Story: Bruised & Battered ~Destiel

John Winchester had always thought that he was a good parent, but ever since Mary had died, looking after the kids was hard. They reminded him of her constantly, making the ache for her almost unbearable.
He coped by hunting the monsters that were hiding in the dark. Most people didn’t get it, didn’t understand it, but John didn’t care. He wasn’t going to sit by and watch how other families were getting torn apart, like his family had been. No, he was going to save them.

But how was he going to save other families, if he couldn’t even figure out what had happened to his own son?

Or the one where a hunt goes wrong and Dean can’t stop crying.
