Rather a Story

Title: Privilege of Choice
Prompt/Summary: This is my long-overdue help_pakistan fic, for the very very patient inyron. She wanted a scenario in which John was forced to choose between his children.
Characters: John, Sam, Dean
Rating: PG13
Wordcount: 8,619
Disclaimer: I tried to negotiate them away from Sera, but she had this death-grip on Sam and she kind of snarled at me, so I backed off.
Warnings: No major warnings, no spoilers. Pre-series, teen!chesters.
Neurotic Author's Note #1: This one was a beast to write. I've never really understood John to my satisfaction, and I'm not sure I did him justice. I think he was a man caught in an impossible situation who was forced to compromise so many of his principles that, in the end, he no longer recognized himself. I may try to write him more, if only to try again to wrap my head around him. inyron, I am so sorry this was late!
Neurotic Author's Note #2: Because this was so late, I decided to post it unbeta'd. Please be forgiving if you find any massive errors, 'kay?

This is for my own purposes, feel free to skip. My master list of projects is getting a bit unwieldy, so I'm just putting this down in order to make sure I have my ducks in a row.

Writing is hard!

I am late on my help_pakistan fic, because I decided to write a John POV and it's HARD. Gah. John is a MYSTERY to me and I live in stark, drooling admiration of writers who can wrap their minds around him. Also, wee!chester fic is not my forte. I can do it, but it's not my preferred playground.

Yay, challenges.

*goes back to work*

Okay, folks! Bidding for help_pakistan has been extended to tomorrow. Now's your chance to bid either on me or any of the other lovely fanfic/fanvidders/fanartists/podficcers/sundry who are offering up their time and talent for the cause.

My thread, just in case.

Bidding ends in two days, so I thought I would post a helpful reminder that I'm offering a fic up for grabs!

Mind you, all you awesome folks have already offered waaaaay more money than I was expecting (have I mentioned how awesome you are?), so it's all good, but you never know!

Okay, it's a good cause, folks! This is the first time I've felt confident enough in my abilities to offer up something for charity, so here we go.

So I'm offering a fic, minimum 1,000 words. Click on the butterfly to go to my thread!
