I just can't believe I missed this when you first posted it -- I must have been at uni or something, and feeling paranoid about accessing teh pr0n on a public computer (although, of course, this is SO MUCH MORE than smut). Either that, or I was being oblivious. :P
Reading over this again, I'm struck once more by the way that you manage to write John sensitively without ever making him OOC -- something that is very difficult to do. He's 100% pure John the whole time, yet you show a side to him that is only hinted at in canon, and you never make him less hard, even though you show a softer side to him (if that makes any sense at all).

(And-- thank you!)
