Missed this before! This is nicely dark and I don't know, foreshadowing always has the power of creeping me out, especially with the last line! I love your thoughtful John voice, and the boys RPing Star Wars. septembers_ coda is right about John's life being sucky- how do you live with this kind of knowledge about your son? Especially when said son seems the worst candidate for any evil.
Lovely writing, bb, you always have a flow to your fics that I adore.
