This is all very good stuff. Fascinating, as well.
We're proud to say that the Class of '99 has the lowest mortality rate of any graduating class in Sunnydale history.

I second the insta-rec, having read it.
It's way cool.

Oh, my. I hadn't read CoES, but I just spent a nice lunch break doing so.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh oh oh, I loved CoES so much. Must go read sequel right now.
You do know there's a prequel to CoES, right?
She also did a commentary on CoES awhile back, which was fun.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
You know, I was looking over that story, and I realized it's a classic h/c scenario from the X-Files. (I've read six or eight instantiations of that specific scenario, in fact. Not that space aliens ever happen on Supernatural.) And I also realized, there isn't much of that that I read any more: not h/c, not that classic attitude, not that tonal standoffishness. Is it my reading habits? Or is that kind of fiction relatively rare these days?

I don't think h/c is rare at all. Or ever has been. I don't read a lot of it, but if done well, like here, I can enjoy it. Yes, I'm emo too!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I guess I just haven't run across much of it in Supernatural, not of that sort. (It may be my eyeballs protecting me from myself.) It just reminded me so strongly of the old stuff, like 6-8 years old, that I was really surprised.
Strangers and the Strange Dead territory, you know? And a couple others whose titles I can't remember.

Art Crawl!!!
So, the show that has all the former X-Files writers/crew inspires fic that is reminiscent of X-Files fic?
Interesting.

Oh, yeah. And JET's story, "Night Giving Off Flames", very similar premise. And yet a very different story than "Strangers".
Oh, and what's that one by MD1016, the really famous relatively early one, with the rape scene in the middle of the street? You know the one I mean? People thought it was soooo romantic...
