“My deludedly patriotic youth” He WAS in the army then? Interesting.
“For most of my adult life, I've been known as John Marcone” Wait wait, what? That's not his real name?! Ok, so, I realise he probably changed it in the interests of dodging mortal authorities back in the day (decided the army wasn't run sensibly enough for him and deserted, maybe?) though I can't help but think he was always fated to play the role he does now, the Mortal representative in the Supernatural arena, because he's effectively nameless. He protected himself from all kinds of magic without even realising it at the time he made that decision. John Marcone, champion of humanity. I can see this coming.
I know! I've been thinking of all sorts of possibilities. I may have to write an A rose by any other name fic for Marcone. I love that his past is such a mystery. I don't see him deserting, but I see him coming home to something that made him change his name. Maybe being dishonorably discharged for something he couldn't control.
Never mind ... my brain is racing. I'll put that on my list of fics to think about!
I'm so glad you liked it! I thought it was freaking brilliant.
