - great touch).

And then the Ellen? Rarely do I make a point to read anything not directly Sam and/or Dean, but you made this beautiful in just the right amount of words - especially the last line.

Perfect :)

[tigriswolf]

Thank you so much!

Ooh, an M7 and Supernatural fan! I love both shows!

My very favorite line from the M7 work was:

No one in the world expected him to succeed, but Jonathan Daniel Dunne became JD and he wouldn’t allow himself to fail.

JD does seem pretty determined to start a new life out west, doesn't he and I think you really captured that about him.

I was glad to see Ellen there. I'm not sure there are many Ellen fans in Supernatural fandom (which I haven't really explored) but I like her! The despair she is feeling in your story is very well done.

Is it possible to smack around a character in a work of fiction? If so, I have some smack-down just waiting to go here for that slimy cashier at that store. The last line was just heart-breaking.

[tigriswolf]

Thanks to smilla02 I discovered "The Magnficent Seven." Now, I own the aforementioned show(season 1, anyway), a Hallmark movie, and two seasons of "Without a Trace." (Yes, I like Eric Close. How'd you guess?)

And "Supernatural" owns my soul.

I like JD, though he isn't my favorite of the seven. But tigris_lilsis asked me for a JD piece, and her wish is my command. I prefer Vin.

I do like Ellen, most of the time. And Jo, too. I thought she(Ellen) was out of line in "Simon Said," but she was probably just trying to protect her daughter.

And please, smack that cashier to Kingdom Come! He deserves it.

Thank you for reading!

[wolfandboarfics.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's right. Season Two of Without A Trace has finally come out! I love Eric Close and Vin is definitely my favorite M7 character even though I love the others too. What a great cast!

When I first heard they were doing a show called Supernatural I was so excited. Now that it has exceeded all my expectations I wait for each new episode with joy. The characters are all so interesting and the relationships so complicated and full of emotional baggage. Talk about another great cast too!

Oh, about killing off your favorite character in Ice Age, I think it's a fairly natural impulse for writers and actors do love death scenes! ;-)

[tigriswolf]

I've found that my favorites are usually tortured beyond all comprehension. They just suffer so prettily, you know?

[tru-faith-lost.livejournal.com]

Bitch! And I say that in the nicest possible context. *bats lashes*

[tigriswolf]

*bows*

[magnifica7.livejournal.com]

Oh, JD!

Excellent - great insight! :)

[tigriswolf]

Thank you!
