Title: The One You'll Know By
Author:

Fandom: Supernatural
Pairing: Gen
Length: 00:27:42
Reader's Summary: None given by author. Pre-series, John Winchester's POV. Representative quote: "He just can’t drive anymore until he sits in some air conditioning for five goddamn minutes and cools down, literally and figuratively, before he accidentally murders one of his kids."
Rec: I must have listened to this one over ten times. The reading is beautiful, nuanced, earnest, moving and intimate. I love the way Nickelmountain's voice lets the emotions flow through it rather than trying to present and explain them.
The story is beautiful. The dynamics between Sam and Dean, and between Dean and John, come across in an easy way, touching, sometimes funny, and just very real. Excellent characterization (though too one-sided, to my taste). I love the way exasperation, frustration, caring, impatience, love, hope, and all those unmet needs swivel around each other. A million little details that make me feel like I'm there with this family, the heat of the day and the AC, boogers, shoelaces, Tootsie Pops and all.
