Wonderful story! I don't make any secret of the fact that I dislike John as a father. Had the writers hinted more toward this I may have had a slightly different opinion of him, because what you've written really makes sense. I love JDM and I think they could have done more with him on the show. I like fics where we get to see different sides of him. I also wish we could have had a lot more of Missouri so I'm so happy you have such a great portrayal of her here.

This was beautifully creepy and incredibly sad. Your birthday gifted artwork is extraordinary! Just gorgeous.
