“You here to show me what a real man is or something?”

Only Jo.

Like someone else mentioned, you wrote Jo honestly. It hurts, but it's hopeful. I loved Ellen's speech. I loved the little details like the Windex and Ash's car. I loved Jo's convo. with Dean (their banter is always great and fun to write/read!). Then that ending with how life goes on. Jo and Ellen always represented strength to me, and it's because we get to see how they endure and survive when they have to pick up the pieces. You showed us that in this fic.

Thanks for sharing!
