Willa Routh never knew her father. Her mother rarely talked about him, and when Willa went asking questions, she got shut down. She never even got a name...
Whelp, this is it, folks! The absolute last part in Bloodline!
What a ride. I had my reservations about writing a daughter!fic, because they all sound the same. The dad is usually the same suspect time and time again. Willa's story had evolved and changed so many times. She was originally going to be apart of Season 12. I had written scenes for that path. I had really wanted to see how the dynamic would have been with not only Sam and Dean, but Mary as well.
But honestly? As time went on, Willa didn't seem to fit in a canon season. And unlike this version that you just finished, that original story didn't have such a happy ending. We wouldn't have said goodbye to Willa like we did here. Take my word for it.
As usual, I appreciate all who have read every part of this. Voiced their opinions on parts. Liked/loved chapters. Felt some emotions, whether good or bad. I really hope that you came to like Willa like I have. If anything, I hope this encourages you to dig deeper for those daughter!fics that separate themselves from the run-of-the-mill.
Oh, and here's an exit poll: Who correctly knew Willa's dad from before the big reveal?
