Liked the mystery and Dean's frustration with the ending. Poor boy - he really wanted to have a clean cut baddy instead of a fuzzy thoughtless college oaf. I liked the interweaving of the past and future and of Dean's ambivalence to seeing Bev again as well as the hint that part of John's withdrawal was his fear of risking his heart and memories. I think if they did marry Bev was smart and kind enough to work around Dean and wear him down. On a different note - I wanted to belt John upside the head in this fic just as much as Bev did. Which really is how I feel about him in the series too - so all's good ^_^
